Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Terminator the Series

I'm surprised ratings don't automatically count DVR views.  But then I guess you can't count on anybody watching commercials when they DVR.  I sure don't.

To counter that trend they're switching to product placement.  I've noticed more natural product placement recently.  On Smallville they did an AcuView thing a year or so back that was just cringe-worthy.  I think Chloe had dirty contacts and ended with the line "Acuview to the rescue!"  I almost puked.  You could tell the actress had to struggle to even spit the line out.  But last week Jimmy Olsen and Green Arrow were talking about how Jimmy's career experiences weren't exactly the sort of thing you punch in to CareerBuilder.com and it came across as something people would say in regular conversation.  They got their plug in without detracting at all from the show.  The Office does a really good job of that as well.  But for something like Terminator you'd be challenged, especially if the series moves to the future.

Reading the Origins link, it sounds like he might be his half-brother.  I didn't pick up on the whole "groundskeeper was Wolverine's real father" vibe when I read the comics initially.  Apparently neither the groundskeeper nor the plantation owner had Wolverine's healing ability... thought I thought they hinted the plantation owner had claws.  It was a long time ago that I read it, but I thought he said something about revealing a family secret to Wolverine, but he died before he had the chance.

Was Sabertooth ever Wolverine's brother in the comics?  I didn't think that was ever the case.

Weren't there two different and opposing Deadpool endings?  What I read was:

  • Version 1:  Ryan Reynolds walks up and pulls the head of Weapon XI out of the rubble (XI was a clone)
  • Version 2:  Weapon XI's body breaks out of the rubble and recovers his head

I don't know that both of those are confirmed, though.  If the first was real then a spin-off would be easy.

It's not a flash forward, though.  He's imagining it as he's talking to Sarah about the war, IIRC.

I saw a new and different trailer in front of Crank 2.  It was mostly instrumental.  Very little dialog.  Big focus on the meteorites crashing from space.  New footage of the huge 2-wheeled robot transforming and smashing up a factory or towers of some sort.

We're all aware it's not possible.  Logically John Connor had to exist before Reese went back in time.  But the only way that the photo of Sarah Connor exists for Reese to fall in love with is if he went back in time and impregnated her.  It's a plot hole.  And you can't explain it away by claiming it was a similar photo.  It is what it is... a flaw.

It wasn't a similar photo, it was the same exact photo.  And it's impossible that Sarah Connor would have been driving through the desert pregnant with John at that exact moment the photo was taken had she not already survived the attack by the T-800.  She'd be a waitress.  The only possible conclusion is that John Connor was always Reese's son.  And that's just a huge plot hole that can't be logically resolved.

It was the same exact photo that was taken at the end of T1.  Hence, the future Reese came from contained that photo.  Hence John Connor was always his son.

Don't read the "TV News: April 29th 2009" link up at Dark Horizons today... pretty huge spoilers.   >:(

Essentially, a "John Conner", son of Sarah Conner, had to exist in order for T-1 to take place.  I can be debateable as to whether the John Conner who sent back Reese is the same as the one that Sarah is pregnant with at the end of T-1.  Myself, I would say it is impossible since Reese would never have gone back in time without John sending him.

That's one of my big problems with things.  If it's a different John Connor... 75% genetically different... how could he be just as successful leading the resistance?  He's a whole other person.  Skynet already succeeded in killing John Connor by preventing his conception.  I guess the new John Connor was pretty effective himself, but it makes you look at things in a whole different way.

And I've just thought of a big fly in the ointment...

How could Reese have the photo of Sarah Connor that was taken with her pregnant with his child?  That photo he fell in love with?  It was the same exact photo that was taken at the end of the film.  That photo could only exist after he went back in time.  So that would be indicative of a circular time loop... Reese was always the father of John Connor.  The photo proves it.

It never fails that when it gets hot, I get sick.

I hope I didn't get Anthony Daniels sick.   :-\

I'm much more interested in seeing that film now...   ;D

Looks like they're going for a much more stylized Old West.  I don't know for certain, but I don't think the dancers back then had spaghetti string panties...
