Whilst "Duology" does seem to be used by some people to describe a cycle of two films or novels, it is not a dictionary defined word. It does not fit into the pattern for trilogy, tetralogy, etc which are made from greek words (whereas this is a hybrid of Latin and Greek). Also, after trying to give the word the benefit of the doubt and having made edits the list to remove things which could not be considered to have been conceived as a "duology" (in the same way that a trilogy might), it became apparent that this page was here just to list series of two films or books, and included some unsuitable entries (Ghostbusters 1 & 2; The Iliad and the Odyssey). It also became more and more apparent that hardly anything would qualify as a "duology", unless, perhaps, the author had conceived it to be thought of as "The something Duology" (like the tetralogy "The Alien Quadrilogy" has been described in marketing materials). I am yet to see an example of "Duology" to be used in this way. Robsinden ( talk) 13:06, 19 August 2008 (UTC) reply
