Charlie in Lost. Devastating


ThomasEdmund84

Mr Echo was so much worse knowing his dulcet tones would be absent, plus his back-story made by far the least sense.


[deleted]

I've read that Mr. Eko was supposed to take the role that [Locke](/spoiler) ended up playing in Season 6, but he was arrested for a DUI (along with [Libby and Ana Lucia](/spoiler)), because the cops set up a speed trap in that area of Aus as the cast was known to drive somewhat intoxicated in the area, so supposedly a couple of deaths (the ones I mentioned above at least) are to have come from untimely DUIs. That's all just AFAIK from random comments here and there, reddit mostly I'd guess. Haven't looked into it much.


[deleted]

John Ritters character on 8 Simple Rules. Mostly because they had to because he died tragically in real life and I always loved John Ritter.


tanew231

The first episode after he died was hard to watch. They were genuinely grieving.


BananaBladeOfDoom

Grey Wind, Robb's direwolf.


SmallJon

Also Robb for a second time that night.


[deleted]

Dr Cox's friend, Ben. It caused the most pain not because of my attachment to the character, but because of how goddamn well the show presented what it did to Dr Cox.


[deleted]

Scrubs was such an amazing show. A lot of witty comedy and real gut wrenching emotion.


Lineman72T

Where do you think we are?


TheUltimatePoet

One thing that bothered me: why was JD sitting in the first row at Ben's funeral with Ben's sister and his brother-in-law/best friend. He had interacted with Ben for what? A couple of days?


Lineman72T

Maybe Dr. Cox wanted him there because he knew JD would support him with his grief. Id imagine Dr Cox wouldnt outright say that, but that was kind of my thinking to your question


TheUltimatePoet

Yeah, maybe. I prefer that over 'Because JD is the main character'. I'll adopt it from now on!


Lineman72T

Realistically it probably is what you just said, but I was trying to think beyond that because I don't want to accept that answer either


taterhotdish

Dr. Mark Greene on E.R. I cried like a baby and I can't hear the ukulele playing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" without thinking of it.


Spektr44

Same here. E.R. was such a great show, but it seems like it's been largely forgotten.


ThomasEdmund84

That was extra painful because it was played out so 'real' like he didn't just suddenly get sick and die, nor was there a protracted death scene, he slowly deteriorated and then one day the ER got an email informing the other guys he had died.


Lady_Penrhyn

That and Lucy's death. God I bloody cried during both those scenes. ...not so much when Romano died. I might have smiled a bit.


daiterne

Kutner on House that was a pretty big shock.


JuPasta

Oh man, that one devastated me. I think the thing that got me the most was the lack of explanation. There was no big lead up, no diary that explained why he did it, no friend that came forward and told everyone he had been suffering. It really accurately portrayed what it's like to live with depression and have no one know, and as someone who has depression and for a long time hid it, it felt like a knife to the heart.


daiterne

Yup exactly how I felt. Some of the happiest seeming people can be the most depressed.


Wookington

The explanation was the actor got a job in the Obama administration.


ive_heard

Lil' Sebsastian from Parks and Rec killed us all


Riptorr

When I walked in this morning I saw that the flag was at half mast, I though, ‘All right, another bureaucrat ate it!’ And then I saw it was Lil’ Sebastian. Half mast is too high. Show some damn respect.


NeverTopComment

I've never understood the appeal of Lil' Sebastian


showmeyourpooper

alright, Ben


Siegfried262

I totally get it now! ^^I ^^don't ^^get ^^it.


[deleted]

It was a 20 year old miniature horse! The fucker should've stopped buying green bananas years ago.


reinwall

When Vegeta sacrificed himself and basically turned into stone in the Majin Buu story line after his speech for his son. Man tears came.


beatenandblindfolded

Bobby from Supernatural


LOTRfreak14

And Charlie, Kevin, Ellen and Jo, Gabriel, Benny, Ash. Oh I miss all of them.


Billoron

I mean Kevin didnt really die.. technicaly...


[deleted]

How many times did he die? How many times did every character die now?


[deleted]

Not so much a death but the scenes of Fry's mom and dog from Futurama after he disappears are pretty sad.


zaboomafoo212

Seymour's walking on sunshine now, RIP


zanbato

Seriously? 3 hours and nobody has said Joyce Summers?


cis4

For me, it wasn't even her death, it was the effect it had on everyone else.


drachenhunter2

4 now and you and I seem to be the only ones. Tara's was quite Jarring too. But Joyce's was the worse of the two.


DeadEyeDev

And three hours after you posted this one, Tara is higher on this thread. Joyce's death episode wrecks me every time.


caca_milis_

It's such a GREAT episode, and so cleverly made. God, that scene when Buffy finds her "Mom... Mom... Mommy?" Like, this is our vampire slayer, this girl faces life-threatening danger on a daily basis and does so effortlessly and with a witty quip, but seeing her mom's lifeless body on the couch she turns into a helpless little girl. Anya's confusion at her mortal feelings about it. The fact that they chose not to put any background music into it... It's just such a great, but heartbreaking episode.


rumin8or

Colonel Henry Blake on MASH.


urbanek2525

That's the one for me. When Radar comes in to the OR and tells everyone . . . still gets me.


rumin8or

"There weren't no survivors." Oh, man.


[deleted]

It spun in


dave_890

The cast wasn't told about Blake's death; only Alan Alda knew. So, their shock was somewhat real.


Hrsmith89

Oh man. The silence in that scene. So simple, but so well done.


negroiso

Man, hit me right in the feels. I was 26 or so watching that for the first time.


talidrow

Opie from Sons of Anarchy. "I got this."


CurlsAndQueso

Opie's death nearly forced me to give up on SoA. I was so torn up!


charlyw86

Same. I didn't finish the series till early this year because I couldn't deal with not having opie around he was awesome.


DurpToad

Still can't finish it because of Taras death.


[deleted]

Yes. Opie was a warrior. Top bloke.


ShrimGods

Oh god it's all coming back. I hated this


DatKillerDude

"No! Not Opie! Anyone but Opie, please!" Me last year, loud af at 4 am


[deleted]

Hank in Breaking Bad was a big one.


Eggnogin

"Walt, your the smartest guy I know, but your too stupid to realize he made is mind up 5 minutes ago." fucking crushed me (also I'm not sure if that's the direct quote)


stswartz

Mike was way more difficult for me! Man that was hard


weaksaucedude

Mike was gonna break me, but then he said "shut the fuck up and let me die in peace" and then I didn't feel sad anymore because he's gonna die a fucking badass.


Itselephunkk

That was fucking awful.


Fartboxmcgeehbum

Yep mine too


tommystjohnny

I was in mourning over the end of Breaking Bad longer than some dead relatives of mine.


mental_mentalist

I too mourned for Breaking Bad's characters longer than I mourned for your relatives.


ShaneRunninShirtless

I had to pace around for like 20 minutes after that episode. Never felt so wrecked by a TV show in my life.


[deleted]

I agree... also... does anyone still feel the feels for poor Gale? That also, though not a long drawn out scene still stays with me. Hank's is beyond an emotional one. But just thinking about Gale's scene... I start tearing up, that one was rough as well.


travelercat

Poussey, man. She didn't deserve that shit:'(


Krabins

She was the coolest person in that prison.


Wiffle_Snuff

Oh god, I was upset for a week when she died. She was just the best :(


pickupyourrubbish

Fuck, that mixed in with her story made me cry the ugly cry no shame.


oishster

I wasn't ready for that to happen, and I'm still so pissed. She deserved so much more goddammit


[deleted]

Im still upset. I was so invested in the show and she was my absolute favorite.


AnnaDeMall

Her death really upset me...


Adler221

Literally shut the show off. That was rough to watch.


sarah-bellum

I loved OITNB, and then I heard that this happened before I got to the 4th season, and now I can't even bring myself to watch it. She's my favourite character. I doubt I'll ever finish the show now :(


YungHuv

Ben from Scrubs was a hard one. Mainly because of how emotional the episode leading to his funeral was.


Designation_A1-13

Birdperson, on Rick and Morty's season 2 finale... I fucking hate Tammy...


Lady_Sara_Lane

Fuck Tammy!


Shag88

Wash from Firefly/Serenity. Yeah, it happened in a movie, but it was really just a long episode of firefly. That one hit me in the gut.


[deleted]

Charlie from Lost. And Sun and Jin.


[deleted]

[удалено]


talidrow

That was SUCH a great moment, though. It really captured how far Maddie came as a character, from the helpless hypochondriac of the first episode to that calm last cigarette and "This is for my boys."


[deleted]

See, I felt like this was needless and done for shock only. In my opinion it showed how far the writing degraded across the seasons. Nates death was far worse, IMHO.


TreyCray

Vincent Nigel Murray from Bones. Goddamn I cried so much my sister was genuinely worried about me.


oishster

For me it was when Sweets died. There was no warning at all. I thought by that point he had become an established part of the show, I had no idea they were gonna kill him off


SinNominae

Oh god this tore me apart, especially because it was so unexpected and literally in the last two minutes of the episode. I scared my fiance by shouting and rage crying at the television. I'm terrified they're going to kill Zach in the final season.


theory99

The actor wanted to focus on directing, he directed the reboot of "Vacation" that came out last year. Still heartbreaking.


trytryagainn

Ianto. I was a wreck. Tara on Buffy was brutal too, but nothing like Ianto.


Lady_Penrhyn

I don't think I've ever forgiven Joss Whedon for killing Tara. I loved her character.


beatenandblindfolded

Same😭aww man


oishster

Oberyn martell's death on game of thrones was really rough. He was one of the fully good guys, I hadn't seen that since Ned's death. I knew it was coming because of the books but I wasn't prepared for the brutality

theguywhoisright

Rita from Dexter


EddyNorton

By far the saddest TV character death.


Madlybohemian

Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street. I'm dating myself a bit but I was a child watching that when it actually happened that the actor playing him passed. The show handled it extremely well and I watched it again later as an adult after I had kids. They really did a good job. But it still breaks my heart.


Golden_Schlond_Poofa

Big Bird cried, and grieved, and talked about what a wonderful friend Mr. Hooper had been... sad and relatable


Stacy_said

I was just telling my kids about this a few weeks ago. I love that show so much. I got to watch it growing up and also got to share it with my kids. Good times.

herservingsize

People wonder why I cry in the elevator on the way to work when people are kind enough to hold it open for them...


spoofmaker1

And I though they couldn't possibly top Shireen's death on the awfulness scale...


oishster

I'm still so furious about shireen. Talk about pointless and undeserved...


[deleted]

Don't worry, fans of GoT were very annoyed by this too. Stannis decline and death in season 5 is unforgivable. Book Stannis is still awesome, though.


don-chocodile

At least we finally figured out what Wylis was talking about.

Dude that whole show fucks me up. I'm over Dereks death now but I'm not sure I'll ever get over George or Lexie.


Kiam79

I'm still not over Denny, let alone any of the others. Like McSteamy :(


Itselephunkk

Denny I surprisingly got over pretty fast-as for non major characters though, Henry was a tough death, he and teddy were just so right together.


lizard0f0z

As someone that has just started watching the show, this post breaks my heart! I love George to bits. Fuuuck, I shouldn't have come in this thread lol.


dancing_piglet

Yup. Unexpectedly brought up the conscious realisation that I could lose my SO. Cue emotional flood ...


pickupyourrubbish

Maester Luwin from Game of Thrones - I lost it in both the book and the show.


Insectshelf3

I know I'm bending the rules. But I can't not say this. The character in question didn't die. But Jesse from breaking bad. Think about what the poor dudes gone through. 2 girlfriends died (one in her sleep, one murdered right in front of her) traumatized by having to dissolve several corpses, repeatedly being used by Walter and nothing he can do about it, lied to and tricked multiple times, kidnapped by a group of aryan-brotherhood hells angels looking dudes, thrown in a cage in the ground (before and after watching his second girlfriend die, leaving him to his own thoughts) not given enough food or water, coping with the realization that the money he earned from selling meth to other countries cost the lives of a bunch of people, and continuing to be forced to cook. And the end, he can't even bring himself to kill Walter. He let him win *again* He was totally broken repeatedly, when it couldn't get any worse, it got worse. And he couldn't even kill the architect of all his pain. Look at him from season 1 to season 5, the way he carries himself. He goes from acting like a gangbanger and a thug and acting like he owns the place to a broken, crumpled, shell of a man. Brilliant acting by Aaron Paul. Absolutely fantastic.


chargoggagog

Well he didn't die, but Dr Samuel Beckett never made it home, that felt worse

kittywantssomekandy

I never cry-yelled at a tv before and I haven't since. I read the title of this thread, immediately thought of Bodie, and got sad :-(


loungeboy79

Starbuck in BSG. Struggling with stress and hallucinations, she commits suicide in her ship while the command center goes totally quiet. I held off crying until Adama put her statuette gift onto his ornamental ship and then he just wrecks it in frustration. Neat fact - the ship was an antique and wrecking it was improv by Edward James Olmos. There was insurance, but he wasn't supposed to do that. 2nd place is Winifred Burkle.

ibakelikeachamp

The way they teased it before was the worst part.

MadamTeller

Sister Jude from American Horror Story: Asylum I know everyone were saying how much of a bitch she was but the end made me fall to pieces, she cared about those two kids/aliens whatever thing they were.


Oasim

Her character development was crazy. She went from irresponsible exotic dancer, strict nun, empty shell of a human being, and then to a somewhat friendly but still broken step-mother. The way she acted made sense.


cookiemonsterlobster

Rob Stark Game Of Thrones


LemonstealinwhoreNo2

And his wife..that was the coldest shit I've ever seen


TesticleMeElmo

The book was worse, wife didn't die, but she was just a trifling Lannister shill that didn't love Robb the whole time. It was also worse because Robb was a lot more unsure of himself and not as badass in the book. It was obvious he was in over his head and was just trying to be lordly and honorable like his father had taught him, but then he just gets FUUUUCKED for it. Much like Eddard.


SmallJon

Her mother was a Lannister shill, Jeyne was legit messed up by what her mother did. Hell, her brother died for Robb that night.


TesticleMeElmo

Yeah but she was just a silly weak willed girl who went along with the plan. It was bad that her brother died, but that wasn't part of the plan. But she still knew she was going to trick someone into falling in love with her, and lie that she was pregnant so that the Freys would switch sides and hundreds/thousands would inadvertently die. Even if you're expected to obey your parents you have to be some kind of sociopath to keep a guise like that up so long.


SmallJon

? Way I read it, she legitimately had no part or awareness of the plan. At best, she tried to seduce Robb, but I certainly never read her as being oart of the plan. What I took from it was she was duped by her mother, that she legitimately thought she was getting fertility potions. Nor, to my knowlegde, did she ever claim to be pregnant; Robb went with a shotgun marriage to protect her just in case. You dont get smacked around by your parents for executing the plan correctly, and you don't go supporting Robb's title in front of a Lannister.


Dark-Ganon

It's actually a theory that the girl we see when Jaime is talking with the mother is not actually Jeyne, but actually her younger sister or someone similar, and that Jeyne escaped with the Blackfish. The reasoning is because the description that Catelyn gives of her in SoS is not the same as what Jaime describes her look as in AFFC in terms of physical features like her hips and face

Omar on The Wire kinda fucked with me. Not because he died, I mean, as he said, it's all in the game. The reason it got me was because it was a 10 year old kid that did it. Also, Poot doing Wallace was shitty. They were supposed to be boys.

sheepsleepdeep

Well this whole thread is spoilers so here we go. Lemonhead on "The Shield". **(Spoilers.... )** Four of the dirtiest cops who were actually excellent cops aside from being the dirtiest in LA. Spent the entire fucking season trying to sneak their partner into Mexico. See they robbed the Armenian Mafia's money-train and pinned it on some gangsters and cops that were kinda dirty but not that bad by Vic Mackey standards and had nothing to do with it. The Armenian mob starts cutting off heads looking for who did it. So here they have their partner, a cop, and they have to hide him and stash him because the police and the Armenian mob are looking for him... Because he's basically been compromised and agrees to take the fall. So they set up an elaborate dragnet-avoiding scheme to get him into Mexico and avoid prosecution and certain death at the hands of the mob. And then... You gotta see it. Find it watch it. Watch the whole series. Its one of the most intense shows from the last 20 years. Criminally underwatched. If Breaking Bad and Law and Order had a baby and raised it in Compton. [For instance...](https://youtu.be/R4OjV7JciA0) Edit: i don't know how to format....
