Theory, glorious theory!John Henry's "brother" tried to kill him and also wants Savannah dead. Those are two good reasons for John Henry to want to stop him. So why jump to the future to destroy the AI that's after him and Savannah in the present? Well, I don't think he did. I think John Henry is still in 2009 and after finding out Kaliba's

Well, I think I've said to you before that I never thought that the idea of John Henry going to the future made any sense. Kaliba would be far more powerful in the future than he is in the present, so it's the worst possible way to confront it.

It's hard to know if that's part of a plan by the writers, or if it's just sloppy writing as part of an attempt to create a dramatic game-changing cliffhanger. Some series plan their entire run in advance (Noir, GITS:SAC), some wing it from season to season but have such a great knowledge of their own continuity that everything pieces together well enought to keep people from noticing (Farscape, DS9), and some just make shit up as they go (Lost). "Born to Run" never really struck me as being part of a thorough plan.

You're right that Sarah probably wouldn't want to leave Cameron's endoskeleton and the Turk behind... her whole point of going there was to secure or destroy the Turk and an endoskeleton, after all.

Cameron sure seemed intrigued with Vick's chip when she first pulled it. Maybe

I do remember you saying that before - that JH jumping ahead to meet/fight his brother is illogical. And I totally agree (obviously). Since I'm sticking with that idea - that he didn't jump, I can believe they had a plan and it mostly made sense. We just don't have enough pieces.

Well she didn't know the Turk as there until she got there, but Cromartie's body with a cord coming out of the back it's head was certainly not something to let slide.

Even if Cameron's chip really has left the building in JH's head, leaving an endo around for anyone to find is never a good idea... especially when Ellison knows its location! :P I can't see any reason that she'd hold onto it, though. As soon as she could find some thermite, Cameron's body would be toast.

She no way of knowing at that point that Cromartie's endoskeleton would be delivered
