I'd add Fringe Season One on there but only in the context of Season 2's opening which was awesome.  And ALF was awesome except they never finished the storyline.  I remember being a kid and then the aliens shown a light down on him and then they had To Be Continued... but they never did.  I was one sad, little kid and I never forgot.  Damn, you NBC!!!!!!!!!  I think it was NBC.

I prefered BSG season 3 finale more than the 2nd.  The reveal of four more cylons, the return of Starbuck, and the final image of Earth at the end made me crazy.

As for ALF, there was one or two TV movies that finished the story.  I don't think the family appeared in it.  Alf was a prisoner of the US government but got help in escaping.  That's all I remember.

Okay, so, a couple of things that need to be corrected (and I hate being this guy, but I'm going to be this guy anyway)

~ 24, at least once a season, has a silently ticking clock. I"d have to go back and rewatch to point out where they all are, but once a season, the clock ticks silently.

~ I may be misremembering this, but wasn't the cliffhanger to ST:TNG that Riker ordered the Enterprise to RAM the Borg cube and destroy it? It's been forever since I've seen that episode, so I could very possibly be wrong.

Other than that, though, I liked this list. Well done.

Pretty good list and I also hate being that guy, Rifty, but you may want to read that line about 24 again. It is the only time in 24 history that the clock counts down silently  to the END the season. It has of course ticked silently during the season when someone of signifance died but never at the very end.

And I'd definitely add the very end of the first seaon of Fringe. The Twin Towers shot was crazy.

Farscape, specifically the end of season 2, Die Me Dichotomy.   It left Chrichton on an operating table in the midst of a brain operation with the top of his skull  off, his language center compromised so he couldn't talk, and his brain surgeon lying dead on the floor.  While Scorpious made off with the brain chip with the secret wormhole info on it.  Oh, and Aeryn was dead.

The other season enders were killers too.  The end of the 4th season left Chrichton proposing to Aeryn, her accepting, and them both getting blasted into sand.  No show could shock like Farscape.

And killing Helo on BSG would have been a big mistake.  He was the only character on the whole show who was worthy of respect.  Everybody else was a lying, cheating bastard.  Everybody.

Farscape had some crazy season enders.  Same for B5. 

All Hail Hanso...Son!

If it's Trek we're talking, we'd have to add the Season 5 finale, where Sisko abandons DS9 and the Dominion take over. Season 6, as well, should be noted for the death of Jadzia and Sisko and son head back to Earth, leaving Kyra in charge.

Voyager as well had Basics from Season 2 (the Kazon kicking Janeway and crew off her own ship while stranding them on some pitiful rock) and Season 3 as Janeway forms an alliance with the Borg to fend off a certain species with a certain number.

Still waiting to see what has happened on "Warehouse 13" though.

and while she's here, hey karas, you're the Brad Pitt aficionado, so I'd expect you'd automatically know any differences between "Troy" on DVD and the unrated cut that appears on Blu-Ray -- any thoughts?

(come on karas, don't deny it -- Brad Pitt in high definition, you've tasted the fruit of that garden I'm quite certain)

In the first season of 24, Jack actually ate a meal at CTU.  How he holds in his pee though, we'll never know

Nice list, but the Simpsons?  I liked the epsiode too, but its not like it altered the Simpsons universe or anything. 

Starlight, I don't have a blu-ray player.  (I still watch stuff on VIDEOTAPE sometimes.)  But Brad's nekkid chest would be mighty appealing in hi-def.  Hmmmm....   *drool*

Excuse me.

I remember Best of both Worlds part 1 like it was yesterday. I had watched some TNG in the past but season 3 was the first time I watched a full season. BOBW 1 was the first time I was exposed to a clifthanger. I watched it, enjoyed it and couldn't wait till the next weekend to see what happend. Saturday night came and I sat down excited and then I went WTF when they started airing an episode I had seen before. Every weeks I would turn in and still I would get a rerun. I was begining to think that BOBW 1 was how the show ended and that was it. Then at one point during the summer I started buying and reading Starlog and that's when it made sence. To this day I still love BOBW 1 and 2. I even made myself a home made cut where I included the begining of DS9 into it.
