What was The Expanse?
I really loved the the Season 4 Next Gen cliffhanger, with the return of (SPOILERS!) All the Klingon civil war stuff on Next Gen was really fun, I thought.
"The Expanse" was the ST: ENT second season cliffhanger where the whole series changed (and for the better). Aliens called the Xindi send a probe to Earth that kills 7 million people. The NX-01 is recalled back to Earth, refitted as a warship and trades in most of its science personnel for marines. The new ship is then sent on a search-and-destroy mission into an area of space called the Delphic Expanse, which is where the Xindi are. The Expanse is a mysterious area of space with a lot of superstitious history and evidence of weirdness... kind of like the Bermuda Zone (or "Bermuda Triangle"). The last scene in the episode is the NX-01 moving through the cloud barrier surrounding the Expanse into whatever lies beyond it. Great cliffhanger.
And, yeah, I remember the TNG Season 4 cliffhanger. I remember seeing that final shot of the episode and thinking "Wow, they out did last season's cliffhanger!"
