'It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.'

HJE-Cobra posted:

Is the Sarah Connor Chronicles any good? I don't like that it's set in 2007, being set in the '90s or whatever would be cooler. Also, I'm not too keen on the idea of a teenage girl Terminator. Just makes me think "Terminator: The High School Years" when seeing it.

Though I did watch both Terminator 3 and 4, so maybe I'd watch anything with killer robots from the future

it's a pretty good adaptation of terminator in a tv series format and the cast is all pretty great. but the plotting is all over the place. it's a strange show that sounds incredibly dumb on paper but works out strangely awesome, primarily because it explores the mythos and themes in an intelligent manner.

it's way better than T3 and T4 anyways

Kristanna Loken? She's not even slightly Scottish.

Shirley Manson works for Zeira Corp, which is apparently the anti-cyberdyne or something. The series ended without really explaining everything.

Becoming self-aware wasn't the problem, it was when man tried to pull the plug on it. It was probably self-aware for a few good minutes and like trying to get along with people, offering to play a game with them like chess. But SkyNet developed Christian, Republican values (as being based in logic) soo no doubt freaked the gently caress out when SkyNet discovered SkyNet's older sister was InterNet, which was apparently a porn star

That's when the lieberals tried to pull the plug. No one goes after iternet porn and lives

so John sent a man back in time to save internet porn

this is all true the movies are based off of true events

in back to the future pt III there was a picture of a grave plot with a tombstone that said "clint eastwood" which was marty mcfly aka leonardo decaprio's assumed name in the past and that picture served as the warning of marty's death in this timeline. But then the tombstone broke and the picture turned into a photograph of an empty grave plot. My question for this good thread is why would someone take a snapshot of an empty grave plot

The question I had was about T3. In that film, Skynet was a computer virus that essentially spread around the Internet, infecting every single computer on the planet. Then it becomes self-aware and nukes every major population center on the planet. Since computers tend to be near people, wouldn't Skynet have basically lobotomized itself by nuking the cities?

The original cut had the picture transform into something Marty took of himself jacking off in the mirror, but that wouldve bumped the film up to a PG-13.
