Ideas for Terminator movie twists
Well, here we are. The 2020s. We finally get to find out if Kyle Reese served in the 132nd under Steve, Joe, or Katy Perry. I'm thinking Katy. Yeah, I know, one of the sequels had him serving under "Justin" Perry, but that was probably just in some kind of parallel universe caused by a time travel goof. I still say it will be Katy.
Speaking of time travel goofs, I was thinking about ideas for future Terminator movies. (Maybe some of these have already been done in some of the recent sequels, I get a little distracted and confused by all the explosions). So, in the first T movie, you know when Sarah C parks her moped at the restaurant where she works, and asks the big plastic restaurant mascot/icon/thing in front of the restaurant to guard it for her. Supposedly she says "Guard it for me, Big Jeff," but I always thought it sounded like she said "Guard it for me, Big Ben." Well, maybe that could be turned into some kind of subplot for a future Terminator movie. Like, maybe the Sarah we see had grown up in a timeline where her restaurant was called Big Ben's, but one of the minor side effects from various Terminators and soldiers going back and forth from the future to the past had caused some kind of minor variation, resulting in the restaurant in this altered timeline being called Big Jeff's. I know, this is just a stupid little detail, but they could use it to come up with a cool twist. Like, maybe the Sarah Connor we see was rescued from some other timeline and dumped in the one we see, and was made to forget being rescued somehow... there are tons of things they could do with that, and use it as a starting point for more plot twists.
Also, when Dr. Silverman is questioning Reese, you know that moment when his beeper goes off? They could make that into a plot point of some kind. Maybe the Dr. Silverman we see is really some model of Terminators, interrogating Reese to get some information that Skynet doesn't have, in the future of some timeline?? Maybe his phone beeping was actually a signal from his computer overlords, telling him to cease a certain line of questioning, or take the questions in another direction. They could do a lot of things with that. Another thing is that when Dr. Silverman leaves the police station, right before the "I'll be back" scene, his beeper beeps again. Maybe that was his computer Skynet overlords telling him to get the hell out of the station before Arnold shows up, or something along those lines.
I bet if someone really looked at the original movie carefully, they could find all kinds of minor details that could be used as jumping-off points for new movies. Anybody got any good ideas????
