According to Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles. it certainly
looks like Skynets Time Machine was kept pretty busy.
What did John Connor do? Send his whole army back in time?
He HAD to send his father, but why his uncle?
Doesn't he still need a lot of humans to repopulate the earth?
Yes Skynet sent Terminators back to kill John and Sarah.
but another goal that would drive Skynet to build the time machine
in the first place is to ensure its own existance.
That Dyson and The Turk is only misdirection. Skynet sent Terminators
to build the tech and software that gives birth to himself.
Skynet is the real owner of Cyberdyne and its own creator.
As for the time travel. It seems to me that major crisis events like
Skynet create a major ****ft and impact in reality. and can even form
a kind of bottleneck. and creates a kind of Groundhogs Day loop that
lands you on a different timeline (like a multilane highway) until you
reach
one that lets you successfully pass thru the bottleneck and continue
on.
but what if the only successfull reality is where Skynet defeats John
Connor?
and the Groundhog Day loop would let T3 happen and still let us ignore
it.
This kinda stuff can really drive ya crazy
