"Just read it, and it's confirmation of what he said in the io9.com interview. WB/Halcyon isn't interested in taking this version of the Terminator story any farther. Moreover it seems that outside of bribing FOX to get the back 9 (and therefore prevent negative buzz for months before T4's release), they haven't done anything for the benefit of the show, no shopping to Cable networks, no pitches, nothing. WB doesn't want to sell TSCC anymore. They've decided to focus on the movies and media related to that.

Or at least, they DID, before T4 was a disappointment. If most of the fan clamor from the Terminator fanbase is for TSCC they'll do something. When, of course, is the obvious question. But it is clear from JF's interviews that if WB does something in the near future, he won't be a part of it unless they ask really nicely.

This does mean one thing though: yes, go to see the movie, but if you want TSCC to be the focus of the franchise rather than T4, that means no T4 merchandise buys. No action figures, no T-shirts, no lunchboxes. Yes, buy the DVD, but that's it. Why? Because we've got to make TSCC somehow more profitable for WB than T4 in some way. If T4 is only getting revenue really from the movie and nothing else, this helps our cause."

"hmm, the picture I'm forming based on his past veiled comments, his recent venting blog post, now this interview is that WB didn't really care very early on. WB's behaviour looks like: Support TSCC as an ad for T4; TSCC turned into something else WB didn't predict and didn't want to financially support; WB hoped TSCC would quietly die.

Yep, I like this conspiracy."

"Which I started to believe when they tied in TSCC cancellation with the premiere of T4. They basically told TSCC fans in their press release sorry TSCC was canceled but now go see T4.

Now I wonder if all of the hate towards Fox was really warranted."

"Star Trek became a huge hit in syndication when Kaiser Broadcasting, a UHF network based in 5 cities, began broadcasting the series at 7PM instead of news and it took off. From there the fan conventions followed, and Trek wound up being resurrected from the dead after 10 years. In this case, fan demand got the studio back on the wagon, and from there the ball started rolling again. If we want the TSCC story to continue, we have to do the same."

"Fox is really the only place where I've directed my anger, but I can only justify that up to a point. It's showbusiness. Showbusiness is harsh and doesn't give a lot of chances, especially not second chances.

TSCC was a show geared toward a certain type of audience. Though I think that it touches on universal issues, a lot of people don't wanna examine those issues. As BAG said, Josh was not interested in dumbing the show down for people. Unfortunately in the neverending battle of art vs. industry, industry always wins. And TSCC is one of the casualities."

"Not really. Only problem is that most of the movie fans have never seen the tv show and therefor bash it, as they never seen it want to see a big guy acting like he was simple like the movie fans, not speaking much instead of a good show."

"Guilty, but I wasn't bashing "the show" though. I was bashing because the multitude of boring lame-ass TV "entertainment" had turned me off TV completely.

What happened to TSCC just strengthens my earlier attitude. There is something about TV that kills off interesting shows and keep useless ones going forever."
