The Republic/Imperial Commando book series. As much as people loath Karen Traviss in the Star Wars Circles, I really wanted this series to end. As it is, Imperial Commando 2 is nowhere to be seen, and probably never will be either.
I too absolutely love Karen Traviss, and I hope she keeps writing despite people's feelings over Fett and other things. Just remember people, Fett wasn't even an ancillary character to begin with, just a dude in cool armor that more or less equated: EXTRA.
Besides, Traviss actually gave him some form of personality as well as giving clones a chance to have some humanity.

aw love those books and I've read a ton of star wars books. Been putting off reading 501st so far though.

the BBC series Sherlock. anyone who watched it will know what i'm talking about, three episodes was waaaay too short for it, and that cliffhanger...
absolutely wonderful series.

hoping the web comic headbutt to the face continues for a long while.

The Gaunt's Ghosts novel's though certain they will continue, almost as certain about the stardoc novels. Hmm just found out Tom Lloyd's Twilight Reign series, is ending on the 5th book, and yay the library has the 4th on order. Hopefully more stuff in the Xeelee Sequence from stephen baxter. Would love more sci-fi like ilium and hyperion from dan simmons.

hopefully the hunter x hunter and nana mangas get continued at some point

Sad to hear flashforward was canceled, I like what I've seen of dead like me.
torchwood! and I'm sure many more tv series. would love to have a chance to watch the legend of calamity jane again.

a rogue squadron 4 would be nice, even if the first is still my favorite.
more valkyrie profile!
a valkyria chronicles on a ps3 again.
a second einhander not bloody likely but would be nice.
more turn based front mission.
more suikoden!
Mirror's edge 2

and thank you almost forgot about the reboot stuff.

Heroes, maybe I didn't love it but I did enjoy it and it sucks that it got cancelled.

Half the reason it's views went down so far was because they were releasing it in other countries much later than in the US so all us from Europe and other areas just watched it online instead.

Here's an SG1 fan speaking; I really don't like the added drama. It desperately wants to go the Battlestar Galactica way (which is one of my favourite shows of all time) with deep characters and complex drama and the likes, but if you ask me that just doesn't really fit with the Stargate universe. I adore SG1 for it's delicious B-movie feel, pulpy and fun with the occasional touching heroics.

SG:U kicks all of that out of the door and tries really hard to be something else, so hard it feels very forced to me. The first episode episode alone made me wonder what the hell they're doing. Less than an hour in the series and someone we hardly know heroically sacrifices himself? Everyone's shocked and touched and whatnot, but what I just met the guy, what am I supposed to feel? And since when do "deep characters" mean that everyone's just a complete unlikeable asshole that just has a ton of problems?

And yet I keep watching SG:U. Maybe it's some kind of morbid fascination, I don't know, but I still want to know what's going to happen.

Oh and agreed on Enterprise, I adored that show. It retained that Star Trek feel I like but still felt fresh and new. That alone should make it pretty clear that I'm cool with series taking a new direction, but SG:U almost pretends like everything in the Stargate-verse before it never happened. It's pretty much Stargate in name only.
Ok, I can totally accept that. I fine with other people not liking things when they have real reasons. It's just most of the comments I had seen didn't really explain what they thought was wrong, just that it wasn't 'real' Stargate and it had no redeeming value. I'm glad you agree it has it's good parts even if it doesn't exactly fit, and who knows? Maybe season two will surprise everyone.

For being articulate you win a cookie and a glass of orange juice. :)

And it's always good to see someone else who actually liked Enterprise. I loved the new movie too, and given how well it seemed to go over hopefully that's where everything will jump off from from now on. A mix of the new one's action and better realized world with some more of the big ideas from the series' good old days. Then it'll be just about perfect.

that's not a cliffhanger. that's how Jack Black speaks, and the customary thing to say in such a situation.

if you saw another kind of demon (eddie riggs mom) spawning after the credits, now that would be a cliffhanger.

In any way it made me think there would be a sequal and i hope there is.

A Song of Ice and Fire.

Nothing anybody else says in this thread matters, thusly.

At least until Georgie-boy finishes the series.

Then the world can start turning again.
I think that he is probably about done, just needs to finish a few POVs and Dance will be out by next spring or summer.

That said, I've heard that the books in the middle of series are always the toughest because that's where all the action goes down. All he has to do in The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring is wrap up the story... the gigantic sprawling story... fuck, they're never coming out. Just kidding I have faith in GRRM.

Edit: At least we will have at least one season of it on HBO, and I think once we get that and it becomes the biggest hit since Lost we'll get even more.
Heard through the vine that it would be *looks at calendar*--On the 29th.

Then again, George's broken deadlines before.

A lot.

The Song's too complex not to have more seasons. Too much material to just ignore unless it doesn't get any bites--which it will, considering it's one of the most dramatic reads out there that's encompassed in a badass plot, which could easily translate into an incredible series.
If you got that from Amazon they don't know, they're just guessing.

No arguments here, I think that if GRRM finishes and they can get most of the stars to stay on, I think it could go for the full seven.

Did you see the new trailers that came out a few weeks ago? I got my new avatar from a screen cap I took of it. It's The Mountain That Rides, and he looks pretty badass.
Any links there, my Westerosi friend?
Sure thing.

Just something to remember for the Raven trailer is that they have made everything look more gray also the behind the scenes trailer is just that behind the scenes so HBO haven't worked their magic yet.



Here are most of the stills from the two videos and at the end there are some new stills of Ned and Theon at the execution form the beginning of the book that were in a trailer for all up coming shows coming to HBO but I couldn't find it on youtube.

Well, I really wish they hadn't cancelled Star Trek: Enterprise.

I've also got two series that I know will be continued for years to come, but I'm pretty certain those continuations are going to suck. The first is actually Halo. With Bungie gone, I fully expect Microsoft to milk the franchise into oblivion within the next five years. Please do not spark Halo quality debate this was just my opinion deal with it.

My second not-lost-but-pretty-much-sucking-now series is the Alien franchise. Alien was one of the best movies ever made, and Aliens was quite possibly better. But I'm avoiding the third movie like the plague because, SPOILER ALERT, Alien 3 kills off most of the second movie's main characters within the first five minutes. Even the novelization writer, Alan Dean Foster, considered that an atrocity. And then we get to Resurrection, and the Alien vs. Predator movies...which manage to be a step DOWN from "let's kill Hicks, Newt and Bishop so we don't have to pay their actors' salaries".

So yeah. Supposedly there's a new Alien prequel in the pipe, directed by Ridley Scott himself, but given how efficiently Fox butchered the series after the second movie, I'm not getting my hopes up.

As a random side note, the actor who played Hicks actually demanded - and received - almost as much money for the use of his likeness in the opening scene of Alien 3 as he did for his role in Aliens.

I hope they make Mirrors Edge 2. loved the first one there just wasnt enough
And theres a tv show called Peep Show that I really want to keep going.
You sir have good taste in TV, have you watched any of That Mitchell And Webb Look?
Yeah ! Its brill ! Its a bit up and down but still great
Hope they carry on as a duo, both of them are hilarious
Completely agree on That Look being up and down but it is ten times better than their most recent solo projects, the bubble, jesus christ that would have been a sketch to them together not an actual show and webbs movie mistakes was pure career aftermath that is usually saved for retirement.

Have you checked out Green Wing, I think it may have something for you to giggle at

Archer, Arrested Development and I'm Alan Partridge.

I'm Alan Partridge is actually fucking genius. GIEF MOAR. :/
I LOVE both Arrested Development and I'm Alan Partridge, could you recommend any tv series that you think I may like so I can find some shows I may have missed, for you I recommend Curb Your Enthusiasm, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Green Wing, Peep Show & Venture Brothers, if you have seen these already maybe give The American Office a try it is completely different to the uk version but has it's own charm and memorable characters which after a few episodes you will want to follow.

Only fear two.

1.Freeman's mind, it's a good series and it seems the guy who runs it runs into another problem.

2.Dead Like Me,I'm still holding on to hope for that one. That show was outright brilliant it desereves atleast another 2 seasons.

MEGAS XLR!!!!!!!! it was my favorite series in the history of EVERYTHING, and they randomly stopped it to replace it with shit like total drama island and my gym partner is a monkey. It's been rather sad watching the decline of the cartoon industry into the now that is crap.

Legacy of Kain. Too bad I know it's not going to be continued because some key staff members left Crystal Dynamics.

Stargate Universe, just because I'm worried.

Speaking as someone who never really got into the other Stargates (although I could see myself casually off-and-on continuing Atlantis beyond episode one), I absolutely loved the new direction for the series.

The drama, the characters, the mystery, everything seemed to come together way better then first seasons usually get too, and I can't wait for season two to start on Tuesday.

However, I know the overwhelming majority of existing fans of the franchise hated to its core and desperately desire being able to watch the entire cast and crew get spaced. And the real tragic part is I haven't seen any of these fans give a reason that doesn't sound like it stems directly from fan-boy hatred of anything that tries to be different then what they've done before (See the same attitude that got Enterprise canceled, something I will never forgive the human race for).

I honestly don't know how well it's doing for itself, and as usual in these situations those that hate are louder then those that don't, but I really hope this one stays around for a while. Or at least they get enough warning to give it a proper ending. The Destiny deserves nothing less.
Same here. After the cliff-hangers in that last episode (despite the fact that the commerical right after answered some questions), I really can't wait for season two. I'm not a huge fan of the Stargate universe, but Stargate Universe (perhaps I should have used different words there) really drew me in. I would be very sad if they discontinued it.

As for games I would really like another Timesplitters and Warcraft game. Now World of Warcraft, just Warcraft. I really like Warcraft III and one of these days I'm gonna get around to buying the battlechest. And Timesplitters 2 was one of my favorite games for the Gamecube. Come to think of it, another Metal Arms: Glitch in the System game would be fun as well.

Couldnt agree more, I watched the bubble but it wasnt anything special, watchable to say the least, and their films were a bit mehh like magicians =/ didnt really work but not bad
The most recent series of That Look was great though !
And yeah I watched green wing ages ago, thought it was great but couldnt find it on much, ill try 4OD or something !
I never get tired of watching peep show over and over, ima have to buy the box set.
