The Appetizer this week is
“Major Airlines”
So Heather and I booked a flight for a Wednesday and plans changed so now we need to rebook for the same flight/time just on the next day/Thursday. If I can order pizza, hookers, blow, and this crap
from Sissy in Pinellas Park, with a few clicks of a mouse and an internets connection. Don’t tell me it cost $130 to change a flight with no fare difference.
The Main Course this week brought to you by Bungalow Bistro is
“The Terminator - Screenwriters”
(Spoiler Alerts, If you are one of the 3 people who haven’t seen the films in this series)
So I wasn’t feeling good yesterday. So I decided to pop in the screener I obtained of Terminator: Salvation. Decent movie, good action sequences, Christian Bale has a lisp, and Bryce Dallas Howard has a famous dad and not much else going for her. But there is another thing that bothers me to no end.
So in Terminator, 45 year old John Connor is the Leader of The Resistance. The Machines/Skynet can’t kill him. So they figure out time travel and send back a T-800 101, to kill John’s mom Sarah. John finds out, and sends back his trusted Lieutenant, Kyle Reese to protect his Mother and thus preserve his life.
However the problem I have is this, when Kyle Reese goes back in time to 1984, he finds a non pregnant Sarah. They bone and thus John Connor is conceived. How can this happen? How can John Connor send back his Dad to both protect him AND create him (by boning his mom)??

The weird part that should really blow your mind is, Kyle dies when he is fighting the Terminator in the original. If Kyle is in fact John Connor's dad, because he and Sarah do it in the hotel after breaking out of jail, and dies in the past (1984), how can he be fighting along side John in 2029?
I mean sure, he would still be John's dad because the seed was already planted so to speak, but if he dies in 1984, how can he be fighting again in 2029?
Circles man, Circles.
That makes sense to me... since he was born in say... 2001... sent back in time in 2029... did some sexing and dies. So his life never really overlaps like John's bloodline does.
the only thing we know is that Kyle was born after the nuclear incident.....
Grifter, your time travel logic is flawed.
2029 Kyle can definitely go back to 1984 and die. He just would also die in 2029, no different than if he choked on a chicken bone one night during a 2029 dinner.
I've found this to be one of the weirdest conversations ever, but then again, I've actually only seen the 2nd movie.
NERDS!!!!
This is an age old question:
Which came first the shitty plot or the shitty acting?
