Castle - Is it to be Story based mini-themes or Contuned evolution?

My dark age began right before Dragon Masters and ended just recently with
the introduction of Knights Kingdom, so I consider the time lost not so
distressing.  Missing Royal Knights and Dark Forest are the worst part, but
at least I can count on Star Wars to bring me back...what not castle?

I wonder whether TLC decided to drop its marketing stradegy of the last ten
years (i.e. having several parallel castle lines overlapping each year) with
singular focused themes such as Rock Raiders, Alpha Team, Space Port, etc
which are more encapsulated rather than open ended.  True, Life on Mars is
connected to Space Port, or rather an evolution of that line, yet it is a
completely self contained theme world.  My point is that if this has become
the general strategy with TLC then should we expect Knight's Kingdom to be
finished?

Will they come out with a new closed form sub-castle themed realm such as
King Golden and his Gold Knights against the Evil Duke Igthorn and his rebel
Marcher Lords?  (sorry, blatant use of the Gummi Bears' Duke Igthorn to make
my point)

I would like to see a return of the Forestmen theme myself, and would kill
for a return of the Black Falcons.

So, what do you think?  Is it to be Story based mini-themes or Contuned
evolution?

I would bet on Story based mini-themes knowing TLC.
