Alright perhaps against my better judgment I've become interested in making a timeline of the Terminator series, to that end I've limited it to Terminator, T2, T3, and Terminator Salvation, the problem lies in that the Terminator: SCC is an alternate timeline so it has nothing to do with the others...at least to my knowledge. In addition I decided to try to include the "Predator" and "Alien" franchises, yes I'm well aware that for the most part only AVP is where humanity comes in contact with the Xenomorph while Skynet is still active but nevertheless I was interested in seeing if it could work. Alright so here is what I've done so far, and I'd like to see if anyone has any suggestions or remarks or changes they think would make sense, please not for the most part all events are simply taken from the films so some like AVP and AVP:R might not make sense...though I did set it back a few months.
