The timeline is just so bullshit at this point I can't imagine ever caring again.

The problem is that each movie uses different rules for how time travel works.

The "organics only" rule was contradicted by the T-1000 and T-X.

The first movie was a predestination paradox. John Connor sent Kyle Reese, Kyle Reese is John Connor's father. John Connor is never born to lead the resistance if Skynet hadn't tried to kill Sarah Connor.

The 2nd and 3rd movies say history is iterative. Different iterations of Skynet were created and averted, which delays Judgment Day each time.

Another issue is the bunker John Connor arrives at in T3. This is explained as the reason John leads the resistance because from this location he organized the survivors of Judgement Day. Yet before the T-1000 Lieutenant General Robert Brewster would have been assigned to an unrelated project and killed in that timeline's Judgement Day before achieving his current rank in T3. Or after the T-1000 John doesn't have the connection to Kate Brewster.

Then by Genisys you have characters from the predestination timeline arriving in an altered timeline and new iterations of characters creating other timelines.
