ahhh… I see what you’re saying now

I love when T3 lovers try to justify it, “oh, it’s TX for Experimental!” Um, since skynet is a machine and not a human, they would have called it a T-E if that was the case, not X, we are the only ones that would call Ex… X… and not to mention, the T1000 was an experimental model too. In the deleted scenes you will see where the T1000 starts to malfunction. Yet, did skynet name it the TX?? NO, it STILL was given a number designation. Because think about it, EVERY new model would, in theory, have an experimental or prototype model first, so how can they ALL be called TX??? Numbers make sense, they are the only way to make sense. James Cameron set the chain of events very practical, very gradual, and made the logic from a reality based logic.

The original timeline for Skynet taking over from James Cameron was that it was designed to fly commercial airliners automatically, but the military bought it and had it developed to fly military aircraft, so no soldiers are put in harm’s way and it eliminates human error. According to Cameron’s timeline, the skynet system operates smoothly for quite a while, their military aircraft fly with perfect records, and skynet keeps growing and learning. It’s not until skynet learns so much that it finally becomes self-aware, then the humans tried to kill it, tried to shut it down, and that’s when skynet fought back.

See, that’s so much more logical and realistic than some mysterious virus spreading that instead of just distributing new definitions for Kaspersky anti-virus, or mcaffee, norton, or whatever you use, they release an aritificial intelligence called “skynet” to “clean” everyone’s computer… And right off the bat, skynet is evil and decides to take over the world the second it goes online… … … um… are you going to say it or should I?

Ok, I’ll say it, THAT’S FREAKIN RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean seriously, I can’t fathom how anyone can watch this retarded chain of events and actually not break out in laughter, then tears when they realize it wasn’t a joke… Seriously…

Listening to Arnold dish out the chain of events of Skynet from T2, it was chilling because you can actually imagine that it could be happening right now. It seems every 5 years, another component of our military vehicles and equipment is automated by some crazy computer system that performs the same thing with pinpoint precision 1000 times faster. While he’s talking I am imagining F117′s or other military aircraft flying and dropping munitions without a pilot to be found. And then skynet doesn’t actually nuke the world, they actually nuke Russia, another very realistic and clever thing to be done, and the reasoning is perfect too, skynet knew Russia will retaliate, spiraling the world into nuclear war. So in essence, skynet only needed to launch one nuclear weapon then sit back and let us destroy ourselves. Brilliant.

T3 explanation… not so brilliant… not so smart even… heck, downright retarded…

I just watched T3 again this weekend and it was terrible.

I think the ‘X’ in TX is not a 10, I think they just called it that to make that model/prototype sound newer and scarier. Everything about the character was awful, even down to the blue-lighted exoskeleton

There was nothing redeeming in this movie for me – every scene was trying to re-do cool scenes from T2 but none of them make sense and everyone acts in a nonsensical way. It’s like Pirates 2 compared to the first Pirates of the Caribbean

Aliens is probably my 2nd favorite movie of all time, and that just happened to be directed by James Cameron as well. True Lies is also top 10, probably top 5, and that’s also Cameron… I doubt it’s a coincidence, I just love his work.

Ive recently read that Terminator Salvations story will follow on from T3 storyline you can read it hear but be aware there are some spoilers -

I just dont think its the best idea to follow the T3 story dosent warner brothers realise how bad T3 was. Now im getting worried!!!

And that car chase scene lasted like 20 minutes. It was a time filler. The fact is, the chase didn’t change or advance the plot of the movie at all. They could have excluded it and nothing in the plot would have changed. And to top it all off, the whole concept of the cars driving themselves don’t make any sense at all. Power steering and cruise control doesn’t mean the car can drive and steer themselves…

And what kind of paper machet were those buildings made out of that a truck can drive a boom right through it without slowing down or flipping the truck over, or at least break the boom…

I can go on and on, but maybe you would prefer that I don’t, lol.

Dean is correct, technically it was OVER at the end of T2. But the idiots behind T3 had to find a way to bring it back so they can get some quick bucks. Ok, so they might not be idiots since they made money, but whatever. If only James Cameron had used the original ending where they show the future with an old Sarah Connor making a voice recording, all the mess that was T3 could have been avoided. But then again, if this movie rocks, then we wouldn’t have seen this either. So let’s wait and see if Cameron’s decision to change the ending of T2 is a good or bad thing…

And Rob, I agree with you about T3′s villain 100%. The T1000 is FAR superior to the T-10 (X is roman numeral for 10, since we all know skynet uses numbers to name the models not letters. I doubt skynet bought into gimmicky letters, what next, the T-X-13-Type R??). The ONLY reason why they defeated the T-1000 was because of pure dumb luck that they crashed in a metal refinery. Think about it, the T-10 in T3 was actually damaged by being slammed into a tree. Even the T-800 couldn’t be damaged that way, and the T-1000 definitely couldn’t be damaged that way. The T-10 can be destroyed by that explosion, the T-1000 would have walked away from it.

Basically, there’s nothing the T-10 could survive that the T-1000 can’t, but the T-1000 can survive many things the T-10 can’t. So using your deductive reasoning skill, you realize that the T-1000 is, IN FACT, superior to T3′s T-10.

And sorry SK47, the acting in T3 did suck. Nick Stahl made John Connor look like he had no balls. I mean, seriously, Kate saved John’s life more times than Arnold did in T2… It looked like all John Connor knew how to do in that movie was fall down screaming like a little girl. No wonder Sarah Connor died in that storyline, she realized what kind of little wimp her son turned out to be, so she died of disappointment…
