okay here we go my father is the third
commandment that what’s the first
commandment I am the Lord your God now
shalt worship no other God before me boy
those were the days huh you never get a
second chance to make a good first
impression
yeah this is Hansen dr. John Watson
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
epic entrances in television for this
list we’re looking at television
characters who made a really awesome and
memorable entrance anime characters
won’t be included as they will be
getting a separate list of their own hi
choose magma
please be advised that this video will
contain some spoilers
duck duck can be young and strong and so
can i number 10
RB and Lee utopia we’re closed for a
show called utopia the opening scene
isn’t very utopian but it does start the
series off with a bang or somavia just
said we’re closed before we get a
protagonist a plot or any other
information we get to badass villains
who are ruthless funny and make an
amazing entrance
so did I know
who a comic-book store is in the first
place you’d expect to see a massacre
which makes this scene shocking enough
to really make an impact and I just go
please
oh yeah it’s okay so just might you
sleep it off
the worst part is the way they gasp the
owner and customers including a little
kid claiming that it will just make them
go to sleep but that’s just a lie to
make them compliant it’s just gas you go
to sleep number nine drogon rhaegal and
Viserion Game of Thrones Drogo will have
no use for dragon eggs in the night
lands the dragon eggs showed up in
episode 1
so anyone familiar with Chekhov’s gun
has just been waiting for them to hatch
and when the moment comes it does not
disappoint
I am the Dragons daughter and I swear to
you that those who would harm you will
die screaming when Daenerys walks into
her husband’s funeral pyre it looks like
she’s given up but instead it just leads
to one of the most epic moments in a
series that’s pretty epic to begin with
from within two concentric rings of fire
three baby dragons are born this scene
was definitely a dramatic and
unforgettable ending to season 1 and
hinted at how exciting the subsequent
seasons would be
number 8 Frank Underwood house of cards
do you get a good looking Toyota Camry
it’s all I saw so much is revealed about
Frank Underwood in so little time you
might expect a wealth of scheming
two-faced manipulators and a show about
politicians but Democratic congressman
Underwood takes it to a whole new level
it’s ok a whimpering dog brings him
running out of his house in a show of
concern but that’s all it is a show
there are two kinds of pain sort of pain
that makes you strong or useless pain
sort of pain that’s only suffering I
have no patience for useless things with
a cold calm reminiscent of Shakespeare’s
Iago Underwood turns off all emotion and
smothers his neighbor’s injured dog the
worst part or the best part depending on
how you look at it is his creepy
monologue about the meaning of pain ok
I’m okay number seven spike Buffy the
Vampire Slayer in a show that’s seen all
kinds of demons it isn’t easy to make an
impact but spike certainly manages to
there’s no shortage of vamps on Buffy
the Vampire Slayer but while they are
undeniably creepy evil bad guys for
Buffy to stake there’s never a really
cool villain until spike comes crashing
into the welcome to Sunnydale sign in
his black car and black leather duster
complete with blaring rock music and a
cigarette hanging from his lip if
there’s anything the first season’s
villains lacked it was personality and
from the moment he enters spike has
personality in buckets home sweet home
number six number six Battlestar
Galactica this opening sequence is full
of metal and robots which shouldn’t come
as a surprise to anyone familiar with
the 1970s series on which the newer
Battlestar Galactica is based what does
come as a surprise however is the
beautiful red clad woman who struts in
between the Cylon Centurions
in the first episode of this miniseries
yes
what makes this entrance so fantastic is
how shocking it is to anyone suspecting
a standard metallic toaster Cylons have
obviously designed a new and improved
model if the deadly robots can pass as
humans and incredibly sexy humans of
that they’re going to be more dangerous
than ever
Gideon’s weakened
number five Walter White Breaking Bad
the opening scene to the iconic Breaking
Bad packs a lot into a few seconds when
Walter White bursts onto screen
maniacally driving an RV through the
desert wearing nothing but tighty
whities and a gas mask you have no idea
what’s going on but it sure makes an
impact and sets the pace and tone for
the rest of the show as a flash-forward
it’s an excellent way to jump straight
into the action and to set up the theme
of science and chemicals not to mention
it shows how much of a priority Walt’s
family is to him through all
law-enforcement entities this is not an
admission of guilt I am speaking to my
family now number four Douglas Wrentham
the IT Crowd stopped all the clocks
Douglas renan’s entrance is epic
just because it’s sudden flamboyant and
shockingly inappropriate just like the
rest of the show
his father denim Wrentham is serious
Stern pragmatic and an excellent
businessman but in this case the Apple
fell very far from the tree after being
in hiding for seven years
Douglas bursts into his father’s funeral
in the middle of the eulogy has the
priest where is your God where is your
God now here lies a great man a great
man father from the white suit to the
dramatic wail it’s unexpected and just
plain weird and it’s clear from the
first second that Douglas is gonna be a
fun and outrageous addition to the show
well who’s this hi I’m Douglas Jen
barber that’s a beautiful second name
what eating after the funeral Jam number
three Michonne The Walking Dead
looks like Andrea doesn’t stand a chance
against the walkers chasing her but then
with the slash of a katana a mysterious
hooded figure enters the scene dragging
two chained armless walkers behind her
in a show about zombies it’d be hard to
make a more impressive entrance
underneath that hood who is she where
did she come from what is she doing with
those walkers and the best thing about
this scene is that it’s so refreshing to
see a female character make a badass
entrance without relying on her
sexuality
number two will mcevoy the newsroom will
yes sir anything to add
well McAvoy is opening scene is
painfully awkward until it becomes
awesome do you consider yourself
Democrat a Republican or independent I
consider myself a New York Jets fan
Stephen as a celebrity journalist who’s
completely sold out he comes across as a
total pushover but then he snaps what
makes America the greatest country in
the world well Louis and Sharon said it
diversity an opportunity and freedom and
freedom he suddenly can’t stomach the
hypocrisy and boy does he show it in a
speech that is not only funny and
thought-provoking but also proves how
much intelligence and passion the
character actually has there is
absolutely no evidence to support the
statement that were the greatest country
in the world were 7th and literacy 27th
and math 22nd in science 49th and life
expectancy 178th in infant mortality
third and median household income number
four in labor force and number four in
exports we lead the world in only three
categories number of incarcerated
citizens per capita number of adults who
believe angels are real and defense
spending his controversial argument that
the United States is not the greatest
country in the world is epic because
it’s such a shocking message to hear as
is the hard evidence he throws out to
back up his point first step in solving
any problem is recognizing there is one
America is not the greatest country in
the world anymore before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions
fine we’ll stop with the riding crop
rising tide is trying to draw us out I
think it’s time they succeeded you want
me to cross them off Wow
no I want to use them to get to him if
our children can buy pornography on any
street corner for $5.00
isn’t that too high a price to pay for
free speech no really
on the other hand I do think that $5.00
is too high a price to pay for
pornography which no helping your float
how many more with you
the master
reborn
number one death supernatural hello
death we’ve seen lots of epic entrances
on supernatural like the light bulb
shattering lightning striking first
appearance of the angel Castiel but now
the end is nigh and if anyone knows how
to make an entrance
it’s death the fourth Horsemen of the
Apocalypse
would you spare me over another
in Supernatural the four horsemen
foretold in the book of Revelation ride
fancy cars instead of horses but that
doesn’t make them any less apocalyptic
death is smooth and powerful and scary
and the super creepy soundtrack makes
the scene unsettling as well as epic
walking so when God is
so
