moment has to be a real plot twist and
not just an unexpected death also a
spoiler alert is now in effect there is
but one hunt will be hunted number 10
the been revealed scrubs you have to
forgive yourself for everything that
went down the other day scrubs is a show
that perfectly walks the line between
comedy and drama on a regular basis but
the season 3 episode my screw-ups
certainly punched us in the gut with
this twist played by Brendan Fraser then
is a former cancer patient who comes in
for routine tests later when a patient
passes away in JD’s care Ben tries to
persuade the upset dr. Cox that it
wasn’t JD’s fault
it turns out however that Ben was
actually the patient who died appearing
only to dr. Cox who was unable to accept
his friend’s death
number 9 Bartlett’s choice the West Wing
my getting killed would be bad enough
but that is not the nightmare scenario
the nightmare scenario sweetheart is you
getting kidnapped in the very first
season of the West Wing president
Bartlet describes to his youngest
daughter Zoey exactly what it would be
like if she let her guard down at a bar
or party and got kidnapped several
seasons later his worst fear comes to
pass leaving him scrambling to figure
out her kidnappers motivations while
this storyline was shocking and
stressful the truly heartbreaking moment
comes when we learned that Bartlet has
invoked the 25th amendment because he
feels incapable of being both the
President of the United States and a
father you relieved mr. president number
8 the earth shocker Battlestar Galactica
but it seems to want us to find earth
with the Cylons there’s no place like
home but home can change a lot
Battlestar Galactica follows the journey
of human survivors from the 12 colonies
of Kobol as they search for the 13th
colony otherwise known as Earth
and hearth midway through the fourth
season they finally reached their
destination and the audience is just as
shocked as the characters by what they
find their ancient home has become just
as much a nuclear wasteland as the
planets they left behind in a
disheartening twist that casts a dark
shadow over the direction humanity is
heading number seven the John Doe Grey’s
Anatomy double O seven the finale of the
fifth season of Grey’s Anatomy is a
doozy with several dramatic plot lines
threatening the lives of core characters
the big surprise though happens when a
man is brought into the hospital with
severe injuries that are so bad he can’t
be identified
while Meredith is caring for him he
keeps trying to write something on her
hand with his finger but isn’t strong
enough to speak or hold a pen ultimately
she realizes that what he’s writing is
double-oh-seven the nickname that George
received so many seasons earlier almost
as soon as they realize they have one of
their own to save however he dies on the
table number 6 the train house of cards
have you thought about what we discussed
we saw in the first season of house of
cards just how far Frank Underwood was
willing to go to advance his political
career in the second season premiere
however his actions become more extreme
than we ever expected the so-called
suicide of Representative Peter Russo
who was really murdered by Underwood
raises the suspicions of journalist Zoe
Barnes who also happens to be
Underwood’s former lover so what does
Frank do well we knew it wouldn’t be
good but we definitely didn’t expect him
to throw her in front of a train and
kill her this move really cemented
Underwood’s character and kept us on
edge for the rest of the series I want
to believe you
number five violets fate American Horror
Story there are plenty of creepy moments
throughout American Horror Story but one
of the most upsetting took place in
Murder House the first series of the
anthology violet and our family have
moved into a house in LA with a dark
past and she soon begins seeing ghosts
all around her
halfway through the season she’s so
troubled by this that she tries to kill
herself but is saved in the nick of time
bite eight episodes later however Tate
shows her her own body revealing that
she did succeed in killing herself and
had been living as a ghost without
realizing it I tried to save you thank
you number four the calm before the
storm The Walking Dead
this influential zombie show has seen
many heartbreaking moments
remember the Sophia as Walker reveal in
season 2 but what’s worse than seeing
one innocent character lose their life
revealing that 10 characters have been
killed this season 9 scene tortures
viewers by slowly revealing each victim
one by one some prominent some whose
names you may not even know but all
victims of a fierce war to come the
saddest part the whisperers have left
one survivor alive to tell the tale
expecting Siddiq to reveal to his
friends how terrifying this new group of
antagonists is I was supposed to die
with them was ready too but instead he
explains how valiantly The Departed
fought in some cases for and with people
they barely knew if you didn’t catch the
feels hear hear is dead inside as a
walker number three the bent neck lady
the haunting hmm when the haunting of
Hill House debuted on Netflix in 2018
horror fans were engrossed by the
intricate plotline
it’s a story full of twists and turns
but no revelations were more upsetting
than when we got the episode the bet
neck lady midway through the season as a
child Nell sometimes saw a frightening
apparition of a woman with a broken neck
and as an adult she still wonders what
it all means eventually though when she
goes back to Hill House she finds out
that the ghost she’s seeing is actually
number two the chicken wasn’t a chicken
after all
mash was driving me crazy every time it
made a noise I was sure the Chinese
would hear it complain this mash was a
show that addressed the experience of
war in a way that was often
light-hearted and comedic but in the TV
movie that acted as the series finale
there was a moment so dark that it
brought us right back to the real
horrors of the time it comes when the
sardonic Hawkeye is telling a woman to
quiet her chicken as they hide from an
enemy Patrol she eventually had to
smother it to death to stop at clucking
damned chicken it’s eventually revealed
however that it wasn’t a chicken that
the woman was holding but a crying baby
number 1 the red wedding Game of Thrones
[Music]
of course our number one pick had to go
to what will likely go down as one of
the most shocking moments in TV history
sure anyone who had read the novel’s
already knew what was gonna happen but
that didn’t make it any less horrific
Game of Thrones established early on
that it was willing to kill off major
characters like when Ned lost his head
in season 1 but taking out two central
characters in one fell swoop and killing
a pregnant woman and her unborn child
was almost too much for viewers to bear
there are many shocking and upsetting
twists that take place in the show but
this will always be the one we
remembered the most and their regards do
