Terminator Timeline

By Miss Cellania in Film on May 24, 2009 at 3:46 pm

Now that Terminator Salvation is in theaters, Cracked has attempted to create a timeline that explains how the various time-travel plots work. Some things to remember:

1. Time travel in a Terminator movie is like plumbing in a porno: a very loose excuse to get to the action.
2. Anyone expecting accuracy is missing the point (and having much less fun than everyone else).
3. With that said, here is our attempt to construct a sensible time line of the franchise.

Note: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is not included in this project. Link -via Digg

“Note: The Sarah Conner Chronicles is not included in this project”

It’s “Sarah Connor” genius, you sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

Don’t forget the alternate-1985, when Biff rules Hill Valley. Edith Keeler had to die to untangle that mess.

Terminator Salvation was disappointing. I’d recommend waiting for DVD.

My apologies, nuts. I appreciate your concern.

Actually, nuts, Miss C doesn’t sound like a damn fool, unless she’s reading it aloud and spelling out the name as she goes along.

This would be more a case of “looking” like a damn fool, although the measure of damnedness and foolishness (or perhaps I should say “damned folly”?) is relative.

I would venture to guess that nobody else but you noticed or cared. It’s not like she spelled Spock or some Klingon’s name wrong. That would be sheer folly.

Anyone who takes offence to misspelling the last name of a fictional character deserved the world’s biggest facepalm.

Apply directly to the forehead.

Doesn’t include the Terminator attraction in Universal Studios Florida which is considered by James Cameron to be part of the line. Not sure how it would fit though as Skynet is destroyed in that one. Hmm.

Need fast cash? make a new timeline!

Good thing from the first movie they introduced the idea of time travel, allowing them to throw out the window a trivial concept like continuity.
