The child of a war-torn future, Kyle Reese had but one mission: To travel back in time and impregnate Sarah Connor, thereby becoming the father to John Connor and saving the future from murderous, psychopathic robots. Keep in mind that this is a still-young-and-adorable Sarah Connor -- either a sweet and perky Linda Hamilton before her sweaty beefcake phase (a suicide mission), or a twenty-something Lena Headey. It's a good gig if you can get it.

Now, it looks like the next Terminator trilogy may have the new face of the man who will one day father John Connor: Internet scuttlebutt has it that the next Kyle Reese will be Anton Yelchin.

Does that name sound familiar to you? It should: its J.J. Abrams' Pavel Freakin' Chekov. And if the implausibility of a pasty Russian dough-boy incapable of pronouncing the 'v' phoneme is making your head spin, get a load to the picture of Yelchin at the right: This is the beardless, pre-pubertal face of the man who will one day become the baddest Terminator terminator around.

Sometimes incredulity can only be expressed in memes: My head asplode. Other times, it can only be expressed with an obscene litany of four-letter words accompanied by an ambidextrous display of obscene hand gestures. Insert those here for good measure.
