I beleive they explained that (or maybe I imagined it) by saying that his
(its) flesh covering allowed it to make the trip.

I have another question about this film.  Does anybody else beleive that
the "human who came thru the future" (I forget his name too) was actually
Sarah's son?  There seemed to be several subtle references to it like his
saying he has always loved her.  This would add a really interesting twist
to the story (I know, the twist is back in the category of causality in
time travel stories, but I think it was left subtle enough to be merely
interesting, and not trite).  Anybody else think this is or isn't possible?
