So here's part two of the poll. With the story arcs of ENT it sometimes was really hard to decide if it is a cliffhanger or not. So if I listed something you don't like or left something out that you love ... don't be too hard on me. Thank you.
 
VOY | »Caretaker (Part I)
ENT | »Shockwave
ENT | »Cold Station 12
ENT | »United
ENT | »Affliction
ENT | »In a Mirror, Darkly
Star Trek II — The Wrath Of Khan
 
The Adversary

Basics with the ship in Kazon hands finally after teasing us several times over season two, the crew trapped on the planet with no technology as the crew watched the ship leave.

Scorpion

Unimatrix Zero

Shockwave with the Suliban targeting the NX and Archer trapped with Daniels in the devastated 31st century.

The Expanse was less of an OMG cliffhanger but still effective with wanting to know what lies ahead.

Like most arc-based series, ENT's third season had some strong final scene if not necessarily the kind having you on edge but curious what happens next.

Anomaly with Archer walking into the strategy room as the light display falls over his face as the acquired database begins downloading, Rajiin--when things didn't seem like they could get any worse Archer learns a second weapon is being pursued, Rajiin is successfully recaptured with vital biodata and the council is seriously considering going ahead. Exile with the big leap forward by getting its first significant lead on a Xindi colony where part of th weapon is being built.

Stratagem had a nice closing voiceover that really made it feel like they were reaching the end of their journey whether good or bad. Harbinger with the ominous reveal.

Azati Prime was outstanding.

The Council

Countdown

Zero Hour. I know many didn't care for the Alien Nazis but I found it intriguing. Who is the alien? What is going on?

Kir'Shara(which isn't listed)

Babel One and United were both good.

How is the BOBW not on there?

See the previous poll, which is still on the first page of the forum as I type this. I'm sure BoBW will be in the next combined poll.
 
^ Because this is the second part of this poll. Here you can vote for "The Best Of Both Worlds".

EDITED to thank Smiley. Well, thank you. ;)
 
^ this is part 2 of a thread. part one includes TOS, TNG, DS9. i would have prefereed if it was all one thread though so as not to confuse people. I guess they're just a lot of cliffhangers in Trek.
 
ENT Azati Prime works as the best series cliffhanger for me.

Honorable mention to Babel One (the one where Reed and Trip break into the maurader's bridge, it's empty and the camera pans back from Admiral Valdore to the Romulan cityscape). A punch the air, "told you so" kind of moment. All in all, probably my favourite cliffhanger from the Fourth Season.
 
The one where Picard was about to get run over by the Death Probe. Oh, wait a minute, that was the Six Million Dollar Man.
 
"Basics". Crew stranded and their ship stollen... That was intense. I also liked "Zero Hour". I like these out-of-nowhere surprises that leave me wondering what's going on.
 
I went with Baisics for the reasons stated above, Killing Game, because I love the shot from the inside of the blasted holodeck, Zero Hour, and Wrath of Kahn.
