The human who came thru the future (forget his name) to save Sarah Connor from the Terminator said he couldn't bring any appropriate weapons to kill the Terminator with because the time travel method would only allow organic (living?) matter to travel through time. If that's so, how come the Terminator who's a metal robot with some flesh over him (we later see the entire metal skeleton) came through time ? Is this a flaw, or are we suppose to overlook this, or what ? I liked the film, by the way, this isn't a flame about discrepancies - I'm just curious.
