Talk:Cliffhanger

Would Last Comic Standing qualify?

Here's what I was going to post about Last Comic Standing, but I'm not sure if this necessarily qualifies as a cliffhanger:

Last Comic Standing had a partially unresolved cliffhanger. The show, which featured a wide range of comedians showcasing their comic routines, was canceled by NBC just before its final episode. Comedy Central picked up this episode, but broadcast viewers were not able to see the final episode if they did not have cable television.

Cliffhangers

There was a show called "Cliffhangers" in 1979, which was comprised of three "cliffhanger serials." There is no mention of this as an unresolved cliffhanger. Two of the three episodes (Stop Susan Williams and The Secret Empire) were never finished.

I would note that the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. had a cliffhanger in every episode, usually at the half hour mark. The show was admittedly a sci-fi western with classic serial film underpinnings, but there were deathtraps aplenty.

What about Batman Begins?

If I understand this correctly, wouldn't Batman Begins be considered a cliffhanger ending? --illEATurHARTout 16:19, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

I would think it is because all major plot points were resolved. Sure, both of the villains escaped, and a new one (The Joker) was hinted at, but the film was essentially a complete story in and of itself. 67.136.242.106 07:22, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

DS9 Ending

The ending to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine isn't technically a cliffhanger in the classic sense. It's more of a "life goes on" ending, where, despite open ends (Kasidy's pregnancy, Ben with the Prophets, the race for a new Kai), there's nothing that really feels "unresolved". The backup for this is that the producers knew that the seventh season would be its last, and crafted this episode for that specific end. -- Grev -- Talk 16:46, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
