So sad! Baffled Terminator can’t even remember what timeline he’s in anymore

Fans of The Terminator were left heartbroken when footage emerged of the popular trans-dimensional killing machine wandering through a mall looking confused and dishevelled and asking passers-by if he was called ‘Pops’ or not.

“It was really sad, he just didn’t seem to know where he was,” said one on-looker.

“At one point he stumbled up to this young woman and went – ‘Are you Sarah Connor? I have to kill you, or save you. Where’s your son? Hasta la Vista.’

“She just pushed him away and he shuffled off mumbling that he’d be back, and that’s when security asked him to leave.

“Really sad. I remember when he’d have just killed everyone, blown up the mall and made an amusing, yet robotic quip.”

Kelly Grace is a professor from Oxford University’s Department of Confusing Timelines.

“I’m not surprised by this. The Terminator’s been to a lot of different timelines, and some of them really didn’t make a lot of sense, particularly that one where he’d grown old for reasons that, really, defied logic.

“You can see why there’d be that sense of dislocation and confusion. He’s not sure whether he should shoot people, save people, or sit around quietly and be patronised by her from Game of Thrones.”

A Kickstarter fund was immediately set up to send the Terminator back to 2029 when he came from, but was then shut down after someone pointed out that meeting himself in his own past by travelling to the future was unlikely help lessen his confusion.

Now, all fans can do is watch, wait and hope that no-one else puts him in another ill-thought through sequel that just leads to even greater confusion for both the Terminator and his fans.
