[Dukasaur]

Week 17: Meanwhile, a very different Terminator, the T-1000 played by Robert Patrick, arrives. At first, it is not clear if he is the good Terminator or the bad Terminator.

Week 20: John realizes that the T-800 has been sent to protect him, and he also figures out that it is programmed to follow his orders. He decides to break his mother out of the Pescadero institution for the criminally insane where she is imprisoned. The Terminator advises against it, but John takes charge and gives the orders.

John Connor: We need to get my mother.
The Terminator: Negative. The T-1000's highest probability for success now will be to copy Sarah Connor and to wait for you to make contact with her.
John Connor: Great, but what happens to her?
The Terminator: Typically, the subject being copied is terminated.
John Connor: Shit! Why didn't you tell me? We gotta go right now!
The Terminator: Negative. She's not a mission priority.
John Connor: f*ck you! She's a priority to me!

[Dukasaur]

Week 21. The famous "hasta la vista" scene.

Week 21: As John and Sarah and the T-800 leave town, the famous "hasta la vista" scene.

John Connor: No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "affirmative," or some shit like that. You say "no problemo." And if someone comes on to you with an attitude you say "eat me." And if you want to shine them on it's "hasta la vista, baby."
The Terminator: Hasta la vista, baby.
John Connor: Yeah but later, dickwad. And if someone gets upset you say, "chill out"! Or you can do combinations.
The Terminator: Chill out, dickwad.
John Connor: Great! See, you're getting it!
The Terminator: No problemo.

Evil semp and celliottii are conscripted to play two games this week.

Risk_averse did not accept his invate. R_A has not bee online since Dec. 4th, so I'm not going to bother with a 2nd invite and I'm going straight to conscription.

Dhallmeyer is conscripted to play an extra game to replace R_A.

[Dukasaur]

Week 22: Driving into the desert, the T-800 explains how Skynet was entrusted with the entire U.S. Defense network, became self-aware, and decided to eliminate humans.

The Terminator: The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
Sarah Connor: Skynet fights back.
The Terminator: Yes. It launches its missiles against the targets in Russia.
John Connor: Why attack Russia? Aren't they our friends now?
The Terminator: Because Skynet knows the Russian counter-attack will eliminate its enemies over here.

Week 23: Sarah sends John and the T-800 off by themselves while she decides to go kill Myles Dyson, the inventor of the radical new microprocessor that makes Skynet possible. They figure out her plan and intercept her. John stops her from killing Dyson. It's not clearly articulated, but John's theme here and in other scenes is that they can't fight evil by becoming evil. The end does not justify the means. John reveals the truth to Dyson to enlist his aid.

Sarah Connor: [narrating] Dyson listened while the Terminator laid it all down: Skynet, Judgment Day, the history of things to come. It's not everyday you find out that you're responsible for 3 billion deaths. He took it pretty well.
Miles Dyson: I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

Sarah is a lot less calm than Dyson.

Sarah Connor: How are you supposed to know? Fucking men like you built the hydrogen bomb. Men like you thought it up. You think you're so creative. You don't know what it's like to really create something; to create a life; to feel it growing inside you. All you know how to create is death...
John Connor: Mom.
Sarah Connor: ...and destruction...
John Connor: Mom! We need to be a little more constructive here, okay?

Week 26: Another famous car chase, with John, Sarah, and the T-800 fighting off the T-1000. In succession, he destroys the S.W.A.T. team van, a pickup truck, and a tractor-trailer carrying liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen stops him for a bit, as his liquid metal body becomes brittle and smashes. However, molten metal spills out of a foundry they have smashed into, and melts the frozen shards, enabling the T-1000 to re-assemble himself.

Well, we lost another one. Guzmanuk has missed 3 consecutive invites and is removed. JPlo64 is conscripted to play an extra game.

[Dukasaur]

We are down to 48 players now, so I was able to make 8 games of 6 with none left over. Assuming everyone accepts their invites, there should be no conscription this week.

Week 27: After fighting in the ruined foundry, they eventually succeed in knocking the T1000 into a vat of molten metal, finally destroying him with the extreme heat.

Week 28: They also throw the remaining chips that they took from Cyberdyne into the molten metal, and last but not least, they lower the T-800 in. History has forever been altered. The epilogue:

Sarah Connor: The luxury of hope was given to me by the Terminator. Because if a machine can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.

Thus ends the second movie.
