Once we do, additionally the first two movies seen as a whole is about making your own path because the second film builds Sarah's character into someone, who from the events of the first film, wants to be ready to have John make the changes and decisions he'll have to do to save the world, making his _potential_ fate (and I stress this, because John is rebelling against this idea while his mom is in the nuthouse and he has to make the decision to be this leader) the best possible outcome, which while taking the idea has removed it to the point where they destroy Skynet before it exists. Sarah made the decisions to do this, not had them forced upon her through previous events. The first film ends again with an unknown future based on the idea that history is changed, setting a new path. Which oddly enough does lead into T3 - which nulls the point of saying you cant change events when they ALREADY JUST DID.
Regardless T3 does not return, instead while it does basically says "you have your plate, don't f**king complain about the shit you have to eat because there is nothing you can do to change it" it then contradicts itself. It couldn't be anymore obvious other than the fact that the movie has a specific ending and this is actually said in the film, and that is NOT the same theme as the original or it's own storyline. It appears to be determinism yes, defined from beginning to end, but then contradicted by the fact they send the T-X back to kill people who had existed in it's future, thus changing the path in an event that hadn't originally taken place. Oh yeah, after they'd already changed things once already anyway.
