The special feeling that you get when you've watched a show and realized that an unusually large number of loose ends have been left dangling.
Line 240 ⟶ 242:
* ''[[The Weekenders]]'', "Croquembouche" (about Carver in a food essay contest: Tino does his usual end-of-episode [[An Aesop|Aesop]] routine while Carver presents his essay on a French cake, which gives the ep its title, and the ep ends with people applauding Carver's speech, without showing if he won or not)
* ''[[All Grown Up!]]!'', "Izzy or Isn't He?" (when the episode ends, you realize they never mention the result of the election that forms a major part of this episode's storyline).
* ''[[Re BootReBoot]]'' started the "Daemon" storyline during the third season... only to find out that they weren't getting a fourth season. That one was left hanging for years until the TV movie ''Daemon Rising'' (which used "It's About Time!" as part of the advertising). Alas, ''RebootReBoot'' ended on ''another'' [[Cliff Hanger]] not long after.
** Fortunately it seems another three movies are being made, and a webcomic is being done on the official Reboot website to bridge the storyline gap between the old and new materal. Assuming said movies do get made...
*** And watch, they'll end on '''''ANOTHER''''' Cliffhanger.
* In the ''[[BattleTech]]'' animated series, the final two-part episode pits the main characters against the bad guys in a Trial of Possession for the main characters' home planet of Sommerset. When it finally breaks down to a hand to hand fight between the bad guy and the hero, it ends with the hero winning the planet... but not the people, including the hero's brother, who were all spirited off the planet. The series was not continued. However, in a novel set in the same universe, the main character shows up nearly 15 years later. He is presented with the temptation to make an unauthorized attack to retake Sommerset, meaning that the Trial of Possession (much like the rest of the series) had little or no lasting effect on the larger Battletech universe.
** Actually, the animated series is consider non-canon. One of the books notes that there was a [[Shout-Out|unpopular, short lived holovid show]] based off his actual career.
