There could have still been a cliff hanger but his was a giant middle finger to the viewers. Almost insulting. A cliff hanger we can deal with, but ruining such an important and game changing scene with this "find out next season" crap is not excusable. It's not that there was a cliff hanger that got fans upset, it's the fact that they chose to hang it right there instead of after that cheapens the death of one of these characters.

People gonna watch reguardless but to build up to this moment and just cut it off is epic levels of trolling and just lazy.
