This has been bothering me since 1984

    The Terminator series - at least the first 2 always bothered me - never saw the third.

    How is is possible that John Conner sent his father from the future back in time to meet his mom and protect her. How could that happen? I mean how could John have been born and sent Rhys into the past if Rhys hadn't met Sarah to conceive him.

    And in T-2 after they defeat the liquid metal terminator and throw the chip and the hand from the original Terminator in the molten vat, how is Arnold still alive. Wouldn't he have disappeared because with the chip and the hand and with the research building being destroyed the knowledge that would have been necessary to create the Terminators would have been lost. And then if that happened, why would John Conner have been fighting robots in the future ... wouldn't the rise of the machines never have happened then or at least been delayed?

    If John Conner was born in 1984, then why in 1991 he was around 13, but should have been 7?!?!?! It still was a great movie...the Guns N Roses song kicked some ass!! :)

    Actually, the movie is supposed to take place around 1995 or so, and John is supposed to be 10 (weirdly enough).

    Whats more bothersome is a teenage girl playing the Schwarzenegger role in the TV series.

    seriously. it was by accident. I had a cousin that worked on the filming lot where Family Ties was filmed, and I was separated from the rest of everyone, I saw full frontal of MJF, thankfully it wasnt my first eyeball of a cockshot - because it was kinda small and sad...leanin' to the right, and circumcised. It might have turned me off the cockles for ever.

    good news is, it didn't even slow me down. ;)

    It came out in 85. But still.....

    Also, Doc didn't age at all. The Flux Capacitor must be code for Fountain of Youth.

    Or, it could just be a fucking movie;)

    I just want a car that can fly. The next motherfucker that honks at me on the bypass is getting his ass whipped.

    Yes, I am seeking counseling for my slight rage problem.
