Yeah, but that’s still pre-judgement day. TSCC was a wonderful show and I loved it, but I’ve had enough pre-judgement day terminator material.

I want to see the future war. Either early future war (2005-2020) or the closing days of the war 2028-2029).I want to see Humanity’s War with SkyNet. I want to see the violent struggle between Conner and the machines. I want to see the machines rearm, field new technology, and grow more powerful in the face of a desperate last stand human resistance that is barely struggling to stay alive. I want to see the machines themselves grow more and more desperate, genocidal, and destructive as Conner’s leadership grows from a thorn in SkyNet’s side to a threat that is posed to exterminate the machines, to ultimately a fighting force that puts Skynet in a desperate defense before being ultimately overrun and destroyed as Conner leads the final offensive against its brain in the Cheyenne Mountain NORAD base.

That’s what I want to see.

I don’t want to see Arnold or Sarah Conner for the 15th time running around trying to prevent Judgement Day and surviving against time traveling assassins.

Terminator Salvation.

It did not deserve the hate it got, and could have a been a great reboot for the series.

I thought they pulled off the “early future war” aspect pretty well. Conner is still young and not the brilliant general as he would be in 2029, the machines are still recovering from the nuclear exchange so their reach and power is limited as compared to the lines of tanks we see in the opening of T2, and the technology, feel, and atmosphere feels realistic and fresh.

I wanted to see more in the universe, but people whined that it wasn’t a masterpiece like T2, and there was no Arnold, so instead we got the flaming dogshit that was Genysis and whatever the newest one is called.
