confused about a few things:
>In the Pilot, they were in 1999 then leapt to 2007... right?
>So, John was born in 1984 (based off the original movie) >meaning he is currently 15 yrs old, but living in the year >where he would have been 23 yrs old. >So where is the 23 year old John?
he IS the 23 year old john- there can't be two versions of him floating around; that only happens if he jumps backwards to a previous time. what you are talking about doesn't happen going forward. if he jumps to the time when he is leading the resistance, it would amount to him never leading the resistance, because going forward he eliminates whatever actions lead him to that point.
since judgement day had been postponed, and cameron took them to a spcific time that john ordered, i'm sure they calculated a safe distance for them to lose any risk of messing things up.
>He must exist, since the 40 something year old John is in the >future fighting robots with is 30 something year old Uncle >(Derek Reese a.k.a. David Silver).
nope like i said, going forward eliminates that future version. going backwards there can be two, but not forward. if john leaps all the way to 2029 or whatever, the future john ceases to exist as well.
>Shit's kinda weird. Did Kyle Reese leap from the future back >to 1984 and knock up Sara Connor? Someone please explain if >you can.
well the writers think this through in my view. kyle was sent back to knock up sarah, but the paradox lies in the fact that john already existed before kyle, so there is no way for kyle to get sarah pregnant without creating a different person entirely, under different circumstances, and inevitably altering much of what would come.
the only other theory to adequately explain this is that this is all somehow predestination- no matter what happens, there is a chosen future that WILL happen no matter what people do to change it.
of course that sort of presents the question of a godhead, the fates, some other being that pulls the strings imo. there is no destiny without something to enforce it, imo. -Sig-
