Alternative Salvation

So me and my roomie saw the new "Terminator". And we couln't avoid questioning the severe lack of logic on few levels in humanity and machines alike. We came up with an alternative ending that might have been more enjoyable. It is quite spoilerous so I advice not to read the following if you plan on seeing the movie.

T-800 is conviniently trapped in metal. John Connor rushes to the motionless body of Marcus Wright. In desperation he grabs two electric cables and tries to resuscitate his fallen friend. Unfortunately T-800 is slowly getting out of his metal case and trying to break free. Sadly for Connor his attemts are futile and he turns in time to get impaled by T-800. T-800 drops the dead body on top of Marcus and requests following procedures for restoring order in the battle ravaged factory.
Outside the Resistance team escorting Kyle Reese and Star looses John Connor's communication signal which informs them of his current deceased state. Barnes calls for immidiate retreat and everyone gets to the choppers. When slightly away from the Skynet Central, Barnes notices Star holding something in her little hands. On his query about it she reveals the detonator to the explosives set by John Connor. She then gently presses the button unleasing a heavy explosion at the base of the Skynet building. It is followed by several smaller explosions leading to the building's destruction.
Instead of an inspiring speech as conclusion we have the following scene: Several years later the Resistance lead by Barnes and Reese is still fighting to free more regions from Skynet's control. Our heroes are gathered at an underground laboratory freed from Skynet. We witness how the pregnant Star and Reese take their farewell. She steps back to stand next to Barnes and Kate Connor. Reese takes a position in the middle of a strange machine which pulsates with energy. Barnes and Kate wish him good luck. By Reese's words on the screen fading we understand that he is on his way to the past to protect our future. And wooohooo we have the movie linked to the privious ones. Unfortunately the producers need to make two more movies so my ending would be rejected...
