Riley are you there we’d like to begin
transmission these shows never quite
finished what they started and left us
hanging so what brings you fellas Oh
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
TV cliffhangers that remain unresolved
oh no so I can wait I happened to notice
can I cut the mustard or do I get to
promotion for this list we’ve narrowed
it down to television series that were
cancelled after airing an episode that
left many questions unanswered didn’t
have to be this way a character or
characters in a dangerous situation or
confronting a challenging predicament
you feel the heat it’s common these plot
points remain unresolved to this day or
were resolved by their creators after
the series had ended also there will be
some spoilers ahead so spoiler alert all
right let’s go number 10
v after Diana and James are captured
kyle’s goes away on a shuttle with
Elizabeth wait a minute where’s Kyle
well he was here a moment ago you don’t
think
stowed away however he is completely
unaware that diana has left a bomb on
the shuttle
I left a going-away present aboard the
leader shuttle you should get a big bang
out of it
although or perhaps because it was the
most expensively produced TV series of
its time to the tune of 1 million
dollars per episode this show only
lasted one season during the mid-80s
time heals all wounds a 2009 remake also
suffered the same fate and gave only
superficial nods to the original
storyline don’t be frightened
we mean you please accept our apologies
thus fans were denied a resolution of
the earlier series and were stuck with a
second equally frustrating cliffhanger
number nine Avatar The Last Airbender
young lady not another word
fans of this much-loved anime series
were left hanging in regards to the fate
of Prince Zuko’s mother Ursa Zuko that’s
what moms are like if you mess with
their babies how they’re gonna fight you
back Ursa had been sent away from the
Fire Nation capital so that she could
save her son’s life please my love
listen to me everything I’ve done I’ve
done to protect you she’s seen in a
mirror in the show’s penultimate episode
but sadly that’s the last we actually
get to see if her mom mom mom in the
finale
Zuko asks or as I where his mother is
but we never find out where is my mother
number eight Terminator the Sarah Connor
Chronicles where is he the the the John
Henry he took her chip where did he go
he didn’t take the chip she gave it to
him if ever there was a bad time for
this series to have an epic new plot
twist it’s the series finale moon lying
Terminator bitch Weaver and John Connor
pursued John Henry into the future to
escape assassins
Tommy can’t cut our champions they
arrived there safely
but discover that John Connors name is
completely unheard of
John Connor this is because the young
John Connors original timeline is
interrupted by his act of time-traveling
thus he never grows up to become the
leader of the resistance
anybody heard the name John Connor to
make things even weirder his dad Kyle
Reese and his uncle are both still alive
and neither of them recognizes him
either
I think you’re gonna be famous my
brother’s back and you’re wearing his
coat
number seven Samurai Jack my mother used
to tell me a story when I could not see
would you like to hear it
despite winning four Emmys this series
never received the conclusion it
deserved thanks to a fourth season
cancellation although the lead character
Jack’s tasks in pretty much every
episode is to find his way home there
are other ways to get home not for me
he never quite makes it despite the
numerous epic battles he undertakes and
his attempts to get there
it’s not only that but we never find out
if he returns the baby from the series
finale back to his mother I am afraid
your son has seen many things on our
travels and has now achieved Sakai the
spirit of the samurai number six
Stargate Universe so rashanda Eli are
finishing up the last of the program and
they should be done by the time I get
back
this shows cult following made it a
perfect candidate for a TV movie or a
straight-to-dvd ending to pose it out
properly sounds about right in the
series finale all the characters must
put themselves into stasis for three
years come on
mr. Wallace
but one character Eli Wallace has a
broken stasis pod and faces a
potentially excruciating death if he’s
unable to fix it Eli if you stay out
it’s automatic you’re dead if I do it at
least I have a chance maybe even a
better chance than Rush fans were
hopeful due to the fact that Stargate
sg-1 had to directed DVD releases
devoted to it that the same would happen
with universe you sure about this
I’ve never been more sure anything
amount of life however such a finale
never materialized and we still don’t
know whether or not Elie survived his
predicament
number five angel fading
and let’s make them memorable some fans
of this Buffy spin-off would argue that
it ended too soon but they can’t say the
ending wasn’t action-packed but it’s all
part of the job in the finale angel and
his associates set out to assassinate
every member of the circle of the black
thorn I’m talking about killing every
single member of the black thorn you
need to decide that’s worth dying for
they succeed and a group of demon like
creatures appears to enact retribution
let me show you what a real as it can do
as rain pours down on them angel and his
crew steel themselves for another
grueling battle and attend to a plan we
fight pitbull Pacific angel issues the
simple declaration signaling his
unyielding desire to always fight the
good fight let’s go to work
sadly we don’t get to see the battle at
the height of its intensity number four
quantum leap day I was born happy
birthday
this shows main character was constantly
traveling to different dates and popping
in on significant events from years past
Sam it’s November 22nd 92 Katrine soon
and your dad
the drive a tractor sir
so it was difficult to answer every
question and truly end things
satisfactorily I’m gonna get you out of
this
whatever it takes up I’ll get you out is
that said this cliffhanger was a pretty
interesting one that thrilled about 50%
of the fan base and infuriated the rest
although it was never supposed to be the
finale I tell you story death story with
a happy ending but only if you believe
me we see dr. Sam Beckett meet God or
fader whatever’s been bouncing him
around in time in the form of a
bartender who tells him he can return
home whenever he wants are you saying I
can leap home anytime I want
technically yes next thing we know text
appearing after the final fade-out tells
us that Sam never does return home
barking a depressing ending to an
uplifting series number three The
Sopranos
for many fans of this show its series
finale left more questions than answers
the biggest one being this Tony live or
die Wow
final scene takes place in holsten’s
ice-cream parlor where Tony awaits his
family’s arrival hey
throughout the scene people come in
through the doorway and a bell chimes
Tony looks up nervously every time the
soprano son AJ arrives and a mysterious
individual enters with him taking a seat
at the counter he glances knowingly at
Tony’s Cable
we finally see Meadow Soprano parker car
and approached the door to holsten’s
holy for the screen to fade to black
just as the bell jingles again
beautifully rendered to the score of
journey’s don’t stop believin it gains
points for artistry but loses even more
for the sheer baffle minute cause
I hadn’t ordered shop for the tape
me
number two twin peaks’ fire walk with me
not only was this show’s cliffhanger
ending really frustrating it was also a
pretty darn weird uh uh you wash em
Duffy agent Cooper enters the
extra-dimensional locale known as the
Black Lodge in search of Annie who’s
been kidnapped by Windom Earle I am
Linda Mauro win tomorrow upon his
arrival
Cooper suddenly gets possessed by killer
Bob the demonic spirit responsible for
Laura Palmer’s murder the series ends
with an evil cooper ranting crazily
about Annie’s well-being oh then how did
how’s Annie there remains talk from cast
members over two decades later of the
series returning with reports that
Netflix may be interested in bankrolling
such a reboot so maybe this one won’t
stay unresolved forever before we unveil
our top pick here are a few honorable
mentions with the GS walls safely
delivered but the mystery still unsolved
our heroes hurry to the azalea gym and
to the second Johto league gym match
good luck ash you’ll need it ah hey my
ass
what does that mean it means I’m not
Earl juniors father
oh my god we cannot let her die try to
be able choice is your only hope
do what you can Rembrandt
what do we do now
Jack’s gone number one
lost isn’t he
as entertaining and thrilling as this
show was it was also incredibly
confusing with plot twists and
unanswered questions below especially
when it reached its end how do you knew
all this although the series concluded
with Jack sacrificing himself so the
others could escape and Hurley
protecting the island we still don’t
find out what Walt’s deal was why
because you have work to do or what the
light hole in the island was or well
just about everything you’ve been
waiting for you
it is implied that much of what took
place in the final season may have
happened in a kind of purgatory this
ending was particularly infuriating
everyone dies sometime kiddo
because this was precisely the kind of
thing that fans had forewarned would be
a completely unacceptable conclusion
do you agree with our list

your head and demanding answers
am I the only one who’s curious about
the pineapple who is she I have no idea
