  What annoys me ...

  What annoys me ...

   Cliffhanger Endings To Episodes That Are Never Resolved!

   They have always bugged me to no end. Why bother writing a cliff hanger if you never plan on following up on it? Two of the worst offenders:

  1) Lost - In a dramatic ending, Jack asks Ana Lucia to train an army to presumably take on the others. After this, the issue of the army is never mentioned, and Ana Lucia is later killed off and forgotten about.

  2) 24 - A pivotal character, Charles Logan, flatlines in an ambulance after being stabbed by his ex-wife. No mention of Charles, nor his wife, is ever made again.

  Petition To Change The Default Avatar

  Anyway, I'll be brief. This is a petition to have the default avatar of the dummy changed to a new one.
  
  Why the avatar should be changed
  - It just isn't a good avatar. It's creepy and distracting. There should be a more neutral avatar for members who haven't selected an avatar, such as simply the TV.com logo.
  - It is just annoying to constantly looks at, and is very distinct, and makes it easy to confuse new members
  - Topics are often dragged off-topic when members tell new members with the default avatar to change the their avatar
  - It would take away the common issue of people starting threads asking for the image to be changed
  
  If you support changing the default avatar, simply make a comment below, which will count as signing the avatar

  Veronica Mars cancelled?

  Kirsten recently reported that the CW show Veronica Mars has being given the axe, and will not be returning for a fourth season. Veronica Mars fits alongside shows like Friday Night Lights and Arrested Development in the usual 'critically accalimed, but not watched' category.
  
  Many people on various forums are furious at the CW for the cancellation of Veronica Mars. While I never really watched the show, I think CW made the right choice, and this is one of those rare cirumstances where cancellation of a show was fully justified.
  
  Veronica Mars has being given 3 seasons, numerous great timeslots, and plenty of advertising, and it still hasn't managed to garner acceptable ratings - it got more than a fair chance.The CW is perfectly entitled to cancel it, and they should have done so sooner in fact.
