Which goes right back to their factoring in whether it would be
economically feasible to keep carrying the show until the movie
was released.

And if that happened, FOX being crazy or not crazy is beside the
point. If Warner makes it economically viable to keep the show
going, FOX will do it. But FOX wouldn't care about whether the
movie is the reason for a better deal from Warner. All that is
just Warner's concern.
