**Cliffhangers** 1. _Lost_ - (S4:E14) Having left the island in a helicopter, the group watches the island disappear. They are picked up at sea and become known as the Oceanic Six, survivors of a commercial airline that crashed into the Pacific. The fate of those they left behind are not known, until next season. 2. _Twin Peaks_ - final ep, season 1. It appears that Laura Palmer was killed by a demon, “killer Bob,” who possessed some family member or friend of Laura’s-- but who? 3. _Dallas_ - Who shot J.R.? ---

Not really a superweapon in that _ST:TNG_ episode, just a Treknobabble repurposing of the navigational deflector. **Cliffhangers** 1. _Lost_ - (S4:E14) Having left the island in a helicopter, the group watches the island disappear.

And just whose daddy is whose, anyway? And then they cancelled the series. Grrrr. ---

When they received a surprise renewal for a second season, they started it by saying these events occurred 5 years before the bomb. ---

In the final episode, the audience is expecting some resolution, and instead gets one of the modern-day flash-aheads with the cast playing other characters. The audience must wait until season 5, episode 1 for the resolution. NEXT: **July 4th viewing traditions** 1. TMC’s yearly airing of _The Music Man_ ---
