to be continued
a lame plot device consisting of a disclaimer often seen at the unexplained or hasty ending of a tv programme informing the viewer that either:
-a main character may have possibly died or left permanently (but usually hasn’t, if they have the actor likely quit working on the show due to pay disputes)
-the script writers are fresh out of ideas until next week/month
-the director of the tv show believes viewers actually have attention spans longer than goldfish, absolutely no lives and care enough about the characters & plot that they are willing to sit on their -ss for days and nights patiently awaiting the conclusion of last week’s cliff-hanger
-the director believes making an audience wait anywhere from 24 hours to 1 week for a continuation will actually build antic-p-tion and suspense among them and generate more interest in his show (instead of actually annoying the living sh-t out of them)
-the script writers got over-ambitious or just plain f-cking lazy, and couldn’t finish the episode within the deadline
-the episode has gone over it’s allotted tv channel timeslot and hence will be replayed sometime later
-there wasn’t enough time to finish the episode within 5 minutes
-technical/financial/on-set/casting difficulties made finishing the episode impossible
-a cliff-hanger/what-if/multi-part story arc has been planned for future episodes (usually occurs when one season of a show ends, the following episode will begin with a recap of the previous one)
actor 1: “but wait… i have the answer to the meaning of life of itself!”
actor 2: “oh my god! oh my god! quick… tell me!”

-agent mulder opens the door to reveal…-

“the end?” can also be used a subst-tute for “to be continued…”
