The Red Wedding is the single greatest twist in TV history
>>
Rust being the serial killer in TD season 1 is the best.
>>
>>71523575
it was shocking so sure why the fuck not

it wasn't like there is nuch competition since most TV is trash
>>
no, jack telling kate

>we have to go back

is the biggest twist in tv history
>>
>>71523575
it's not really a twist
>>
That gorilla wearing a Patrick disguise was more shocking

are you memeing or retarded

Do you even know what a twist is?
>>
>>71523575
JR's death in Dallas is still the greatest tv twist of all time.
>>
>>71523575
Yes you are correct. I was glad to watch it a year later without knowing any spoilers.

Was the greatest shock I have ever experience in my life while watching a tv show
>>
>>71523643

This. As a season finale, after Jack accomplished everything he thought he had to do. Got everyone off the island, everyone was okay. You think it's all figured out. Then this happens and literally the entire series is turned on its head. Gives me chills desu.
>>
>>71523575
But it was just a book twist adapted into a TV twist

Using that logic the best twist in video game history is the Darth Vader is Luke's father reveal in Lego Star Wars
>>
>>71523643
This BY FAR. Played with our expectations so masterfully. Lead with an episode where Jack is depressed stalking his ex-wife in the past, then a season, then an episode where Jack is depressed stalking... Kate in the future.

FUUUUGGG

Just because something is foreshadowed doesn't mean it isn't a twist.

okay, name a more shocking part in another tv show?

pro tip: there isn't. Unless maybe the identity of who Laura Palmer's killer is from Twin Peaks but still: seeing 2 main characters of a show be killed off in the first season - that is still massively big and shocking
>>
How was this a twist? Robb, who called himself KING, broke his promise to a bannerman, who was notorious for choosing the winning side in conflicts. He totally had it coming.
>>
>>71523760
or was it second season? I can't remember

>>71523759
holy shit that's a good one!

>comedy sitcom show
>actually kill off a major character
>>
>>71523760
We have to go back! >>>>> Red Wedding

Red Wedding -> surprising but you already knew GoT had crazy surprising deaths. It's a meme.

We have to go back! -> You would never have expected a flashforward in this show. And you would never expect Jack to want to go back to the island.

i can't really compare since i knew they'd be back to the island while watching it a year ago. But the red wedding is still way more shocking. Since season 1 you're hoping starks get their shit together and wreck the lannisters and everyone, everything is going great, and suddenly NOPE, a big part of the cast you knew and loved is dead.
>>
>>71523643
This defines 'twist' in a TV series.
>>
>>71523670
Plebs lost Lost what are you talking about?
>>
>>71523760
>seeing 2 main characters of a show be killed off in the first season - that is still massively big and shocking

What show is that?

>>71523675
Rewatch season 1.
>>
>>71523810
GoT is a meme show. Nothing in it has any weight and nothing in it is shocking.

Tommen was more of a shock than the pleb wedding.
>>
>>71523823
*plebs love lost
>>
>>71523810

It's only a "twist" because a ton of people died. It doesn't change the context of the rest of the series before and after.

The "we have to go back" moment did. It changed everything you know about the island. Seeing it spoiler free is fucking mindblowing.
>>
>>71523760
Not the identity, but the dream sequence Cooper has in episode 2 or 3 is the biggest game changer in TV history.
>>
>>71523575
A show known for "unexpected" deaths has an "unexpected" death isn't a twist for fuck's sake.
>>
>>71523740
It's not a twist. Watch a fucking Twilight Zone episode like To Serve Man to see what a twist is.
>>
>>71523847
Incorrect. Godard loves LOST. Fucking Stephen King loves GoT.

You tell me which is pleb.

The plot twist at the end of the 3rd season was incredibly shocking. It made you think after, how could they continue to make a 4th and 5th season with this occurring considering it now feels like an entirely different show - a bit similar to the Twin Peaks reveal which changed the tone of the show.
>>
>>71523831
>What show is that?
Game of Thrones you dwid. I got confused if the red wedding was season 1 or 2 hence I said here
>>71523785

I was more surprised when julius seaser was stabbed to death in Rome
>>
>>71523890
What does that have to do with the fact that every pleb i have come across watched it?

nobody gave a shit about tommen nigger. I was hoping the mountain wrecked his ass for some reason i wouldn't understand

>>71523856
yeah. Shame none of it made sense in the end.

Also, everyone seems to mistake surprising plot twist ending/finale with the normal plot twists that keep a story going and build up the tension till the climax
>>
>>71523927
It's season 3 actually.

>calling other people names when you don't know the show you're talking about

Top kek m8

>>71523890
Stephen King is pleb, that's why the movie adaptions that follow his books are shit, and the ones that deviate from the source are great
prove me wrong
>>
>>71523760
Sopranos season finale, final scene, is the bigger, gutsier, ballsier TV move.
That guy getting his foot ran over in Mad Men is more shocking.
Jack "We have to go back"
>>
>>71523973
>It's season 3 actually.
what the actual fuck?

I swear Robb did nothing apart from fug a girl, talk with his mother about what he wants to do and organize the marriage.

THAT IS ALL. and it took 3 seasons to do this?
>>
>>71523992
>Sopranos finale
still gives me goosebumps, not just the ending, that whole scene
>>
>>71523944
Plebs watch every TV show ever.

TV by definition is pleb. There are no patrician TV shows. Plebs watch Twin Peaks, BBad, Saul, whatever other pleb shit you watch too.
>>
>>71523978
It's literally what I meant. Why would I prove you wrong.

Any american author is a pleb by definition.
>>
>>71524023
whole season 1 was ned dying
season 2 i dunno, probably slow setup for him as king in the north, some theon bullshit being a traitor, and end of season probably had his first battle or something as commander.
then mid season 3 when everything is going well, red wedding. My guess
>>
>>71524023
nothing of consequence has happened on the show. there should be an episode devoted to just normal folk talking about some guy named Stannis getting killed up north, some dragon lady on another continent, go meta.
>>
>>71523760
When Lucero and Cooper get kidnapped and Lucero gets killed near the end of season 5 of Southland.

This.

But I'd say the Red Wedding was the biggest shock in TV history.
>>
>>71523575
Except for the fact that half the audience knew it was happening from the beginning of the show. You want a real twist, look at >>71523643
>>
Janice Soprano being the one that whacked Manson Lamps instead of Tone is EASILY the best twist in TV history. God fucking damn it, I fucking LOATHE you degenerate Down's kids who think the TV started with Breakign Bad.
>>
>>71524579
breaking bad is the greatest show ever to air. season 4 is a completely flawless masterpiece.
>>
>>71523759
I'd let her lick my envelope
>>
>>71524788
Season 4 is barely even good. BrBa peaked with "RUN!". Everything after that was downhill.
>>
it really isn't. Anyone with half a brain kind of saw it coming
