We'll have to agree to disagree on this one then :-) for me both reasons 
are extremely compelling.  I'm trying with this series to emulate a 
"real" (call it "professional" or "commercial" if you want) serial.  
Space being constant is absolutely mandatory in that case, and ending in 
a cliffhanger is pretty much necessary...

best,
