EVILFACE
Insufferable S.O.B.
Any sequels after T2 just ruin that film's ending. 'Judgment Day is inevitable'...so there was no need for Uncle Bob to get melted down then? He could have just stuck around and they could have tried repairing him - if Skynet was going to happen regardless why not keep him around? Nope, he went into the molten steel because he (and James Cameron) believed that doing so would put the final nail in Skynet's coffin. End of the story. That didn't necessarily have to preclude telling the future war story however - a prequel set in the future that would lead in to T1 and T2. It's the only thing that makes sense post-T2. But of course, no, we can't have that.
Or it turns out they were wrong.
A terminator has to be sent back in time and a there has to be a reason to send it back.
Paradox.....
