Terminator timeline

Saga Timelines

Main info

There are a lot of discussions about the parallels in timetravel, conversions of (normal) space and other explanations that have to do with paradoxes as shown in the movie. To much to think about... to many theories about 'what is right' and 'what is wrong'. Too 'brainboggling' we would say. For now we've included several timelines send in by fans from the official T3 forums, our own forum and several e-mails that have been sent in. Sometime soon this timeline should be resampled into a more pleasing and acurate representation of all possible timelines (to be announced).
