Don't Stray.

Emilia Clarke is the new Sarah Connor. Great casting! However, I have a really bad feeling about "Terminator: Genesis" and I'm probably the biggest fan of the "Terminator" franchise that most of you know by a large margin.

They should be focusing on the 2029 war instead of the time-travel angle seeing as how it doesn't work anymore, thematically, after the nihilistic events of "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines". And it doesn't help that they're talking about sending Sarah to the future which is a complete insult to the established continuity, in my opinion, but then, again, I've infamously also argued in the past that the canon of the "Terminator" franchise is mutable seeing as how no timeline in the "Terminator" universe isn't safeguarded against interference from parallel universes; Hence, any progress or regresses made by either side in the Battle Across Time is irrelevant before the respective year 2027 in any of the timelines because that's the year in which Skynet sent the first T-800 to the past (not 2029: A common misnomer that is debunked by dialogue from the first film) in hopes of killing Sarah Connor, causing John Connor to follow suit by sending Kyle Reese to protect her.

I'd be all for a fifth "Terminator" film if they told the story correctly and had the details down-pat but judging from the tidbits that have been confirmed so far about the project: That is simply not the case. Sad, because the "Terminator" franchise is one of my favorite and most treasured franchises ever. But, hey, it goes back to what I said about the mutability of the story: Because of the unregulated time-travel, the viewer can pick and choose which installments they choose to accept as canon and which ones they'd rather ignore or retcon out of existence. That's what makes the "Terminator" franchise so unique, really.... you get to make your own story from the chapters like an abstract painting. We'll see how it goes, I guess. Emilia Clarke is a fantastic talent, I must admit.
