So, what is it? For me, the best type of cliffhanger, would have to be only little things, see the first few episodes of seinfeld, season 4, that's what I'm talking about.

I'm not making it just to make a thread, just occured to me as a fun topic.

By the way, facepalms, getting kinda' old, you really wanna make me feel bad? Try something new and effective.

I'm choosing regular clifhanger. I'm really not sure what that is, but it sounded beter than the others (except for maybe "I'm pregnant!!).

Hey, hey, Greg. Don't be all facepalmy. This is very good for Buhubs!

I'M...PWEGNANT.

I rather like emotional ones, even though they bug me. I like depressing-type stuff. :0 (Example: the end of Clone High.)

I like the cliffhangers that tell you everything, but then open up a whole new world.

The end of Clone High was one of my least favourite cliffhangers: The unresolved cliffhanger. But I have no idea how they would've resolved it if they'd got another season.

That's the thing. It WASN'T resolvable. Abe never got to confess his feelings, everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful, etc. I'm a sucker for tragedy.

Super Cliffhangers, they're the only "cliffhangers" that can be called cliffhangers.

Super cliffhangers are my favorite, but in some cases, they have really annoyed me.(End of Animorphs. X-( )

I've seen a few people say that it should've ended with them naming the ship the Rachel, and I'm inclined to agree with them.
