Line 279:
* [[Alas, Poor Yorick]]
* [[All Part of the Show]]: Sarah warns the audience multiple times to leave before the building is destroyed. Take a guess how many audience members actually leave.
* [[Canon
** Then again many fans retconned ''T3'' because it wasn't directed by James Cameron.
* [[The Nudifier]]: The fact that [[Time Travel]] does this is extremely averted, as the Terminator keeps not only his clothes, but his bike, his [[Cool Shades]], and his shotgun. Probably [[Enforced Trope]], since this ''is'' a theme park attraction.
Line 534:
* [[Robot War]]
* [[Sand in My Eyes]]: John says that Sarah does this when she cries about her lost love Kyle Reese.
* [[Screw Destiny]]: ''Terminator 2'' contradicts Reese's original report about the future -- the part about nobody else coming through. ''T3'' and ''TSCC'' also contradict his clear calendar date for the apocalypse. There may be some sort of spiritual destiny, but it is not embedded in the clockwork of spacetime, [[Timey-Wimey Ball|which is squishy and malleable]]. Unless ''T4'' is a direct sequel to ''T1'' and [[Canon
** In ''T4'' John Connor can't get his story straight about whether destiny can be averted or must be fulfilled. It's possible he's just hedging his bets just in case.
* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]
Line 569:
** The campaign for ''Salvation'' spoiled that Marcus {{spoiler|was a cyborg}}.
* [[Trust Password]]: "Come with me if you want to live" is what Reese says to Sarah Connor when they first meet. In ''T2'' and ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]],'' it's how terminators identify themselves as good guys.
* [[Truth in Television]]: The British Ministry of Defence actually operates a [[wikipedia:Skynet
** The US Air Force has a unit readiness tracking system called, I shit you not, ''SkyNet''. During exercises, announcements come over the loudspeakers for group commanders to "update numbers in SkyNet".
** There is a company called Cyberdyne that is working on exoskeletons. Based in Japan. The version it's getting the most attention for is called the HAL 5. Anyone else see the three problems with this?
