Odd. I was just thinking about posting some things regarding the Seige Scene last nite. The Gangsta Hold didn't bother me too much, since it seemed to be simply a matter of convenience; usually in transition of acquiring a new target. The lack of armor did bug me but I assume the APU's probably weren't initially designed for combat. I'll hazard a guess they served other purposes, such as digging and cargo, as did the loader in Aliens.
But here's what DID bug me and what made me want to post: We have the last bastion of concious human civilization knowing that sooner or later they'll have to do battle with sentient machines. Obviously the machines are totally dependent on high-end electronics. Duh. So in defense these humans create bombs and missiles and large-caliber guns. Makes sense...to a point, but...
WHY was the only way to generate an EMP one battered ship making a run down a tunnel!!?!?? Out of all these great brains nobody came up with the idea of designing and building at least three or four mobile focused EMP generators? *PULSE* 10,000 dead Sentinels at a shot. *PULSE* There's another load. Where's the clean up crew over here?! These things are piling high and stacking deep.
Doesn't even have to be successful. So the Sentinels still overwhelm them. Doesn't hurt the desired(movie) outcome at all. But the total lack of even the idea? Drove me absolutely ape-crap.
