10 Biggest WTF Moments In Recent Horror TV Shows

10. Spears Asks Anna To Kill Him - Black Summer

There is an argument to be that there can be no greater WTF moment within the confines of a television plot line than the death of a main character.

Main characters aren't supposed to die. There's a reason it's such a risky narrative technique; one risks alienating the target audience by introducing a character, making audiences legitimately care about them, and then suddenly bumping them off, but that's exactly the direction Z Nation spin-off Black Summer decided to go in with the penultimate episode of season two.

The strange thing is, the manner of Julius James', aka Spears, death isn't actually that WTF worthy. He is shot in the first episode and spends the remainder of the second season succumbing to his wounds. It isn't even the fact that Rose's young daughter Anna is the one to put the dying soldier out of his misery, hardening herself for the road ahead and letting Spears die happy in the knowledge that Rose - who he cares deeply for - is in safe hands.

The WTF factor surrounding this moment is as a result of Spears' vast character development across two seasons and 15 episodes. An integral part of Black Summer since the show kicked off, Spears underwent as thorough a character examination as conceivable, delving into his sordid past and uplifting journey of redemption. It was confusing and truly heartbreaking to see such a rich character depart so prematurely, the television equivalent of a meticulously constructed house of cards tumbling down.
