What's a series (movie, book, tv, comic etc.)
You wish you could finish?
Levin Thumps (never got to read Wrath of Ezra)
Sword of Truth (finished Temple of Winds/storms)
Bleach(around episode 150 or so with the Bounts and Kariya trying to blow up soul society)

Be glad you didn't finish the sword of truth. He should've ended before he did. It became so repetitive. It was bad.

I wish I could finish the comic series Ten Grand but I can't...and I won't. The series started out with Ben Templesmith (one of my favorite artists) and J Michael straczynski. Ben started suffering from some personal issues so he disappeared for a bit supposedly never contacting him in the process. J Michael replaced him with another artist whose style is completely different from his (Ben's style is extremely unique and many artist attempt to copy it) and I just can't bring myself to read the comics now. The Ben's art was a key piece to the story.

Locke & Key Alpha 02 is coming out this month and I don't want to read it. Just because it'll be the last one ever :(

On the bright side, Joe Hill said comics is always something he's going to do.

Definetly got repetitive the last couple books, but you should at least try to read through to faith of the fallen, that is one of the single best novels I have ever read

I could not finish Mockingjay... Got halfway through and got bored...
However, cannot wait for the next, and final, Percy Jackson book next year!!!

Good move. It was awful.

That's what i heard, and think that's why I haven't. I loved that series and if the last season is as bad as what people say I'm going to be so disappointed.

Dodged a bullet there...I swear that season gave me flashbacks to how bad season 6 was *shudders*

I stopped watching after season 5. Got so boring.

Also Fringe. After season 2 I was pretty much fed up with it.

Hall said they felt they couldn't top Trinity, so they started focusing on Dexter's various relationships. That's when it got bad. They could've stopped with Rita getting axed and Dexter catching Trinity and I would've been a-okay.

I got a bit fed up with Fringe as well but I'm glad I watched it to the end. It got better in my opinion.

In regards to Dexter the writing began to lack the creativity that I adored before season six, things became eventually really predictable. With season 8 I don't think they were fully focusing on it...throughout the season there had been discussion about a Dexter spin-off. If that is true, then I'm sure that's where their focus lied.

***SPOILER***
A spinoff wouldn't surprise me. Supposedly Showtime told the writers they could do anything but kill Dexter off. That would explain how he rode into a friggin' hurricane and lived.

Misfits, game of thrones, too many anime to list. I have a bad habit of starting and not finishing things.
