Okay so this is my theory about what connects episode two and portal; my evidence is as follows:
-Its been repeatedly noticed that portals architecture, style and general feel is some what remanisent of the combine.
-The portal technology they use is distinctly different to that of blackmesa's, and actually is more representative of the combines (think the end of Half Life 2, that portal that opened there is very similiar to what Portal's portals look like).
-We find out at the end, in the charming song, that GLaDOS is still alive after the final fight, and something about her reminds me of the Advisors from the episodes. (The way she hangs from the ceiling, and generally looks like a metallic version).
-We know something terrible must have happened at Aperature Science as Eli notes it near the end of Episode 2. The borealis is seen to have reappeared or some such as well but ignoring that for now.
So here goes, after presenting the above evidence what if after portal finished GLaDOS lives on, and uses the Portal technology some how (perhaps in accordance with the combines own portals?) She manages to slip her self and a large portion of her facility into another universe (Ala Xen, but obviously not Xen).
Once there she could then continue her experiments on other species without the hinderence of the moral inhibitor, and then starts produces biomechanical hybrids out of the creatures she experiments on. THUS GLaDOS PRODUCES THE COMBINE! GLaDOS doesn't know shes the combine of course (at the time of portal), and yes some time travel is involved here but I think the theory fits the evidence not bad. What you folks think?
NOTE: About GLaDOS looking like the advisors, perhaps GLaDOS eventually decides her mechanical brain isn't good enough and produces the biomechanoid that is the Advisor as a shell. Or perhaps they are created by her to control her vast armies?
