We should have known George R.R. Martin would hurt us, but NOTHING prepared us for watching beloved characters get slaughtered at a wedding. The internet broke. Friendships ended. Trust issues began.

Michael's maniacal laugh as he revealed the truth will live rent-free in our heads forever. The entire first season was a lie, and we fell for it completely. Forking genius.

The entire episode was a masterclass in destruction. Hank, the money, Walt's family - everything fell apart in 47 minutes that felt like a lifetime. We're still not okay.

Without spoiling too much for the three people who haven't seen it: the boardroom scene. You know the one. Absolutely devastating and perfect.

Those two storylines weren't happening at the same time. William IS the Man in Black. We should have seen it coming, but we absolutely did not.

Kate Bush saved Max's life and broke our hearts in the same four-minute sequence. That running scene? ICONIC. Still cry every time.

When that X-Wing showed up and a hooded figure with a green lightsaber appeared, the entire Star Wars fandom collectively sobbed with joy. Goosebumps STILL.
