Notes[]

T2jd-johnconnordob-film-1
  • The year 1995 is strongly implied by John's police file, which states that he was born on 28 February 1985 and is now 10 years old, as well as the fact that it is summertime. However, this is contradicted by the T-800's later statement that Cyberdyne System will become the largest supplier of military computer systems in 3 years, which only would make sense if it is 1994.
  • In the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day, John Connor is born in 1985 and he is 10-year-old in the film, which makes the event in T2 in 1995. However there seems to be an error as the T-800 was sent from 2029, but it stated it is sent "35 years from now", making the event in T2 in 1994. Additionally, the T-800 mentioned that Cyberdyne becomes the nation's largest supplier of military computer systems "in three years" and that Skynet goes online in 1997, also making events in T2 in 1994. However, it is also possible that the T-800 was rounding up in its estimation.
  • The novelization of Terminator 2: Judgment Day gives the latter date specifically as "June 9, 1992, Sunday," despite the fact that June 9 is not a Sunday in 1992 nor 1995 (it is a Sunday in 1991 and 1996). Note that the script/novel writers made the same mistake in The Terminator, setting the weekdays on the dates when the script was written instead of when it takes place.
  • In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (set in June 2003 [novelization and timeline in DVD extra] or 2004 [on-screen HUD]), John Connor states that T2JD event took place "ten years ago", which would set the film in 1993 or 1994. However, the feature in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines DVD states that T2 events happened on June 8–9, 1995.[4]
  • According to Terminator: Infinity, the T2JD events happened on August 11, 1995.[11]
  • According to the back-story of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the T2JD events happened on June 8 to 9, 1997.[7][12]
