Terminator Zero
Spoilers are ahead for Terminator Zero season 1’s ending.
In its very first season, Netflix’sTerminator Zeroalready has a profound impact on theTerminatorfranchise’s messy timeline.
And, much like theTerminatormovies,Terminator Zerofurther complicates things by interrogating the nature of fate.
Since the first film,theTerminatorsaga has established multiple branching timelines.
“Not that I’m aware of,” Eiko replies.
The point Eiko is traveling to and the point she’s traveling from exist in different timelines.
“Up until you go back in time, that past never happened,” The Prophet clarifies.
“Youre traveling to a past that never took place.”
That said, traveling through time will send Eiko back toapast, notthepast.
The point Eiko is traveling to and the point she’s traveling from exist in different timelines.
Needless to say, this adds more fascinating wrinkles to the franchise’s timeline.
Terminator Zeroalso goes beyond the movies, showcasing the saga’s furthest point in the future orafuture ever.
(Technically, Gabriel Luna’s advanced Terminator, Rev-9, is from 2042 inTerminator: Dark Fate.)
That said,Terminator Zerocharts its own course, all while paying homage.
Terminator Zeroseason 1 is now streaming on Netflix.
