Didn't Brendan Small tweet no season 5 or something to that effect?

It's a shame to hear that Adult Swim passed on a fifth season of the show. I was worried about that happening when Brendan Small said he was waiting until AS gave me the budget he thought he would need to end the show properly. Given Adult Swim's history of being tight-fisted, I wasn't sure if they would approve of a bigger budget. I could understand them cancelling it if the show was intended to go on indefinitely, but cancelling it when there was just one more season is pretty lousy.

This has been a year of endings for Adult Swim. The fourth season of the Boondocks ended up being its last, Metalocalypse won't be returning, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force is in its last season too. Shows that had been part of the line up for a over a decade. By year's end, I don't think Adult Swim will ever be the same.

IIRC Small said he wants to do another movie to wrap up the Salacia/Tribunal plot.

He'll do what he can with the money he has, he said, which some speculate just mean an album of songs detailing the final struggle.

It might be just an album? Geez.

Either would be better than nothing, but there's still the worry that neither would be able to provide a satisfying conclusion the way a full season could. It'd suck for the show to fizzle out after nearly 10 years.

Can I just say Salacia is one of the most terrifying fictional characters to me? The voice, the Nightmare Faces, the fact that he seems to basically rule the world, and the fact that there's something just so... off about him even when he's not in Eldritch Abomination form are all just chilling to me. I really hope we get some form of resolution for him.

Wait, so it's confirmed there won't be another regular season?

Yes. Adult Swim decided not to order a fifth season.

Adult Swim really baffles me sometimes.

Four seasons and two rock operas!

Seriously though, why the hell not? Wasn't the show quite popular and profitable? And it only needed one more season. But no, they cancel this, they cancel China IL...

Yeah, canceling something right before the last season is bizarre to me.

Can I say that I like, despite all the other bizarre quirks they have, that it's well established that Dethklok writes their own material? I think it's a fun little detail that shows no matter how idiotic they seem, they are genuinely talented.

I wonder who the next most talented musicians are outside of them.

[up] We here precious little about other musicians in the series, actually. It's kind of strange.

Another random thought: would the Prophecy have worked with Magnus in the band? At his audition Toki said he felt an "electricity" and that "this was meant to be." That makes me think that Toki's joining, and thus Magnus's leaving, were written in the stars as well.

Figures the petition would be based in Australia. That damn Pickles' brother.

I always hoped the reason Pickles' brother has remained unharmed for so long is because the writers were planning for something really, really, really nasty to happen to him in the last season.
