Nitpicker notes:

1: The actual date of entry for the Connors into 2007 is assumed to be 10 September 2007. FBI feed of the bank scene marked the date is 9-10-99. The jump scene from the pilot didn't show a change of month or day, only the year. This also corresponds with road sign that stated there would be construction from 09-03-07 to 09-24-07.

2: S1,E3 "The Turk" Tarissa Dyson states its the tenth anniversary of Miles Dysons death. The actual events of T2, originally figured to happen in the summer of 1995. Both T3 and TSCC change John's age at that time from 10 to 13, so a time adjustment would have to happen. S1,E3 resets the date to approximately 15 September 1997 and it is assumed to be such for this fiction.

3: S2,E2 "Automatic for the people" used a phone code that marked the date two days after John's Birthday as 16 November. That means the timeline used for the series has John's birthday as 14 November 1983. This removes certain continuity issues, such as Kyle Reese being sent back in 2007 rather than 2009 (as established by the first movie) and John's original birthday being February 28, 1985, which would have made him 14 at the time of the pilot. This fiction will use the timeline of 14 November 1983 as the date of John's Birthday.

4. S2,E2 "Automatic for the people" introduces the character Kacey Corbin who is 7 months along in her pregnancy on November 15, 2007. No show showing her as still pregnant will be dated further than January 15, 2008, or two weeks later if she has a late pregnancy.

5. The date of S2E4 Allison from Palmdale is assumed to be November 24, 2007.

6. As is being increasingly noted in the series, the timeline is shifting and events in the present are changing the future and sometimes the past. Here's a thread I attempted to explain this with for those curious few that would really wish to read it: http://terminatorwiki.fox.com/thread/1886266/Terminator+Temporal+Wars+101

7. Events do not perfectly match the last half of Season Two. As you might have guessed, this is a slightly different timeline.
