Ok, I'm going to stick by my rules that I'm only putting things on my list that I've seen, which leaves a lot of space for the rest of you to add on.

This new list is best/most shocking TV deaths. Maybe its someone that truly deserves to die and goes out in a hideous/hilarious or amazing way. Maybe its that death that shakes you to the core or hits you out of nowhere. Maybe it was just something random that looked completely awesome.

And no I'm not glorifying death.

So here we go in no particular order

1) The Death of Anastatia "Dee" Dualla ( Battlestar Galactica) - A bridge officer on the Battlestar Galactica she eventually marries Lee Adama and the two eventually separate, they eventually have a reconciliation and after a date she returns to her quarters, smiles at the mirror and then shoots herself in the head in an attempt to die at her happiest.



2) Lucy Knight (ER) - This one was so emotionally overpowering that it still stands out to this day to me. Lucy was a intern and a semi regular character on ER. She gets stabbed by a mentally unstable patient and the episode is focused around the staffs desperate attempt to save her, graphic and tremendously well acted in the end she sucumbed to her injuries. The scene of her lying on the floor bleeding was one of the rare times where I did the staring up at the ceiling thing so my girl at the time wouldn't see me with a man tear.



3) Susan Ross (Seinfield) - This death really showed how horrible of a person that George was as he bought bottom of the barrel poisonous glue envelopes that killed his fiance Susan as she was preparing wedding invites. This show was just a narrative that the main characters were all terrible people



4) Joyce Summers (Buffy) - Come on, you knew I was going to throw a Buffy Death in here. We knew her death was coming from the moment she got sick, but the episode was brilliantly done and acted and every detail was hit on right down to having absololutely no background music at all. To me where it really hit was when Anya a former immortal vengeance demon with no concept of human mortality starts asking inappropriate questions and then breaks down.



5) Henry Blake (Mash) - I think that this was supposed to be a statement of the futility and worthlessness of war. When Henry Blake is finally told he's going home its a celebration, he's escaping the insanity of war. However like anything else War is ruthless and his plane goes down on the way home. The shocking announcement followed by the surgeons getting back to work was sad and jarring and also different from any other show on TV in that it did address mankinds ability to become insensitive to tragedies when they need to be insensitive.
