ugh . . . more cliffhangers

Perhaps I have just gotten too used to watching tv shows on dvds, where I can watch 4-6 episodes in a row and know that within two days the next batch of episodes will come from netflix. Although tonight's shows had lots of quality moments I am really frustrated by the lack of resolution on any of them and having to wait a whole seven days for the new plot developments/twists [guess I will have to fill the void by the suspense of the playoff chase and for once I can root for both of my AL teams at the same time and not have a conflict of interest :)]. Of course it is unrealistic to expect resolution of everything on the first episodes of the season, but one can hope can't they - or at least have the plot lines I care about somewhat resolved, right ?
Since I know some people who are reading this taped certain tv shows tonight I will resist from venting/speculating about plots, and just ask was it really necessary to jump to the future and expose/severely limit future plot lines - and if you are going to jump to the future why wasn't a certain young lady standing next to a certain young man; although I am happy that a certain man was standing next to a certain woman.
