Not sure how that's a bad thing, as it allowed the story to move forward isntead of spinning around in the same loop. We've had enough Terminator stories about the humans and the machines trying to abort future events. If the future could be aborted, it would have happened already. Enough of that, I say--of course, now we have a TV series delivering weekly episodes about that very theme.Apparently, some folks think that the notion of inevitability runs contrary to the themes in the preivous movies. Personally, it always seemed like the possiblity of changing the future was portrayed as iffy at best. In Terminator, Sarah Conner winds up impregnated with John by the guy who comes to save her. In T2, we find out that the terminator's head provided the components that would actually lead to the creation of Skynet. Two examples right there of the future being the direct result of attempts to change it. and then at the end you have that ominous ending with the storm coming.The ending of T3 was probably the only thing about it I liked. The last thing I wanted to see was them perpetuating the cycle of J-Day postponement.</blockquote>
