My youngest sister got in touch recently, asking if I had any good DVD's or Blu-Rays she could borrow, in particular TV show box-sets.
We somehow got into a conversation about TV shows we watched together years ago (being the oldest kid in the house meant I had the first-born privilege of deciding what we watched on the 'spare' TV, and her tastes had to align to that).
Something we always agreed on was this; a good end-of-season cliffhanger was the highlight of any TV show arc (the denouement rarely living up to the set-up of course).
This obviously had more of an effect in the pre-Netflix / box-set / access to torrents time period when you had to actually wait 8 months to find out what happened next.
There are so many cool moments from so many cool shows (Star Trek, X-Files, Buffy, Angel, Farscape, Lost, BSG etc) that immediately spring to mind. It's almost impossible to choose one.
Well, after a bit of mulling it over, here's mine;

The end of DS9 Season 5; The 5-years-in-the-waiting re-take of Terok Nor by Gul Ducat.
Goose bumps people, goose bumps.
So...whats yours?
