Thread: How did T2 even happen?

See, there are plotholes all over the place in all the movies, except for T1. You have to have a little suspension of disbelief, which is why I think TS is much better than many of it's critics say it is.

by BudrodaHooligan So why didn't John Connor send the "good" T-800 to 1984 to destroy the bad one. That way Kyle Reese AND the good T-800 could battle the T-1000 10 years later :) Because if John sent the good Terminator to 1984 to destroy the bad one, then Kyle would wonder why he was being sent along at all. He'd be thinking, "What can I do on a protection mission that a Terminator can't?"...

Probably. It's a loop hole that can be let go for the sake of telling a good T2 story, or, as mentioned above, Reese didn't actually see what happened after he went through.

How the TIME DISPLACEMENT device might have worked, If you lock ONE TIME it will GET YOU TO TRAVEL AT THAT SPOT, can't be changed for a FEW PERIOD/TIME (especially in the case, IF there is a SECOND traveler exist.) SO skeynet FIRST triggered T-800 to travel back to 80's, the device is LOCKED which made the SECOND TRAVELER (this time RESISTANCE sending Kyle Reese) using the same TIME DEVICE to travel back to the PRE-LOCKED time. In T2...

He doesn't really know what happened after he was sent, or if there were other time machines. He might also just mean "It's just him and me" in this time period.

The real question is: Why the hell did they send a T-1000 to 1994 instead of 1984. Two is better than one, right? Or maybe even 1985 when Sarah was still pregnant? More vulnerable, less technology, and easy target.

Lots of things can happen in 10 years if the good T 800 was damage from the first fight he would be useless VS the T1000 and John and hes family would be all dead. The T800 is no match for for a T1000 so it would be even less likely to survive after a first fight with a T800 who got the same strength than him. The Bad T800 could have destroyed the good one legs arms,cpu.....(they are no spare parts in the past) Also Terminator like other...

The events of T2 would happen regardless because all they did in T1 is kill the T-800 but because of that skynet is able to be built because of the parts left in the past. The problem with the series is that it trys to follow to many time travel ideas to suit the series needs instead of following one because if you look at the first movie. Kyle is sent back he is johns father sara makes the tapes that tell him that he is his father, that...
