This is stupid. It was established that the T-1000 that was sent back took its appearance from a future resistance fighter.

@Smeagol92055: Yeah, I don't remember that either. I thought that it was the police officer that he kills in the beginning, but I guess he could've already been Robert Patrick and then took on the officer's clothes or whatever. I don't know.

Honestly, I think the character is a little better without an attachment to that form.

Kinda reminds me of the deleted scene from T3 that showed Arnold as the scientist who designed the prototype Terminator (which doesn't make any sense, but that's why it wasn't in the actual movie), but he has a country accent, which they replace with Arnold's accent from a smaller scientist.

@Smeagol92055: continutity is, as always, highly overrated.

I thought that the T-1000 had copied its appearance from a police officer that it encountered -- it would make no sense for the scientist who invented it to look *just like* that police officer.

@OlavRokne: actually it makes perfect sense, in this timeline the scientest went back in time and had sex with his great great great aunt who's son became a police officer.

If you don't want "The Unit", you're missing out - especially this season. His character is gritty, often manipulative, but also very heroic. It's a great show.

@NonElitist: It's surprisingly true. I started watching it by accident and am generally completely not into "military" TV shows. Don't watch NCIS; didn't watch JAG; don't even watch 24; and I'm sure there are others I didn't and don't watch.

But I'll be damned if The Unit hasn't become one of my favorite shows on the teevee.
