Oh no, we’re talking about iconic last moments? That means deaths and goodbyes!
What if I don’t pick your favorite character from your favorite series, then I’ll be the devil!
Rory Gilmore
This sequel to the Gilmore Girls series, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life ended on this note.
Honestly, I can’t tell if Lorelai is shocked happy or shocked and appalled.
RELATED STORIES
Glenn
From The Walking Dead .
Moments before the villainous Negan bashes his head in with a baseball bat, he takes one last look at Maggie and delivers the line, “I will find you.”
Presumably, he meant as a Walker.
Jane Villanueva

But who would want to watch that wink ?

Oh god no! Not my heart! Please, I can’t live through this Doctor Who scene again!
This is one of the saddest events in British TV history, and it’s British TV! The Brits are some of the saddest people out there!
Hodor
There are a whole bunch of sad Game Of Thrones deaths, but this one probably takes the cake.
Poor innocent Hodor, he died saving Bran and company. An honorable death for sure, but no less sad.
Winston Bishop
Winston from New Girl really pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes with his greatest prank yet. And heck, he even tried to warn his roommates with a clever anagram.
Good job, Winston.
Derek Shepherd
Yes, the main hunk from Grey’s Anatomy ‘s death was truly heartbreaking for everyone who watches the series.
Meredith’s hand on his chest as he takes his final breath… oh wow, we gotta move on.
The Red Wedding
We couldn’t let a list of iconic last moments for TV characters go on without including this entry! Or should I say these few iconic last moments on Game of Thrones ?
Seriously, everyone was all over this one for weeks after the fact.
Susan Ross
This character’s final moments (or more specifically, her death) was so iconic on Seinfeld mostly because people hardly cared.
Not just the fans either, the characters in the show, even her fiancee, could hardly be bothered.
Leslie Knope
Her final words on Parks And Recreation showed that the de facto main character was ready for anything in the future.
Just a beautiful moment to cap off a beautiful series.

The moment where Don Draper sits down to meditate and possibly dreams up one of the biggest ad campaigns in the world: the “I’d like to buy the world a Coke” campaign.
Ted Mosby
We finally found out who the mother was at the end of How I Met Your Mother and well, she kind of died.
But that’s okay because Ted shows up at Robin’s house with the Blue French Horn.
Walter White
Breaking Bad really put us through a lot.
After all of his criminal deeds, all his ill-gotten gains, all the lives he destroyed, there was only one way for Walter White to go: collapsing moments before police arrived.
Chandler Bing
Yes, the ending of Friends was bittersweet. They all have some pretty depressing, crying moments, but then Rachel asks if they should all go get coffee.
Chandler, of course, ends with a joke.
Cristina Yang
This was a great moment of bonding between her and Meredith on Greys’ Anatomy . She reminded her friend, right before she went, that it wasn’t Derek that was the sun.
It was Meredith. Beautiful.
Charlie Pace
From Lost .
It was an extreme moment for people. Not only was Charlie going to die, but it was suddenly revealed that it “Not Penny’s Boat.”
Wow, what an ending to a character.
Olivia Pope
From Scandal .
After everything that she had been through, all the trails and tribulations, she got the ending that was best suited for her: she got her picture in the National Portrait Gallery.
Tasha “Taystee” Jefferson
We were all devastated when Poussey Washington died on Orange Is The New Black , but felt an overwhelming amount of hope when Taystee created the Poussey Washington Fund.
It was a bittersweet moment.
Fleabag
It was simple, it was great and you know what? It was the perfect ending to one of the best series in a long time.
She just turned to the camera and waved one last time.
Lyanna Mormont
She was one of the coolest characters in Game Of Thrones , and she died taking on an actual undead giant.
And that scream she gave, in the end, gave us chills.
Peter Russo
He was one of the most tragic characters on House Of Cards .
But at the end of the day, he stood in Frank’s way, so he had to go.
Anne Boleyn
From The Tudors .
Yeah, we had a real-life version of this character, so we all kind of saw this coming, and yet, it still hurt us.
Joffrey Baratheon
Sometimes deaths are sad on TV shows. Other times, deaths are iconic because the writers finally kill off a character that the viewers absolutely loathe.
This was one of those times on Game of Thrones .
Gus Fring
Man, was this death awesome!
We knew that it was inevitable, but the way that Gus died was straight up iconic. He gets out, adjusts his tie, and then dies.
William Hill
We expected William to die on This is Us . We joined him when he was in the late stages of cancer.
The writers did such a good job of making sure every single scene was super emotional.
Hannah Baker
The reason why 13 Reasons Why has gotten so much attention is because of the way that Hannah Baker passed.
In a way, we all know a Hannah Baker. Which is why it hit us so hard.
Seymour
The dog from Futurama .
Jesus! Who knew that a cartoon could make you cry. He just waited around for Fry all those years. It was awful!
Omar Little
No final iconic moments list would be complete without adding in Omar Little from The Wire .
It was because it came out of nowhere! He was just shot and it was all over!
Zoe Barnes
From House of Cards .
She was going to have Frank in the palm of her hands.
And then, out of nowhere, this high-class politician literally just pushes her in front of a train. Wow, I didn’t see that coming.
Lori Grimes
From The Walking Dead .
When a mother dies in childbirth, it’s always a sad thing.
But this was a childbirth death that happened in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, which makes it scary and sad!
Ned Stark
This was the moment we knew that Game Of Thrones wasn’t just another TV Show.
In the first season, they kill off their biggest star and in the most surprising way.
