I love this thread for introducing me to new shows I might have missed. I always google any new ones and then if I fancy I put them in never miss, if they come up, on sky so I dont miss them.

Thanks for all the suggestions, looking forward to Alcatraz next week and Touch later this month.

I used love 4400 and its annoying when they leave you with a cliffhanger and then it gets pulled, at least you can make the decision before you start to watch when its an older series, I have lost track of the good shows I have watched that have not had a proper ending.

World's oldest Charles Dickens film discovered

A 111-year-old film which depicts a character from Bleak House, was found by an archivist at the British Film Institute

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/ma ... discovered

The film will be screened as a special addition to the programme of Dickens: pre-1914 Short Films on March 9 and 23 at the BFI in London

Agreed, although The 4400 was wrapped up in a book I believe, so may be worth a look.

It is frustrating the number of shows I've watched without a good ending - The Unit jumps to mind. I'd highly recommend Jericho - fantastic show, and did get a wrap up!

They wrapped the story in a book? At least that's something, they've done that with Buffy too but as comic books. Think I will continue with 4400 knowing that there is some sort of ending to it :) Thanks for that info Belbo o/

The sadly very short-lived but amazing TV-show Traveler (with Matthew Bomer, Logan Marshall-Green and Aaron Standford) was wrapped up in a blog post (this included entire storylines for upcoming but never filmed seasons!)

Preferred cinemas:
Central London and North London as far north as the Hampstead Everyman including Picturehouse Hackney/Notting Hill Gate - but not Wood Green and North Finchley as they are just a bit too far.

i'm still amazed that 4400 got greenlit. guess hard alien scifi was in demand after the xfiles faded into cancellation.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

I'm fairly confident...but it may be worth double checking incase I'm wrong!!!

And no problem - assuming I'm right :D

You were absolutely right, Belbo! In fact there are 2 books which wrap it up and they seem to satisfy the readers. I posted the links in the What Did You Watch Last Night thread because a similar exchange occured as between you and I but this time I took your role as the informer...cycle of thing, lol. Oh and I am into the second season now, really enjoying it.

Penultimate book

Final book
