Yeah it annoys me when franchises do that. That's kinda one of the main problems with the Terminator franchise. They can not stop trying doing a direct sequel to T2. Like, stop it. Move forward. Stop it with the T2 "follow ups". It is so ironic too since these T2 "follow up" try to ignore Rise of the Machines for being bad, yet, Rise of the Machines is actually better than any of the Terminator movies after. Because there is not much to do with the story. Someone goes back in time to do x, someone else is sent back to do y. It is circular. With Alien when you start to reveal to much it becomes pointless. There are somethings that should remain a mystery to make it more terrifying. You have a giant shipped filled with eggs, we do not need to know where it comes from. Not sure if I agree. Rise of the Planet of the Apes trilogy was able to tell a story without time-travel. Not sure why Terminator can't do the same.

Planet of the Apes, is not a fixed point story where one event needs to start the plot. Recall they tried to do it without time travel and failed.
