THRILLED about the expansion

[DigiFluid]

I cannot say enough things about how happy it makes me that the alternate universes forum section has been so greatly expanded. The expansion has been a very long time coming and I can't wait to see how they all play out over the next few months.

That said, minor point of curiosity. How on Earth is it Bionic Woman, a series which hasn't even started airing yet (leak aside) gets a subforum while something, for instance, as epic and colossal as say Star Wars and its expanded universe don't?

That's a very good point.

I should probably clarify before anyone takes my initial post the wrong way--I'm not in here to demand a Star Wars subforum. As a matter of fact, I might well avoid it since Star Wars nerds tend to annoy me; in spite of my devotion to and love for SW and its EU myself.

It just struck me as a little odd that an unaired series gets its own forum while other established series with large followings (like SW, for instance) do not.

I am. The expanded universe is HUGE.

Hey...

I am in agreement.

Hey...

It's not a hard and fast rule, just a general one. You've always struck me as being a levelheaded and decent person whenever I've seen your posts on these boards

*slides beer down the bar* Y'know, it makes one wonder if adding more subforums costs Darren more money.

Lebensraum ftw!

To be fair to the Bionic Woman board, there's the original series which ran for 58 episodes, and "The Six Million Dollar Man" which has 101 episodes. Plenty to talk about there even before the new series begins.

guys, as darren has said before, a show getting it's own part has a lot to do with it still being an 'live' forum. Star Wars, as great as it was, is, for all intents and purposes, dead...the movies are over.

Yes, Trek is 'dead' too..but trek has many times the quantity of stuff than Star Wars does.

you want a dedicated Star Wars area - no promises being made here - then discuss it. Prove to us that there is enough interest to keep a folder alive beyond 19 semi off topic posts a day/week on the topic.

Go and DISCUSS Star Wars and maybe darren will consider it. But if the general interest isnt' there,(and i mean interest beyond a handful of people) why waste the bandwidth?

There is a live-action series on the way along with thousands of Star Wars games out there, and the books and the expanded universe. Maybe if we had a proper forum to discuss it instead of losing track of threads and not knowing what parts of the expanded universe to make threads on...

No rudeness intended, SkyDiver, but he's right. I, personally, love reading all the new books. They provide a continuation to the saga, and are, IMHO, much better than the movies.

And the new series coming out sounds great, as well as the new Clone Wars thing.

Plus I'm a big Revan fan. We need an entire INTERNET dedicated to Darth Revan. The most kick-ass Sith Lord ever. He could take Anakin any day.

Ah, Knights of the Old Republic... Good times, GOOD times... Although I thought KotOR II was kind of a let-down.

And then there's the New Jedi Order series... Best science fiction series in a long time, in my opinion. Dark, bad bad-guys, and very few wins for the good guys... God, I loved those books.

Yeah, KotOR II had too much cut stuff and wasn't even near finished, but of course LucasArts had to want it out by christmas The KotOR II Restoration Project is almost finished though at last.

Sounds very BSG. I intend to read those some day, starting with the Grand Admiral Thrawn trilogy.

OMG it is almost done I've been waiting so long for it...

And yes, you MUST read the Thrawn Trilogy. Those were simply incredible books.
