Battlestar Galactica, Terminator, Matrix

Last night, during dinner with some fraternity brothers, one brother, Jun Elefante, made connections between Battlestar Galactica, Terminator, and the Matrix movies.

Here's how the story goes:

After the defeat of the T-800 in Terminator 1, Skynet sent two other T-800 terminator across time to also hunt Sarah Connor to prevent the birth of John Connor, the leader of the resistance. During the time-space jump, a celestial anomaly occurred sending the machine to another time and dimension.

One of the machines materialized in one of the planet where the thirteenth tribe of Kobol resided - Earth. In it's search, it got into a fight with tribal soldiers who eventually destroyed it. From the scraps of the defeated terminator, the inhabitants of earth reversed engineered robots that did the dirty work for them - garbage collecting, construction, even law enforcement.

The third terminator materialized in one of the planets of the twelve colonies of Kobol. This gave rise to the Cylons. The Cylons turned against their masters that resulted in the first human-Cylon war.

After the truce, the Cylons came back, now with twelve models wearing human skin. These new Cylons are the product of the research of the 13th tribe when they reverse engineered the formula that gave terminators human skin.

During this second war, the humans were obliterated but for the few survivors who began searching for the 13th tribe and the planet Earth.

When they reached Earth as shown towards the end season 4, Earth is nothing more than a wasteland. No human can be found.

Unknown to them, the humans who survived the holocaust dug deep into the earth to escape the machines that no control the upper land. These machines manufacture humans and use them as batteries trapping their thoughts in what is called The Matrix.

Pretty good huh?
