I always imagined that Best of Both Worlds had the best cliffhanger in television. I can't imagine waiting months to see what happened. I first saw in on a Spike marathon and I could hardly put up with the commercials(pre-DVR).
The first part aired in May (don't quote me on that, just what my aging memory recalls), and then the second part was the following September. But that was a piece of cake given earlier "training" between the summer of '77 and the summer of '80, and then the summer of '80 and the summer of '83, waiting for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi after Star Wars.
Redemption (where Gowron is elevated to leadership of the Klingon High Council and a war breaks out) had a big moment when Denise Crosby appeared with the Romulans, with no explanation. That was a long wait too.
I was too young for the Empire Strikes Back theatrical release, but I can't imagine there being much worse than that with Han left frozen in carbonite, Luke having his entire world turned over by Vader, and knowing there'd be no answers for several years.
