WTF? Terminator: The TV show? - Scott Hajek - 01-16-2008
The whole time-travel paradox issue is something else to be wrestled with and there are too many ridiculous theories out there anyway.
I enjoyed the show for the fight scenes and gun play. But, there are too many plot holes that kill the storyline for me.
1. Terminator posing as high-school girl before John arrives. (credit this to Marc, I didn't think of it while I was watching)
2. Travel through time requires organics. All non-organic (non-living?) is abandoned. Didn't Reese in T1 go through naked? What happened to the clothes, guns, etc.? Why did Terminator head go through as did mangled Terminator body? Shouldn't exposure of endo-skeleton prohibit time travel?
3. What happened to all the time travel equipment left in bank vault? Was it destroyed? Did some survive and that's what allowed Skynet technology to be developed?
4. How does show fit in timeline with T3? Is T3 merely a dream?
I don't think this show will survive beyond the initial order. But, I'll watch each episode if only because I'm drawn to watching car-wrecks like this.

Skynet has relatively little information on Sarah and John Connor. Otherwise they probably would have tuned back to the 1800s and wiped out an ancestor.

I am looking forward to this because I love Christian Bale. Great new batman, amazing in 3:10 to yuma and now he's John Connor?
