Are you amongst the many people unexcited for this November’s Roland Emmerich-directed Earth-destruction fest 2012?

Awesome, me too. Ergo, you can join me in being beat red with anger as he announces they’ve already planned a sequel.

I know, I know, you’re already balking - if they destroy the entire goddamn world in the first one, how in the great blue hell can they make a sequel?!

Don’t worry folks, they’ve got it covered. You know that sure-to-be-amazing plot which will barely fill the two hour runtime? They’re gonna stretch out the sequel to…AN ENTIRE TV SERIES.

Yep, according to Cap’n Emmerich of the Starship Can’t-Stop-Blowing-Things-Up: ““The plan is that it is 2013 and it’s about what happens after the disaster. It is about the resettling of Earth. That is very, very fascinating.”

Fascinating my ass.  Considering the entire draw of 2012 is to see stuff blow up real nice, how do you intend to follow it up on a TV show budget?

Ugh. May 2013: The Series never see the light of day.
