I'm just thinking, was there a better strategy the T-800 (or T-1000) should have taken to terminate its targets that it could have known?

Reasonably they should be making optimal moves to their knowledge, I would assume.

I guess both of them should have focused on eliminating Kyle or the T-800 earlier, but it's a bit unclear.

Whenever the next show or movie comes out, I hope they make Terminators lethal again.

I have an idea. What if skynet made animal terminators that look like cats or dogs and earn the humans trust, then kill them?

Once the humans start to realize that they're out there, they'll lose trust in animals. Then it would be easier for skynet to kill people.

If James Cameron makes another terminator movie, I feel like he should try this idea. I would like to see how it's executed.

Edit: maybe they could not bark or hiss at the terminators so that they would kill the people, or vice versa. Maybe kill off animals in the area so the only animals around or the terminators. Or maybe be mini t-1000s running around and take the form of different animals once they've harmed a group of humans so no one would recognize them.

But then again, if skynet did that, humans would have been gone long ago.

Let me explain. Im scared of motor cops because I have this fear that they will be the t-1000. I don't know why. I don't even live in LA. Please help

In the original film, the Terminator goes into the gun shop and selects what appear to be the most advanced guns available at the time. There's a good list on the Internet Movie Firearms Database here:

https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/The_Terminator_(1984)

He gets a 45 AMT Hardballer Longslide, a Smith and Wesson Model 15 (38 Special), an Uzi 9mm, a SPAS 12 shotgun, and an Armalite AR-18.

If any of you are like me, you've looked into buying these guns for yourself, only to find that the only one still in production is the Smith and Wesson revolver. You can find used versions sometimes, but they're all really expensive for what they are. Also the 45 Longslide was notoriously prone to jamming and getting cracks in the slide, the SPAS 12 shoulder stock was supposedly uncomfortable as hell, and there's really nothing the AR-18 does better than the AR-15 (it was a knockoff of their own earlier design, since they had sold the rights to Colt).

So, if the Terminator went into a reasonably well-stocked gun store today, what 5 guns would he pick? I'm curious to see your answers.

That's It. There's nothing new to say I'm sure. But to come on to a sequel of a super successful movie as basically an unknown and not have many lines and you make the role that iconic. And the noted physicality and athleticism he brought to the role that we all remember as not a super big guy and the whole time he had freaking Mr. Universe on the set next to him. I'm sure there are many of us who still have nightmares about the aryan terminator running after us who you literally empty magazines into just with the hope of slowing him down a little.

Assuming T-800/1000 were around longer, and considering, say, Cameron – what functions do you think infiltrators have or not, specifically?
For example, do you think, does their hair grow, but only on the head, because leg and facial hair growth is less conspicuous and can be "cut" to preserve energy; or maybe their nails also don't grow, similarly? Do their lips chap? Do their fallen lashes replace? If their skin is self-healing, does that mean, there are blood platelets to scab injuries? Do they get goosebumps?

I also wonder just how, if infiltrators can/do eat, the contents of what is eaten are processed. I know some goes to energy. But the rest of it... I mean... it has to be expelled somehow, no?

Curious of your thoughts.

I was just thinking about how extreme Sarah Connor's life had changed in the first ten years of the timeline and then it dawned on me that Miles Dyson had it worse. He had everything; a fantastic job, a Pepsi drinking sidekick intern, lovely house, loving wife and kids and then in one night he learns the truth, takes a stand and sadly loses his life in the process. Kudos to Joe Morton for his fantastic performance.
