Was muddling over this the other day, and recalled some statement that I may have read here or elsewhere, but do not see present within this thread. Suffice it to say, I didn't think this one up first:
T3 should have been the second movie in the trilogy.
In T1, a Terminator is sent to kill Sarah Connor. Blah, blah, blah. We know this tale.
T2 should have been a Terminator (a Terminatrix, as it were) being sent to Judgement Day in 2004 to wipe out the young adult John Connor and his future wife Kate Brewster, as well as see to it that SkyNet does take control and executes the nuclear bombardment.
T3 then should have been SkyNet's third assassination attempt by deploying the polymimetic T-1000 to kill the young kid John Connor in 1994. The heroes in this movie incarnation, having thus successfully destroyed CyberDyne, ensure that the events of the previous two movies will not come to be.
It's a movie trilogy about time-traveling robots. A chronological storytelling need not apply. If taken that the events of 1994 are the central, resolving story, then the formula goes as this: First movie=past. Second movie=future. Third movie=present (which then rectifies the past and erases the future).

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
