I think it’s a blast.  Although my inner geek would like to point out that the Terminator skull jumping through the time hole in episode 2?  Continuity hole!

The reason why Terminators are covered in flesh is to do the time jump — only organic materials can pass through — no clothes, no weaponry.  (As explained in Terminator 1)

(Yeah, I really wanted to enjoy this without my inner geek rambling, but I just couldn’t resist.)
