Lost season finale cliffhangers were talked about all summer back in the mid-2000s

Not TV, but the movie the Italian job (1969) ends this exact way - all the characters on a bus about to tip over the edge of a cliff - this is the likely origin of the phrase

According to Wikipedia, the term came the serialized novel A Pair of Blue Eyes by Thomas Hardy which was published in a magazine (I'm guessing one chapter in each issue?) in 1872-1873. And yes, at one point the hero is left hanging of the side of a cliff.

That is an extremely good point, and I want to know now

Does anyone know the trope namer for this? What was the first episodic drama to end with a guy literally hanging from a cliff?

Same note too

The thing about True Detective is, I literally can’t remember any of the mysteries or the solutions. I remember the casting I remember the performances and I remember the vibe, especially the weird Lost Carcosa vibe of the first season, but I can’t remember what any of it wound up actually meaning.

Sooo fucking good

> but the landing didn't seem to stick

> didn't really stick the landing either

I don't know what that means

It goes all the way back to before television. A ton of radio "serial" shows had cliffhangers at their ends so you would want to turn into next week's episode to see how the heck the hero survived.

It predates TV, and predates TV series. There are hundreds in USA alone.

Probably Dallas and the "Who Shot JR" cliffhanger.

That was Dewey not Dickey

I started with season 3 as I saw they are not related, liked it, then watched season 2 and liked it better. Waiting to start season 1 soon.

My main problem with season 3 is >!the way they were telling the story you knew the resolution was coming in the future, so while they did some stuff in the 80s and 90s you knew they wouldn't solve the case there, so most of the stuff felt unimportant with a few details showing up later. !<

No idea. I stopped paying my licence fee years ago. It got to the point where I would only watch Top Gear, Robot Wars (the return), Doctor Who, and a few BBC4 docs. It wasn't worth it after they went down hill.

Certain events happened in Clone High that made him the bitter character we see in Scrubs.

Nope.

I recently watched season 3. It was pretty good, did not like the ending too much but it wasnt terrible. It's hard to strike lightning with season 1 then have to try to follow that up...

Wa tha fuck dyuh need sub’i’ules fa on Ted lassuh? It relly eseh tu noo wa they sey.

I absolutely loved season 1 and absolutely hated season 2. Anyone on the same boat can tell me what they thought of season 3? I've been putting it off for such a long time

>season 1 didn't really stick the landing either

How? Thought it ended great. Especially with the final scene about oight and dark

Above or below his four kidneys moment?

Did you see that freaking pool? They FLIPPED the bitch!

C+ at best

"Do me a favour? Have yourself a great day!"

That does not sound like the janitor from Scrubs.

I mean if that photos the cast of dead city what’s even the point of stopping fear the walking dead?
