With you on all counts Ray. I remember as a kid watching the original, when Kreese has his dream about the future while sleeping in the car. The terminators walking around on human skulls while these death-planes fly over head searching for victims.......i just remember wishing that this whole sequence would continue because it was terrifyingly awesome.
So yeah, I think Terminator fans have been waiting for the "future battle-royal between man and machine" since 1984. Hope it's good.
