* One interpretation of ''[[Terminator Salvation]]'' (and the whole series) is that the characters are tragically wrong about the whole "no fate" thing.
** That doesn't fit with ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' (though [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity|that's okay]]; T3/Salvation and SCC are [[Alternate Continuity|separate direct continuations from T2]].) Chronicles actually has {{spoiler|different time travelers bringing back knowledge of different futures, though all feature the Skynet War}}; evidently time ''can'' be changed, but it's got a hell of a lot of inertia.
** Arguably, in ''The Terminator'', Kyle and Skynet erroneously believe history can be changed. Then ''Terminator 2'' retcons it so that they're right.
* In the [[Star Trek (film)|new]] ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'' [[Star Trek (film)|movie]], old Spock relies on Kirk's lack of knowledge about the mechanics of time travel in convincing Kirk not to reveal old Spock's existence to his past self.
