@@Marty.Robins no you weren't and a pinned comment doesn't count kid.
@@Reaperguy67 yes it does
@@Marty.Robins no it doesn't and you still won't be getting anything if you are.
How the fuck are you going to have one of the biggest twists in television as your thumbnail???
All of these years later, and Nell being the Neck Bent Lady stills gives me chills. I was staring at my screen for several minutes.
Spoilers lol
@@ChrisCreatswell yh there was a spoiler warning on the video. Plus the thumbnail already gives it away
The haunting of hill house was one of the only shows that jump scared me so bad that I actually screamed lol the jump scare from when Theo and Shirley were arguing in the car and Nell pops up and screams truly got me good. My neighbors even came to check on me after hearing me scream 😂 I was so caught up in the argument that I wasn’t expecting anything like that
@@Paige0_0me too. Lol
Same!
I love how the Bent Neck lady reveal was so shocking to people but also makes _perfect thematic and narrative_ sense and really feeds into the tragedy of these siblings and it's themes of grief, death, and life.
_And the rest is confetti_
My favorite part about Ward being Hydra is what happened behind the scenes when the cast found out. When they were told, Chloe Bennet (Skye/Daisy) gasped and said “I kissed him!” only for Ming-Na Wen (May) to say “Kissed him?! I f****d him!”
For me it was a point when Agents of Shield turned from another superhero show, that wasn't any different to what premiered on CW to one of the best sci-fi shows ever.
@@bifa5414it’s what ruined the show for me
Wow, you're really easy to impress by average writing. It was a lame show with actors only cast for looks. The whole concept was like making the movie "Jaws" with no shark in it.
then the agents of hydra logo😦
@@miskatonic6210 guess you didn't watch huh? lmao
I know red wedding is more iconic, but to this day i still shed a little tear everytime i remember the hodor scene
_Hold the door!_
@@GenJuhrureminds me of Liviu Librescu. He died holding a door closed during the Virginia tech shootings, saving his students. Guy was also a holocaust survivor.
that part made me SOB
The Red Wedding was also taken from the novels, and happened in season 3, during its peak, while the Hodor scene happened in season 6. After the show's decline started.
The Good Place will always be my favorite because after revealing such a huge plot twist, a ton of people thought that the show would just decline from there, but instead, the later seasons give such a nuanced take to the idea of an afterlife and continued to improve beyond just a fake good place. For those who haven't watched it but now know the big spoiler of the first season, I still really encourage you to watch it it's so worth it even if you know the first twist there is so much more to it than it's first season
I completely agree with all of this. The Good Place also has one of the most moving, meaningful and satisfying finales in all of television history. Good is such an understatement!
The real shock will be the look on the faces of those who do not go to the Good Place when they kick and find out what the Bad Place really consists of. Now there's a plot twist!
I've watched way too much TV in my life so few plot twists really shock me, this one I gotta say was a great one. The twist itself is pretty good, but not radically unpredictable, but they really manage to distract you from that possibility with all the goings-on each episode!
I saw the first season and kept thinking "wait, why would this be here for that person? Why would there be a thing with that character? " then the reveal and it's like oh that makes sense
Fringe was a great show. The way I GASPED when Peter glimmered, showing he was from the other side and Walter tells Olivia, “don’t tell him, he doesn’t know.”
We still rewatch Fringe every few years.
When you find out it's Ben who has died on Scrubs, that was truly a shocker and heartbreaker. The list would not have been complete without that one.
The bent neck lady literally blew my mind. Never saw that one coming. I rewatched that show so many times and its so well done
River Song didn't have time traveling capabilities due to being conceived on the TARDIS. She became part Time Lord because of it. She could travel through time because she had a time traveling wrist device. Sometimes she "borrowed" the TARDIS from The Doctor, without his knowledge.
The TARDIS even recognized her as an additional pilot, else she (revealed as such in The Doctor's Wife, and refers to all other TARDISes as her sisters) really wouldn't have answered any of Melody's summons.
i came to the comments to say this... im glad the Whovians are here :D
I remember watching The Good Place s1 finale and literally figuring out the twist seconds before it hit Eleanor … seeing everyone argue made me go ‘OMG they’re already in The Bad Place bc Hell Is Other People !!!’
The chicken scene for M*A*S*H easily tops the list for me. Watched it 30+ years ago with my grandad, who is a vet. His reaction at the time and me not fully understanding the horror of it until I was older always sticks with me
Amazing scene. MASH had a number of legendary moments, but this was probably the best.
I saw it when it aired in 1983. Alan Alda was incredible and the storyline was devastating. I'll never forget how distraught Hawkeye was and how broken his character was. Even watching the clip on this video broke my heart all over again.
It was a devastating moment and shocking to see, but I didn't find it surprising. Sydney was trying all along to get him to remember something, plus Hawkeye had a significant history of suppressed memory with the mold episode where the guy who he said saved his life had actually endangered it and I'd say the back problems associated with the former classmate having stellar success are worthy of mention.
"In addition to being one of the most underrated sci-fi shows ever made, FRINGE..."
Oh really? I liked the weird thing off the week
I will NEVER forget when Kate showed up and you realized it was a flashfoward. We have to go back Kate HAUNTS ME. Arguably greatest plot twist ever.
"Where do you think we are?"
That line from Scrubs still gives me chills.
The Season 4 finale of Dexter was one of the best episodes of tv I’ve ever seen! The Trinity Killer, Rita in the tub, and Dexter finding their baby sitting in her blood… just as he was found, bringing the entire series to a perfect ending… if it had only ended there!!
I’ll say even with that ending it was one of the goats. New blood was an improvement.
Spoilers Alert:
I'm very surprised that neither of the finales of Veronica Mars's first two seasons made this list. The fact that Logan's Dad was the killer in the first season and Beaver was the killer in the 2nd season, were probably the two most shocking plot twist I've ever seen on television! And I usually nail the guilty party in mysteries.
It wasn't just that Beaver was the killer, it was the fact that he was the one that SA Veronica. That broke my heart.😔
I always have felt that Veronica Mars never got the kudos it deserved. It’s VERY well written and I never understood why it was so underrated. Ofc that’s imho. 🤷🏻♀️
@@jenncarutis8464 I remember it being very hyped at least here in Sweden when it came out. For good reason - I followed it religiously!
On Thirtysomething, when everyone breathes a huge sigh of relief to find out Nancy's cancer is gone -- then the phone rings, and Michael finds out that Gary has died. Absolutely jaw dropping and devastating plot twist, and the biggest emotional rollercoaster ride of an episode I think I have ever seen.
I still think that the River Song/Melody Pond storyline was beautiful and incredibly well done 👍 ❤
It was well done. Unfortunately, the writers have killed anything and everything that was once good or beautiful about Doctor Who in the name of political ineptness! R.I.P. Doctor Who. R.I.P.
Cry me a river
I think it doesn't deserve to be higher on the list than the Bent Neck Lady, at all.
@@Bestofthelot🙄
The River Song reveal makes me teary eyed every time.
Haunting at Hill House messes with your whole perception on time. Even though they do say time is an illusion and obviously it's not a straight line but definitely Nell being the bent neck lady definitely mind blowing. I've rewatched the series and I am still trying to piece together the puzzle pieces especially the order of events from the night they left the house and then the night they returned to the house.
Fine, I’ll rewatch FRINGE!
Lol. Let's do it together.
There's an episode of 'The Librarians' that I really like. They (a crew of supernatural 'fixers') find a famous magical haunted house that supposedly traps and murders people. Through the episode though, they find out that the house, while it IS sentient and aware, IT is a victim too. Its basically a wish granting entity that's been enslaved by a serial killer. I'm oversimplifying, but that's the gist. Good episode.
I love that episode particularly the twist that she's Katie Bender, a member of a real life family of serial killers who after their crimes were discovered and a posse went after them, the Benders disappeared and no one knows what happened afterwards. So putting a real life mystery in a fantasy horror setting is pretty clever.
@@julieporter7805 Yeah, that whole show was pretty good, but that particular episode was awesome.
I think, that The X Files has so many best Plot Twists, that you never saw coming. An Example is The Shooting Scene of Deep Throat in the Season 1 Finale, or the End of Season 7, in wich Scully Reveals, she is Pregnant. But there are so many of this scenes. And: The X Files is my Absolute Favorite Show
I agree with you. Just when you think you've got it figured out here comes another plot twist! The X Files is the absolute best!
@@ceruleanblue09 oooooooooooh Yes. It's my absolute favorite series
Was thinking this, too. I haven’t forgiving them for killing off the Gunmen, either.
Remember the one with the Cheer song?
@@hadschihalefkn right
The Neck Bent Lady is possibility one of the best twists on TV shows, and it was spoiled for no reason on the thumbnail.
For absolute gut punches, my tops are MASH and Scrubs. I can never not tear up when JD asks Cox, "Where do you think you are?" Knowing those two characters, JD's compassion and love and Cox's heartbreak really bring on the waterworks. And MASH should be waaayy above the Simpson's, geez. The wisecracking Hawkeye Pierce losing his mind seemed strange as the episode unfolded. A chicken? So what, right? Then the reveal that the woman, at Hawkeye's insistence, kills her own baby.
Well Ward's betrayal was indeed shocking, I always find it heartbreaking. I always like him in Agents of SHIELD, but to think he was a villain all this time. At least he made a great one, even if it was still heartbreaking.
flashforwards will forever be the best twist in media, from the lead up, visuals and overall suspense within the episode it truly redefined TV's watcher perspective
Great list! The Hodor reveal and Ned Stark dying in GOT were more shocking than the Red Wedding for me.
The Hodor one crushed me
Ned dying followed the first book (A Game of Thrones) so people who read it were not that shocked.
@@AdderTude What? No way...
The only reason i know the Bob Newhart one was because of the alternate/spoof ending they did for Breaking Bad, where Walter wakes up as Hal from Malcolm in the Middle next to Lois.
The prison twist isn’t even in the top 5 twists in Mr Robot, lol. The 407 father reveal or the twist of who Elliot really is in the finale are way better.
Absolutely
Agreed. They really dropped the ball on that one
The reveal that Peter Pan is Rumplestilkin's father in Once Upon A Time still has me shocked to this day
Scrubs is absolutely the most underrated show ever.
That plot-line is so devastating and Brendan Fraser and John C McGinley need sooooo much more recognition for their character acting.
i think the bent neck lady stills the best tv plot twists of all time
The MASH twist was a perfect example of the masterful writing of the show, while it is often seen as something of a comedy now due to the various "funniest MASH moment/s" videos on YT at the time it was actually societal commentary candy coated with comedy, the episode meant to comment on the inescapable effects of war on those who serve no matter their role. Hawkeye was a key part of the unit's "sanity through insanity" and really was seen as ultimately unshakable in the face of the issues they all went through, his compassion and principles appearing to make him untouchable by the war and simply waiting to return home the same person as when he left, only to reveal that no one leaves war unchanged and without trauma.
South Park "Scott Tenorman Must Die" when Cartman gets Scott Tenorman to eat the ashes of his parents.
the Amber twist in House should be an honorable mention, or the hallucination episode where House think he kissed Cuddy and ends up put in a mental hospital.
So happy to see 24 on this...was nervous when getting in the top 5 and somehow wasn't said yet. 24 was awesome. perfect for binge watching
I only wish Kiefer Sutherland would come back as Jack in 24, even if it is one final mission to end all missions.
@@varunsrinidhi4747 THIS...
@@varunsrinidhi4747 FOX, which is where 24 first aired, was bought by Disney....do you really want Disney mucking around with something like 24?
@@jacobyrassilon fair point, just like when I first thought Disney was going to muck about with Daredevil, Kingpin and The Punisher when they bought those characters, which I may still be a bit apprehensive about when Daredevil: Born Again gets released. So it's for the best for Disney to not to take any chances of ruining a golden character like Jack Bauer.
@@varunsrinidhi4747 They already destroyed the Kingpin in Hawkeye/Echo, showed us a glimpse of how they are about to destroy DD in She-Hulk and I can't even imagine how they will emasculate The Punisher. Disney is a place where great franchises go to be sanitized before their death.
I'd say that the bigger twist of Earth being a radioactive wasteland from BSG is that its inhabitants were cylon. That and Starbuck being dead.
I agree and a close 2nd to me was Boomer shooting Adama while being congratulated for a succesful mission revealing she was connected to the "hive" all along.
The odd thing was that everyone could see and touch Kara until her final goodbye to Lee after they land on our Earth.
I actually had an emotional breakdown the moment The Bent Neck Lady episode went to black. It effed me up.
That MASH episode is still absolutely soul destroying even now.
I just adored Fringe , one of the best Syfy shows i ever watched
We rewatch it every few years and always catch something new. I love John Noble.
I knew Agents of SHIELD had to be on this list
Laurel's return from the dead in Arrow was shocking IF you don't watch the Flash. If you do, you'd know it's just Earth 2 Laurel with a makeover.
I can't believe Buffy being in Heaven isn't on here.
Missing out the "I got this" twist in Sons of Anarchy is criminal.
good one!
this!! 100%
No Twin Peaks? Really?🤔
Probably because the show is one big plot twist itself 😅 but an honorable mention would have been nice, it’s a brilliant show
Thank you Watch Mojo for no longer putting the full spoiler in each number’s title intro! Finally giving us the option to skip spoilers! 🙌🏼
So Carl made it to the list but not the death of Glen and Abraham on the walking dead. I literally had to take a break before I could continue the show 😭😭
kinda agree, especially after they previously did the "fake" Glen death under the trash dumpster. I just knew at that point he would survive until the end...oops.
Everyone knew Glen was dying and Abraham wasn't sticking around long either. Carl was being groomed for basically the entire show to take ricks place as leader.
Even though i never read the comics i knew that Negan killed Glen in the comics so i was expecting it
@@kieranowens5346
Everybody hated the showrunner for killing off Carl. I remember Chandler Riggs posting that he was just talked to about staying for another three seasons and then this twist was pulled on him, apparently infuriating his dad.
Well, most people already knew that Glen had a date with Negan and Lucille, so that wasn't a surprise as much as it was just heart breaking. The Carl thing was Scott Gimple being a douche bag and not wanting to pay Chandler Riggs an adult salary after he turned 18, and deviated so much from the source material that it pissed off a lot of people.
Buffy's last episode deserves a mention. It changed EVERYTHING
I just went to the comments to add this also…!
Or that Glory is a god!
12:03 although I'm almost 30, I loved M*A*S*H, my wife did as well and we first saw this portion of Hawkeye's story. With all that happened in the show, we were certain that either we had seen the worst or we'd be able to digest whatever would come up while watching it. And about of 11 years ago when we watched this we were blown away. We usually would talk during/throughout the episodes we watched. And I still remember how quiet it was when this was revealed. Couldn't hear a thing but the TV, it kinda alerted me to how shocking it was. And like it happened last night, I remember turning to my wife to see how she was doing. Smh..I turned to look at her, streams of tears that had dropped and seeing one fall from her eye. Eyes wide open, not blinking, both hands cupped over her mouth. Almost like she was on that bus and just saw/realized what happened. Smh, I think that sh.t hit me so hard bcz it is not...AT ALL..often nor easy to make her shed a tear, let alone weep. We've known each other since we were 8. There has been maybe 4 or 5 times in our whole lives that she has wept like that...Didn't really know what to do or say. Just put my arm around her. Sh.t, I didn't realize how much watching this scene when Hawkeye breaks down and remembers the "chicken" was a baby until my wife laid her head on my right shoulder after i put my arm around her. I rested mine on hers and looked back up at the TV & in a second everything was blurry then suddenly clear and I felt my own tears race to their finish line of my chin. It may not be funny, certainly wasn't so then, but I remember thinking to myself, "Sh.t, bru. Pull yourself together.", lol. But yeah, that one f.cked us up. We actually never talked about it so I forgot all about it until now. But...yeah, that one was big rough on us..HUGE rough
Ummmm where’s Dark???? Literally had the best plot twists of all time
It's not in English and Americans generally can't read subtitles.
@@nosemellon it's dubbed brilliantly
@@nosemellon It's not that we can't, it's that you can't read subtitles AND watch the actors' faces. Plus the dub is actually awesome.
@@WynneL Yes, you actually can. 😂 I read them without even being aware of it, and I do not remember subtitled films any differently or less.
@@nosemellonyes we can 💀 dark was hugely popular in the US. that’s not why it’s not on the list, there’s tons of other shows people are suggesting. They can’t include everything lol. Not that deep
Mr Robot should have like 4-5 spots on here at the very least.
How did the Buffy episode not make this list?!
When Buffy has flashes to "reality", showing she's just a delusional girl in a psych hospital.
Probably because similar shows did that too. Star Trek: TNG, Roseanne's Series Finale (the original one), etc. I think it got played out, especially since the "reality" wasn't the actual "reality".
I think bc that trope has been done soo many times tbh....Shutter Island, Charmed the tv series where Piper went through the same thing, they actually included one of the series on this list with the guy bein in prison/psych ward all this time, it's been reused to many times tbh
Because it wasn't a "twist", it was her imagination. Had it been the final episode of the series with that ending it would have been a twist.
Every scifi show does that, and it always sucks. Is this mental hospital real or are my awesome scifi adventures real? Well it's not the series finale and this isn't St Elsewhere, so obviously this mental hospital is fake.
We waste 45 minutes waiting for main character to get to where we were at minute 1.
you could say the truth about Dawn in season 5 of Buffy.
Ok hold up- Eobard Thawne/Harrison Wells/Reverse-Flash not being on this list is criminal.
Agreed,that was a brilliant twist
Was I the only one who connected the dots between River Song and Melody Pond before the reveal? There is an episode where they literally say "In the forest there are no rivers only ponds" and I was like, Oh, they are the same person.
You aren't the only one, by far. It was incredibly obvious.
@@bandgeekforlife406 Right! Thank you. This shows up so often as a "twist" and I just wonder if people didn't watch the show.
@@sagasvensson8920 i wonder that myself...
I really like the revelation of the Blake Society in The Mentalist.
On Succession- The very last episode of the last season was the better plot twist where the sister turned on her brother not only no making him CEO, but selling the company.
that ending was really godawful man
The greatest twist was Logan Roy dying, while you knew it could happen the way they did it was masterful to have it hit out of nowhere and give fake previews in the week before.
Fringe was my show! That reveal about Peter had my jaw dropping to the floor.
Honourable mentions:
Arrested Development - Justice is Blind
Babylon 5 - Sinclair is Valen
Star Trek TNG - Yar’s daughter
Buffy Vampire Slayer - Joyce’s death (or, rather, the relatively ‘normal’ manner of her death)
Sinclair twist was a brilliant send off for the actor who had to leave due to health struggles. Yars daughter was good, glad she got more air time because I had such a crush on Tasha, oh my, I would ad the way Garibaldi betrayed Sheridan in Season 4, that change from the first 3 seasons as such a loyal person, then you find out that it is all because of Bester, wow
I love how you have River Song on here. I still love that 2 part finale and the song still gives me chills (in a good way) beautifull classic music.
Ben from Scrubs never fails to choke me up, even just thinking about it. It resonates so hard to being in denial of my own little sister's death, which happened a few years after I first saw that episode. I connect the two a lot, and rewatching it, while initially difficult, has helped me find a little closure.
I miss you, Megan...
House of Cards: Frank Underwood giving someone a little push...
🏆🥇
@@BlackHatCinephile It's sad that you waste your time spamming pointless medals and defending spam comments. Also they weren't
I would've chose the season 4 reveal that Rita was the last victim of the Trinity killer because I did not see that one coming at all
Jon Snow’s death.
i had forgotten about that alias twist, but i remember now how stupid it was for vaughn to have given up on finding sydney and REMARRIED after only TWO years. he should know better than anybody that you can't assume someone's dead unless you have a body and two years was way too little time to move on and marry someone else.
The Red Wedding is my all-time shocking and upsetting twist. 😢
Some of these aren't exactly unexpected plottwists, but suspicions I was super unsure about and that emotionally still shook me when the reveal finally came.
They forgot to mention in battlestar galactica that the 13th colony was full of humanoid cylons and that they were the final 5!!!!
For me one of the greatest plot twists was in Person of Interest where it is revealed that the the victim of the week that Reese and Finch were trying to save Charlie Burton, was in fact the underground figure Carl Elias, who was taking over organized crime in NY.
Killing a child, Walt? You entered villain territory with that move, but we love you all the more for it. I’m not saying what he did was morally right, but it was a shocking twist that pulled the rug out from under my feet.
I got mad shivers seeing Hill House show up. The bent-neck lady story loop absolutely floored me the first time watching it
#1 the reveal of Jim from I.T. being Moriarty in bbc Sherlock
#2 The identity of of the killer in “Devil”
I was kind of hoping that number one would also be rita from dexter.
I can't believe the ending of Sharp Objects isn't on this list
that MASH story still bothers me. saw it when aired... I could not get into Lost, and having read Pincher Martin by Golding recently to it, I called the ending of the series while still in season one..., hated St Elsewhere twist... Loved the Newhart twist... and was a little sad about the River Song twist as I cannot see Dr Who ever quite being as great as her story again. her last night with the Doctor was lovely. (24 years wasn't it?)
There was one twist you should have put in here. In the Jodie Whittaker episode of Doctor Who: Spyfall Part One, a character known only as "O" (Sacha Darhwan,), reveals to The Doctor that he is none other than yet another regeneration of The Doctor's oldest enemy, The Master, something which even die hard fans in a long-running science fiction series didn't see coming.
There's also one more twist concerning the Jodie Whittaker era. In Whittaker's last story "The Power of The Doctor," the female doctor (members of her race, The Time Lords, can change genders during their regenerations into another body) regenerates into a previous body played by David Tennant (who played the title character from 2005 to 2011), something that has never happened in the show's narrative.
The worst part of Carl dying in The Walking Dead was that not to long before it happened, he bought a house because he got promised they wouldn't kill him off and then they pulled this on actor Chandler Riggs, that's why he was caught off guard, as far as I remember. Pretty messed up situation all around, the fans were NOT happy about it.
Exposing the Bent Neck Lady to anyone who hasn’t been gifted the experience of this series in a thumbnail even 6 years later should be an arrestable offense!
The "it was all a dream" trope sucks, makes all you've seen and all emotions you've been gone through so far pointless! 🙄
It's a massive middle finger to the viewers, especially with the series finale since by the finale it's diehard fans watching.
@@arthas640 exactly! 😕
Peter Pan being Rumple's father in once upon a time left me so shocked. Such an incredible plot twist
I sobbed like a scared child at the Nell/Bent-neck lady one… It just felt so CRUEL!!! 😭🤯
I loooove This is us. I really didn't catch the fireman smoking and all... the hardest "WHAT?" was Miguel showing up tho hehe (I love him now tho)
The ending of Severance was unreal. I remember being in awe for the rest of the night -- shame to not see that on here!
The 100 last season when Clarke killed Bellamy. Shattered my world.
I saw this and was like "I wonder where on this list is Nina Myers gonna show up?"
Knew it would be up there, but never expected it to be #1...
I LOVE 24 dearly... I knew that would be on this list lol
7:45 No, he doesn't "only just survive". Sherlock even makes the point that she very precisely shot him so that he would survive.
SPOILER* The Battlestar Galactica one wasn't complete. They left that Earth & after getting attacked Starbuck? Programmed the ships GPS by playing "all along the watchtower" with the buttons whereby they escape the Cylons & end up on a planet with plenty of resources. It's THIS planet. It turns out that they're OUR ancestors, not the other way around.
Babbbyyy, these two! It's easy to understand why Armand always felt so threatened by Lestat, and to a certain extent, I'm empathetic; it's a tough spot to be in. To know innately that no matter how much you love a person, that even if you live forever, there's always going to be somebody out there who loves them more, who they love more than you even if they won't admit it to themselves. Lestat loves Louis enough to live without him, so long as Louis is alive, it doesn't even matter if they're not together. Chile, ain't no competing with that!
In Battlestar Galactica (the reboot), the 13th colony called Earth was destroyed in a nuclear war. However, this world was not our Earth. They found our Earth in the finale when the last of the survivors together with some rebel Cyclons attacked the Cylon HQ to end the threat once and for all. They succeeded but Galactica was severely damaged. Adama ordered Starbuck to make the final jump for the ship. Starbuck did using the music pattern in her dream as coordinate. Thats when they found our Earth. Its around the early human era and they still live in caves.
The ending of St. Elsewhere...
I remember a fancomic of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends where it had a similar ending;
Frankie had autism and created the show by staring at a snowglobe containing a familiar house.
A lot of these lists get things wrong, but they absolutely nailed with Nina being number one. I still remember watching it when it first aired. The next day at work - we were all 24 fans - nobody got any work done because all we did was talk about it. Then, of course, there was the horrific closing scene of the following episode (the season finale). God, I miss that show.
LOST is the only TV show that had a big plot twist almost every single episode. That is the reason why I binged all the seasons in just a couple weeks and its still to this day my favorite tv series ever.
Though Red Wedding was still the most emotionally shocking to me.
Nina was a cool twist for the sake of a twist but the best twists are ones that upon rewatch you see signs of it the whole time, there is no such thing in 24, they just retconned her to villain after the twist, in fact much of her behavior was counter productive to facilitating the main villains' plans. Same with Ward in A.o.S., the problem with changing a character that way is you gotta find the right balance of hinting at it without outright giving away the plot, you want it to be believable after the shock wears off.
That MASH scene was amazing. Usually, that show had me crying from laughter. That performance by Alan Alda had me actually crying.
The plot twists from 'Dark' blew my mind more than anything else I've seen
I was really upset when Sparky passed away, but I am still mad at myself for laughing so loud at when Agatha said I killed Sparky too😂😂😂
You forgot the finale episode of the original "The Fugetive" where there really is a one armed man who gets caught; the "Criminal Minds" episode where it is revealed that the cannibal that the BAU is chasing has fed one of his victims to the volunteers searching for her; and then there is the O.G. of reveals--the person who shot J. R. on "Dallas".
Again, BOO ...
