Have you ever been shocked by a show that you literally screamed out loud?

That's a top 5 moment for me as well. One of the best tv twists / cliffhangers of all time.
I regularly yell at the Redneck husband and wife in Ozarks. I don't think I've ever legitimately despised a tv character before.
This one got me too, and also the season 5 finale when it's revealed what is in the box. If you've been watching from the beginning, so many things click into place at exactly that moment and you know just what is coming next. Perfectly done.TCTTS said:
May 2007. Watching the final moment of the Lost season three finale. When Kate walks out from the shadows, approaches bearded Jack, and it's revealed that the flashbacks that episode were actually flash-forwards; that Jack & co had already made it off the island. I, and a few other friends, screamed "WHAT???!!!" at the TV and each other for a solid 30 seconds after that happened. Nothing - not the twist in The Sixth Sense, or any other major reveal in any other movie or show - has blown my mind as much the end of that episode. Still the greatest all-around episode of television I've ever seen, too.
There's a real art to creating effective twists. A good one turns everything you thought you knew about the universe of the show upside down, but is still consistent with everything you've been shown before and doesn't seem like it came out of nowhere. And it also has to affect the investment you've made in the characters in the showeither as a big payoff or a big loss. I can't think of any others that are quite on the same level. Maybe the ending to Infinity War.
The scene with Stan is obviously imho the apex of the whole series. But you knew that was coming - it had to. This scene though was the one I screamed NOOOOOO and my wife came from the next room and asked what was wrong.Trident 88 said:That scene < the scene where Stan the FBI man confronts the Jennings in the parking garage.wbt5845 said:
Aside from gore or pure shock value stuff.
The one time I literally SCREAMED at the TV during a scene.
And then, he can't bring himself to do anything but let them go. The combination of betrayal and love together are just too overwhelming for Stan.
Aside from the Red Wedding and the infamous scene in Saving Private Ryan where one soldier's cowardice led another soldier's slow death, it's hard to think of another scene that just force feeds you so much sadness at one time.
In the theater watching Silence of the Lambs - when Jodie Foster is ringing the buzzer at one house and the FBI is raiding the other, then Buffalo Bill answers the door for Jodie Foster. Entire audience screamed, cursed, and yelled NO!
The end of The Departed when the elevator door opened.
This was my first thought upon reading the thread title. I'll also add the act of coitus that Jaime and Cersei were engaged in right before Bran got pushed, definitely blurted out "WTF??? That's your sister!!!"Bruce Almighty said:
Multiple times in Breaking Bad but probably most notably at the end of the Face Off episode.
Netfilx - Haunting of Hill House ... arguing sibling scene
That got me good.
LA Confidential - Rollo Tomassi
I should also add that I'm one of the folks who saw The 6th Sense very early in it's release. Might have even been night of....anyway, yeah I'm also one of the dummies who didn't put two and two together. When that wedding ring goes rolling across the floor as his wife is watching the wedding video....I audibly gasped and said "Holy ****".
Meet Joe Black - when Brad Pitt crosses the street and gets hit by that car I remember jumping out of my seat.
Ned stark getting executed. I hadn't read the books before that point. "what the ****!!!!"
Democrat for Trump!
There's an episode of Barry titled "WHAT?!"
It is quoting the audience after the last line.

The ending of "The Mist" is probably the biggest WTF viewing moment I've ever experienced.

This would have been great if Redstone had not spoiled it...still pissed about that
Seriously or is this just a Redstone joke?
and where the entire series took a weird unfortunate turn.TCTTS said:

Seriously...I believe it was him who posted the plot disguised as it is my theory. After he was called out he said it is all over the internet..I died on the inside when I realized it was real while watching
Man, that sucks. I would have been livid.
A) It's weird seeing him talk like a normal human back then. Or, rather, a normal human assh*le.
B) So many blast from the past handles in that thread.

**** people who post spoilers. Still haven't forgiven the ******* who spoiled TLJ.
It also served as a reminder how long I have been posting on Texags
I liked the ending of Once Upon A Time....in Hollywood and was happy to have known the final act beforehand.
Not a TV show, but reading Dance of Dragons, when Jon gets stabbed, I said, "**** you GRRM." My wife was sitting next to me and just said, "Who died this time?"

The entertainment board's 2005-2008 LOST threads were peak entertainment board.
My most recent was The Boys- Dolphin scene. It was just so unexpected and crazy!
