13. The "Death" Of Rick Grimes

When it was announced that star Andrew Lincoln was leaving The Walking Dead, the biggest question going around was how on earth the show would write Rick Grimes out of his own story.

Luckily for fans, the writers did it in the best way possible, by having an injured Rick desperately attempting to save his communities whilst having hallucinatory conversations with people from his past, including Shane Walsh, Hershel Greene, and Sasha Williams.

Much like Tyreese's death, Rick's final moments on the show are eerie and purgative, allowing Officer Friendly to sacrifice himself for the life he's built for his family, who watch on in horror and mourning as he blows up his beloved bridge to destroy an advancing walker horde. Perfection.
