Terminator Genisys: 10 Things That Would Have Happened Afterwards

Saving humanity from a devastating future war with the machines is great and all, but not if you're going to have to destroy a symbol of America's technological and economic might in the process. Judgement Day was prevented, but the most thanks they'll get for it is a life of living in a cave while the US invades Vienna.

Assuming that their underground hideaway gets TiVo though - because why wouldn't it? - Sarah Connor will likely wile away her remaining years watching reality show marathons - because why wouldn't you?

Somewhere towards the end of her first episode of Jersey Shore though (and without realising that these things are about as carefully storyboarded and scripted as Genysis itself was) she'll begin to openly weep for humanity. These people, with the freedom to live their lives free of the horrors of global nuclear warfare, care only for their tans and how much drama they can pretend to instigate in a bad nightclub. Sarah Connor has, since the age of about 5, prepared herself to be the human race's last hope... for this.

Would a world ruled by machines, where human beings are forced into labour camps, exterminated on masse, and forced to hide in the rubble, really be any worse than having to watch MTV for two days straight? No. No it wouldn't. All too late, Sarah Connor realises this.
