Internal Logic Failure

[(Anonymous)]

So... Terminators and Kyle Reese Had to be naked because non-organic material cannot go back in time. Teminators need to be coated in living tissue, etc.

Bit of a weird rule, but I'll go along with it.

So how the fuck did the T1000 go back? It is not coated in organic flesh, it's coated in liquid metal. Not organic. Not alive. How did it go back?!?!

Further to that, the 1000 wears no clothes. It creates the clothes from it's metal. Why did it need to appear naked when it went back? Couldn't it have been dressed in functional clothes, thus not breaking any laws and attracting unnecessary attention? I mean it panned out, but it made no sense.

I think we're supposed to believe that mimicked flesh reads the same as real flesh. And mimicked clothes would read the same as real clothes (ie nonliving tissue) and not travel.

Doesn't explain the T-888 head in Sarah Connor Chronicles, though.

You're right, it makes no sense.

It was a visual conceit for a visual medium, like so much of the goofier stuff committed to film.

Except other people have explained exactly how it makes sense.

my point was...

[raspberryrain]

The restriction on only flesh-coated stuff making it back really only makes "movie" sense, not actual scientific sense. It's an artistic conceit, for the sake of naked Arnold Schwarzenegger, not based on anything scientific.

The liquid metal mimics living flesh.

A wizard did it.

A cylon did it.

It's not liquid metal, exactly.

It's a bio-mimetic compound, so it takes on the properties of whatever it's mimicking. Therefore, when it's in the fully human form (and not morphing various parts), it's skin is like (or enough like) human skin for it to pass. When it has clothes, that part of it that is clothes is like the fabrics that it is mimicking, so if had tried to come through with clothes on, I think it would have lost some part of itself.
