"You've said this before and others have responded to you before...

He didn't close the door. They have said they wanted Arnie, but he wasn't available and they probably couldn't afford him anyway. And you act as if JF is the one that told McG "no, I don't want to work with you." What if it was the other way around? What if it was mutual? "

"my "take" is that fringe is just about to get alot better. The show was great last night and Walter Bishop is possibly one of the coolest characters ever created. "

"mcg offered JF the T-4 script and he said he didnt want to read it, and didnt want to be influenced by it. and from things he has said it would seem he wanted no connection to the movie version.
also JF has said that he didnt want any previous T actors doing cameos on the show, as some 1 show character. I found this a little stupid.
I think they could have got michael beihn to do a part on this show if they tried.

o yeah I dont like fringe , but adding nimoy will boost the shows ratings and quality, I might even give it another try.
it would have helped in ratings area. and really this show should have considered having some things in common with the movie. for example for people who go see the movie, and they find out they can see the origin , or early days of a character here on tscc, that would boost tscc after tha movie comes out , but by being totally different and no sharing of ideas, it means tscc wont beneifit as much from the movie as it could have.
and thinking about it, I have to wonder why the tv show came on last year, it would have been smarter to wait and just now be airing S-1 of Tscc. "

"I think he underestimated the fan following Terminator has. Basically, the story T5000 said means he thumbed his nose at anything existing that was Terminator, as if it didn't matter - which we know from a promotional stand point is foolish - and now he is out on a limb by himself with no help from the big guns he ALREADY had in his holster and threw away."

This is the short article on EW.com:

"Look at J.J. Abrams using his fancy sci-fi connections.

After collaborating on his upcoming Star Trek reboot, Abrams has signed Leonard Nimoy to join the cast of his Fox baby, Fringe.

The 78-year-old Trek icon will play William Bell, Walter Bishop's former lab partner-turned-millionaire founder of Massive Dynamic.

"It was a delight to work with Mr. Nimoy on Star Trek," J.J. tells me. "The idea that he will play the mysterious, much-referenced William Bell is a thrill. I know I sound like a goofy fan boy, but I can't help it: Leonard is an icon of the genre and such a wonderful actor. To have him come on board Fringe is a mind-blowing honor."

The character is slated to debut in next month's season finale and then return in the fall for an extended arc.

Reaction? Is your inner fanboy on the verge of exploding? Already salivating at the prospect of Nimoy geeking out with John Noble? Stunt value aside, do you think Nimoy is right for the part?"

I alsway thought TSCC should have had Arnold and Hamilton and Patrick do PSA clips inviting people to watch the Terminator TV show. They don't have to endores it, just give some tidbit facts on the past 25 years.

I also think JF closed out a lot of powerful people that could have helped - like McG with T4/TSCC cross promotion - even on only a watch Terminator on TV + movies angle, since rights to the franchise are owned by same people. I think this was a huge mistake.

What's your "take?"
"

"Arnold being the "hot shot" governor of Ca. I'm sure has more "important" things to do than publicity stunts for TV shows. He's moved on to "better things".

And Battle, I think fox stopped advertsing bc they lost faith in JF presenting a show that matched with what they thought they'd baught. I'm sure they didn't okay millions to be spent on three eps of crazy Sarah emo introberted melodrama. But I don't have any proof of this other than the commercials they did make, and the images and photos on their web pages and what they released for public viewing.

I think JF sprung the emo eps on them and they had no choice but to run them: their promo was already long ago developed from what had come down the line when they signed up to run the show.

We can see that was scary robot Cam shooting, crazy Sarah loading her guns, defending, attacking...action, adventure. That's a lot of what we are getting now, but I don't know if it isn't too late to make a difference."
