I was thinking about this last night as I watched the last episode in the Vera TV show from the UK and felt they left too many avenues unexplored even though they had a long run.

If you had the power to resurrect:

A. A book series, for at least one more book; and B. A TV show, for at least one more season,

which would you choose, and why?

A. For television shows, in addition Vera, there is of course Firefly (the characters and world are wide-open for further exploration, given how limited the run was). Also, I quite liked Fringe, with John Noble and Anna Torv, and I would certainly have watched more episodes of that. I don't watch tons of TV so I may not have as many here as others.

B. For books, I don't know if a Song of Ice and Fire is technically dead, but if so I'd resurrect that so I can actually read the ending. Also, more Conan stories, if I could save Robert Howard from his sad fate. I'd bring Octavia Butler back to finish her Parable books. Also, Rosemary Kirstein's Steerswoman books (which I'm hoping will still be finished).

I could name more, and of course there are plenty of authors I'd love to bring back in general, but I'm limiting this post specifically to series.
