[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 331391, member: 673"] [B]1 - Falcon Crest season 2:[/B] there’s a great impending season of doom with the [I]Knots[/I] cliffhanger but I’m choosing [I]FC[/I] for this round. I love the old Agatha Christie adaptations like [I]Evil Under The Sun[/I] and this scene had a very similar vibe with the cast of glamorous suspects lined up together waiting for the culprit to be revealed. The final scene with the coffin being lowered into the grave showed us what we’d see time and time again in cliffhangers to come - that there’d be a payoff to the viewer’s emotional investment in the high drama of the finale as opposed to some of the other shows where everyone would get up and dust themselves off year after year despite being machine gunned, drowned or thrown from a height. My only stupid issue with this finale is that Lana Turner clearly wasn’t in the room when this was being shot and her scene with Maggie in the hallway was edited in due to scheduling conflicts or whatever. Not a big deal but it’s something I notice every time I watch it. [B]2 - Dallas season 4:[/B] I’m a [I]Knots[/I] fan and I don’t think I’ve ever watched this cliffhanger, so “[I]She’s dead! You bastard[/I]” gets my vote again. [/QUOTE]
