I have a Terminator question!

How is it that Present Day!John Connor and Future!Derek Reese able to see Present Day!Kyle Reese and Present Day!Derek Reese? And how is it that they are kids?

My head is going to explode!

movies, tv

Well, the timeline's been screwed to from here and back... but basically.... going according to the television timeline:

John was born in 1983.
The events of the second movie happen in 1997, when John's thirteen.
The television series starts in 1999, when John's fifteen.
They timetravel to 2007, John's still fifteen.

In the meantime, Derek was born in 1995-96, and Kyle is born in 2002, hence they're kidlets if you factor in the timejump.

There's more detail but it'll probably make your head hurty?

I'd rather have some kind of answer than just oscillating between 'wtf' and 'stfu' as I'm watching.

The time line is a great help. Does John leap again?

Well, I linked you my insane timeline over at ij and there's more at the Terminator wikis.

Nah, no more time travel for John. Unless the television writers decide to throw that in.

Oh, it's also worth noting that the date of Judgment Day keeps getting pushed back further and further in each movie/series.

When was the original Judgment Day? I've long since forgotten.
