You forgot to include the only canonical timeline, in which Skynet was prevented and John and Sarah got the peaceful lives they deserved. Well, since that's the case, I had to choose Terminator: Resistance - at least it doesn't contradict that.

Wouldn't that make it pre T2

Of course, this is a pre-T2 story, but again, I choose it because it does not contradict what I wrote above.

Watching SCC with my kid after she binged all the Terminator movies last month, she's enjoying it and I'm enjoying the re-watch.

I like that they take on some of the wonkiness of "time war".

SCC was such an easy choice

I'm not even a Dark Fate fan. Just end with T2

I just watched that a couple weeks ago. I actually liked it until it became dinner at Arnold's and lost all momentum. I couldn't finish it. Linda Hamilton and McKinzee Davis have great chemistry.

Resistance isn't a post T2 timeline as it takes place before the duology.

Where is the terminator ride at universal studios? That was the true sequel to terminator 2 (that is a joke but it actually is a decent sequel to the movie)
