Two franchise-related questions I had while watching this movie...
1) Why don't the machines just send back a robot that has the size, shape, and appearance of a little wasp or bug or something, with just enough lethal poison or venom in it? Then inconspicuously land on the target, sting him/her, and be done with it? I realize the answer is, "Because then there would be no movie," but I found this one so much sillier in that regard. Sending back a human-size killing machine just seemed like A LOT of effort and needless attention-grabbing, when there are dozens other more efficient ways to handle a mission like this.
2) In T2, when Sara and John prevent Judgment Day in 1995, what happens to all of the people and the world of 2029? The resistance sends back a T-800 from 2029 to protect John, but doesn't the T-800 succeeding in its mission erase the world of 2029? I realize that this latest movie operates under the idea that all they did was delay Judgement Day. But still, after sending the T-800 back, is the resistance all just fighting and waiting around in 2029 and then do they simply blink out of existence when Sara and John lower the T-800 into the vat in 1995? Nothing about the time travel in these movies makes any sense whatsoever. I swear, Endgame's view/explanation of time travel has ruined all other time travel movies for (in a good way, as Endgame was so fun and brilliant).
