Terminator, Original Timeline?

Has anyone come up with any theories or ideas on the original timeline? Reese does say Sarah is a big hero for training up her son and all that. Of course, there’s the photo Reese that was the same photo the little Mexican boy took, but that could be merely a coincidence (timeline coordinating simil...

Also, Scotty being an Engineer was a staff officer or restricted line officer or some-such. If he moved over to the white-collar, he'd have to go through something akin to the Royal Navy's perisher (or the USN equivalent) and spend a while learning how to be a ship Commander, probably spend some tim...

A military cook, that would explain the knife-fu. Besides, everyone knows military cooks are badasses, just look at Under Seige :lol:

Because people relate better to a single fighter pilot than a PT boat crew or something like that.

I'd save the kid. Got to admire his spunk like that. All the rest of his little firends are dead, the other elder Jedi are dead and instead of curling up into a foetal position and sobbing, he lays into some clones. Only problem would be keeping him in line from wanting to go all Luke and try to kil...

About stun settings

I was reading up Mike Wong's page, and talks about the E-11 and the S-5 having stun. You don't see stun used except in E-11's. Is stun an uncommon setting in most weapons or just a case of never getting to see it except for that one occassion in Episode 4? Or is the 'Every blaster has stun' another ...

I appologise for the Blade Runner Remark, but my previous question still stands. How much punishment can the Cylons take? How many rounds does it take to put them down?

As to science, well just look at Gallileo and how much crap he had to go through? Religions should just stick to that herbal stuff and leave the mathmatical science to the scientists. :roll:

Take this horrible tasting brew, I'll now dance around and rattle some chicken bones...I mean the bones of Saint Heebiejeebie and you'll be cured in a few days. That'll be 10 shekels.

What're the capabilities of the cylons? I know Leoben Conroy was still able to smack over that table and break his chains even after getting pistol-whipped, and probably having the shit kicked out of him previous by the Gemenon Traveller crew (wouldn't surprise me, really), and yet he's still able t...

Probably the real estate is so cheap, at least that explains why anyone would *want* to live there.
That or Owen and Lars were growing some hash-hash and couldn't be growing it on Coruscant or Naboo or something. :lol:

I thought Nars were the Moselims of the B5-verse. Having to do that fasting ceremony, bowing towards Narn on that particular sunrise and I think they eat with their hands too.

Exactly. It's the reason why they have jump drives aint artifical gravity instead of having to spin the ship or just exercise all the time to prevent muscle atrophy. Because them having to take a few months to travel across one system would be boring. And because people expect noises when they see t...

And just as you see affluent people on the upper levels of Coruscant, you have the dregs living down below. There's probably Clone War Vets ambling around looking for the next meal and a strong drink.

But just think of Mos Eisely as the ghetto of the 'wars galaxy. Instead of gangbangers or Gringo-hating latinos, you have the Sand People. Everything else is pratically the same.

Maybe the security guard just came from a long line of proud speciests. The occasionally growed 'Goddamned squid-heads' by dear old dad, like out of American History X. Being in the military and having comrades who happen to be goddamned aliens doesn't get rid of that engrained stuff. Besides, if al...
