We were told up front that TSCC is derived from the T1 and T2 stories and that no tie ins were intended for T3 and T4. One of the wiki members described TSCC as being on a different timeline.

Having acknowledged this, is it possible nevertheless to fit the TSCC story in such that it is compatible with all the movies so far?

If I knew the show would be permanently canceled at the close of Season 2, I would write Born to Run differently. My goal would be to have it not be so open ended and to allow the viewers some better sense of closure to the whole story. Of course there are many ways to do this. This is just one idea:

In Born to Run, the three dots are revealed to refer to John Henry, with the dots themselves appearing on the Turk 2 box. John Henry is confirmed as a key opponent to the most recent Skynet, which appears to have developed from the Kaliba AI.

Kaliba AI had hacked into John Henry and has been trying to destroy him, at first by taking over John Henrys Cromartie body and using it to attack Turk 2 in John Henrys equipment rack and also by sending terminators back to attack or replace Dr. Sherman (Rosie the pretzel girl), Ellison (Ellison term), and possibly the original Weavers, as well as John Henry himself (Water Guy term).

Wells, the Resistance time traveler who wrote the bloody wall, listed Skynet terminator missions primarily by target (Sherman, Greenway, Fields, etc.) and included the three dots to signify John Henry.

Since Sarah had been searching for the three dots for most of Season 2, I went back to identify when they appeared on Turk 2. Heres what I found:

Key elements in Born to Run:

Murch tells Weaver that John Henry is specific hardware dependent.
------ In my opinion, this is bad science. But I think it foreshadows some unknown change in John Henry later when he is downloaded into Cams chip. Eliminate.

Agent Aldridge tells Sarah that Danny Dyson has been missing.
------ This is a sign that the Kaliba AI has grown powerful enough that its developer, Danny, would want to shut it down and was killed as a result. Its a clue for Sarah that the Kaliba AI can be found through Terissa Dyson, Miles' widow. Retain.

Cam has John cut open her chest and touch her power source.
------ This too seems to be bad science, but since such power sources do not exist yet, I cannot criticize the scenes methodology. Good to see them together in bed. Retain.

Cam breaks Sarah out of jail.
------ Cams body takes too much damage during this jailbreak. If Sarah stays in jail, they would give her the medical care she needs. She is better off in jail. Eliminate.

Weaver destroys the Water Guy terminator.
------ Shows Weavers superiority. Retain.

The HK prototype crashes into Weavers office.
------ The HK prototype bore no weapons. It would be better to have it return and fight in a different scene with armaments. Eliminate.

Cam gives her chip to John Henry.
------ This effectively ends Cams story, at least for now, although it does provide for the survival of her intellect. Eliminate.

John Henry jumps to the future with Cams chip.
------ It seems this is a way to escape the Kaliba AI. But they abandon the present. Eliminate.

Weaver and John jump to the future.
------ Weaver returns home, escaping the Kaliba AI in the present and having completed her mission of developing John Henry. They will fight Skynet in the future but allow Judgment Day. Eliminate.
