I have mixed feelings about cliffhangers. On one hand they do make me want to see the next show. On the other, I know I'm being emotionally manipulated, and I want closure. But I guess it's best for the show to have them, especially the series-end cliffhangers. I can see what you mean about wanting closure, but Lost in Space closed the story and moved on to the next one in the same episode leaving you with a cliffhanger that teased you in to wanting to know what the next story was about. Time Tunnel did exactly the same. Quantum leap also played out the full story and then Sam leaped into the next body, providing a teaser for the next episode before that episode had ended. Anyway, off topic I know, but the cliffhangers was what Doctor Who was all about for me, but the stories were normally spread over four parts. I see your point. Actually, I don't mind the lack of cliffhangers in DW, because I urgently want to see the next episode even without the cliffhanger. |

I am the same now as the show the "Next Time" trailers at the end of each episode. it was something of the old Doctor Who that I didnt want to lose when it was announced that the new format was going to be stand alone episodes. But I am over it these days.  |

The Robot was the coolest, much better than the ubiquitous "Robbie". By coincidence (or not) both were designed by the same Japanese designer. Now, here is a robot to be reckoned with...  K-9, eat your heart out. ;D "Danger, Will Robinson!" |
