My favorite episode of TSCC was "Self Made Man", partly because it did the "Terminator arrives in different period" approach. Sent to assassinate the governor of California at a hotel in 2009, the Terminator accidentally lands in a speakeasy in the twenties. In the process, he also unwittingly kills the guy who would have built the hotel. So, the Terminator starts a construction business empire in order to ensure the hotel will still be there in the future. The people of the thirties hate him for his egalitarian hiring policies, and find it unusual that he joins in on the work sites himself.

That's the one! Smashes his way out dressed like a mobster, and Tommy-guns the governor In TSCC, Skynet had broader goals for it's robotic agents than just assassinations. A lot of their work is securing resources to help win the war, like stockpiling rare metals. Meanwhile the future resistance is weirded out that John Connor has had so many robot visitors throughout his lifetime that it's drastically altered future-Connor's outlook on them.

My favorite Terminator game was Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

I really didn't like Dark Fate's conceit of "we defeated skynet and its terminators, but then a *new* supercomputer with the exact same modus operandi appeared, right down to the humanoid robots called terminators." It did have some great scenes though, the fight between Grace and the Rev-9 in the factory felt properly kinetic and powerful. The way that Rev-9 stands up from the ground conveys an inhuman nature to its movement, like the outer skin is driving it rather than the skeleton inside
