Terminator Salivation



Yes. I know. It's TERMINATOR SALVATION. But Jumpin Jehosephat!! Terminator Salvation tells the tale of the time before the Cyberdyne T101a Arnold "I'll be Back" Schwarzenegger series.

TERMINATOR SALVATION begins in 2018. Starring Christian Bale (He seems to be the hope for franchise name reboots it looks like), he plays John Connor, leader of the last human resistance. This time, no fancy time travelling devices abound, only the simple discovery of the first "living tissue over metal endoskeleton" terminator.

TERMINATOR SALVATION looks set to rock our screens on May 21st.

A Brief History of the War against the Machines
  • 1984 - Sarah Connor survives termination attempt by T800 model 101. Though destroyed, T800 components are recovered by Cyberdyne Systems and reserve engineered.
  • 1995 - Reprogrammed T800 modeal 101A arrives in time to protect young John Connor from T1000 - Mimetic Polyalloy Terminator. Cyberdyne HQ is destroyed.
  • 1997 - Nuclear Apocalypse merely postponed due to destruction of Cyberdyne HQ.
  • 2004 - Failure of Skynet to kill Sarah Connor leads the AI to send TX to kill TechCom senior commanders including Kate Brewster - future wife of John Connor. The reason being John is living "off the grid" and thus not traceable via any database systems. Skynet goes live. Nuclear Holocaust begins.
  • 2018 - John Connor takes full command of human resistance.
  • 2029 - T101A sent to 1984. Its mission- Terminate leader of the resistance before his birth. Sergeant Kyle Reese, TechCom, sent back in time to protect Sarah Connor - Mother of John Connor. Unknown to Reese, the resistance finds liquid metal residue in Skynet's factories. It is implied that the T-1000 is an experimental unit at this point. John then decides to send a reprogrammed T-800 model back to wherever the liquid metal creation was sent before destroying the Time Displacement equipment.
