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.

I couldn't agree more. It makes me irritated, not full of longing for the next season.

Same! I don't mind the way Doctor Who does it as much as they basically wrap up the season, and then drop some kind of teaser for the Xmas special which is fine (and honestly none of those teases have ever left me on the edge of my seat LOL). But blegh at shows ending with some huge cliffhanger, and then leaving you waiting months for them to resolve it.
