Spoiler alert - they die!

Could this be a sign that the decade of stupid is ending? I'll try not to be too optimistic, but certainly the inglorious death of the "cliffhanger genre" is a good sign. "Lost" couldn't offer its viewers any proof that they have been doing something useful with their time. "24" ended in some kind of anti-climax that I couldn't even be bothered with. "Grey's Anatomy", as I said before, changed its ways and learned from its mistakes. "Heroes" was simply abandoned by its viewers and canceled, and the retarded bastard child "Flash Forward" couldn't even get approved for a second season.

I have been comparing cliffhanger series to an asshole boyfriend, who instead of offering you an interesting relationship and making you feel special, keeps you constantly jealous, doesn't call you back, makes you always wonder where he is, and that's the only way he knows to keep you interested. Therefore, if our taste in television has matured enough to stay away from this kind of abusive relationship, we have a reason to be proud and optimistic.
