After a nearly four month hiatus, The World Series of Poker continued today at the Penn & Teller Theater in the Rio Hotel and Casino.
This is the second year that the tournament has had the “gap” format of play, and I haven’t personally warmed up to it yet.
When I was younger, I hated “to be continued” television episodes, and I typically didn’t watch anything with a soap opera format. I remember the the whole “Who Shot J.R.?” fiasco, and I remember openly wondering why anyone would care.
To this day, I don’t watch shows like “Lost” or “Prison Break”, because I need closure to be satisfied. I simply cannot commit an hour of my life each week to be teased and unfulfilled.
I don’t understand the appeal of cliffhangers.
Imagine sitting on a massage table, and 10 seconds before your happy ending culminated, the masseuse told you to come back in two months. Who would find that appealing?
