sure and a t-1000 can not exist in any realistic world. in a movie explanation, arnie's skin not rotting and falling off can be explained as the programming masking as a biological system using electrical pulses to keep the skin cells from dying. also remember t-800 has a life expectancy of like 180 years or something crazy. arnie might have come back a long ass time ago.

I disagree. I don't believe there's anything in science and engineering that says a T1000-like machine couldn't exist.

Also, I believe in T2, when Arnold got shot up, Sarah asked him if the wounds would heal. Pretty sure he said yes. Which suggests the biological layer cells do die and regeneration.

i meant the skin falling off. i think the t-800 has an advanced enough computer to send signals to the skin layer and keep it regenerating. as to the t-1000. i dunno what engineering has to do with a liquid power source and computing power turning an alien metal into solid to liquid to solid and adapting to environments. the t-800 is within the realms of possibility. t-1000, never happened, just like traveling BACKWARD into time.

The t-1000 isn't liquid, but millions and millions of microscopic nano-bots. Hence liquid metal.

The Terminator universe was finished after T2: Judgement Day.

Nothing else will ever beat T2.

Nanomachines in a spaceage alloy, ala a ferrofluid makes the most sense. but more magic.
Ferrofluid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

just grey goo/nanomachines doesn't really explain how it can become crystalline/solid/tempered. nanamachines suspended in a mass of liquid metal that it can shape into any shape, makes more sense. how it can replicate skin/hair, etc? yeah. no good answer for that. magic.

I pulled this from the Terminator Wikia:

"It's also never really explained how T-1000 is able to move, think, see and talk when made out of mimetic polyalloy. The most likely explanation would be that it includes nano-robots, nanites, that communicate remotely, and are capable to move the polyalloy through magnetic impulses."

It's pretty much agreed upon within the Terminator geek ring. You can Google how a t-1000 works and find a lot of write ups that say the same thing.

@Chuck

The answer was in the first paragraph in your link above:

"Created by the series' long-running antagonist, Skynet, the T-1000 is described in Terminator 2 as being composed of a mimetic poly-alloy, whose body is composed of liquid metal that allows it to assume the form of other objects (commonly knives and stabbing weapons) or people, typically terminated victims.[1] Therefore, it is portrayed by multiple actors in the film. It is further explained in the prologue of the film's novelization, that the T-1000 was created through nanotechnology, and is a 'Nanomorph', able to scan the molecular structure of whatever it is touching and visually mimic it"

That's not how biology works. The skin cells would die off, but because its not connected to any kind of biological system, it wouldn't be able to replace those cells. So, his skin would eventually just rot and fall off. So... Terminator plus walking dead? NEW MOVIE FRANCHISE!!

What the hell are you talking about? In T2 when he cut off his arm skin there was blood. Without some sort of mechanism to supply the skin cells with oxygen and nutrients he would begin smelling like a corpse within a day or two. The skin cells could divide which would allow the skin to heal after an injury. However, DNA has a built in mechanism to age cells, and is a large part of the reason we get old in the first place. So old Arnie makes complete sense in terms of biology.

So, really what we're seem to be getting is T2 again with a meathead Reese replacing squeaky voiced teen Conner. It's logical enough, after x iterations of time travel creating numerous possible futures and.. well, Doc Brown is going to need a bigger chalk board.

I've always assumed that the original, pre T1 timeline the humans win but everything gets fucked up because Kyle Reese sticks his dick in Sarah. Maybe Grandpa 800's mission is to cockblock Kyle Reese so Christian Bale is never born and the real JC can lead us to victory.

This is an... interesting thought. Also, there were factions of machines in the Sarah Connor Chronicles. The reason for the different factions was never really explained beyond one wanted to exterminate humans and the other didn't. Maybe we will get more of an explanation.

Remember in T1, when he T-800 was repairing himself in the Hotel, the manager came up because of complaints of the stench.

i hope they spent as much worrying about writing a good story with good acting as they are worrying about matching up some 30yo velcro nikes.

Nah. If they are going to copy almost everything from the original movies, why not the shoes too?
Sooner or later, arnie's glasses will also be remade
