10 Timelines From The Terminator Universe

These ten different timelines, which are all affected whenever someone uses a time machine, can be confusing (as all time travel stories are), but reading them may help you prepare for the new movie Terminator: Salvation.
I've mulled it over some more, and I still believe there has to be a timeline where someone other than Kyle Reese is John Connor's father. When The Terminator was a standalone movie, you could read it either way. Either there's a circular causality, where Kyle is "always" John Connor's father, or Kyle's time travel creates a new branch. But Terminator 2 pretty much establishes that time travel always creates new branches, because there's no fate but what we make. And the Connors, with their friendly T-800, are able to stop or at least delay Skynet. But of course, your mileage, even backwards and forwards through time, may vary.

I think that the recistances and the machines messing around with the timeline over and over again ultimately will lead to the destruction of both parites in the end.

We call those a "Come-a-Long". It's for stretching the wire when constructing a barbed wire fence. You lay out your wire and then when you get to the last post you hook it up to that thing. Then you ratchet it tight, wrap the loose end around the post and nail it tight. After it's secure, you release the ratchet and attach the wire to all the smaller posts down the line. Repeat for the next strand.

It's a medieval back scratcher. It was really useful for knights who needed to scratch their backs while in full armor.

This is what enterprising blacksmiths gave their kids to play with in the good ol' frontier days. Instead of rolling a hoop with a stick, the kids would push this puppy around the yard. Served a dual purpose as a lawn aerator without the kids even knowing it.

Megatron's pocket knife takes the form of a buzzsaw, which he uses to open up small items like cars. This old rusty one was lost in battle. Peace through tyranny!
