Is this the "Funny Fucker" Kid? by savagexp	Dec 7th, 2006 11:24:29 AM
you know, the episode with the non-fat yogurt and Jerry cusses out the kid?

Claire's recurring confidant..? by AdrianVeidt	Dec 7th, 2006 11:32:16 AM
If my memory serves me correctly, that boy-o had his memory wiped clean at dear old dad's request. Which would suggest he will not be making it out of this season, I should think. But yeah, this works. He's actually a pretty good actor, and with the right direction would make an excellent John Connor.
Gotta love what Seinfeld has done to our pop culture... by TheSeeker7	Dec 7th, 2006 11:35:54 AM
Yep, gotta love "the Sein". savagexp, that was the very first thing that I also thought of and was about to post back of, pointing out which episode he was in. "This yogurt is SO FUCKIN' GOOD!!" "Jerry!" "umm... ohhhh..."
Yah. by radio1_mike	Dec 7th, 2006 11:35:59 AM
Just as long as they get rid of that, "There's Something About Mary" hairdo.
No he was the kid in the hospital... by supermarch	Dec 7th, 2006 11:36:25 AM
...who wanted some Yankee to hit 3 home runs. Or 2. I forget, but that was him. Then Kramer gets him the autographed card by accident.
ahh... supermarch, I think you're right by TheSeeker7	Dec 7th, 2006 11:37:09 AM
Yea my bad, I don't think he was yogurt boy after all. I believe you got it, he was the same episode as Paul O'Neill.

From the looks of his hair, he's getting ready to play Alexander Bumstead.
100 Sarah Conners... by modlight	Dec 7th, 2006 11:59:01 AM

You intentionally put up a bad picture of him... by DanielKurland	Dec 7th, 2006 11:59:26 AM
He does a fine job on Heroes, and I wish he had played the "Funny fucker" kid, as opposed to the "Paul O'Neil kid".

SOMEONE should buy the folks at Fox a calculator... by skynetbauxi	Dec 7th, 2006 12:09:21 PM
in T2, John Connor is 10 years old. the story of T2 is set in 1994, 3 years before Judgment Day (which, in that timeline, is August 29th, 1997). in T3, we find out that Sarah Connor died in 1997. so how can this series be about Sarah and FIFTEEN YEAR OLD John??? John would be 15 in 1999, and Sarah would be dead by that time! then again, in T3 John tells us that he was 13 years old in T2 (which is a blatant case of retcon, but the screenwriters thought that no-one would notice). if we accept that, the timeframe of the series does make sense, but it still seems kinda stupid that Sarah and John would get attacked by Terminators on a weekly basis.
Eyeliner by Doggus47	Dec 7th, 2006 12:15:07 PM
That's gotta be eyeliner. He must be big in the William H. Macy in "Happiness" demographic.
Bad picture... by Sledge Hammer	Dec 7th, 2006 12:24:45 PM
But he was pretty good in Heroes actually, in a rather unrewarding and thinly written role to boot. That said, John Connor age logic has been totally assfucked ever since Mostow took it upon himself to decide that the facts of the previous Terminator films didn't matter (I mean seriously, what does James Cameron know anyhow, right?) and no one would give a shit if he changed the established facts while doing Terminator 3 (and if he truly thought that no one would give a shit then why bother to change it to begin with? Idiot.). Yeah, managed to fuck your career and your credibility right into the ground with them smart choices of yours, didn't you Mostow? Good work with that.
TOO SOON!! by Pageiv	Dec 7th, 2006 12:35:55 PM
So is Connor already a slacker?
Nice turn on House by greyspecter	Dec 7th, 2006 12:39:11 PM
playing a duplicitous faith-healer with herpes. Did a pretty good job in that, had good self-assurance and intensity, more so than the unwashed geek in Heroes. Somewhere in between needs to be where JC should begin, but he needs to grow a pair fast, else how could he lead a world revolution? T3's version was a bit too panty-waisted for me, was hoping more for grizzled-ness. Not that i'll watch the show. ever.
So Zach is out of Heroes? NO!!! by MrFloppy	Dec 7th, 2006 12:47:43 PM
NO!!!
He was also in by BizarroJerry	Dec 7th, 2006 12:53:41 PM
"Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show". A fact that I recalled because I used partially watch that show cuz the mother was hawt...
That's a cute guy by aestheticity	Dec 7th, 2006 12:56:18 PM
I'd fuck him if he wore a dress
John Connor age logic by skynetbauxi	Dec 7th, 2006 12:58:35 PM
it's not really Mostow's fault. I mean, he's the director, but he didn't write it. according to IMDB, the guys to blame would be John D. Brancato, Michael Ferris and Tedi Sarafian. :) however, since the day I saw T3, I've also been wondering if someone had really fucked up, or if maybe someone had been such a clever geekish sci-fi-writer that most poeple just didn't get it. I mean, the story (and revealed backstory) of T3 is clever. that even in T2, Skynet hadn't just tried to kill John himself, but also to prevent John from falling in love with Kate, because their children would become important in the Resistance. then, years later, Skynet tried the same thing, the day that John and Kate meet for the second time. now if only there wasn't that matter with John's age. but maybe the writers didn't really fuck this up, but it was really John and Sarah who fucked up the timeline! after all, at the end of T2, they seriously changed the future by destroying the chip and arm that would lead to the creation of Skynet (I). Skynet (II) did get created anyway (maybe Cyberdyne had some backups or something), but the whole Judgment Day thing was postponed several years, so EVERYTHING in this new timeline must be totally different to the original future from T1 and T2. who knows, maybe Kyle Reese's parents were killed during the rise of the machines, and the Resistance sent someone completely different back in time to save Sarah and to become the father of John Connor. this would not only explain why John looks different in T3, but it could also explain the age difference, if Skynet (II) simlpy decided to kill Sarah 3 years before Skynet (I) had. wow, I'm actually starting to like this theory. :)
IS ANYONE FORGETTING ABOUT THIS KID... by JBouganim	Dec 7th, 2006 01:00:27 PM
I THINK EVERYONE IS FORGETTING THAT THIS KID PLAYED THE LITTLE GAY KID ON HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS ON TV. EVERYTIME I WATCHED THAT SHOW (NOTHING ELSE AT 6 AM ON WB) BESIDES THINKING ABOUT THAT HOT ASS MOM ON THE SHOW, I WOULD SAY DAMN THIS KID IS GONNA BE A HOMO. SOME LINKS TO WHAT THIS KID LOOKED LIKE: http://members.tripod.com/regg iezippo1/e6b80af0.jpg AND FOR A VIDEO OF THIS KID NOT LIKING GIRLS FROM HISTK: http://youtube.com/watch?v=81x NnavRbgk I LOVE TERMINATOR..DAMN A GAY CONNOR THAT IS GAY
Why not... by MetiphisLabs	Dec 7th, 2006 01:19:55 PM
Make a series called "Get Out" based on the victims thrown from vehicles in the past three films and there subsequent recoveries as they get their lives back on track and come to terms with carjacking robots.
Ummm... by Fawst	Dec 7th, 2006 01:19:55 PM
IT'S A FRANCHISE ABOUT KILLER ROBOTS TRAVELING THROUGH TIME TO KILL THE LEADER OF THE RESISTANCE AGAINST SKYNET. And you're worried about his fucking AGE? Wow.
Fawst by skynetbauxi	Dec 7th, 2006 01:31:21 PM
no matter how fantastic a story may be, it still needs to be CONSISTENT, or it stops working

So...I dont get it. Will there be terminators? by Mike_D	Dec 7th, 2006 02:11:20 PM
I'm still a little confused at this concept. I dont know..I'll have to see the pilot.
Gay John by blackwood	Dec 7th, 2006 02:13:46 PM
Makes sense. If you can't help the dwindling human population by breeding, the only other responsible choice is to become the leader of the revolution. I want some gay genre pieces - gay superheros, gay dragonslayers, gay monsters - Brokeback Mountain would have been totally more better if they were werewolves. Also, DAMN YOU RACHEL RAY = lol.

Can't believe this actually got this far. by gammaknight	Dec 7th, 2006 03:24:02 PM
I never, ever thought this would be a go from that blurb a few months back. I'm cautiously optomistic that it could retain the spirit of the movies/books/comics and give us something that hopefully isn't just superfluous noise. I actually loved Terminator 3, if anyone can believe that. Hopefully this will turn into something good.
I GUESS the age thing is a valid point... by Fawst	Dec 7th, 2006 03:27:50 PM
But seriously, does anyone think this WON'T fail? The present day story of Skynet and the Connors is stale. The end of T3 moved us beyond it. Why take a step back in time to have this series when you could move forward and get on with the future (a theme that was very strong throughout the films)? I have to say, the ending of T3 knocked me on my ass. I thought it was the most powerful scene of all three films. My point? It sucks to have that be the final image of the Terminator series, and now we have to move backwards to this. Blah.
Good choice by jimmy_009	Dec 7th, 2006 03:29:21 PM

...geeks should never harp on athletic types for their latent homosexual tendencies. Given the opportunity you'd all gay out in a big way. Just not with each other. Well at least you have standards. I see no need for this series. The Sega Genesis game provided me with more than enough closure on all things Terminator.
Harry & kid in shit-filled diaper during "Hulk" by Badger999	Dec 7th, 2006 03:51:05 PM
In short, this show concept sounds like a loose-stool poop-fest to me. What's next? "Dude, Where's My Terminator?" or "Terminators on a Plane?"
No that's not the "funny fucker kid" by THE REAL DOC WAGNER JR.	Dec 7th, 2006 03:53:22 PM

wouldn't sarah die at the end of season 2? I guess it'd be great for sweeps tho..
As has been stated -- NOT the Funny Fucker. by savagexp	Dec 7th, 2006 03:57:04 PM
Definitely the sick kid who wants multiple home runs from Paul O'Neil. But to me, he'll still looks like a funny fucker.
Its a stupid concept to be filmed as cheap as they can. by Uncapie	Dec 7th, 2006 04:27:39 PM
He has a female teen sidekick that's sent from the future to be his protector. He, the teen and Sarah are being pursued by another Terminator and leave via a time travelling device 1997 arriving in, get this, 2007. Naked, of course in the middle of a freeway. During rush hour. I shit you not.

Did you see the films? Only living matter will transport through time (I don't know why - I didn't build the fucking thing). However now that you mention it, if they can cheat the system simply by covering a terminator in living tissue, why not do that with the weapons, tanks etc? Sounds like a good idea to me.

Clea DuVall is now a Terminator-Heroes link by Drath	Dec 8th, 2006 05:34:51 PM
She played with T3 John Connor (Nick Stahl) in Carnivale, and she's also in Heroes which co-stars this new John Connor. This may be nuts but can they get Clancy Brown to play a Terminator? Kurgan as the Terminator would kick ass, even if he is old now. Kai_Mah'gra, uh, wouldn't John Connor's father Reese also be made of living matter, hence how he travelled back in time when only living matter can time-travel? You must really not have watched the first movie to be questioning all this. Do kids actually not watch that movie now? I might have been a child of the 80s, but of course I watched Planet of the Apes and 2001 and Soylent Green etc.
