I never bothered watching T3. What the hell happened in that film again?
They tried to prevent Skynet from starting the war, but they failed. Um, and some other stuff happend.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Luckily, my friend just explained it an LJ comment!
I can't remember much of T3, 'cause it sucked. But Skynet got built anyway (I don't remember how), and Sarah Connor died before the movie. John meets his future wife (Claire Danes). A lot of lame things happen. Then, at the end, they're in a military installation and the nuclear war starts.
I didn't think it was that bad, myself.

Thrive to spite them
If I remember correctly Skynet gained sentience took over the internet and was every where so there was no way to stop Skynet. John Connor is saved because the Terminator comes from the future and makes sure he and Claire Danes get into the bunker. So he can send his Dad from the future to save his past self (and I guess to send the TErminator back again).

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Sarah Connor died before the movie.
Hahaha. So this time-travel to 2007 is a giant "screw you" to the whole T3 storyline then. AWESOME. I imagine the episode tonight would address this whole possible death issue.

Yeah, I think the hand-waviness is "the future is not set in stone" or somesuch, so that "Sarah Connor died" timeline was one possible future and it ended up that something else happened.
Um. Maybe.

Well, in the movie, she died of leukemia, and people have noted that she just shot a radioactive weapon.

Ooh. Good point. The magic red glowey isotope saved her!
Also, maybe she will die anyway, but since she traveled into the future (our present) just means she'll die a few years from now.

Our wings are not tired.
Time travel is one of the bestest things. Killing Sarah Connor was wrong.

Also, with all the Skynet terminators and resistance terminators flying back and forth in time, you'd think someone could come up with better strategies than "Kill John Connor" and "Protect John Conner."
I hope they don't do too much time travel. I have a feeling the time travel is something that's better not to think too much about.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Also, point of trivial interest, I have a friend who just got married and now her name is... Sarah Connor. I just... I'm a little jealous, I have to fess up.
I'm a little jealous of our Laura, for a similar reason.
I don't think T3 is the worst movie ever. The competition for that is so fierce and includes Highlander II. The main problem with T3 was that the first two movies were so good that it seemed pale and silly in comparison.
