On one hand I agree with you, and on the other hand it tickles my nostalgia bone for season finale cliffhangers.
I have really liked how SNW has harkened back to the broadcast era. I like only having one episode a week to watch and be able to discuss and be on the same page with everyone, and I like how they have been individual satisfying stories. Because not everything is a cliffhanger, it’s made the season finale cliffhanger feel more impactful and exciting.
Oh it does to me also, and it’s a good hate. They better not have us wait years as many shows are making us do for a new season.
I’m loving the return to the complete-story-per-episode format also. Discovery and Picard were a mess because they needed to force a cliffhanger into almost every episode. If SNW want to do a big one for a season finale though, that’s fine by me, I trust them to do it properly.
