Sending Reese back in time to save Sarah was pointless

Also, whatever boy child Sarah gave birth to, would become the savior of humanity. It just so happened that Reese was that guy. Although it could have been any dude to get Sarah knocked up. Otherwise, The Machines would have sought out Reese as well. Instead, it focused on assassinating Sarah.
In Genysis, something very different happens. I think Sarah goes back into time to save Reese. Is that right? -

While Sarah saves Reese in Genysis, she doesn't travel across time. Sarah knew where Reese would be because Guardian told her.
Oh, my

"Karl Aksel" is still/again here.
Thanks for bumping that, Knuti.

Not really, there’s no guarantee any changes to the past would be instantaneous. It’s entirely possible that the past is occurring concurrently with the present, so say the Terminator arrives in the past and it takes two days for it to find and kill Sarah Connor.
Of course it's instantaneous. Let's say you send someone back in time to do something. You send him back to 1964, Jan. 5th. He doesn't finish his job until Jan. 18th. Meanwhile, you are sitting comfortably in 2022. Both Jan. 5th and Jan. 18th 1964, and all dates in between, have already happened. No matter how much time passes in the past, it's all in the past - time passing in the past has already happened. -

It obviously doesn’t have to happen in an instant, because time isn’t linear like that. What is happening in the past is still actually happening. There is no “past, present, future” in reality, but that’s dealing with real world physics.
Going by the logic of the film, it’s clear that the past is its own separate stage that is occurring parallel to the present, and affecting it every step of the way. Once the Terminator stepped through the Time Displacement Equipment, everything it did in the past that affected the future was occurring at a similar pace. So let’s say the Terminator kills Sarah/John Connor about 48 hours after it traveled back in time. That means in the future that John Connor would have exploded into goo 48 hours later after the Terminator went through the TDE. Obviously the scientists knew that they still had “time” to fight this time travel, so to speak.
Anyway, sending Kyle Reece back into the past was necessary anyway because without it then John Connor wouldn’t exist in the first place.

Doesn't matter, it would still be perceived as happening instantaneously. For example:
Today, May 5th 2025 at precisely 21:00, we send someone back in time to paint the White House green. We send them back to January 20th 1981. Now, whether they spend one day on the job, ten days, ten weeks, ten months, ten years, hell, 40 years, what colour is the White House on May 5th at 21:00? It's green - and has been for some time. At no point in the present will anyone have cause to say, "they're still working on it". Either they succeeded, or they failed. And this would be known the very instant the painters were sent back in time. -

No, you’d see the White House turn from white to green before your very eyes…

Took long enough to get a response.
Plus I’m pointing out how Kyle had to go there to meet and conceive the future resistance leader.

Since they were able to send Reese back in time, that can only mean one thing: the T-800 only affected an alternate timeline, not the one Reese was originally from. Since in the original timeline Connor could send Reese back in time, that is proof positive that the original timeline was unaffected by Skynet's time-travelling schemes. So why bother sending Kyle back in time? From the resistance's perspective, either the T-800 failed, or it possibly succeeded in a different timeline. Either way, we are in a timeline when Connor is still very much alive, thank you very much. And why should we worry about any timelines other than our own?
Huh

You have completely lost the plot and just babbled incessantly in order to make it more complex than it really is.
The Resistance didn’t have time to sit around and debate whether or not it would only affect their timeline or another divergent one. They saw the T-800 going through the time portal, they sent Kyle Reese in immediately after it. Simple story.
It’s also explicitly shown that it’s all one timeline because the picture Sara Connor takes of herself in Mexico is the same one that John Connor gives to Reese. -

John should have sent himself back.
Then he could have ****ed his mom and conceived himself.
Even if he gets killed he will show up later anyway.
How wack is that?
