[QUOTE="darkshadows38, post: 56575, member: 19"] man i really HATE cliff-hangers with a passion. i can go on how much i hate them but i'd be here for hours on end posting about it and i don't think you want to read that. why? because they are so over-done and so stupid to do at the end of each season that it's not even effective anymore. one thing i can say about Dallas, is that when JR was shot though i was only 2 years old the time it aired and didn't watch it that i'm aware of. that was effective and such an impact because that came out of NOWHERE and nobody expected that at all. the sad thing is that shows today i think shows today try and copy that and they've NEVER copied that at all because when JR got shot that hit a cord with people and it was talked about like crazy. i can't think of another show at all after that where that did happen. yeah there have been shows where the end of a cliff-hanger did get talked about but not like when JR and all the hype that got. why do i hate them? again? well when i know a show is getting renewed like say Grey's than it's not that much of a big deal cause i know the show's coming back and honestly the last time they had a really great cliff-hanger was the plane crash did happen. season 10 maybe? i forget which one that was. but i knew it was coming back though it's just when shows get cancelled like say Time after Time which though it wasn't on a major cliff-hanger per say, it was a show that had it lasted a bit longer it would have had one and if it had gotten cacelled than i would have been pissed. but my best example is Twin Peaks where you don't know what's going to happen. yes stuff was shot back than but it was never used and i dunno if it's ever been released has it? and yes we are getting a Season 3 next month but that's just pure luck and doesn't always happen. shit the reboot of Dallas needs to get rid of that cliff-hanger in maybe at tv movie to finish that story. or hell The Pretender the last tv movie ended on one and than ratings on TNT weren't as good as they thought they were going to be and they never went back the morons.
