Talk:Trilogy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I removed "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" from the list of trilogies because (a) it's not really a trilogy, and (b) it's mentioned in the article already, as a humerous aside, which seems a better way to bring it in than in a list. - DavidWBrooks 18:14, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] geeky examples
Boy, are the examples in this article a perfect example of the geek/nerd/computer-fan bias inherent in wikipedia! - DavidWBrooks 02:17, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
A few months later, following the wonderful example of an editor who created a main article about movie trilogies which allows cutting down the list here, I have trimmed some reptetive examples from the text (e.g., several sets of video games) and tried to expand the cultural reach further beyond sci-fi and fantasy - by, for example, removing the Scream movies from the famous list and putting in the Apu trilogy. - DavidWBrooks 16:47, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trilogies that aren't
Just how many "trilogies" are there with more than three parts? Most importantly, are there enough to make a separate list? At the moment the only ones I can think of are:
Hitchhiker's Guide (a trilogy in four/five parts) Xanth - where the original trilogy was extended to 9, then a new trilogy was started, but then (at around the point I stopped reading) someone pointed out that he could stretch it to 3^3 = 27 parts and call that the trilogy Scary Movie - the latest offerring advertised as "The fourth and final part of the trilogy".
Can we expand this trilogy to a few more examples? Confusing Manifestation 05:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
