Dexter - Season 6 Finale

Doctor Jack · 01-31-2023, 07:44 AM

Lost season 3 finale. The best cliffhanger of all time in any medium. That last 2 minutes were jaw dropping.

GoneJoel · 01-31-2023, 10:15 AM

The Bent-Neck Lady episode from The Haunting of Hill House.

Who Shot J.R.?

Guydowood · 01-31-2023, 10:40 AM

A House Divided aka The Who Shot J.R. season 3 cliffhanger of Dallas (1980) this took the World by storm and CBS marketed the hell out of it the several months leading to season four episode 4 reveal.

I'm not a fan of cliffhangers, but if I need to pick one, here it is: Breaking Bad Season 3 Finale.

"Jump! jump now!”

The Season 3 finale of Babylon 5.

They should have stopped there, as things began to come apart after that.

I second this.

It was a long wait to see the conclusion and totally worth it.

I would agree with that, but I would have to go back further and say The Fugitive as a tie or close second.

That has got to be the winner. It's iconic decades later whether you watched the show or not.

Cruel Angel · 01-31-2023, 01:55 PM

For me, I have to give it to Best of Both Worlds.

Other favorites:

"A Call to Arms"- Deep Space Nine season 5 finale
"The Erlenmeyer Flask"- X Files season 1 finale
"Fast Enough"- Flash season 1 finale
"Commencement"- Lethal Weapon season 1 finale
"Its Hour Come 'Round at Last"- Andromeda season 1 finale

Battlestar Galactica: Season 2 Lay Down Your Burdens
Red Dwarf: The end of Series 8
The Shield: Season 5 Postpartum

The level of merchandising that accompanied this tagline was astronomical. I have yet to see anything come close to that (in regards to a television cliffhanger).

Just be glad that you did eventually find out. Anyone who is a big fan of the A&E network show named The Glades like me for example still doesn't know who the heck shot the lead character of the show. In August, it will be ten years since the show ended.

God bless you always!!!

Holly

P.S. Who the heck shot Jim Longworth??? I believe that it was Ray's mom because she had a reason to, and she also had the opportunity and the ability.
