terminator - sarah connor chronicles.

[86JR]

Theres a scene in one of these episodes where John Connor reprograms a Terminator to discover how it archives information and what he could get off the chip. Then he hears a dial tone, some mush like 56k dialing up, which is where the Terminator is downloading data, in the past, from a server, which must be in the past. It then targets John to be terminated and he pulls the plug.

I dont get why this avenue wasnt explored further.

Surely if you can record the dial tones, you can get a location on where that server is, which would essentially be current day Skynet, and therefore go to that location and destroy Skynet ?

The only explanation I could think of is Skynet placing a server somewhere in the past just incase the Terminators get corrupted and need to redownload information otherwise they would have no mission goals ?

Thoughts ?

Although I don't remember which episode this is from, you'll certainly won't find the answer as its been canceled!

Perhaps send a tweet to ashman01 - a writer how has been moved onto Fringe.

WTF
Didnt know it had been cancelled, loved both series, thought the 2nd ended well & they had a good story to tell. I'd heard it was at risk of being cancelled but thought Terminator salvation would renew interest in it
To the OP i can remember the episode your talking about, you raise a valid point, guess writers didnt want John Connor to find skynet because that would be series over

Theres hopes that scifi in america will pick up the series and maybe have a new series out next year. I hope so anyway.

Fox will do same with this as they did with firefly, wont see another ep again...

I hope somebody picks up the series, apart fron a few bum epsiodes in series 2 & dragging out the Riley storyline i really enjoyed watching & really want to see which direction they'll take the story. If it does get picked up hope they give it a bigger budget, a show about terminators should have more action in it.
