the best tv moment ever

not a show just a moment in a show

off hand the moment in Lost when you discover you were watching a flashforward not a flash back

Re: the best tv moment ever

Good idea for a thread. Highlight below to see spoilers.

The Unit

The end of Season 2 in The Unit where the Unit and their family get attacked in a social club. Firstly it was a total surprise and secondly I was on the edge of my seat for the whole scene.


The Shield

The last episode of the Shield where Vic faced his Captain.
Also when Vic confessed to all the things he had done over the years.
When Shane killed Lem.

OZ

There are so many in this show. When Alvarez cut out the guards eyes.
Beecher ******** in Verns mouth. etc....



I am sure I will remember more shows and moments.

Spoilers Razor! Some of those Shield episodes haven't been shown here yet.

Spoiler below

But yes, the confession is awesome. Also the last scene when he's stuck in a cubicle and almost breaks, but then pulls himself together and heads out to crack some skulls

Re: the best tv moment ever

The end of The West Wing episode "Two Cathedrals" I think it was when, Jed is in the church.

Agree about the end of Six Feet Under, possibly the best ending to a series ever.

Season two of Damages when...

Wes "Mr too good to be true" Krulik opens up has wardrobe for the first time, and you realise just how bad things are going to get.

That's one of mine others:

Red Dwarf - Back to Reality, The first time it aired I watched Timothy Spall pull them out of the Computer game with the Game Over text flashing on the screen and I honestly thought that was reality and the show was over

Ghostwatch - It took a real long time for the penny to drop, great stuff.

Seinfeld - Not sure which episode, but realising a 20 minute show can pull off multiple story lines with such comedic affect

Spaced - When the cast turned into scooby doo an introduction to referential humour at it's finest!

I think it would be Lost when you see Locke in a wheelchair before the crash, and now he is walking just fine.

Re: the best tv moment ever

My favorite moment was i think every episode of the first season of Sopranos. The entire thing was excellent.

Re: the best tv moment ever

A couple of my faourite moments include...

Babylon 5 - s3 - Severed Dreams


when EA ships attack B5 they just hold them off when more EA ships jump into B5 space. The capt know he's beaten then out of nowhere Delenn show's up with a small fleet of Minbari Blackstars ....

"This is Ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw, .. or be destroyed."
"Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship."
"Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."




Or War Without End II - s3


when Sinclair is revealed as Valen


or countless other moments from Bablon 5.


BTW is there any chance of labelling spoilers with seasons not just the show name. Almost got spoiled for episodes of the shield I've not seen.

Will never forget that moment.

The next one I thought of was from 24 as mentioned in Post 7.

The end of Blackadder 4.

Several moments from ER (one of my fave shows ever) too.

The end of the Office Xmas Special.

Re: the best tv moment ever

The very first time I saw 24.

I bought it as a box set didnt know much about it it had just been on BBC2.

I started to watching it and I realized right then and there i was watching the next generation of TV after the very first one I thought this is the only thing I have ever seen that comes close to my favorite films.

watch 12 in a row and would've carried on but got some sleep and watched the rest.

Re: the best tv moment ever

The A Team :-

The one when i think they were at a scfi convention and Faceman comes face to face with a cylon. I have only seen this episode once when it was first aired and its sad to say that it has stuck with me all those years.
