Particular bonus points for them to having a cybersuit named HAL.

I keep meaning to rewatch that damn movie. It has seriously probably been at least 10 years since I've seen it. And it is so damn good.

Macro9

You know those companies have those names because of Terminator. It's just a big fucking joke to them.

Well, I ain't laughing over here in my comfortable chair sipping on my grape drink.

The hubris of these jerkfaces.

This reads incredibly sinister to me

Veretas

The united airlines employee network is called skynet

Yeah that's just flagrant

Aren't these people the least bit concerned about their sinister naming conventions?!

not enough weed

to make the world go 'round

GeoMitch

are you saying our stoner lifestyles are unsustainable

and that one day we may reach peak weed?

Weaver

the whole terminator franchise is a giant grandfather clause so just shut up and watch your action robots

I am saying that peak pot time (PPT) has passed with Nate Dogg

I am saying that our lifestyles could never endure

Volucrisus Aedrius

Didn't Bishop admit in Aliens that he was a Cyberdyne systems model?

There's a Terminator reference somewhere in Aliens I know that much.

yep

edit: during the meal scene on the Nostromo

Romanian My Escutcheon

Fuck it, if Edward Furlong has to save me from the machines, they can just go ahead and kill me.

And the Aliens series is connected to the Predator series as well.

Uriel

You mean the Sulaco.

The Nostromo was the ship from Alien.

Cogliostro

So basically by the time Alien comes around we've already beat the machines.

Uriel

I can't believe I remember that by the way.

Or made a truce...

But apparently we have given up on time travel all together.

Macro9

I bet if we tried we could link up Alien to Blade Runner. Which has a loose connection to Soldier.

With Alien having this connection to Terminator and Predator it's like a big ol' orgy.

Except we all climax at the same time and instead of an orgasm we get a bullet to the face.

Uriel

Terminator is an alternate world where we discovered time travel.

Karnack

I thought the salvation trailer with "the day the world went away" was pretty great, as far as trailers go.

why did it have to be such a crappy ding dang ol' movie

get a real name, McG

I would be unsurprised to find that this is the second most common access point name in the country

right after "LINKSYS"

Grey Ghost

What? Bishop isn't Cyberdyne, he was made by Weyland-Yutani

Uriel

I think there was a reference to older androids from cyberdyne in the aforementioned scene though.

EDIT: Or not? Hmm I'ma have to watch the movie.

Grey Ghost

Ah, I watched the scene again

They mention that Ash, the android from the first movie, was one of the older Hyperdyne models

I see!

Thanks for saving me from... watching aliens...

Which I am going to do anyway I guess.

TrippyJing

Well, Terminator also crossed over with Robocop.

And Aliens and Predator crossed over with a shitload of things, including Superman and Batman.

Macro9

I consider all of this crossover nonsense to be like Elseworlds stuff. Sure there's some decent stuff out there but it isn't worth worrying over.

The Terminator timeline is fucked up and full of shit as it stands.

TrippyJing

I want an alternate universe where the machines are the Resistance, and the humans are trying to exterminate them.

I'd like to introduce you to the Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis.




Long story short: A vast majority of TV has all occurred within the imagination of a young autistic boy.
