[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] OK, I just want to get this down so as to get it all straight in me head. I THINK this explains all the apparent contradictions in the Terminator timeline. I will refer to the timelines by capital letter, and the movies with [b]bold[/b] print. ---------- A: This was the original timeline. We never saw this one. We will begin with Sarah Connor. Sarah Connor was born in approximately 1965. At some point, she has a child, whom she names John Connor. We don't know when, but we'll assume it was around 1995, which would make Sarah around 30. We will also assume that Sarah is not married at the time, due to the fact that she and her child share the same last name. Sometime around 2010, someone, we don't know who, invents AI technology, including a system called SkyNet. SkyNet eventually turns on its creators, leading to machines taking over the planet. A human resistance arises, lead by the now grown John Connor. Eventually, the resistance succeeds, but the machines send a T-800 class Terminator back to 1985, in an attempt to kill Sarah Connor long before her child is born. They include a margin of error, because the machines do not have exact records of when John was born. The Terminator is sent through the portal, and a soldier (who's name escapes me) is sent by Connor to stop him. B: [b]The Terminator[/b] A T-800 and a soldier appear c.1984. The Terminator attempts to kill Sarah Connor, while the soldier attempts to defend her. In the process, Soldier tells Sarah that she will have a son named John Connor, and then impregnates her. The Terminator is destroyed, leaving a minor amount of technology behind, and Soldier is killed. Sarah Connor proceeds to assume that her child is the John Connor that Soldier knows from timeline "A," when this is not the case. There are, in fact, TWO completely seperate John Connors. They simply fall into the same role in life. Cyberdyne corporation obtains the left behind technology, and creates AI technology around 1998. Judgement Day occurs shortly thereafter. Sarah Connor's child John becomes the leader of the resistance, as another of her children by the same name did in "A." The war has the same outcome, with the exception that the machines have more advanced technology, and send a more advanced Terminator to do the same job as the T-800 tried to do from timeline "A." This is a completely seperate event, as the SkyNet from "A" sent the T-800, and the SkyNet from "B" sent the T-1000. Thus, the same computer did not send two assasins two two points in time. C: [b]Terminator 2: Judgement Day[/b] A T-1000 appears, along with a T-800, in or around 1994. The T-800 destroys the T-1000, and in the process destroys the technology that was used by Cyberdyne in "B" to create AI and SkyNet in 1998. However, it is still likely that someone will invent AI technology on the same schedule as in "A," namely in 2010. Thus, Judgement Day may still occur, and a John Connor will still be there to fight it. ---------- The crux of this theory is that there is not a loop. There is simply a third timeline that we never saw, with major, but sometimes superficial, similarities to the ones we did. For instance, in both "A" and "B," there is a man named John Connor, child of Sarah Connor, who leads a resistance against AI machines, who were created at approximately the same time relative to John's birth. Thus, the same events happen in both timelines, but at different times. The John Connor that first fought the machines is not the John Connor that was in T2, as they had different fathers. Sarah Connor simply had another child named John, which wiped out the existance of the first John. However, this is possibly a good thing, as without her impregnation by Soldier, John Connor "A" would have been three years old when the resistance "B" began in 1998, instead of in his late teens. Another side effect of this is that now, if Judgement Day does indeed occur, it will occur around 2010, when John Connor will be in his mid twenties. This may alter the balance one way or another, as in both "A" and "B," he was around 18 when this happened. Questions? Comments? [/QB][/QUOTE]
