Where is the Resistance fighting SKYNET?
Feb 13 2009, 5:43 PM EST | Post edited: Feb 13 2009, 5:43 PM EST
To what extent does SKYNET have a presence in the world? Is it mainly the U.S.? Is Australia free of SKYNET control? Is that why the sub that Jesse was on came to the U.S.? She mentioned that the sub was making supply runs. Is that where food, medicine, clothing, and weapons for the Resistance comes from? Do you find this valuable?

Skynet was built and developed in the US. Therefor Skynet will be based in the US, so most of the fighting will be centered here.

According to the terminator in T2, Skynet would launch a nuclear strike against Russia, knowing the Russian counter attack would eliminate the threat in both places. The US and Russia would be the biggest opposition to Skynet, therefore nuclear strikes in both countries would completely crush any resistance.

It's an american show, so it's only natural that most the action is in the US. (just like aliens always land in the USA on TV). and of course, SKYNET was "made in america"., in LA, so it is only natural the focus is in that area.

About Australia.. I have no idea.

Does that mean Australia wasn't nuked? Jesse said they had started growing food again, to which Derek seemed surprised. Perhaps they were only hit by the fallout?

It sounds like Australia is puting up some kind of resistance against SKYNET. After all, they have a nuclear powered sub (operated by a "scrubbed" T-888) which would presumbly be armed with nuclear missles. That would certainly be a threat to SKYNET!

Sorry, no nukes on a Seawolf unless a tomahawk can be fitted with a nuke. She's a fast attack boat not a "boomer". I wonder how they got their hands on it?

Was probably underwater during J-Day, and managed to make it to somewhere with less Skynet presence. Tomahawks can be fitted with nukes, I think. But the odds that it's tomahawks (assuming it was armed with them and not harpoons, for example) wouldn't have been fitted with nukes at the time, and there'd be no way they could get them fitted after J-Day.

The resistance is worldwide. Skynet wants to kill ALL of humanity, so anywhere where there are humans, there will be Skynet machines hunting them. The US, Russia, China, and NATO countries would see the bulk of Skynet activity, at least, at first. I'd imagine Skynet would attack the biggest threats to itself at first (the aformentioned countries) and then go after those with the largest populations; eg India, Brazil, etc, to kill off as many more humans as possible.


Australia would have been hit, but not as badly as some other countries.

I agree. One thing to keep in mind though is the location of SKYNET itself. It's core is in NORAD's headquarters in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado. SKYNET wants to protect itself, therefor it would have the greatest machine presence in this area. This would probably also be where most of the fighting would take place, since NORAD would have to be destroyed in order to kill SKYNET.

SKYNET wants to kill all humans, but it can't do that everywhere at once.
