So in the future JC leads and must have both ways and means for a very badly beaten humanity to over come a very successful SkyNet and growing army of Terminators. This poses some plot angles that have never been covered, like:

1. What could they possibly be - given the huge imbalance of odds that late in the war?

Did they reverse the polarity of Skynet's distributed brain? Did they invent instance rust? They must have had one pretty powerful silver bullet - that worked on a distributed battlefield scenario - like tricking Skynet to use Vista maybe?

2. Why couldn't Skynet send back a terminator to simply pass on the countertactics to eradicate their achilles heel rather than hunt JC down the rabbit hole?

Like the Wizard of Oz - if only the Wicked Witch didn't keep a bucket of water - the only thing that could kill her next to Dorothy - poor, poor thinking! So if Skynet has a "silver bullet" vunerability - why not send a Terminator back to close the loophole? Answer - then you wouldn't have a prolonged chase movie!

3. If you send back a terminator - an infiltrator unit - why not kill someone important like a senior law enforcement offical or world leader and use their resources to hunt down the Connors and/or tear the world apart?

Seriously - how many folk could start a nuclear war, mobilise the CIA or FBI or KGB or GRU and get these guys to further Skynet's agenda far more than a lone gunman?

4. Why doesn't Skynet have a major super-power AI competing against it?

This would make more sense as to why human could eventually win. A three way fight Russian vs American Terminators and their respective AI's - would be enough of a power balancer that humans actions could tip the fight. Without an incredibly powerful equaliser its simply doesn't make sense - the odds against are way too huge - disease, discord, famine, lack of arms, lack of intelligence - no way.
