2Pe 3:3 first, knowing this, that during the last days scoffers will come walking according to their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For from which time the fathers fell asleep, all things remain so from the beginning of creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this is hidden from them by their willing it so, that heavens were of old, and earth by water, and through water, having subsisted by the Word of God,
2Pe 3:6 through which the world which then was, being flooded by water, perished.
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth now, having been stored up by the same Word, are being kept for fire to a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:8 But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is “as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Psa. 90:4

2032 A.D. Current Time Kills John Connor

The latest episode (“The Devil’s Hand”) drove it home repeatedly, since there were repeated explicit references to the events of T2 taking place in 1997. Within the series, T2 happened in 1997, when John was 13, and from his POV 2 years have passed since. This isn’t a time-travel change, this is an editorial change

(At least rampant time travel means the possibility that many things of which we and the characters are not even aware have been subtly changed, including perhaps the presence of cancer-causing particles, that would if known make sense of things, lazy as that sounds — just as Star Trek could make all sorts of excuses using their “temporal cold war” if they really wanted to [and weren't simply rebooting the franchise].)

The biggest non-time-travel-related screw-up in the whole Terminator franchise, though, remains the opening narration of T3 in which John thinks the attack in T2 happened when he was thirteen, though he was actually only ten then, since the movie took place around 1994, not in the year of its release, 1991 (and 1991 would have made him three years younger, not older, so I really don’t know where they got thirteen).

If we can let that slide as a mistake on John’s part, I suppose we can also accept randomly-varying cancer rates in different timelines. Not that I want to sound indifferent.

Todd, you explain the “time traveling doctors” but wouldn’t you think Sarah would know something about that at some point between 1995 and 1997?

I do have one other explanation…she never REALLY dies as explained in T3 (fakes her own death) as a cover up as she goes into hiding maybe?? But then she and John would kind of know about that one too…

Again, I expect they’ll rarely mention the 90s again: our heroes are in the present now, where it’s most convenient for the writers to have them, and it’ll probably just be “present-vs.-future,” broadly speaking, from here on out.

Aesthetically, Terminator requires robot assassins in the present and a wasteland in the future, and the precise year that = the present is probably secondary in the writers’ minds (though they haven’t been as cavalier as they could be, happily — strictly speaking, they could just have the present-day characters cause drastic random changes in history by accidentally blowing up a time machine or something, acquire a surefire cancer treatment, completely destroy SkyNet in the present [erasing the familiar future], and move on to stories about a cybernetic teenage John Connor fighting Venusians and international drug gangs, if they really wanted to).
