Left Hanging: Difference between revisions

* An episode of ''[[Walker, Texas Ranger]]'' had Cordell Walker rescue a girl who was trapped in a Christian cult camp, but with the last minutes of the episode devoted to Walker's rescue of Alex Cahill from the cult camp, it's unknown what has happened to the girl he was supposed to rescue.

** An even worse example is the tv movie "Trial by Fire" which ends with Alex being shot in the courthouse and lying near death. Supposedly, the producers were expecting CBS to offer them the opportunity to make further TV movies but low ratings (supposedly due to a football game preceding the movie running an hour longer than anticipated) and CBS shortly thereafter scrapping their Sunday night TV movie has made further TV movie's unlikely.

* The final episode of [[Unnatural History]] ended with the cast in the Mongolian desert, when they hear a strange noise. Jasper and Maggie wonder what the noise was, and Henry suggests the area is "more than just dust and bones".

* [[Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior]]. The first season ends with a sadist/masochist killer team forcing team leader Cooper into a [[Sadistic Choice]] of killing the masochist or the sadist will kill one of his teammates. The choice is right down to the wire, cut to black, gunshot. But, sorry, show was cancelled the previous week, NO RESOLUTION FOR YOU!

* ''[[This Is Wonderland]]'', a brilliant Canadian legal dramedy, ran for three seasons, and ended on ''three concurrent cliffhangers''. What a drag.

* In the fourth series of ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' Guinevere and (a fake) Lancelot are [[Brainwashed]] with magic into kissing each other on the night before Gwen's wedding to Arthur, resulting in Gwen's exile and Lancelot's suicide. Although Guinevere is eventually welcomed back to Camelot by the end of the season and becomes its Queen through her marriage to Arthur, no one (including herself) ever finds out that she wasn't acting of her own volition when she cheated on Arthur, even though it would have only taken a simple conversation with Merlin (who knew that Lancelot was being controlled by Morgana) to clear up the issue (Gwen being smart enough to realize that the bracelet Lancelot gave her was probably the cause of her abrupt change in behavior). Yet for whatever reason, the writers thought exonerating the pair of them wasn't worth any meaningful resolution, and the fact that Guinevere will ''have'' to find out at some point that Lancelot killed himself isn't addressed in any way.
