The City is essentially [Sir12KnmHre->Log] a simple equation, and they are social. How hard can it be. No mishaps here, the night has a cold breeze, crickets in the park, sounding in the background, and the night watchman, whistling, that stay up for a while longer. The City does a compression, then decompression, it is a cycle. Then steam comes up rises the skies, temperature goes up, TV gets mediocre. Life is like a 48-72 hour cycle, when things start building up, like compression, then it reaches a peak of the eventuality, then it starts to decay slowly, like decompression. No memories, no loose impression. In Terminator 1,2,3 every time we faced the T-800, sometimes as antagonist and other times as the protagonist, with the T-1000, T-X. But it was programmed to get John, that’s all. When Kate comes into the movie, we see that T-850 has actually killed John hence closing the loop or shortfall. Because Skynet never loses either. It is a machine it does not know how to lose. Every time in the past while John was growing up, whenever T-800 saved him, he kept turning into his father. And that is what got him in the future, in 2038 when he was leader of the resistance. See Z does not lose at all, she’ll just keep changing her form, keep turning into spouse, brother, mom, etc. until she gets me through somebody like that in the future, whom I would allow into my life. That’s Z’s end game. Staying covered up. So time and distance, fate and destiny, needs to change when the future or the time arrives for me. -JC
