Closing. "In 'Lord of the Flies', a group of boys slaughter a pig in the jungle.

Following the surprising success of Terminator 2 and its direct sequel Terminator 3, the franchise was taken in a new direction with Terminator Salvation. Set in the distant future, the film focused on Sarah’s son John Connor leading the human resistance against the machine empire created by the AI Skynet.
The Terminator, lacking full access to complete records, was probably just taking a chance based on what it knew about plasma rifles. If Skynet hadn't sent back a Terminator to kill Sarah Connor, Kyle Reese wouldn't have been sent back, and then John Connor wouldn't have been born (at least not the same way).
Of course, Terminator 2's theatrical ending, which most would agree works well, was effectively undone by both Terminator 3 and Terminator: Dark Fate. Both sequels had to find a way to undo Sarah and John Connor's seeming prevention of Judgment Day and Skynet's creation, and that by itself was a major bummer for most fans.
