Dumb move on Fringe. I hope the former Deal or No Deal model can act.

¨DAYBREAKERS¨ sounds like another take on ¨I AM LEGEND¨, there´s nothing fresh about it, it´s been told and retold dozens of times, it´s either vampires or zombies, or Zombie-Vampires!....They should just do a good restructured remake of Tobe Hooper´s¨LIFEFORCE¨, or better yet, ¨SPACE VAMPIRES¨, a more loyal and attached version to the Colin Wilson novel instead.

I'm still hoping they can get I am legend right finally, the best one so far was last man on earth.

I'm confused... Fringe fires one actor only to replace him with a another model turned actor.
I can only assume that she is being paid far less than Kirk Acevedo. I hate when shows hire models because they are current "hot" thing.
