best TV death scene

[Baby Lee]

I'd always thought of the death scene Lt. Colonel Blake was the gold standard.

Buffy's mom was a breakthrough in somber television, it wasn't melodramatic in the least, but the raw starkness of it was more devastating.

Then Eddard Stark in season one of GoT shaked shit up

But I was reading an interview of Anthony Edwards for his new Zero Hour, I was reminded how perfectly executed they did his death.

"Be generous, with your life, with your love, with everyone."

"Don't cry for me"
"I won't daddy"



Not to even mention one of the most memorable deaths in the movies as Goose, though was more impactful for Meg Ryans reaction than the death itself.

Fred G. Sanford, several episodes.

I guess a better question is 'what do you think makes a great scene?'

Poignancy
Emotion
Suddeness
Brutality
Creativity
Explicitness
How beloved the character was
An epic buildup

Do you like badass deaths or tearjerker deaths?

Thinking more about Dr. Green, his loss of the pre-eclamsic expectant mother in 'Love's Labor Lost' was pretty effing epic too.
Moving because went from healthy to dead over the course of the entire hour, and it was based on Dr. Greene didn't have the benefit of an obstetrics attending that day and made a tragic misdiagnosis, and Bradley Whitford straight up nails the helpless distraught husband.

Someone condensed it and set it cheesy music.

Brutality, all day errrrrrday.

Anything in the Walking Dead works for me.

The part where Rick shot the legless zombie in episode one of season one was pretty powerful.

Then probably when they killed Shane.

Edard Stark sets the standard for me. I hadn't read the books and didn't expect it.

Probably next up is Varos deathly Spartacus blood and sand. It was riveting.

Your ****ing post made me drag out the DVD, but I'm glad I did. It completely eluded me that Sansa nodded her assent right before Eddard confessed his treason.


Don't know if it's worse that that twat goes through life with no idea the gravity of that nod, or if she does.

Negatory. I'm probably the whitest guy on the forum.

And I'm glad you dug out the DVD. It is worth watching again.

As you continue watching it won't be much of a spoiler, as the showdown becomes inevitable and you know who the stars of the show are.

And when it happens you won't be thinking 'oh that one time I read CP totally ruined THIS.'

And there are PLENTY of twists and turns to along the way.

Come back later and tell me I'm wrong.

Boy I had forgotten this episode. I remember every female that worked at my hospital ocame to work that next day red eyed from crying through the night.

What a great episode that was.
