The Outer Limits: Soldier (1964)
Episode 1, Season 2
Boring story, no connection to Terminator save time travel

I was terribly disappointed in this episode. Namely i was watching it for reference to Terminator, yet saw but a skeleton of reference, just because two soldiers come back to fight, with no apparent reasoning behind their time travel, does not a Terminator make. No wonder Cameron was so disappointed the producers paid off Ellison, i would have fought it to the bone. There is a story by Philip K. Dick that has much more similarity. Of it's own the story was boring and dreadfully long, could have taken place in half an hour with a better ending. The one good aspect of the story is that at least the future soldier knew how to smoke a cigarette, shows at least we keep our unhealthy addictions well into the future.
