And that's the problem.  Hicks will make sweet love to Hudson in Brokeback Aliens.

Babaylon 5: In the Beginning didn't suck, and it was a prequel.

Many novel series have started as single books and then turned into series, so that some of the succeeding books were in fact prequels.  The Horatio Hornblower novels spring to mind as having prequels that were good. 

Similarly, the first TV series of Rumpole of the Bailey constituted a prequel to the Plays for Today BBC production of Rumpole of the Bailey, as they took place in the 1960s and early 1970s, compared to 1975 for the first work.

I will agree that prequels in general are usually inferior, but would also agree that sequels in general are inferior.  It is human nature to take more care with something that will establish a reoputation than something that will simply maintain it.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

FYP :bleeding:

Hudson will really be a woman, though, rendering another classic quote a parody of itself. :weep:

Does Batman Begins count?  It may not have been as good as Batman Returns but it's better than Batman.

When they make a live-action movie version of The Hobbit, it will be a prequel.  :lol:

Hobbit was written (Or at least published) first if I recall.

I know; hence the [ :lol:].

TLotR is an example of a sequel that outshone the original book; thus it was made into a movie first, and in the movie version, it will appear to be a "prequel" when in fact the book was published first.

May be unique in this respect.

Is LOTR really a sequel though? I thought Tolkien worked on it for decades.
