I liked

D'angelo's

death scene in The Wire.

im invisible

remember when

Sally

died in home and away? :eek::eek:

Mr E

Derek Reese

in Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles (no build up or warning!)

Mara, Jackson and Shane

in The Shield (really shocking)

Charlie

in Lost (a fan favourite character so it was hard to watch)

Ben (Brendan Fraser)

in Scrubs. Didn't see that one coming, and if you didn't shed a tear, you're not human.

Renee

in 24. It lead into one of the best runs of episodes in all 8 seasons.

Rita

in Dexter. Nuff said.

Ryan Chapelle

in 24. First (and best) use of the silent clock. Unbelievable.

I have to agree with Mr E about

Ryan Chappelle

in 24. For me, this is the greatest TV death. An excellent episode which had me believing whole that he wouldnt actually die, that Jack would get him out of it somehow. And the scene when he tries to kill himself was heartbreaking. The emotion, the tension, the drama made this death very very memorable and powerful. Brilliantly portrayed by the two actors.

Honourable mention too for

George Mason

in 24. To quote

Mason

in the plane when he said "You get to go out in a blaze of glory, one of the greatest heroes of all time, leave your troubles behind"

Ralphie

in The Sopranos. That whole scene was riveting.

Simon Adebisi

The Wire :

Stringer Bell

I was gobsmacked.

The Shield :

Poor old Lem

Knew it was coming but didnt know how.

Kiith

Lost - Not so much when, but how

Locke

died. Especially knowing what happens towards the end of the series. Makes it really tragic, and even harder to watch on repeats.
24 -

Mason, Chapelle, Palmer, Tony(ish), Renee, Hassan

were all great deaths. They really do a good job of killing characters off
Sarah Connor Chronicles - When they killed off

Derek

, i was in shock. Literally out of no where, in a random episode, with no 'last stand' or last speech to keep fighting. Just dead. Was probably the most shocking and sudden death in any show i've ever watched.
Battlestar Galactica - -

Dualla's

death. I knew something was up in the episode, but hadn't expected anything that serious. And then bam :eek:

Not strictly tv, but

Wash

in Firefly/Serenity. just so sudden, was not expecting it.

The funeral music was just so sad

DeWitt

The last episode of Six Feet Under.

AwayWithFaries

The Wire:

Omar

That just came out of nowhere. He was my favourite character and everything.

This thread should be split into two; greatest deaths on 24 and greatest deaths on all the other shows! 24 is in a league of its own when it comes to providing the audience with great deaths. The greatest (IMO) were

Chappelle, Teri, Palmer, Renee, Mason, Curtis and Paval (the assassin in Day 8 who Jack pretty much ripped to pieces)

As for other shows,

Brian (Ice Truck Killer)

in Dexter,

Brad

in Prison Break,

Mark Greene

in ER and

Sam

in Life on Mars

I have to agree with those who have said

Chappelle's

on 24 being TV's greatest death.
