Could Fringe continue even if canceled?

Science Fiction television has so much going against it, always has. The biggest thing is the Nielsen families they use to do the ratings are predominately not science fiction fans. So viewership is going to be skewed right off the top. I know if my house was being surveyed by Nielsen, a lot of science fiction shows would still be on the air. Is my household different? No. But it's a way less geekier to talk about American Idol or Two And Half Men (BTW, two show I DON'T watch).

Advertisers are less willing to sponsor science fiction shows. The whole history and stigma that only a niche crowd will watch keeps the big guns away.

I say let Fox cancel Fringe, and Warner Brothers move it the Syfy channel, or the USANetwork. Somewhere that it can get multiple airings, and targeted to the proper audience. Oh, and let's not forget how Fox moved Fringe to Friday night KNOWING that Friday night is where shows go to DIE.

Guess this is why I don't run the world.... 8:)

SciFriday: Beware Of Tribbles In Next Star Trek Movie

Oprah Winfrey will play a Klingon?

Now, this is an interesting development. Many famous and not so famous actors and actresses have had cameos and guest rolls on all Star Trek movies and television series. Few are of fame and caliber of Oprah Winfrey.

But the article is all about how the smallest rumor can get started by an online post. Then how feverishly fast it goes viral and out of control.

Meg In A Red Shirt? Seth MacFarlane Wants Star Trek




This might be a good thing. While I love Family Guy, I am a long time, die-hard trek fan.  What's more is that was thinking just a few days ago how kool it would be for J.J. Abrams to do a cartoon, and for Seth MacFarlane to do something like Star Trek.  Almost creepy that I would find this article, but hey I could have heard it on the news and thts what gave me the idea.

First Contact Battle Scene

One of the best scenes ever from Star Trek, and certainly one of my favorites. I think it's powerful and inspiring.
