*Three* parts?  That kind of suggests they're leaving one of the 
major episodes out altogether.

My feral donkey guess is that the kids, Ploor, and Eddore will be 
disappeared beyond the blue horizon, and the finale will involve 
Kim's overpowering Renegade Arisian Fossten, followed by his 
long-delayed marriage to Chris.  THE END.

This has the advantage that if it's wildly popular, _Children_ 
can be made subsequently, since the audience at the end of the 
first trilogy will be left believing exactly the same spin as 
their counterparts in Civilisation are in the Lensverse -- and 
can then be disabused in the sequel.  Or not.

_Children_ is a much better finale for the series than _Second 
Stage Lensmen_ would have been, but it'd be a real comparative 
bastard to film.
