"Brilliant" moments in TV *SPOILERS*

[JasonM]

In this thread things will be spoiled, don't read further if you don't want to have stuff spoiled. You aren't required to spoiler tag anything you post in this thread, so proceed at your own risk.

The topic title says it all really. What are some of the best moments in TV, that have been etched in your mind for various reasons. It can be heartbreaking, depressing, hilarious, or anything in between. As long as it's a moment/scene that left a profound mark on you.

To start it on an extremely lighthearted note, here's probably the most ridiculous chase and death-scenes I have seen in films. I'm not the one to have uncontrollable laughing fits, but this made me burst out in laughter for a good minute.

"Say my name."

[Benji]

Only recently saw it myself, but this immediately came to mind.

This one really hit me hard at the time and showed even after all the "They're minerals Marie!" stuff Hank was still the biggest bad ass on that show

Arrow had a pretty amazing mid season finale. I've always loved seeing characters just completely outclassed, so this was pretty great for me. I don't think I've rewatched a scene over so much in years.

Also, I'm not sure any scene has ever captured a show better than this one...

I think the entire "Once More, With Feeling" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer deserves this. Just such a fun, depressing and unique episode. "Hush" gets an honourable mention for having like 25 minutes of no dialogue.

[RPS]

This to me is the definitive Breaking Bad scene:

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

Every single aspect of this is perfect.

Also, that scene in New Girl where Schmidt faints after seeing Nick on the balcony.

[Colly]

[Horus]

Again not so much a moment, but "Greatest Hits" from the third season of Lost is an episode of any show that will stick with me. It wasn't ground breaking in any sense but for some reason I just latched onto the Charlie character, so well I didn't want to see him come to an end the episode really did make sure he got a good farewell.

Once scene in particular always gets me, I believe its after the band has broken up a flashback shows Charlie performing a cover of Wonderwall on the street - for some reason I've always found rhis scene just absolutely beautiful

Not Penny's Boat is definitely an all time great moment. And again, not really a moment, but The Constant in general is just incredible.

I'm doing a disservice to myself for not finishing this series I know, but even having only watched 3 episodes past the pilot a few years back, this is my favourite scene in all TV.

The cuts between the family/Family celebrating and mingling with each other and the much less glamorous places where they actually build their empires is brilliant. The best season-ending montage ever.

First time I felt emotionally connected to a TV show and to have something I watched weekly finish, left a big mark on me definitely.

[Matt]

The opening to the series is brilliant but the poignancy of the last scene is just something else

This gave me chills when it first aired. It still does. Elias might be one of my favourite TV villains of all time: sinister, menacing, and yet in his own way he has a code of honour. The show in general is brilliant but Elias is the cherry on top of the cake, so to speak

[TroutMaskReplica]

Emotional stuff.

[JasonM]

Speaking of heart-rending moments in animation.

Look no further than the episode that turned me into an emotional mess.
