Although this could still, theorietically, be where it begins... John Connor became the leader and inspiration of the Risistance when he helped Derek and Kyle escape from a labour camp, didn't he? Maybe that's about to happen now, only John is rather younger than we all suspected...
I guess it could happen indeed, but this John is still a kid, much younger than we were told in the Terminator mythology, so basically they changed the future.
I didn't realise until thinking about it later that night, but the reason the character Summer played was petting the dog in the final scene was to prove she's human, not a Terminator - Allison not Cameron, in other words.
It's funny because the clue struck me immediately and first I thought it was a bit feeble, making a point like that with a convenient dog petting! Later I realised that they could have kept the ambiguity, with a dogless scene but, even more than the audience getting she was actually Allison, John had to see that she was NOT his Cameron. After all he ran after John Henry because of her. The scene was all about him, about his emotional reactions to the people showing up around him and about the loss he felt, about everything falling apart or so it seemed.
