Urgh I don't know if it's just me (as tv writers seem convinced we love them), but I HATE cliffhangers. What is the big deal with every season having to end on them, and now news about DW's new season being split in half with a cliffhanger to "keep viewers on the edge of their seats". Smallville's cliffhangers are another peeve of mine because every single season ends on a cliffhanger, and it really makes me miss Buffy ending each season properly and giving you a complete story in one season


I can still anticipate the new season just as much without plot points leaving the audience hanging for months on end.

And it's like showrunners think that no one would be excited for the new season without them. I don't mind end of episode cliffhangers as much if they're being resolved the following week, like say one Doctor Who episode ended amazingly with the Doctor about to regenerate and bang "to be continued" comes up. Now that was an awesome moment that got everyone talking (even if it was resolved badly), but if that had been a season ending I would have hated it
