The PS2/Xbox game Dawn of Fate tried to explain the time difference.

Ok, smashing their defense grid that was located I believe in Norad would have eliminated the setup they had on the ground. However, Skynet is a defense satellite or series of satellites I suppose. So when they finally smashed the defense grid and sent Kyle Reese back in time right after the T-800 they didn't think things through and realize that Skynet wasn't really defeated yet... or felt it was contained in space.

So Skynet rebuilds and the war resumes. Seeing that Skynet is sending another machine back in time they do the same once more.

This would account for why Judgement Day was August 29, 1997 and yet it shows them still continuing the war in like 2032 or whenever they said.

Also, seeing how the Terminators are built with their auxiliary system, it makes sense that Skynet would build itself a similar backup strategy.

Another possibility is that John Connor was unaware of the T-1000 as of the Terminator 1 timeline, and only sent Kyle Reese back since he was aware that he was his father. However, sending Kyle Reese back changed things in the future prompting the events of Terminator 2 which would make John Connor distinctly aware that he was going to need the T-800 to protect him. Essentially, the events of each movie have changed things for the next.

It would also explain why tech-com looks a whole hell of a lot more organized in T2 than T1.

Whenever something doesn't make a whole lot of sense, I think back to the Simpsons episode with the toaster.

*Kyle Reese smashes a mosquito and suddenly aliens have conquered skynet in the future.*

Another thing I always thought of as an ironic twist would be that the John Connor depicted in the movies is not THE John Connor responsible for sending Kyle Reese back in time. Kyle Reese goes back in time, knocks up Sarah Connor and since she is pregnant, is physically incapable of producing the real John Connor when his real natural father would have appeared around or slightly after the same time. So this kid is forced to assume the role of someone who he never was meant to become.

Another humorous possibility. Sarah Connor gets around and is already pregnant at the beginning of Terminator 1.

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?
