  1. I always thought that the resistance invented the time machine but that team was attacked and killed before they could use it, which would explain it only working on living things.

    It’s interesting how “No fate but what we make” oscillates between noble lie and useful truth between the movies.

  2. Pakita & I listened to three episodes of On Borrowed Time while on a road trip, and she declared Siskoid the best of the podcasters that we played. She favored the Trancers episode, but there’s a clear bias there. Clearly, Skynet used humans to test the time displacement technology, and that’s how they determined that only living tissue could go, and delayed their own usage long enough for the resistance to learn of it (possibly from displaced subjects landing at various points in the timeline.) Oh hey, thanks for revisiting my Terminator NOW promo!
