I hope they do Dawn Treader and Silver Chair, simply because I adore Eustace and Jill.
My problem with Susan isn't the "boys and makeup" implications, it's that I don't understand where this business of turning her back on Narnia comes from. I really had very little connection with the Pevensies when I read the books, but when I finished the series I was left with this terrible ache for Susan- not because she doesn't get to be "Yay! Dead!" with the rest of them (so disturbing- I really hate that damn ending), but because for no discernible reason the end of her story is the image in my head of her getting a telegram: "Your brothers, sister, parents, cousin, and close family friends are all dead. Have a nice life." Susan was known for her kindness and motherly nature throughout her run of the books, with no indication of any disloyalty, and this is what she's left with?
