I wish we could find out what happened to the surviving folks in The Stand. And Half Life 3. ---

I always wondered what happened to Carl Denham after Kong hit the pavement: Jail time? Bankruptcy? Exile to Elba? Did he skate? Not enough for a whole movie/novel, natch, but a 75 minute TVM might be interesting. ---

I’d like to see more of _Numb3rs_. Charlie and Amita went to England at the end as visiting professors at Oxford. I can just picture Charlie offering to help Scotland Yard. And I’d like to see more of the Vorkosiganverse, but the last novel had no tension. So I’d want it to be set during Miles’ time with the Dendarii Mercenaries. And I definitely would like to see more novels in the Fairyland series by Catherynne M. Valente, although she’s made it clear that’s finished. And (if only) more Discworld… (RIP, Terry Pratchett) ---

I always wanted a spin-off of _Numb3rs_ (possibly through a back-door pilot) called _Letters_, where the case is solved every week by a genius explaining the importance of words found at the crime scene. ---

I would like more stories from Middle Earth actually. I know that might be blasphemy but I would like to see a Tolkien scholar that is also an excellent writer add to the stories of Middle Earth. Expand on the third age. Adventures in the 3rd and 4th age. What happens in Gondor as it brings the rule of King and then later the rule of his son Eldarion. As much detail as we got, we only glimpsed a small portion of world of Middle Earth and its history. ---

As much detail as we got, we only glimpsed a small portion of world of Middle Earth and its history. Yes, indeed. Seconded. Assuring its high quality, though… that’s the problem. I really enjoyed George R.R. Martin’s _Tuf Voyaging_, a sf satire about a wry, phlegmatic ecological engineer who “helps” the worlds he visits. Plenty more stories to be told there; Martin has said he’d like to, but he’s been a bit busy with this whole Westeros thing. ---

He’s posted about this on his FB account, as opposed to vague booking it. I think it’s happening this time. I’d like to see Crusade brought back, as long as it’s not on TNT. I wanted to know more about that Armageddon box, and I also wanted to see how they cured the Drakh plague and whether it would be possible to bring the Drakh over to the light. ---

I’m still waiting for _History of the World, Part II_. More seriously, Val Kilmer appeared in a pretty good _The Saint_ movie, and I was hoping it would turn into a franchise, much like James Bond. Alas, it was not to be. ---

I think it would be interesting, if depressing, if there was a Miss Saigon: Ten Years Later. Spoilers ahead. Chris was so overcome with grief and guilt that he drank himself to death; Ellen is off her face on Valium and expensive therapy; Tam is bouncing from foster home to foster home and is constantly bullied for being a half-breed from a deeply unpopular war. And maybe The Engineer finally did make to the US, only to discover he was probably better off in Bangkok. ---
