So I say we make an interesting loophole, as long as John Conner exists, Skynett will destroy earth and unleash hell. Only if Conner is killed do we actually have unwritten futures where one possible future of a Skynettless world can exist. So, Conner himself realizing this, goes back in time himself through one of skynett's machines and goes after Sarah Conner DURING her time with Reese and the Terminator.
Snap.
I dunno, it seems like that's a bit much, don't you think? Why not just have the guy kill himself in the present? Plus, that sort of twist ending comes off as so... stereotypical.
