SPOILERS and SEMI RANTS :-)

OK, it was a pretty good movie. But what was the deal with

1) The big transport/Terminator picking up humans to bring them back to Skynet? Wasn't the idea always to kill all the humans not enslave them? Somebody has Terminator mixed up with Matrix...

2) Marcus' program being to lure John Connor to Skynet. Shouldn't he have just offed Kyle and ended the resistance before it started?

3) All the military hardware, especially the A-10s and Hueys. You would think Skynet would have nuked all the USAF bases and would automatically shoot down anything flying with SAMs... It seems to me that in the original and T2 humanity was reduced to machine guns stuck on the backs of pickup trucks and old Chevy Impalas... Not flat screen comouters and undetectable radio transmissions... Skynet could have targeted any of John Connor's radio chats and nuked his location -- early end to the movie though

4) Using Marcus as 'the ultimate sleeper agent' I thought Boomer was the ultimate sleeper agent Too much BSG influence? If they were developing the T-800 why make a single Marcus?

I did like the fact that Marcus despite his programming and the control chip managed to break those bonds and really fight for humanity.
