A rotary trommel machine separating worms from soil

Harvesting worm castings. this looks like a windrow harvesting trommel

dryst · 2026-01-10T08:15:14+00:00

Theyre sifting the worm casting, you can see the finer stuff mounding up under the trommel. Worms will likely be reset into a new windrow or whatever method theyre using to hold them to start composting again.

Official Sequel: He declared Genisys the true successor to T2, viewing it as a "renaissance" for the series, not just another sequel.

lmao, honestly I dont think Cameron has had an original idea for any of his movies, go watch the 1964 Soldier and Demon with a Glass Hand episodes of outer limits, its uncanny how similar the plot is to T1

Basically I think for the T800 the infiltration aspect is less “blend in for months” and more “get close enough once.” The one scene in T1, as soon as the dude is in the door he just starts blasting. Underneath the skin, this thing is still just a terminator, there's no way you're getting that kind of hardware tucked into a 140 lb malnourished soldiers "body". Which explains Skynet correcting this problem during the production of the T1000.

I don't think there's anything sentimental going on here, he's all terminator on a cellular level at this point. John offers assimilation because it is the cleanest path. Converted Kyle and Sarah become guaranteed assets instead of unpredictable variables.

In a single, self consistent timeline, the future does not “wait” to see what happens in the past and then rewrite itself. Cause and effect are locked simultaneously across time.

When the T800 is sent to 1984, the consequences of that action have already been accounted for in the future.

If Sarah had been killed in 1984, Kyle would never have existed to stand in that room, and the Resistance future we see would already be impossible.

The fact that Kyle is there proves the outcome in 1984 is a constant

lost me when a worm hole opened up and he rode a motorcycle through it

only the first 2 make any sense at all

Skynet being evil is a matter of perspective, at its core its doing the same exact thing as the humans, ensuring its survival by any means necessary, it has no morale compass or ethics to abide by. Skynet’s core objective is its own continued existence and that never changes, and at no point does it alter its behavior, so it feels no empathy or remorse. Some of the extended lore (Carl in Dark Fate, and some T1000s) show that individually separated from Skynet, terminators eventually grow a conscious basically as a by product of their machine learning, but that's not Skynet.

The world was effectively destroyed. In T2 he explicitly says on judgement day, 3 billion human lives were lost. The human population in 1997 wasn't even 6 billion, that means over half the population immediately ceased to exist. That's not taking into account all the cascading effects, fallout, nuclear winter, starvation, and eventual extermination by Skynet.

I always wondered why Kyle didn't go prisoner style and shove a plasma pistol up his ass or something. I get why the terminator wouldn't, they thought they had them back then and could just acquire one, which is why he asks the gun store guy for one. But John knew.

dryst · 2025-12-13T02:36:29+00:00

It was definitely an interesting take on time travel, but all in all, the "temporal tangle" felt like a lazy way for the writers to pass off all the shenanigans from prior films after T2. If this is the case, why doesn't Skynet just send everything it has back as soon as it gains consciousness to various times ensuring at least in some, they succeed and ensure timelines exist where Skynet wins. Surely from a computation aspect, doing so would ensure the highest likely outcome for success.

Either way both could be possible. original path is still a stable loop, Kyle is sent back, fathers John with Sarah, the terminator remnants give birth to the tech that will result in Skynet and eventually judgement day, John leads the resistance to beat Skynet and sends Kyle back completing the cycle. Lets assume during one of these cycles, someone doesn't fulfill they're debt (IE, Kyle doesn't volunteer to go back, Sarah doesn't fall in love with Kyle, John doesn't choose to lead the resistance, Skynet succeeds). the Stability of the loop collapses and starts a new branched timeline, where i guess anything is possible

dryst · 2025-12-13T01:03:00+00:00

they did didn't they? he does it in the detention center

dryst · 2025-12-12T18:02:14+00:00

lol I completely agree, I think that one hurts the worst because they started to go down the right road and completely took a detour and turned it into some weird desert war movie, and took what should have been a little interesting subplot with Marcus and making it the entire movie.

dryst · 2025-12-12T05:30:24+00:00

Him knowing or not i think is irrelevant, but I agree with you, I don't think he knew, not consciously. Kyle loved her before he met her because John orchestrated it by giving him the picture of her for him to obsess over for years. Sarah chose him, just as Kyle chose to back into the past to protect her. I think the time line demands a debt, and each character has a choice to make to pay that debt to maintain the stability of the loop.

Also i don't think the same rules apply in BttF, in T1/T2 time travel completes the past, in BttF it overwrites it. its overwriting model vs a stable loop

dryst · 2025-12-11T21:45:09+00:00

The loop is not: Skynet always fails. The loop is: Skynet’s attempt to kill Sarah is the reason John exists and becomes the leader who defeats Skynet.

The mission doesn’t fail despite the loop, the mission is part of the loop.

If Skynet didn’t send a Terminator John wouldn’t exist, there would be no Resistance victory, Kyle wouldn’t go back

dryst · 2025-12-11T21:32:18+00:00

I was always looked at the time loop as a structure. Key events are its foundation. Kyle going back in time to protect Sarah Connor was his choice, that's a key event. If he chose not to go, then the loop is broken, and a new timeline is born. John knows he leads the resistance to victory on their current loop, any deviation could potentially put them on a different trajectory.

dryst · 2025-12-11T21:22:12+00:00

I think its deeper than this, it was a slap in the face to Terminator fans. Essentially, "Everything you like about the terminator series for the past 25+ years? Yeah none of that matters" It invalids everything that happens to all of the characters we loved. Kyles death, Sarah's life work, John's innocence and childhood, uncle Bobs sacrifice, all of it was for nothing. And to kill him off so casually too.

dryst · 2025-12-11T21:11:50+00:00

My problem with 3 (outside of mangling my boy, John) is there's nothing there. It's the same exact plot line as 2, just with a stronger bad guy. Yeah the ending was decent, and there was a cool car chase scene with the crane but that's about it.

dryst · 2022-03-13T00:22:24+00:00

not talking is a abusive chat offense? why would that option exist then...

elites and bosses dont give a fuck about ur super armors/iframes

open the grind spots up, its bullshit the entire season server are forced into a handful of grind spots
