I have a few ideas on the subject.
These three are anywhere in the timeline
1. Program virus affects city and Daryl somehow. (Perhaps it gets into the millitary computers, and gets into Daryl's memory banks, then transmists over to him?) After all, this would create quite a problem, because you couldn't just download some antivirus software from the net.
2. Attack on millitary defense force could mean destruction of Daryl's memory banks. The only problem is that another round of Amnesia would be clichéd to much.
3. Someone discovers the ejector mechanism (with Daryl's DNA?) at the bottom of Blue Lake.
- - - - - - -
I also thought of these. The only thing is, they'd have to be maybe half a year max after the first one ends.
4. Daryl's Memory Banks could fill up, so it would be impossible for him to learn anything else.
5. What if the millitary figures there is nothing they can do, so they choose to destroy all the facilities that they had set up for Daryl? Wuld this result in him forgetting everything, or perhaps actually turning off? I can imagine him playing a game (baseball, basketball, etc.) and mid jump, or whatever, he shuts down and falls limp to the ground. His eyes could also go blank (clear, black, etc.) at this, as we know that the brain is connected directly.
(line for Andy, speaking to Dr. Eleen Lamb) In all the cartoons and comic books, computers need energy, in some cases nuclear power, other things atomic power, but what about Daryl's brain? How does he generate power?
6. What if the millitary tries again, with a new prototype. This one would be more advanced than D.A.R.Y.L., making him outdated. What if this new prototype was already under consruction at the time he got taken from TASCOM (the start of the movie, meaning that they're about the same age)? What if he wants to be updated? Would this mean he needs to be rebuilt? What if the people who are reprogramming him decide to make him a war machine again? Would he have a back-up? What if this new model is female, and they meet each other? Would the female develop emotions, as he did?
7. Daryl & Turtle's entire class get notices to take home that they will be going on field trip to learn about magnets. Andy warns Daryl about the dangers of magnetic forces, but Daryl is confident under the assumption that fridge magnets do nothing to him. In the end, Daryl goes on the field trip, but as he walks through a powerful magnetic field, he gets a major headache, ringing in his ears, and then he faints. (We all know what magnets do to our PCs.) Turtle would end up having to drag Daryl's uncounsious (for real this time!) body back to the school bus or something a find a way to revive him. Once Daryl is revived, he could get embarassed over the whole thing.
I beleive this, and the previous two, are the most promising, and it/they could end with a slight leakage of Daryl's history to his class, although perhaps not number 6. (it would need to begin with a setting in which only the Fox and Richardson families know about the events in the first movie).
Also, I was wondering how Daryl would go through puberty. Think about it. With us 100% humans, the brain releases signals that tell the body to produce testosterone, which causes hair to grow and all the other stuff. But with Daryl, how would this happen?
Would his behavior change because of the testosterone? would it even be produced, how would he deal with crushes, both his own and those who have a crush on him?
EDIT:
8. What would happen if Daryl's class got an assignment from school, they had to write their life story? After all, Daryl has only been 'human' since he started living at the Richardsons.

They should just make a remake of the original

Mabye they could get that kid who played Charlie in the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to do it? Or perhaps Liam Aiken (the one who playes "Klaus" in Lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events).

Freddie is like 16 and mostly grown up. Liam Aiken is 20. Thomas Sangster is about 18. The Sprouse twins are 16. DVDs have a habit of making you think there still the age when they made a movie. Like Barrett Oliver is 36 or so.

I don't think there should be a sequel to DARYL at this point. If anything, they should make a remake. I've heard that they're remaking other movies from the 80's, like The Karate Kid and I think a few others.

A remake would definitely make more sense than a sequel at this point. I remember the original movie was destined to have a sequel, but the thing is it wasn't that popular in the box office.
It'd be like making a sequel to Labyrinth. Sure, everyone now loves the movie, but it did so poorly that it didn't make enough money to bother.

another plotline would be: what would happen if the computer fails and the brain takes over?

Andy,
His brain is a computer, it doesn't simply augment normal "grey matter". I'm working on a fan-fiction right now where this is an issue early on (currently working on the first chapter). I'll let people know when I post it. Write back, please,

Hi ncrawford,
How would you have in a remake, actor/character-wise? Set in the '80s (like the original), or move it to present day? Good idea though! Later,
-David Chipman
