This Frequently Asked Questions list is based largely on the T2 FAQ compiled by Doug Fierro, last dated 11/10/91. (Doug's email address is dead--Doug, are you out there?) That's why I numbered the initial release of this FAQ version 2.0. Due to constant demand for information on the Terminator films, the FAQ has been resurrected. Contributions/discussion are welcome! The preferred forum for discussion is news:rec.arts.sf.movies.
In section 6.0 on time travel, there are probably no absolute right or wrong answers--except as far as real-world physics can be applied to the virtual world of the Terminator films. I'm not looking for alternate ideas about time travel, thank you very much. I'm just trying to explain the logic underlying what happens in the Terminator films. Everyone has an opinion (read: theory) about time travel. Try reading news:alt.sci.time-travel and you'll see...!
If you want to contribute something and start out by writing, "I know someone who knows this guy who met JC's gardener once, and she says that JC says that..." Well, I probably won't read much further than that. If you cite a reference to info that you provide, your credibility will be that much greater. (I'm not anally retentive. It's just that this is supposed to be an information file, not a misinformation file. ;-)
If you want to make sure I get your input, send me email at .
This FAQ has recently undergone another massive overhaul, including information on T3.
