The Terminator: Lost In Time

[Itchybitz]

Imagine, if you will, it is the year of Darkness 2029 and the machines are about to send the T-800 back to 1984.

But they, inadvertently, key in a two instead of an eight and send the metal assassin back to the roaring twenties. Now he is forced to wait sixty years to complete his mission. But in the meantime....

Might have known he'd joined these guys.

........ just hanging out in the 1950's.

Feel free to add your own versions of Arnie lost in time

[PapitoMX]

Thanks man, and yeah way too skinny, lol.
They are, in fact, three different bodies though. In order; BBi 3.50, DML & Hot Toys.

Hmmm, that gives me an idea.
Thanks

oh, I thought it was just the sideshow one.

70's porno terminator? complete with mustache?

IF he makes it to the 70's he would be an extra in Conan The Barbarian

I've always kinda wondered that: If the Terminator completes its mission, thus terminating the target, what does he then do?? Wait until the war? Walk the earth like Cain in Kung Fu??? Always a plot hole (sorta) thats always intrigued me.

The 70's are a confusing time for the T-800

I think all the what ifs and plot holes of Terminator are what makes it so much fun.
Like at the end of the first film, if they only succeed in beating the T-800 because Reece follows it back through time then without the machines technology how did Reece get back there and if Reece couldn't get back how could John get born?

I mean, really, the T-800's mission should have been simple. The machines had no idea the resistance would be able to send an agent back, it should've been an easy task to eliminate an unsuspecting waitress. Of course, it might have gone better if they had created an android to blend in to 20th century USA a bit better, like giving him an American accent, lol.

I wonder if after killing Sarah Connor he had a new mission; to expedite the rise of the machines. All he would have to do is turn him self over to the Cyberdyne Systems Corporation and they'd have done the rest. Look what they did with just his arm!

I'm a really big fan of the TV show, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and on one of the episodes they had a Terminator that did accidentally get sent back to the twenties and had to wait decades to complete his mission. In this case he becomes the architect of the building he is supposed to assassinate his target in and has him self concealed in a secret room for fifty years. This was my inspiration for this thread

The Terminator being sent back created a alternate timeline. If it killed Sarah, there would have been no reason to send it back in the first place.

Which is a paradox.
But all science fiction about time travel has it's own set of rules and in the Terminator universe you can change the course of events over and over again.

I love how the events of each film and the TV show will continually change the origins of the machines and yet somehow or another they still manage to get created

Good thread

 

[Itchybitz]

Good thread

Thanks man

 

[Itchybitz]

In an alternate reality, having completed his mission to eliminate Sarah Connor, the T-800. having little else to do, takes a job working as a henchman for criminal mastermind Hans Gruber...

Not only that but they always end up looking the same too.

Its all a bit silly really. If a time incursion just creates an alternate timeline that has no effect on the reality you experience then really why bother at all? Unless you don't know thats how it works.

Or if it does change your reality and changes to the past can be made limitlessly no matter what happens, even when the time displacement equipment is destroyed, then where does any of it end. It just gets ridiculous.

 

[Shropt]

I think it was the book Timeline that did it best. They said that they never truly went back in time but instead went to an alternate reality that just happened to be exactly the same but 100s of years ago.

That's the way I'd like to believe that we will time travel if we ever figure it out.

Hehe, 1950's Terminator

 

[a-dev]

The Sarah connor chronicles did this in one episode. Can't recall what decade a Terminator was accidentally sent back to but I think it was the 50s....or was it nineteen ninety nine?! Huey Lewis.
