Thought of this last night just before I went bed and I don't think it's been done before. At that time I had a good long list in my head but by this morning I seemed to have forgotten most of them.

So what are your faves, either mid-season or season enders. Doesn't matter how good the following episode was either, just whether the cliffhanger episode left you clamouring for more and you eagerly awaited the next episode.

For me (in no order):

The X-Files: Gethsemane
The end to season 4. A body you believe is Mulder's is lying in his apartment, dead. They tease you over the episode and then Scully confirms that Mulder is dead with tears in her eyes. Brilliant stuff, even though you know it's not really him.

Babylon 5: Z'ha'dum
Sheridan goes to the Shadow homeworld and jumps into the pit followed by a Whitestar.

Angel: To Shanshu in L.A.
The return of Darla, one of the best guests in the Buffy/Angelverse. A nice bit of trickery from the makers to make you think it's the other demon.

Doctor Who (New version): Bad Wolf + Army Of Ghosts
Rose has been captured by the Daleks. They are about to start an invasion and they tell the Doctor what he must do. He just says no. The Daleks don't understand. Then he says what he is going to do to them. And one man makes the whole Dalek army scared. Top stuff.
Then in AOG the Cyberman have taken over the world, hope is lost. Then the Daleks appear from the sphere. Could it get any worse?

Well, there the ones I remember for now. I had a couple from Stargate Atlantis but I'm sure someone else can write about them.

"I don't believe in suicide, but if you'd like to try it it might cheer me up to watch."

REGINAROADIE

24: Day One: 10PM-11PM - After 23 hours of non-stop action, suspense and intrigue, we find out that it was indeed Nina Meyes who was the Drazen's mole in CTU all this time. This sets up the final hour of the day, which is still my all time favorite season finale.

24: Day Two: 5AM-6PM - The big reveal at the end of the ep that the whiny bridezilla Marie was setting up her Arab fiancee and helping Sayid Ali to bring the nuke into L.A.

24: Day Two: 7AM-8AM - Every thing's been stopped and it seems like it's OK. Palmer's giving a speech and shaking hands. Who should shake his hand but Mandy, the chick that blew up the plane in the pilot. Minutes later, seconds later, Palmer is on the ground poisoned and gasping for air.

Lost: Do No Harm - Locke is pounding on the window of the hatch, screaming his lungs out over doing what the island told him to do and in the process killing Boone. He's demanding some sort of sign. And then a light shines up from the window, illuminating him.

Lost: Through the Looking Glass - The final scene when we realize that the flashback was indeed a flash forward, culminating with Jack's "WE HAVE TO GO BACK!!!" That to me is when the show finally became THE SHOW. That the year and a half of their head's up their asses was finally paying off.

Heroes: "How to Stop an Exploding Man" The very tail end of the episode. You see a wide shot of a green valley with the "Volume Two: Generations". Then all of a sudden, Hiro drops out of the sky. Get's up, looks around, and realizes he's in the middle of a battle between Whitebeard and Takazo Kensei in feudal Japan, right when another solar eclipse is about to happen.

Doctor Who: "Utopia" and "The Sound of Drums" Both episodes ending on a "How in the Hell are they going to fix this?" The former with the newly regenerated Master taking the TARDIS and stranding them at the end of the universe. The latter with him literally ripping the sky apart, wiping out 600 million people in one fall swoop and taking over the planet and turning The Doctor into a decrepit old man.

**************************************************
"And it starts with a sentence that might last a lifetime, or it all might just go down in flames. If I let you know me, then why would you want me? Each day I don't is a shame. Each day I don't is a great shame."

Loudon Wainwright III - "Strange Weirdos" off the "Knocked Up" soundtrack
