writers

Writers are jerks..... so I became one. Writers tend to leave you hanging on for more.  I guess that is why they call them cliffhangers. I HATE THIS. I just want to find out what happens, no wait, ugg. This is primary used in TV shows to make you watch the next season or episode. For example, in the show, How I Met Your Mother, the viewer thinks one thing would happen and then, just like that, a completely different thing occurs.  Barney (NPH) was supposed to propose to Patrice but it was a trick to get Robin to a place so that he could propose to her.  I imagine that everyone who watched the show last night gasped at the change of events.  The show also does an amazing job at showing the viewer a scene in one episode and then in a later episode showing an entirely different view of the scenes events which inevitably lead to a different outcome.  Geniuses? Cleverness? Luck? all of the above? Whatever it is, I hope to figure it out one day so that I can do the same thing.
