How did the model 101 know when and where Legion terminators were going to appear?
Legion and Skynet are two separate AIs, so while I understand that the 101 that killed John Connor no longer had to obey it's mission after Skynet was erased from future existence, I don't see how one of Skynet's products could have any info on Legion's plans.

I can't find the exact quote, but the T-800 mentions that it can detect "temporal displacements" which let him calculate the exact time and location a Terminator would appear. Then Sarah interrupts him and says "That explains the 'how' but not the 'why'." That's pretty much all the movie does to explain it.

How did Carl know where the Terminators would be?
Carl gets the coordinates by sensing arrivals. I don't remember the exact details. Carl tells us that any chrono distortion (ie time travel) creates a shockwave that can be detected before the event in much the same way as the ice or static electricity on the objects near an imminent arrival site.Does Legion know about Skynet?

The T-800 in Dark Fate is not the same T-800 seen in 1994's T2: Judgment Day. In Dark Fate, the T-800 played by Schwarzenegger's is a stray sent back in time by Skynet. It's still programmed to John Connor, even though Sarah Connor's actions in T2 prevented the creation of Skynet.You \u0026 Your Terminator - A Guide to Generic Legion Terminators
