I think for a lot of us, the series came to end with the second or third one. I don't understand where all these 'good' reviews of the Sarah Conner Chronicles came from, after seeing the first couple of episodes, it was defiantly some of the most boring television I've seen in a while.

Salvation wasn't too bad...but I regret paying for it for some reason.

Terminator has definitely been overdone. Time for a new sci-fi genre. Cameron's starting over with Avatar, and that looks interesting, at least.

With the rights being sold does that mean Christian Bale would no longer have to play John Connor or is he still under contract? Just curious.

I don't think we'll know that unless he says he's done with it. The company that's possibly going to sell off the rights may not be the one he signed the contract with.

Same here. For three movies we were told about how great a man John Connor was, and we could tell through Kyle Reese that all of them were ready to fight and die for him, and now we're getting to see that John Connor. Someone buy the rights and finish the last 2 movies.

I think maybe they should just end Terminator films for good. The ending of Terminator Salvation wasn't bad & I felt it should end from there.

I think they should make the last 2 movies and thats it. No more. I wanna see more night fights like the first three movies showed. Didnt like the day fights in the 4th. Looks better when theres the lazer fighting at night.

The franchise ended at T2...ever wonder why Cameron NEVER pursued T3& T4? If you look closely at T2...the concept of free will and hope were logically explained in that movie...I NEVER have watched T3& T4 based on that. I also find it ironic that no one complained about Bale's personality UNTIL T4...ever wonder why? Bale signed a contract to a bad movie and reacted as such, period. Moon and D9 proved that fresh ideas stemming from sci-fi do exist.

Cameron DID plan Terminator 3, but with all the studio BS going on he gave up and sold the rights.

T2, while a GREAT movie, f-ed up the entire Terminator saga and forced T3, T4, and so forth because if Kyle doesnt go back in time then there will never be a John Connor. Judgment Day MUST happen, and you dont need to see T3 to know that. It's a loop.

I do not see how T2 messed up the franchise, because in the first one, Kyle himself said "the future is not set" I interpret it the same way...the future is NOT concrete...tomorrow is promised to no one...the future is "a possibility" meaning that if current events hold at the present, a possible future willl occur. T2 upheld the concept of a "possible" future...To put it simply...If John's role in Judgement Day was CERTAIN...why was there a need to send two terminators to kill him? It's an impossible paradox...Given what you said that Cameron tried to make a T3, apparently even he didn't see that fatal flaw. What made T2 brilliant was Arnold's sacrifice. His sacrifice should have prevented the war...further sequels made made that sacrifice meaningless, therefore making the concept of free will meaningless.

It is a time loop and predestination paradox because John can ONLY exist when Kyle goes back in time. There never was another father other than Kyle Reese. Sarah even acknowledged that fact at the end of the first film saying "If Kyle doesnt come back you could never be born."

SkyNet was created due to the events of sending the Terminator back to 1984. Without that event then there would be no SkyNet, no Judgment Day, no time travel and no Kyle Reese to father John Connor. It's an endless loop.

It's not free will because it always happened that way. It was predestined to happen that way, and always will continue to be so.
