yes, there is so much time travel, it simply does not make sense anymore, why not kill sarah connors mother? that'd solve alot. or time travel to the future so, if man won and they think they are save, kill 'm there?

its getting to the point that if they killed sarah conner skynet wouldn't exist and the universe would explode in a time paradox

skynet doesn'exist because of sarah, sarah exists for skynet

Wasn't the second movie about the little chip inside the terminators skull bringing the date of the Judgement Day earlier?

t4's tagline "This isn't the war my mother tolds me about"
t3's tagline "We were never ment to stop skynet, only save John Connor"

It's all about Fate.

Skynet exists because of Arnie in T1. They need to send him back to that specific time. Tech-Com's smartest move could very well be to send someone else back then to help Kyle and Sarah destroy the T-800 somewhere that isn't the labs for Cyberdyne Systems.

skynet isn't a machine or a location, it's software (like Turk)

and the next gen turk wouldn't exist with out sarah.PARADOX!!!!

Yes. Software developed by reverse-engineering the CPU of the original terminator from the first film. Which was done by Cyberdyne Systems.

Imagine him with a shotgun, blood and scrap metal.

So, when Cyberdyne blew up, who continued it's work then?skynet was far from close to anything in 1991, Todays homecomputer would run circles around anything Cyberdyne could have built back then.

It can be claimed that the terminators sent back have driven the connors te destroy inferior attempts at the AI.

The Skynet present in T3 and Sarah Connor isn't the same one from T1 and T2. Skynet's a really common name (there's quite a few real-life Skynets, actually) and in T3, the US military had created their own AI under the same name, which wasn't the AI created between T1 and T2.

God damn Brits...

Did you guys ever watch Journey man? that is before the writers strike.....stupid writers strike. Sarah Connor gets a 7 out of 10 because they could have chosen a better John Connor, Burn Notice is pretty cool, and best of all

MAN VS. WILD

Anyone's better than that God-damn wanker Edward Furlong. He just pisses me right the feck off. In fact, I bloody cheered when he got shot in the face in "American History X". It made my day.

Oh, yeah, spoiler alert.

Why is it that when this "Wales" references to someone as "paki" to a guy once, the whole kingdom is in uproar because of racism, yet on little Britain it's considered a humorous adventure?

Probably cos no one in Britain actually watches it, we all know it's utter ****.

There are only two programs from the UK that I've ever watched and SORT OF liked, and that's Coupling and Friday Night Project.

And I had to be roped into watching Coupling by a paramour, too.

British TV is .

Computer says you suck ...
Actually i've never watched Little Britain either, some how I just pick up tv show references. I'm like a living tv antenna.
P.S. Third showing of Dexter S3E1 is now on, I should go watch it again.

I actully rather liked coupling... but dotn anybody tell anybody that...

Anyway... The British are about the only race that can make sitcoms that dont completly suck. Dont get me wrong, we make our fair share of fecking aweful ones too (only fools and horses anybody?) but there some actully good ones too (Spaced, Black Books, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, the list goes on).

As for drama...

Well we used to be good, especilly scifi drama. These days? Well the BBC bigs it's self up a lot, but that only serves to make the shows fall flatter on their faces (Im sorry, but Torchwood has gotten worse with each season, nay each episode, and Doctor Who has also goten worse by the season (although the new guy might still save that)), ITV..? Chavtastic. Only decent show on there is Primeval, and the second season of that was clearly cheapened to the point of breaking.

Channel 4 is our only real saving grace for drama, Shameless is an excelent example of what they're all about. Unfortunetly, any network who made Carol Vordamen famous, and gave the world Countdown, already needs to meet an early end, so they lose too.

Ahh well, at least we didnt create Friends...

I grew up on British comedy (in particular The Goodies & The Young Ones with Blackadder, Mr Bean & Red Dwarf in my later years) plus Dr Who. So i've always kept an eye out on British tv.

Comedy wise Australia use to make some good comedies, unfortunately in recent years our "comedy" has been influenced less by British comedy and more by American comedy. Suffice to say, I just don't find that **** funny.

Recent British stuff i've enjoyed ...

- Life on Mars - Great concept, great characters. How can a person NOT respect Gene Hunt? Sure, he's a chauvenistic pig with an anger management and alcohol problem, but he gets the bloody job done!

- Jekyll - I loved the modern day twist on the Jekyll & Hyde story. Then again, it was also written by my favourite Dr Who scribe Stephen Moffett so i'm probably biased.

- Ashes to Ashes - Not as good as it's predecessor Life on Mars, still great to see Gene and the boys back but goddamn is she annoying.

- Skins - The characters were believable and the stories were well written.

- Doctor Who - No secret there.

- Torchwood - Didn't like the first season, second season was a major improvement.

- The Sarah Jane Adventures - Another DW spin-off clearly aimed at kids but damn if it's not a fun enjoyable show!

And to a lesser extent ...

- Primeval - I know Red loved this show, but i'm of mixed feelings about it. It had potential, but somewhere along the line it went iffy.

Red - You're not watching that "Demons" show are you? I bagged the first ep over the weekend because the concept of "the last of the Van Helsing line" seemed interesting, plus it stars Phillip Gleistener (or however you spell it, let's just call him Gene Hunt) and it has potential.

Scary thing about it, I had no idea which channel made it but it had that whole Primeval/ITV feel ... and what a suprise with the credits, ITV.

Here in the states there's HUGE level of hypocrisy as well. Its ok for black people to have BET(Black Entertainment Television), but if you have a channel marketed to strictly white people, its considered racist. Has anyone ever watched a black comedian? Its nonstop white hate jokes. Rare is there a change in routine, Katt Williams is pretty awesome though. But if a white comedian says one bad thing about a black person, everyone's ready to kill him. WTF!?

Then there's always WE, Oxygen, and Lifetime, channels for women. Lifetime also has a bunch of other channels like Lifetime Movies and such. Most of the movies on Lifetime make men out to be monsters and evil pigs. But the second a man says a negative thing about a woman in a movie and/or tv show, the entire movie/show gets ripped apart. Also, I remember when Spike TV was first going to debut. They called them selves the channel for men. Almost all the programming is aimed at men. There are women who think its wrong and sexist to have a channel targeted towards men, but its ok to have WE, Oxygen, and Lifetime for women?

Honestly, no one wants equal rights, they want to be treated better then everyone else.
