00:00You think my life is some precious thing to me.
00:03Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most iconic scenes from television that shook audiences to their core.
00:10We'll be getting into major spoilers for various TV shows, so consider this your warning.
00:14I have been dreaming and fantasizing and in love with Furio.
00:21Number 10. Nell is the Bent Neck Lady, The Haunting of Hill House.
00:26Now you stand there and you talk about ghosts and spirits, and you sell tickets for the privilege, and yet you don't believe in any of it.
00:36There are a ton of scary sights to behold in Netflix's acclaimed horror novel adaptation, and the Bent Neck Lady might be the most unnerving character to unpack.
00:44The dark apparition terrorized young Nell Vance, and eventually followed her into her adult life too.
00:50And after the house, when we lived with my aunt, I saw her some more.
00:54But then he came into my life, and she went away.
01:00And then she killed him.
01:02Nell thought that the Bent Neck Lady was a ghost, but later it would be revealed that it was actually her all along.
01:07Unfortunately for Nell, she learned this when she tragically died.
01:11As you would expect, this moment was haunting.
01:14The reveal showed that the Bent Neck Lady wasn't just a scary ghost, but instead a destructive, self-fulfilling prophecy.
01:19It showed how Nell's constant fears and anxieties, which started as a young girl, consumed her until the bitter end.
01:26I just need a little help sometimes.
01:28Hey, Nellie.
01:31Nellie.
01:34Nellie.
01:36Number 9.
01:37The Gorman Massacre.
01:38Andor.
01:39Close all the exits.
01:41Yes, sir.
01:42Channel 5 is open.
01:44Standing by, sir.
01:45As the Gorman people find their way of life disturbed by the Empire,
01:48their last stand against tyranny is swiftly stomped out.
01:52In several horrifying sequences,
01:54the Gormans are gunned down and killed by stormtroopers and battle droids.
01:58Come on down!
01:59Get him out of here!
02:01Open ball!
02:02How often do we see something as brutal of this scale in Star Wars?
02:07In fact, how often do we see something so utterly destructive on a family-friendly streaming platform like Disney Plus?
02:13The Gorman Massacre from Andor was a completely sobering look at violence that other Star Wars properties shied away from.
02:19Oh, dear.
02:21We're gonna let people know what happened.
02:23Help me.
02:25It stunned audiences everywhere and reminded us just how evil the Empire is.
02:30What happened here utterly broke Cassian Andor.
02:33And it pretty much broke viewers everywhere, too.
02:36Number 8.
02:37Walter's Death.
02:38Breaking Bad.
02:39Kind of under the weather.
02:41Like you've got the flu.
02:44That would be the ricin I gave you.
02:47I slipped it into that stevia crap that you're always putting in your tea.
02:51There's a good reason why Walter White is considered to be one of television's greatest characters.
02:56His transformation from a mild-mannered dad to a mass-manipulating drug dealer is simply unrivaled.
03:01So, considering how iconic he is, his death should be important, too.
03:05After saving Jesse from some unsavory crooks, Walt is injured during the action.
03:10Nothing happens until I hear you say it.
03:16I want this.
03:17In his last moments alive, he recollects on everything he built and bleeds out on the floor as authorities swoop in.
03:24When everything was all said and done, cancer wouldn't be what finally killed him.
03:28It would be his own hubris.
03:29Then do it yourself.
03:30Well, technically a gunshot wound, but you get what we mean.
03:36His ambitions were ultimately his own undoing.
03:39And his death sent shockwaves across the TV landscape.
03:43Number 7.
03:44They Have to Go Back.
03:45Lost.
03:46You look terrible.
03:50Thanks.
03:53Why did you call me Jack?
03:55By the time the third season of this acclaimed series aired, viewers thought they understood the show.
04:01Sure, Lost had numerous mysteries and plot points dangling around, but fans figured they knew what they were getting into.
04:06And, well, they were wrong.
04:08In the season 3 finale, we get a scene with Jack.
04:10And since he's not on the island, fans assumed this was a routine flashback.
04:15However, Kate's appearance and Jack's delivery of a now-iconic phrase changed everything.
04:21We have to go back, Kate.
04:23The reveal that Jack and Kate actually left the island was mind-boggling.
04:29What we saw was a flash forward, not a flash back.
04:32And that revelation blew the fans' minds.
04:35Suddenly, all the rules we thought we knew about Lost were effectively thrown out the window.
04:41We have to go back!
04:43Number 6.
04:44Glenn's Death.
04:45The Walking Dead.
04:47Oh, hell.
04:53I can see this is hard on you guys.
04:55This is a franchise where fans know that no one is ever guaranteed to be safe.
04:59It's filled with zombies, after all.
05:01But just because The Walking Dead plays fast and loose with the lives of its characters doesn't mean it isn't shocking when fan favorites are picked off.
05:08Look at Glenn Rhee, for example.
05:09He was there from the start, but that didn't stop Negan from beating him to death with his barbed wire baseball bat.
05:14I need you to know me.
05:22So, back to it.
05:28The carnage that unfolded in the season 7 premiere was the talk of the town.
05:32It utterly changed the show forever, and the characters were never the same either.
05:36Not only did Glenn's death completely devastate fans, it also cemented Negan as one of television's cruelest bad guys.
05:43Things have changed.
05:45Whatever you had going for you, that is over now.
05:51Number 5.
05:52Ned Stark is Decapitated.
05:54Game of Thrones.
05:55Treason shall never go unpunished.
05:59Sir Illyn, bring me his head.
06:03If you want to talk about OMG moments, then you have to talk about Ned Stark's decapitation.
06:08This death happened several episodes into the start of Game of Thrones, and it was monumental.
06:13That's because, up until then, fans believed that Ned was the show's main character.
06:18But that annoying brat King Joffrey ordered him to be executed, and, well, that's what happened.
06:23I betrayed the faith of my king, and the trust of my friend Robert.
06:27If the guy everyone thought was the protagonist got his head chopped off just 9 episodes in,
06:32it meant that all bets were off.
06:34Plus, Ned's death incited the War of the Five Kings, a major plot point of the show.
06:39Your dominion over the veil begins now, onward, to claim what is yours.
06:45Popper!
06:47Popper!
06:48Ned Stark was a good man, but sadly, good men don't live very long in this show.
06:58Number 4.
06:59Gemma is actually Miss Casey.
07:01Severance.
07:02What, are we locked in now?
07:04I prefer the phrase, safely situated.
07:07These doors help us to ensure you all are tucked nicely in your workspaces.
07:11For a show that's all about splitting your work life and your home life in half,
07:14it doesn't take any half measures when it comes to its plot twists.
07:17That's her?
07:30Gone.
07:30From the start, we knew that Mark Scout was dealing with pain.
07:34While his innie minded his business on the severed floor, his outie grieved over his late wife Gemma.
07:39And eventually, we discovered who she was.
07:41I loved all these things about her.
07:47Equally.
07:48As Mark fixes a photo of her that he tore apart while drunk, it reveals that Gemma is Miss Casey, another Lumen employee.
07:55This cliffhanger had Severance fans reeling, and soon, theories flooded the internet.
08:00Did Gemma fake her death?
08:02Was she cloned by Lumen?
08:03Suffice it to say, this was one heck of a conversation starter.
08:06You look troubled, Mark.
08:09Huh?
08:10Maybe we should talk later of a nice hot cup of lavender tea.
08:16Number three.
08:17None of them are actually in the good place.
08:19The good place.
08:21Holy mother-forking shirt balls.
08:25When it's all said and done, imagine that you finally ended up in heaven.
08:29That'd seem like a huge accomplishment.
08:31But what if heaven was actually crappy?
08:33It wouldn't seem like heaven then, right?
08:35Well, sure enough.
08:36Eleanor realized that in the season one finale to The Good Place.
08:39In a shocking revelation, she and her friends discovered that they were actually in The Bad Place all along.
08:57Despite being a comedy, this was a pretty dramatic reveal.
09:00It flipped everything on its head and suddenly added much more stakes to the story.
09:04Oh man, I can't believe you figured it out.
09:09Now, fans wanted desperately to know if Eleanor and the crew would ever get to the real good place.
09:14This was an already entertaining show, but now it was a must-watch.
09:18Number two.
09:19Stringer Bell Dies.
09:21The Wire.
09:21You know I don't take my work too seriously.
09:25That's right.
09:30It's just business.
09:31Not to sound like we're chasing our own tail or anything, but we have to reiterate that fan favorites are never guaranteed to be safe.
09:40Stringer Bell was one of the best parts of The Wire, but that didn't stop him from getting gunned down.
09:44He seemed like a rising star on the show, and he came pretty close to taking over Avon Barksdale's entire criminal enterprise.
09:51I ain't strapped.
09:57Look, man.
09:59I ain't involved.
10:00But unfortunately, brother Muzon and Omar made sure to take him down for good.
10:05This decision wasn't just a complete shock for fans.
10:08It was also a total surprise for Stringer's actor Idris Elba.
10:11This ain't about your money, bro.
10:14Your boy gave you up.
10:17That's right.
10:19The bell tolls for everyone.
10:21And in the end, it tolls for Stringer Bell too.

10:37Did Tony live or die?
10:56That is the million-dollar question for every Sopranos fan.
11:00In the finale, Tony and his family enjoy a nice dinner with some iconic tunes playing.
11:04However, there's unease sprinkled throughout as the camera focuses on several suspicious characters weaving in and out.
11:10And as Tony's daughter Meadow finally arrives at the restaurant to join the family,
11:14the last frame rests on Tony's face before cutting to black.
11:18If you thought your TV cut out at the worst possible time, you are not alone.
11:22It was so sudden and strange.
11:24It really took everybody by surprise.
11:27Everyone was thrown off by this abrupt end.
11:29But there is a beauty to it.
11:31By keeping Tony's fate a mystery, the show essentially remains a talking point forever.
11:36After all, it's been years and we're still unpacking the ending.
11:39But see, now people will say, see, he admitted Tony died.
11:44The truth is...
11:47Are there any huge reveals or major plot twists we left out?
11:50Drop the bombshells down in the comments.
11:52I've given you meat and wine and music, but I haven't shown you the hospitality you deserve.
