The comparable analogy is someone giving you a book that has the last 20 pages cut out. And only when you're a few pages to the "end" do you realize that you'll never know the real resolution to the story. That's what ending on a cliffhanger is like. You know there's more, and completes the whole story.. but you'll never see/read it.
