Oh shit! Like, literally, "Lady Terminator!" I was in when I read that same first sentence.

lol Just Watch suggests, in order: Terminator, Terminator: Dark Fate, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Terminator Genisys, Terminator Salvation, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Lady Bird. It would be so awesome to program a Terminator series in that exact order with those exact films. You know, the *true* chronology, for the *real* fans.

Oh double shit, I tried watching the trailer for Lady Terminator, and this is what I got: "This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated."

Don't spoil yrself with the trailer (which rehashes way too many quality moments). Just jump right in. It's somehow both LOL terrible and a pretty decent action movie (and the eye-removal scene features better SFX than the one in OG Terminator!).

Based on the landing strip set piece at the end, I'd be very surprised if someone involved with MacGruber hadn't seen and been inspired by this film.

six months pass...

We've been watching all 6 in order over the past few weeks. Despite loving 1 & 2 I had no idea there were actually this many sequels until recently. I think I enjoyed Dark Fate way more than it deserved because of how much we all really needed the og Sarah Connor as a lead - it was really refreshing and invigorating. And kind of funny! If not really having anything novel. Actually the idea of what Arnie would do after objective achieved was kind of interesting. They treated it as a bit of a handwave but an unexpected little idea. What I found odd was that the New Improved Terminator had the trick of splitting body from skeleton but they didn't really outline why/what the limitations were, which usually happens in these kind of films.

3 or 4 were the most boring. 4 was like a good showcase of killy machines but then you start wondering why a super AI killy machine system would bother making a motorbike version and sort of lost interest. 5 was kind of funny but too much of a lightweight reaction to the previous one and I couldn't get my head around the casting for the whole movie. John Connor was like Quentin Tarantino crossed with Chandler Bing.

The one with HBC as a computer head is the only one I try to forget.

Just started watching it, certainly a bold choice to cast Will Young as Kyle Reese.

Halfway through this - I have to watch films episodically at the moment. I wasn't expecting Terminator: The Sitcom but I'm all for it. The mild humour and timey wimey stuff was making me think of Doctor Who... and then Matt Smith showed up! Incredible.

do you have a baby or something? :)

Small children, yes. And a wife who doesn't want to waste her precious free time watching garbage SF.

There is a T5 thread, I'll save any further incisive commentary for there.
