Don’t know if we have that many Metalocalypse/Dethklok fans here, but [this preview](http://video.adultswim.com/metalocalypse/special/) of The Doomstar Requiem (airing Sunday at midnight) has been released. Looks like it’s going to be the series finale. Holy crap…I’m actually a little shaky from watching it. ---

:eek: NOOOOOOOOOO!!! The best series ever on television can’t end!!! NOOOO!!! :mad: Besides, I’ve only got thru season 4 on Blu-ray! I have no idea what’s happened since Nathan apologized (and don’t want to know until I watch it, so don’t bother telling me, please). ---

Nope, just a one-hour movie. ☹ And it’s an opera…apparently there’s no dialog, only singing. ---

😃 Looking at the preview, it might actually work… I’ve rewatched the part with Charles singing three times now… ---

Well, apparently that wasn’t meant to be the end after all…a [social media campaign](http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=117170) has been launched to convince Hulu (and Adult Swim) to show a final season. ---

I see that this is a zombie that died before I got here, but I have to say that Doomstar Requiem is/was, without a doubt, The Best Thing Ever Broadcast On Television. I went and saw Brendan Small at a TINY little club that only holds like 40 ppl tops and he and his band played The Duel. Fucking GREAT! True Story. ---

It’s really unfortunate that Hulu owns the rights to it. If it was going to be on Netflix it might be able to reach the necessary support, but Hulu seems unpopular enough that I don’t think it’ll happen. ---

Literally the only thing I have ever purchased off of Google play was the soundtrack for this. I used to Youtube it and wanted to take it with me I loved it THAT much. The only problem with it, for me, is that once I listen to it the music gets stuck in my head FOR DAYS ---
