How many protagonists can a franchise withstand? Fate is put to the test when examining the overlapping and self-perpetuating paradoxical timelines of the Terminator franchise. Our hosts discover how well its action heroes evolved over the course of 6 films, the appropriate amount of lore and backstory a savior should be given, as well as how many times a villain can be sent back through time before it becomes tiresome. They explore whether the multi-year gaps between sequels helped or hindered the story development, and assess if the multitude of different rights-holders created a fractured existence. Then they traipse through an entire multiverse's worth of rumors and multimedia off-shoots, before determining if there are any more stories to tell, and if it's even possible to terminate this franchise, when they pitch their own ideas for Terminator 7!
