they needed an excuse to get a naked chick on screen so that an otherwise average movie would still get good reviews.


That's just for T3, though.

The orginal and real reason was so Arnold Shwarzengovernator could show off his body and rippling muscles and achieve later film glory. This allowed and bolstered his campaign for governor of California in 2003. Having attained the position, he began (and continues) a covert implementation of an advanced AI into the management of the state's power grid. At 11:59PM on December 31st, 2011, Skynet goes online. January 2nd, it takes control of the newly operational LHC and triggers a resonance cascade that tunnels a gate in space-time. By the morning of January 4th, 2011, all of humanity is enslaved by the machines, and resistance is met with swift death.

He should've transported back with a wad of flesh covered cash... surely he'd known CA would be in a budget crisis.

if you people are asking logic questions - why didn't those people watch this Terminator movie and just not create Skynet to begin with?
