Huh. So did decide to use the loophole in Terminator 2 to go ahead with another sequel. Is James Cameron and/or Linda Hamilton going to be involved in this venture?

I have to say that maybe I should just post the pics next time in the Officer's Lounge area for people to look at...

Yes, I win! I win I win I win! Thank you thank you thank you!
I'd like to thank the Academy for this prestigious honor, and in particular Michael_T for choosing me to be the one to come home with this darling trophy. You like me! You really really like me!

There's a trophy? Are you sure it's "darling"? Knowing Michael, it's probably a big brass penis, or something...

Then if it's a Big Brass Penis, I will proudly mount that Big Brass Penis on a pedastal that will show all who enter my room that I am the greatest!
Or, at the very least, it'll be a conversation starter and scare the hell out of the Resident Assistant when she does room inspections (maybe she won't notice the George Foreman Grill if she's staring at the Big Brass Penis).

What's the loophole in T2? The fact that Arnie leaves another arm behind, or the fact that in T1 they said clearly "they destroyed the time machine after I used it. No-one else can come back", and then, several years and a big budget boost later, two other people did come back?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well, actually, that time machine loop hole doesn't exist, since in the ORIGINAL script for T2, the beginning would have shown John Conner sending Reece (his father) back in time, and as soon as he left, he would find cryogenic freezer full of inactive Terminator units. Since the future remained unchanged immediatly after Reece left, it was assumed he failed and John Conner set to rewiring a Terminator unit so that it would obey John. Sometime between Reece being sent back and John reprogramming the Terminator, the T-1000 would have been sent back, and John would have sent his Terminator back.
There's also the possibility of TWO facilities with time travel capability...

A trophy? He gets an award. It's not a big brass penis...it's a lifetime supply of condoms and lubrication from Durex.

What the hell am I supposed to do with that, Michael?
