Number one reminds me of the temporal paradoxes/changes that B&B instituted in the Trek world after "First Contact", as seen in the changed history put forth in "Enterprise"
-------------- Original message -------------- From: Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To answer... 1) Because T4 is being made, some sort of a temporal paradox will occur that forces the events of T3 to come to reality, thus necessitating the existence of T4. 2) Because "Serenity" won't make nearly as much money as a Terminator movie. (Disclaimer- non-sensical ravings of a lunatic mind) Daryle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 1. If there was a Terminator sent back after T2 to protect Sarah and John, then how could most of the events of T3 have happened? 2. If Fox was serious about having Summer Glau in an action series based on science fiction, why not bring Firefly back after the movie. Here comes Fox treating sci-fi people like we¹re idiots born after 1977 again.
