Ya definitely meant more for eye-candy then anything else. I still find it interesting...or maybe odd that each time around a different set of ppl were sent back through time...and at different points in the past!
WARNING...SPOILER
I wonder why they sent the terminators back so close to Judgement Day? With time travel...they could have sent them back at ANY time they chose. I guess they realized that there was nothing they could do to prevent Judgement Day from happening and went to the next objective...to make sure that Conner survived Judgement Day.
Something else...where did the super-virus come from? They don't really spend much time on where it came from or who wrote/released it.
