00:00A heroic World War II soldier, a doctor who can't stop dying, and a talking dinosaur.
00:06These famous TV characters, and more, left us in tears with their heartbreaking final
00:11words.
00:12M.A.S.H.
00:13M.A.S.H. was one of television's greatest series, and it concluded with an episode that
00:16broke records.
00:17In the finale, titled Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen, Hawkeye has a mental health crisis following
00:22the death of a baby, as he feels responsible.
00:25With the help of his friends, he manages to climb out of the pit of depression he's in
00:29and say goodbye to the members of the 4077th.
00:32Each goodbye is heartfelt and beautiful, leading up to the final scene, where Hawkeye spends
00:36his final moments with B.J. Honeycutt.
00:39Hawkeye acknowledges the difficulty his friend has in saying goodbye, so he does it for him.
00:43He explains that if they don't see one another again, he wants Honeycutt to know how much
00:47he means to him.
00:48In their final moments together, Hawkeye says his final words.
00:51I'll miss you.
00:53I'll miss you.
00:55M.A.S.H. was a 1990s family sitcom about anthropomorphic dinosaurs living in a prehistoric society.
01:01Throughout the series, the father, Earl, takes care of his family while managing a challenging
01:05work-life balance.
01:06The series concluded in a depressing way.
01:08It focused on the planet's failing ecology, leading to an inevitable ice age, which is
01:13a result of global cooling.
01:14The older Sinclairs see the writing on the wall, and in the final scene, Earl tries to
01:19calm his youngest child as he ponders the terrible decisions that led to the end of
01:23the world.
01:24Reminiscing about their plight, Earl reassures his kids, saying,
01:27Dinosaurs have been on this Earth for 150 million years, and it's not like we're going
01:33to just…disappear.
01:35Battlestar Galactica features a plethora of memorable characters, and at any moment, someone
01:40could be revealed to be a Cylon.
01:42This keeps the suspense going throughout the series, and when a beloved character realizes
01:46their truth, it sends shockwaves throughout the entire show, making for excellent television.
01:52One such character is Samuel T. Anders, whom Cara Threatt rescued from Cylon-occupied Caprica
01:57and later married.
01:58He turns out to be a Cylon, but he isn't entirely sold on the company line.
02:02In the series' three-part finale Daybreak, Sam is plugged into a data stream on Galactica
02:07where his near-comatose existence allows him to interface with the ship.
02:11The humans opt to destroy their ships and start anew on Earth, so Sam pilots the fleet
02:16into the sun.
02:17As he does this, he says,
02:18This is you on the other side.
02:21Charlie Pace in Lost has a lot of baggage, and few would call him an extraordinarily
02:25good person at the beginning of the show.
02:27Fortunately, he adapts and evolves to the island and his fellow survivors, which helps
02:31him to become a better man and friend to people around him.
02:33Charlie finds his ultimate redemption in a Season 3 episode titled Through the Looking-Glass.
02:38The action ramps up as the others go after the survivors at their beach camp while Penny's
02:42freighter is anchored nearby.
02:44Charlie and Desmond are on the boat when Charlie intercepts a transmission from Penny, Desmond's
02:48partner.
02:49Meanwhile, Penny has no idea about the boat, indicating the survivors were tricked.
02:54Before Charlie can leave the communications room, a bad guy detonates a grenade, so Charlie
02:58closes the watertight door to spare Desmond.
03:01Knowing he's going to die, Charlie does what he can to save his friends by quickly scrawling
03:05Not Penny's Boat on his left palm, which he holds to the porthole so Desmond can see it.
03:10Charlie then dies of drowning.
03:12Season 4 of Orange is the New Black ends with the tragic death of Poussey Washington.
03:17During what begins as a peaceful demonstration in the cafeteria, Suzanne Warren becomes increasingly
03:21more agitated, pushing Poussey to try and calm her down to de-escalate the situation.
03:26Unfortunately, this puts her into the action, as Corrections Officer Bailey restrains her.
03:31Bailey doesn't merely hold her, he pushes her to the ground and places his knee onto
03:35her back.
03:36He holds this position for far too long while fighting off Suzanne, resulting in Poussey's
03:39accidental death by suffocation.
03:42Before this happens, Poussey says simply,
03:44"...the f----- hurt."
03:45No character in the history of television has said as many final words as The Doctor.
03:50Doctor Who first aired in 1963, and over a dozen actors, good and bad, have played the
03:55Doctor.
03:56Everyone has their favorite Doctor, but many of the Doctor's last words are hopeful and
03:59quite lovely.
04:00Of course, there are those who reminisce and say something truly heartbreaking.
04:04This is true of the Tenth Doctor, whose final farewell is considered by some to be the most
04:08devastating of them all.
04:09Unlike his other incarnations, the Tenth Doctor's demise was relatively slow, allowing him a
04:14rare opportunity to bid farewell to those who were dearest to him in life.
04:18After a series of good deeds made all the more heartbreaking by the understanding that
04:22this was the end for him, the Doctor allows himself one last moment with the woman he
04:26loves before retreating to the TARDIS, where he uttered a single, devastating line.
04:31"...I don't want to go."
04:33Rex Vandekamp and his wife Bree have a tumultuous relationship in Desperate Housewives, leading
04:37to their separation.
04:38Eventually, Rex is hospitalized with a strange sickness that's later confirmed to be caused
04:43by ingesting potassium pills.
04:45They were supplied by Bree's would-be lover George, who wanted to get Rex out of the way.
04:49Rex and Bree reconcile shortly before he learns of his poisoning, which he blames on his wife.
04:54At this time, Rex's health is failing rapidly, so he gets out a pad and pen to write a letter
04:59to Bree, which amounts to his final words.
05:01He writes,
05:02"...Bree, I understand, and I forgive you."
05:04Unfortunately, he couldn't write anything else, as he died soon after.
05:08Eddie Munson is one of the most beloved characters on Stranger Things, but he only stuck around
05:12for one season.
05:13Eddie is the school's local drug dealer and dungeon master, and he forms a bond with Dustin.
05:17He also becomes a target of Hawkins' satanic panic surrounding dungeons and dragons, and
05:22he feels incredibly guilty for running when Chrissy died.
05:25Eddie has an amazing redemption arc, playing Metallica's master of puppets in the Upside
05:29Down to buy the group some time to stop Wechner.
05:31He succeeds, but is attacked by Wechner's army of bats, which tear him apart.
05:36Eddie doesn't die right away, and has a brief moment with Dustin, who holds him in his arms.
05:40In his final moments, Eddie looks at Dustin and says,
05:43"...And it's finally my year."
05:47It was something of a running joke on Supernatural that the main character could die and return
05:51from one episode to the next.
05:53Dean died multiple times throughout the show's 15 seasons.
05:56Eventually, Supernatural wound down to its final season, and in the series finale, Dean
06:01dies for good.
06:02After fighting a pack of vamps in a barn, Dean is thrown back into a wooden post with
06:06a piece of sharpened rebar.
06:08The steel goes right into Dean's back, delivering a fatal blow.
06:11When the dust settles, his brother Sam tries to free him, but they both realize that Dean's
06:15luck has finally run out.
06:17From there, they begin to have an emotional conversation.
06:20Dean makes Sam promise to let him go and carry on without him.
06:23Sam reluctantly agrees, and he remains with him as he fades.
06:26Dean's last words to his brother are,
06:28"...I see him."
06:30In the pilot episode of Young Sheldon, Sheldon says through narration that he wished he'd
06:34told his father more before he died.
06:35In a season 7 episode, George is shown leaving the house for work.
06:39When he does this, he says the same thing he often said to his family.
06:42"...See y'all later."
06:43This was George Sr.'s last words in the series, though nobody in his family knew that for
06:47some time.
06:48Later, two of George's co-workers arrive at the house to deliver some bad news.
06:52They tell his wife, Mary, that George died suddenly of a heart attack.
06:55The rest of the episode deals with the fallout of George Sr.'s death, and it's heartbreaking
07:00to know he left the family in such a normal way, making it harder to get over his passing.
07:05Fans of The Walking Dead comics knew all too well that Glen Rhee's days were numbered on
07:09the television show.
07:10There are a couple of misdirects, but eventually, Glen found himself kneeling before Negan,
07:14and there was no way he'd walk away from that.
07:17Negan explains very clearly that he'll kill one of the survivors kneeling before him,
07:21which plays into the season finale's cliffhanger.
07:23Eventually, he settles on killing Abraham.
07:25Daryl sucker-punches him, so Negan rebukes by going after Glen next, hitting him hard
07:30on the head.
07:31As he struggles from the blow, Glen looks at his distraught wife and says,
07:34"...I will find you."
07:36Most Game of Thrones fans agree that one of the series' most shocking and pivotal scenes
07:40is the Red Wedding.
07:41In the Season 3 episode, Robb Stark apologizes to Walda Frey for going against her agreement
07:46in order to marry his beloved Talisa.
07:48Frey accepts his apology, but in reality, he sets the Starks up, and during the wedding
07:52of Edmure Tully and Rosalind Frey, men in balconies pull out crossbows and begin slaughtering
07:58everyone.
07:59Shortly before this happens, Talisa has a conversation with Robb, telling him she wants
08:02to name their son after his father, Ned.
08:04The last thing she says to him is,
08:06"...Don't you want to teach little Ned Stark how to ride horses?"
08:09Shortly after this, a thug approaches Talisa from behind and stabs her, repeatedly killing
08:14her.
08:16Band of Brothers is one of the most realistic portrayals of World War II combat to ever
08:19grace the small screen, and it features a massive cast.
08:23Because the series is based on true stories, many of the characters are representations
08:26of real people who fought during the conflict, and the show doesn't pull any punches in depicting
08:31the horrors of war, especially when it comes to characters' deaths.
08:34In one episode, Private First Class Eugene Jackson goes on patrol across a river.
08:39During the mission, Jackson finds himself too close to a grenade and is severely wounded
08:43when it explodes.
08:44He's picked up by his team and taken back across the river, but it's not good.
08:48Jackson's wounds are fatal, and as he lies there among his friends, he knows the end
08:51is coming.
08:52Jackson says something that's been uttered on countless battlefields throughout history,
08:56"...I don't want to die.
08:57I don't want to die."
08:59Dr. Lance Sweets is easily one of the most beloved characters from the Fox series Bones.
09:03Sweets is an affable and funny FBI psychologist who is assigned to work with Celie Booth and
09:08Temperance Brennan.
09:09He remains an important character throughout the series, but he dies horribly in the Season
09:1310 premiere.
09:14As the episode progresses and the murder plot unfolds, Booth and Brennan are called to a
09:18parking garage, where they find Sweets beaten to a pulp.
09:21As his friends arrive, they work to try and help him.
09:24Before he dies, he explains what happened to his friends, who try to comfort him.
09:27His last words are,
09:28"...You two, the world is a lot better than you think it is."
09:31With that, Sweets succumbs to his injuries and dies.
