The best character death in a tv show? (Spoilers)
I was watching
in GoT and was thinking back on my tv shows and thinking of the great ways or tragic ways that some of my favorite characters died.
My all time is
on er. So well done and beautifully rendered. Love and have that rendition of Over the Rainbow. So good.
What character death was adeptly handled in a tv show and made you love it?

Also, the classic "Everyone's Waiting" from Six Feet Under. Heartbreaking and so sentimentally sweet.

Christopher Moltisanti on The Sopranos.
I remember watching this one live, and even though this was still a few episodes away from the series finale, it showed that anyone was expendable in these last few hours of the greatest show ever. Not to mention I thought for sure Christopher was going to make it through the whole thing.
And it also showed just how low Tony will go to protect his business and family. The look in his eyes as he covers Christopher's mouth and nose is chilling.

if there is any show that you would like to watch but haven't yet, don't read this thread, the show might get spoiled for you.

Yes, it would be a good idea to post in the form of:
Sopranos
I haven't seen SOA yet, but I managed to catch the title before I read anything about it, so haven't spoiled anything for myself.
I'm not saying people should have done this, because based on the thread title, you certainly will expect there to be spoilers.
I'm just saying it would be a considerate thing to do.

Funny, er was the first to come to mind, but not who Oldboy said. Romano was the first thing that popped into my head. They fucked his character by chopping off his arm...a surgeon with one hand. What better way to fix it than
Omar Epps' demise was also riveting on er.

No character name(don't want to spoil it) but most shocking would be the season 1 finale of 24. Just when you think Jack saved the day, boom, roll credits.
However, GoT would be up there with the Mountain and the Viper scene. Holy shit. The reaction shot GIF of the actress on the show sums it up quite nicely. I'll have to add that GIF when I'm not on my phone.
