In Spain we got the same post-credits scene... I too stayed until the very end to see if there was anything else... nada. No shwarma! Pity, that would have been fun! :p

AND they have GREAT aim!!! Try cleaning that jet of poop off your boots if you get to close to an Adélie Penguin... not easy!

I had a reviewer asking me to rewrite my second article because it was "too literary"! I had purposefully tried to make it less cut and dry put-you-to-sleep sciency, I guess he/she didn't appreciate the effort! (my first paper, in the same style, was accepted no problem!)

not just film/tv, books too! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes and the fans made such a fuss he was forced to "resurrect" him! :p

Ouch yeah! I'd forgotten about that one... it did serve to change the core characters somewhat, plus establish that in the NJO books no one was safe.

How about Tasha Yar? That one was so screwed up they actually brought her back to grant her a more dignified death (albeit in an alternate timeline thingy) a few seasons later!

What about World Oceans Day? June 8th!!!

I'd add The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudy Canavan, although if you're really looking to torture yourself waiting for the next installment in a series, may I suggest any by Isobel Carmody? I've been waiting for the final book in the Darksong trilogy since 2004! :p
