The Coronation Street episode, original air date hidden in a sea of spoilers, Canadian air date of October 31, 2008. The married couple of the show, a couple people have literally grown up watching, one of the icons of all television, is at last rocked by death, quickly, quietly. It comes at the end of a stealth tribute episode, including the discovery of a picture of the two, taken when they were young. For twenty minutes, all is well in the world. In the last two, we see her, quite likely having simply closed her eyes and never opened them, just quick like that, and we watch as her husband sputters and babbles in shock and grief.

 

There is no comparison. This episode is in a whole other league.

Haven't seen it, wouldn't know, can't beat people growing up to it, but here's my hand:

 

The protagonist, who now rules the Evil Empire which he's been trying to defeat/take over for two seasons, is in a war against the people who supported him from the very beginning, and they're led by his blind, crippled sister, the person who's been motivating him to do all this. His sister and the important figures of the resistance against him (his ex-friends) are just about to be executed by his order. Hated by the whole world, he plays his last card and arranges for his best friend to assassinate him under the guise of the protagonist's alter ego on international television. He falls down the flight of stairs that lead up to his dais, falling right in front of his sister, who has just regained her eyesight. While the people are chanting the name of his alter ego, he dies in the arms of his sister, who has just realized his plan and is sobbing brokenly over his body. The last episode ends on that note, while peaceful music is playing.

 

"I destroy worlds...and I create...worlds..." --Lelouch vi Brittania, the God Emperor.

 

If you do not cry at that scene, like I've said to a few other people, you have no emotions. Nothing is more pitiful than a recently-healed girl crying over the body of her hated brother, who was killed by his own alter-ego, who is now a world hero.

 

All hail Lelouch indeed.

 

*shrug* It doesn't really make much of an impact, though, unless you watch that scene. It shouldn't bee too hard to find.
