About the time travel contradictions though. The one that really irks me is that if Skynet kill Kyle, he wouldn’t have gone back to protect Sarah and the Arnie’s arm would not have ended up in Cyberdine’s possession… ie. Skynet would not exist. I know there’s ways of getting around this (eg. Skynet could send back a machine to give Cyberdine the technology) but they aren’t explained in the film. Probably for good reason, I suppose; it would bog things down a bit. Ok, forget I said anything.

All in all, T4 was pretty good and definitely a lot better than I expected.

Cheers!

To which I would add the other famous quote from Reese:

>
Listen and understand.
That Terminator is out there.
It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with.
It doesn’t feel pity or remorse or fear
and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

…

Shut up!
You still don’t get it, do you?
He’ll find her. That’s what he does. That’s all he does.
You can’t stop him. He’ll reach down her throat and pull her fucking heart out!

Connor would never go to Skynet because he would know that Skynet, in it’s ruthlessness, would have killed Kyle already. _Connor_ would have no reason to think otherwise. Particularly as he has reason to believe Skynet is aware of Reese’ identity.

The very act of capturing Kyle Reese ensures that Skynet’s ‘grand master plan’ will never work.
