4. Gus’ Last Hospital Visit

For the better part of three seasons, Gustavo Fring consistently managed to get the best of Walter White, lording his mastery at manipulation over the meth cook. It had gotten to the point that even the fans were beginning to believe that Gus would be a permanent fixture on the show. Then, he walks into a hospital room to taunt an old crippled man with every reason to hate him, and what happens? Walter White has made a deal with the old fellow, stuck a bomb under his wheelchair, and then asked him to press the button when Gus gets close enough. The result is a death that leaves absolutely zero room for a character re-emergence. Having your face blown off will do that.
