T-Rex: Okay! I am going to write a story and it will be something BRAND NEW. It will be the most staggeringly original story ever. It will feature action and characters that COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN CONCEIVED BY ANYONE BUT ME.

Narrator: T-REX AND HIS STORY, "TUGGY THE TUGBOAT TUGS... IN SPACE"

Dromiceiomimus: Don't people say that there's only 10 or so stories, and all narratives are just variations on these themes?
T-Rex: I call shenanigans on that!! What are these 10 basic stories then?
Dromiceiomimus: Um, okay - boy meets girl, girl meets boy, boy meets boy, girl meets girl, boy meets... plant...
T-Rex: THAT ONE IS NOT A REAL STORY.

Utahraptor: I think what Dromiceiomimus is saying is that there are forms!
T-Rex: Ridiculous!

T-Rex: All that means is that if you boil the story down to its most superficial aspect then, YEAH, you can connect it to "Terminator II". But then you might as well treat EVERY story as a sequel, prequel, or rewrite of "Terminator II"!
Utahraptor: I might as well!

Narrator: SOON:
Off panel: Hamlet is Shakespeare's most disappointing Terminator sequel yet.
T-Rex: It's an okay story, but as a Terminator sequel, it profoundly disappoints on every conceivable level!
