do they arrive in 1984 at random spots


in los angeles or is that where their time machines are located in 2029?

reply

I don't think that they said, BUT, the terminator was hunting for sarah and ended up in the right city, and Reese followed and ended up in the same city.


That is certainly not random.

reply

they used the same time machine, and yes, it was in LA

reply

They both went through the same time machine. Then the humans destroyed it after Reese went through.

They did not arrive in the same physical place in LA 1984, so random spots within the area seems reasonable.

We learned in Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure, that a time machine can not only take you back in time, but also to a city of your choosing anywhere in the world. They had to program the city and year when they entered the time machine.

Exactly.
One would think this is common knowledge but of course, most people are woefully ignorant on these things.

reply

Yup, it amazes me that people today still don't understand how a time machine works

Fucking useless generation!
