I totally think it'd be awesome! It's kind of interesting to think of Finch's machine as the anti-Skynet actually, rather than what turns into Skynet -- it's programmed fundamentally to look for and warn against Bad Things happening. Assuming it gains a bit of sentience, I wonder if it would disapprove of Skynet's mission to exterminate humans.. Kinda like how they were trying to get John Henry to understand and value humanity.
Though thinking about it, I'm not quite sure what to do about the timeline. This is the second-most-timey-wimey 'verse ever, so it's not like I couldn't put JD after 2011, but Derek and Kyle should still be born before JD. Which means either they'd have to be conceived and born like, Right Now, or John already has them. Somewhere. (like I dunno, if it would work if Jessica is actually alive - like she faked her death to protect Derek from John and his bad company he kept).
