PLOT TWISTS IN TV:

everything about the last third of season 1 of agents of shield is, i think, the greatest plot twist of all time. my GOD. i KNEW what was going to happen and i STILL lost my mind

the reveal that river is amy and rory's daughter on doctor who never gets old. river haters can die angry i will defend river until i die

the nesting doll of reveals surrounding jamie campbell bower's character in the most recent season of stranger things could have gone SO wrong, but it was done SO well

i didn't list this in the spoilers warning because it's more of an every single episode thing, but in every episode of leverage when you think the marks have outwitted the team and then the flashbacks happen showing how the team was on top of it the whole time... poetic tv

and an honorable mention to the reveal that nell is the bent-necked lady on hill house, because i knew it was coming so it didn't hit me quite as hard, but i think it would have been really shocking to go into blind

PLOT TWISTS IN FILM:

just... everything about knives out. yes, you can see it coming if you're looking really, REALLY carefully, but that's part of what makes it so good! the clues are all there if you can see them!
