Capcom to Announce Two New Games Very Soon? | Screen Rant
A rumor suggests that Capcom, the renowned video game developer and publisher, may have two unreleased games in store and plans to unveil them during the anime event Jump Festa 2020. As the company behind some of the most successful video game franchises of all times, including Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter World, Capcom has been a household name for decades. Some of its most popular movies have even been turned into movies, keeping thousands of players glued to the screen.
However, Capcom experienced some ups and downs during the last few years. In 2018, the company was been in players' crosshairs because of some issues related to Street Fighter V, including the introduction of in-game advertising options. Nevertheless, Capcom did much better in 2019, releasing two must-play games: Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5. It is therefore believable that the video game developer wants to keep blowing its fans away with the release of two new titles.

As Gematsu reports, the rumor started from the Japanese website ryokutya2089, which spread the news that Capcom was going to show four games at Jump Festa 2020. Yet, the official sources say that the company will only exhibit two games at the popular anime and manga event, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Mega Man Zero/ZX. For this reason, the fans started to immediately speculate about whether or not Capcom planning to show two unreleased games at the event. It is not known which games the developer could have in store yet, but rumors suggest that a remake of Resident Evil 3 could be involved.
Additionally, Capcom recently stated that it was interested in revamping some of its older IPs that haven't had new releases in years. However, it is not sure yet if the company truly chose Jump Festa 2020 to announce its new projects. Instead, it's possible that the company will decide to unveil them during two more high-profile events that will take place in the next few weeks: The Game Awards 2019 and Capcom Cup 2019.
While Jump Festa 2020 is going to have prestigious attendees in the gaming industry (including Bandai Namco, Nintendo, and Level-5), Capcom has definitely managed to steal the limelight thanks to this new mystery regarding its potential upcoming releases. The curiosity of the fans about Capcom-related rumors confirms that Resident Evil's developer, despite the struggles experienced during the past few years, is still in the hearts of thousands of players.

Watch the Sonic Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Balloon Explode
Thanksgiving has quickly come and gone, but gamers have been celebrating by rewatching the immortal news footage of the giant Sonic the Hedgehog balloon exploding during the 1993 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Sonic has been the center of a meme movement online for years, so it's only fitting that this clip circulates every November.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, one of the largest in the world, has been held annually since 1952 and is televised by NBC for those who are unable to make it to New York City (hence how the aforementioned footage was captured). The parade is most famous for its giant balloons depicting beloved pop culture characters, many of which have been from "geek culture," including Spider-Man introduced in 1987, Pikachu introduced in 2001, and Goku from Dragon Ball, introduced just last year in 2018. The balloon in question, however, Sonic, debuted in 1993 and was the first video game character to be featured in the parade.

Unfortunately, it was also the same year that disaster would strike. Winds were unusually high on that fateful Thanksgiving day in 1993, and those in charge of the balloons were having difficulty controlling them. News footage caught the sight of the winds dragging Sonic into a light post at Columbus Circle, which tore open his face and caused him to pop. It also broke the light post off of the building, causing the balloon to be dragged down and injure a child and an off-duty police officer. Sonic wasn't the only casualty that year either, as Rex the Dinosaur was unceremoniously torn asunder by a traffic light.
It seems that the balloon handlers have learned from the incident, however, so that they are able to continue on with the iconic balloons even with dangerously fast winds. This year's parade saw similar weather conditions, but the balloons were kept in control by keeping them close to the ground. It may have looked a little silly, but it's a smart solution to include one of the parade's staples while ensuring the safety of both the balloons and the onlookers.
The death of the Sonic balloon will forever go down in infamy, mostly because the memers refuse to let it die. It does seem a bit symbolic of what has happened to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise over the past few decades and makes for particularly hilarious viewing considering all of the turmoil that's gone down this year surrounding the upcoming live-action film adaptation.

Johnny Depp Producing Michael Jackson Musical From Glove’s Perspective
Johnny Depp is producing a Michael Jackson musical from the perspective of the famed performer's glove. Jackson, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 50, was notorious for often-bizarre celebrity behavior, which led in later years to large-scale sexual abuse scandals. Throughout the King of Pop’s on again, off again controversies involving young boys, many fans stood by his side and refused to believe the accusations, but in the years after he passed away, new accusations began to surface from two of the young boys (now grown men) who had once been at the centre of the allegations.
In 2018, HBO released a two-part Michael Jackson documentary in which the two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck made extensive claims Jackson had sexually abused both of them as children on separate occasions. The public backlash against Jackson was once again renewed and seemed stronger than ever. The sole difference this time, however, was Jackson was no longer around to defend himself. As a result, the entire issue remains a divisive topic between Jackson's supporters and those who stand with Safechuck and Robson. For many, this new perspective on Jackson’s life destroyed memories of a time when the superstar seemed too big to fail.

It was during Jackson’s early years as a pop music icon in which he donned his white sequin glove and captured the attention of millions in the process. Now, according to The Guardian, Jackson’s glove looks set to once again be a focal point as a new stage musical, entitled For the Love of a Glove: An Unauthorised Musical Fable About the Life of Michael Jackson, As Told By His Glove, gets set to premier in Los Angeles. The musical is produced by Johnny Depp’s production company, Infinitum Nihil, and according to its writer Julien Nitzberg, everything came out of a major TV network’s desire for Nitzberg to write a film about Jackson. The problem, however, was that the network couldn’t find as way to deal with the abuse allegations that inevitably came with such a production. Said Nitzberg:
“I said, how’s this? Everything MJ has been accused of has actually been caused by his glove, which is actually an alien from outer space [and] feeds on virgin boy blood. They laughed and said, ‘Can you do the normal version?’”
As it turns out, this was exactly the version Nitzberg wanted to do and Depp’s production company clearly felt the same. To call the production strange is an understatement, and Depp’s involvement comes at a time when his own behavior is repeatedly being publicly questioned. With previous abuse allegations regarding ex-wife Amber Heard still prominent, Depp has seen his career take a significant decline. This issue, in addition to a variety of lawsuits, one of which claiming the Pirates of the Caribbean star punched a crew member on a recent project, have not helped to make Depp appear any less guilty or capable of violence.
For Depp, aligning himself with the name Michael Jackson at this point in his career may not be the wisest move. As previously noted, Jackson’s reputation is still very much in question, and for Depp to back a stage production which seems to blame accusations of child abuse on an alien sequin glove that feeds on virgin boy blood is, to say the least, somewhat unsavory. At the same time, however, exactly how For the Love of a Glove will deal with the issue of sexual abuse remains to be seen. It’s possible the production may just be crazy enough to work, but Depp can hardly afford a massive failure at this point, making this musical a particularly crucial one.

Pokemon Sword and Shield Plushies Are Adorable | Screen Rant
A few more Pokemon Sword and Shield monsters officially have plushies on the way, and they would make for some super effective gifts this holiday season. It's been a weird time to be a fan of the Pokemon franchise, with massive controversy surrounding the titles ahead of their release. The initial problem some gamers had with the games was the confirmation that Sword and Shield would cut the National Dex, meaning that not every pocket monster would be returning.
Once the complete Pokedex in Sword and Shield was leaked, players came to realize just how widespread the cuts were with over half of all creatures seemingly removed from the games. Despite this, and several other issues, Sword and Shield have reviewed well and have even gone on to shatter records for the Pokemon series. Earning nods for both the highest-grossing launch for the franchise yet and the best-selling Switch title to date.
Related: The Pokémon Company International Is Hunting Down Sword & Shield Leakers
It was inevitable then that merchandise would begin being rolled out for Pokemon Sword and Shield, but it's a little surprising to note that it has taken The Pokemon Company this long to captilize on the excitement properly with a broader range of plushies. Posted on Pokemon.co.jp (via NintendoLife), it was confirmed that official plush for Gossifleur, Eldegoss, Corviknight, Drednaw, and the beloved sheep Pokemon known as Wooloo are finally en route.
Anyone hoping to secure one (or all) of their very own can note that the plush will launch at Pokemon Centers across Japan on December 14th. They'll retail for between 1,815 and 2,200 yen (approximately $16.58 and $20.09 USD), which is decent given the apparent quality of the stuffies. While this regional release doesn't really help fans eager to get ahold of one outside of Japan, savy shoppers can anticipate the the items dropping on Amazon Japan that same day – which is important because the site offers international shipping.
It's likely that more Pokemon will join this growing line of plush in time, given that these are finally releasing alongside Sword and Shield's starter and Legendary toys that arrived ahead of launch this month. With the latest Pokemon from Sword and Shield joining the Trading Card Gaming and even being featured in a special Tetris 99 event, there's a good chance that there's a still plenty more to come. While fans of the titles await more opportunities to immerse themselves in the Galar region, at least these plushies aren't all that far away.

RuPaul’s Drag Race: The Best Episode In Every Season, Ranked
When it comes to the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise, there have been eleven standard seasons, four All Stars spin-offs, and one Drag Race UK edition. Of course, we are only taking into consideration the shows that RuPaul himself serves as a host, rather than all the international editions (sans Ru) that are now out in the world.
RELATED: RuPaul’s Drag Race: Every Season & Spin-Off Currently In Development
One thing that most fans of Drag Race agree on is that certain seasons were much better than others. However, that is not to say that they didn’t all have highlights. Read below to get to know these great episodes.
15 ALL STARS 1 – “DYNAMIC DRAG DUOS”
The first-ever All Stars season was, to say the least, a rough time for everybody involved. With that said, time has proven that the “Dynamic Drag Duos” episode was the highlight of that season.
It was gut-wrenching to watch BFFs Raven and Jujubee lip syncing against each other (and sobbing) to none other than “Dancing On My Own” by Robyn, making this lip sync one of the most emotional moments in Drag Race history.
14 SEASON 7 – “GLAMAZONIAN AIRWAYS”
In hindsight, it is interesting to see how several of the contestants on Drag Race season 7 have gone on to international superstardom. At the time, however, it certainly felt like the show had missed the mark with casting.
By many standards, season 7’s “Glamazonian Airways” is considered one of the best Rusicals in the entire series, being both funny and quirky. What’s more, because it was that season’s second episode, this was a great opportunity for the queens to show off their potential early on.
13 SEASON 1 – “M.A.C / VIVA GLAM CHALLENGE”
For many years, season 1 of Drag Race was largely regarded as “The Lost Season.” However, one moment that fans of the show never forgot was Ongina winning the “Viva Glam Challenge” and opening up about her HIV status on the runway.
Looking back, it is undeniable that this episode proved that Drag Race could succeed even when tackling sensitive LGBTQ matters.
12 SEASON 11 – “GOOD GOD GIRL, GET OUT”
Season 11 of Drag Race never received the backlash that audiences dedicated to season 7 and All Stars 1, but many fans deemed that season as one of the weakest years in the series.
RELATED: RuPaul’s Drag Race: 10 Most Memorable Catch Phrases
Still, one can confidently say that the “Good God Girl, Get Out” episode gave us enough new references to make it worthwhile. During the episode, we saw what a dad version of Vanessa Vanjie Mateo looked like, and we got Mercedes Iman Diamond’s hilarious “opulence!” moment.
11 ALL STARS 3 – “THE B*TCHELOR”
Acting challenges on RuPaul’s Drag Race are often tricky, but something about “The B*tchelor” (spoofing The Bachelor) on All Stars 3 worked very well. With the exception of Chi Chi DeVayne’s weak performance next to Shangela and Milk’s nervousness to stand out from Trixie Mattel, every single contestant did a pretty solid job in the challenge.
What’s more, guest judge Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman solidified his presence as a Drag Race fan-favorite. In 2019, the actor was announced as a regular judge in the upcoming Drag Race Canada series.
10 SEASON 10 – “SOCIAL MEDIA KINGS INTO QUEENS”
It can be tough to makeover people who have never done drag before. However, the “Social Media Kings Into Queens” challenge on season 10 worked out well given that these digital influencers wanted nothing more but to do very well on TV.
With internet superstars that included Tyler Oakley, Kingsley, and Frankie Grande, it was Chester See who, at the hands of Miz Cracker, became the iconic Miz Cookie and ended up winning the challenge.
9 SEASON 8 – “KEEPING IT 100”
Fans didn’t love season 7 of Drag Race, so when the first episode of season 8 came along and the cast felt instantly exciting to watch, it certainly felt like a fun and necessary comeback for the franchise as a whole. Oh, and we also got all the past winners back for an iconic photoshoot!
In addition, this episode introduced the 100th queen to be on the show (Derrick Barry) and had a fabulous runway challenge that was based on some of the best past runway themes. All in all, “Keeping It 100” is a fierce episode that stood the test of time.
8 SEASON 3 – “JOCKS IN FROCKS”
In many ways, season 3 of RuPaul’s Drag Race elevated the entire series to new heights. One of the signs that things had changed forever was the makeover challenge that took place during the “Jocks in Frocks” episode.
The season 3 makeover challenge gave us Raja’s first-ever lip-sync and Carmen Carrera’s second elimination. Overall, “Jocks in Frocks” encapsulates how rough-around-the-edges season 3 still felt, while still delivering on glamour, humor, and heart.
7 SEASON 2 – “THE SNATCH GAME”
Season 2 of Drag Race gave us the first-ever Snatch Game. Given how important this challenge has become to the franchise, we have to recognize this episode as the best of that season.
All in all, the first Snatch Game ever is worth the watch for impersonations such as Pandora Boxx’s brilliant Carol Channing, Jessica Wild’s cuckoo RuPaul, and Tatianna’s solid Britney Spears.
6 ALL STARS 4 – “LALAPARUZA”
On All Stars 4, RuPaul challenged the eliminated queens to come back and fight for a spot back on the competition, which meant that any of the queens still in the competition could have lost their spot.
Besides the great lip-sync between Monique Heart and Latrice Royale that brought back the latter to the competition, we have to stan this episode for the back-bending lip-sync between Naomi Smalls and Gia Gunn to RuPaul’s “Adrenaline.”
5 SEASON 9 – “GRAND FINALE”
It was a bummer that Shea Coulee didn’t take the crown after slaying throughout the entire season 9 of Drag Race. With that said, the “Grand Finale” of season 9 introduced the Lip Sync For The Crown format and gave us the iconic rose petals lip sync from Sasha Velour, who ended up victorious that year.
Sasha Velour’s “So Emotional” lip-sync is not only the best season 9 episode, but it was also parodied by none other than Kate McKinnon during a recent episode of Saturday Night Live, which proves its impact on pop culture overall.
4 SEASON 4 – “SNATCH GAME”
When you have Chad Michaels doing Cher, Sharon Needles impersonating Michelle Visage, and Willam spoofing Jessica Simpson, it doesn’t get any better. Season 4 had several great episodes, but this Snatch Game is one of the funniest, most bizarre, and most eventful episodes of all time.
RELATED: RuPaul’s Drag Race: Top 10 Snatch Game Impersonations
What’s more, this episode gave us yet another lovable side of Latrice Royale, who respectfully (but firmly) critiqued Jiggly Caliente, Phi Phi O’Hara, and Kenya Michaels’ raunchy behavior during the Snatch Game.
3 SEASON 5 – “RUPAUL ROAST”
Watching the contestants try to do stand-up comedy in front of a live audience is always fantastic, as this is something drag queens really have to do in their careers.
What is really iconic about the “RuPaul Roast” episode, however, was Roxxxy Andrews’ wig-under-a-wig lip sync reveal. Then, Roxxxy shocked us yet again breaking down on the runway, revealing that her mother had left her as a child at a bus stop.
2 SEASON 6 – “SNATCH GAME”
It was during season 6’s Snatch Game that we got Adore Delano’s Anna Nicole Smith, BenDeLaCreme Maggie Smith, and Bianca Del Rio’s Judge Judy – three of the best Snatch Game characters ever.
While it is always upsetting to see a fan-favorite walk out of the workroom, this “Snatch Game” episode is also remembered as the first time the iconic, meme-ready, and catch-phrase machine Gia Gunn had to sashay away.
1 ALL STARS 2 – “REVENGE OF THE QUEENS”
It’s tough to compete with All Stars 2, and the “Revenge of the Queens” episode served everything that was so incredible about that season.
The episode started with Phi Phi O’Hara putting her foot in her mouth as she heavily criticized Alyssa Edwards who was just behind the workroom mirror. Then, we got the queens doing stand-up comedy with then-guest judge Ross Mathews helping out.
To top things off, Tatianna and Alyssa Edwards lip synced to Rihanna’s “Shut Up And Drive” for a chance to return to the competition – giving a performance so fierce that they were both brought back.

Dark Side of The Moon Did Hell In Space 7 Years Before Event Horizon
1997 cult classic Event Horizon popularized the idea of putting Hell in space, but obscure 1990 film The Dark Side the Moon did the same much earlier. Event Horizon was one of those odd instances in which a horror film is summarily dismissed upon release, but goes on to be rediscovered in the years afterward. The debut film of director Paul W.S. Anderson - helmer of most of the Resident Evil movies - Event Horizon was trashed by critics and majorly bombed at the box office, not even making its budget back in theaters.
Yet, Event Horizon now has a large cult following, with many horror fans captivated by the film's mostly untapped concept of transporting Hell to outer space. While it's unclear if the terrifying place Event Horizon's gravity drive took the ship's crew was actually Hell in the religious sense, it was certainly a dimension of unrelenting chaos, pain, and torture, seemingly for eternity. As the Event Horizon's designer, Dr.Weir (Sam Neill), puts it at one point, "Hell is only a word, the reality is much worse."
Related: 10 90s Sci-Fi Masterpieces You’ve Probably Never Seen
Famously, Event Horizon's original cut was much longer, and featured much more explicit gore. That's kind of crazy when one considers just how gory the theatrical cut already is. Sadly, that version is said to be lost, although Amazon is currently prepping an Event Horizon TV series. In the meantime, those looking for a further taste of Hell in space would be wise to check out an obscure 1990 film called The Dark Side of the Moon.
Directed by D.J. Webster and written by the brother team of Chad and Carey Hayes, The Dark Side of the Moon in many ways feels like a dry run for the plot that would become Event Horizon. To be clear, there's no evidence Event Horizon's makers copied Dark Side of the Moon, or even knew it existed. After all, it was a low-budget film released direct to video by Trimark Pictures. Still, the similarities are impossible not to notice.
At a point in the future, a satellite maintenance ship orbiting the Earth suddenly experiences a power failure that sends the ship adrift in the direction of the titular dark side of the moon. While drifting, they encounter an old NASA space shuttle called the Discovery, a strange occurrence since NASA has long since ceased operations. Upon boarding the shuttle, two maintenance crew members encounter corpses, and come to learn that the Discovery disappeared within the legendary Bermuda Triangle. It seems that this end of space is where vessels that vanish within the Triangle emerge.
Before long, The Dark Side of the Moon's maintenance crew finds themselves menaced by an evil being that it's heavily hinted is the Antichrist, looking to fulfill a biblical prophecy. This entity begins killing off the crew, and in some cases resurrecting them for its own Satanic purposes. It would appear that The Dark Side of the Moon might actually be Hell, or at least some version of it. While Event Horizon is certainly a better film, with better acting, much higher production values, and a better realization of the Hell in space concept, The Dark Side of the Moon flies by at 87 minutes, and is a worthy watch for anyone enamored with the ideas Event Horizon presents.

The 10 Best Season Finales Of The Decade, Ranked | ScreenRant
Many people consider this to be the "golden age" of television. It is called that because there are more well-received TV shows currently airing than ever before. Scripted shows like Breaking Bad, Atlanta, Game of Thrones, and so many others have set a new standard for what we watch on the boob tube.
From weekly shows that we consume like the old days to the stuff we binge in one sitting on streaming services, there are tremendous series everywhere. One of the things that made a lot of these shows so successful was that they knew how to end a season with a bang. So here are the 10 best season finales of the decade.
10 Atlanta - "The Jacket"
One of the most creative and inventive shows of the decade is FX's Atlanta. The incredible Donald Glover created the show, stars in it, and often acts as director, writer, and more. The first season wrapped up with "The Jacket," which turned out to be one of the more subdued episodes on this list.
RELATED: The 10 Best Quotes From Atlanta
It focuses on Earn (Glover) as he searches for his lost bomber jacket. That doesn't seem like an interesting story on its own. But retracing his steps led to seeing someone wearing it get gunned down by the police. The adventure ended when he managed to retrieve a key from the jacket, which was to a storage locker. The revelation that Earn was living in this locker shed a light on all of his actions and was a gut punch to end the season.
9 Arrow - "Lian Yu"
Coincidentally, users on IMDb happen to rank this as the best overall episode in the history of the CW Network's Arrow. Season 4 is often cited as a low point for the series but Season 5 picked things back up. "Lian Yu" was that season's final episode and it brought the show full circle by taking things back to the island where it all began.
Oliver Queen teamed up with old rivals like Slade Wilson to do battle with one of his greatest foes, Adrian Chase. It was an intense war that led to one of the best cliffhangers of the decade. Oliver saved his son from Chase but it may have cost him dearly as the island holding all of his friends was blown up.
8 Chuck - "Chuck Versus The Subway/Chuck Versus The Ring: Part II"
For five seasons, Chuck was one of the most underappreciated gems on television. The NBC series blended spy action, nerd humor, and romantic drama better than almost anyone. The third season was supposed to end after 13 episodes only to get extended to 19 episodes. And the showrunners still managed to deliver a fantastic ending.
"Chuck Versus The Subway/Chuck Versus The Ring: Part II" was a two-parter that aired on the same night. It brought all aspects of Chuck's life together. We watched as his father was murdered in front of him, were captivated as his sister found out about his secret life, and cheered when he finally defeated his nemesis, Daniel Shaw.
7 The Office - "Finale"
The first of a few series finales that you'll find on this list goes to The Office. The show ran for 201 episodes spanning nine seasons on NBC. It went through plenty of changes, as well as highs and lows. And when it all ended, it was beautiful. "Finale" saw the characters react to the ending of the documentary that was being filmed the entire time.
RELATED: The Office: The 10 Best Episodes (According to IMDb)
This two-part episode wrapped things up perfectly. From Erin finding her birth mother to Angela marrying Dwight to the perfect return of Michael Scott with a classic, "That's what she said," it gave viewers everything they wanted. Not many shows with this history can stick the landing but The Office did.
6 The 100 - "Praimfaya"
At the end of season three, the folks of The 100 dispatched of the problematic Becca but faced a new problem. A second nuclear apocalypse was coming in the form of a "death wave" of fire. All of season four dealt with the coming doom and the finale, "Praimfaya" showed that our heroes couldn't stop it. Instead, they had to escape it.
Octavia and her group of survivors nestled in the bunker but the real struggle came from Bellamy, Raven, and their group trying to find a way back to the safety of space. To get there, Clarke risked her life to save them. She succeeded and everyone was supposed to meet back up in five years when it was safe. But the episode flashed forward to over six years in the future, showing that things didn't quite work out. It was the show's best cliffhanger.
5 Friday Night Lights - "Always"
Like Chuck, another NBC series that was underappreciated was Friday Night Lights. It struggled to consistently find an audience but was almost always among the best shows on television. The fifth and final season came to a close with an episode titled "Always."
As is the case with all great series finales, it did a spectacular job in giving viewers closure. East Dillon won a State Championship before closing for good, Julie and Matt had their happily ever after, and Coach Taylor followed his wife to a job out of state. It was all very touching.
4 Parks And Recreation - "One Last Ride"
A case could be made that the best NBC workplace comedy of the decade wasn't even The Office but Parks and Recreation instead. It had a more consistent high quality throughout its run, right up until the series finale, "One Last Ride." This hour managed to hit everyone right in the feels.
RELATED: Parks And Recreation: The 10 Best Episodes (According To IMDb)
"One Last Ride" wrapped up the present-day storylines of each character. But whenever Leslie physically interacted with one of them, it flashed forward to how their future went. Each of these scenes was touching and perfect for the characters audiences had come to love over the years.
3 Sherlock - "The Reichenbach Fall"
BBC America's Sherlock helped launch both Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman into superstardom. Each season is only three episodes but they play out like mystery films. None executed this better than season two's incredible "The Reichenbach Fall."
It pitted Sherlock Holmes against his greatest adversary, Jim Moriarty. The two geniuses competed in the ultimate battle of wits and it was riveting to watch unfold. The famous rooftop scene is one of the best of the decade. Moriarty has Sherlock beat and even shoots himself in the head to ensure that Sherlock would have to die to save his friends. And Sherlock does so, leaping off a building while saying an emotional goodbye to Watson.
2 Breaking Bad - "Face Off"
The series finale of Breaking Bad had a strong case for the list but season four's "Face Off" gets the slight nod. This episode was everything that made this series such a force in the world of television. For one, it wrapped up the Gustavo Fring arc with a bang as half of his face was literally blown off in his death, hence the episode title.
But it also set things in motion for the final season. The revelation that Walter poisoned young Brock to get Jesse on his side was a new low for the character. It culminated in him "breaking bad" and showed that he'd do anything to keep his power. This is simply one of the finest hours of television in history!
1 Game Of Thrones - "The Winds Of Winter"
Considering the backlash of the disappointing final season, it's difficult to mention Game of Thrones positively these days. But let's not forget that when the show was great, it was nearly untouchable. The season six finale, "The Winds of Winter" was peak Game of Thrones.
It opened with a moment fans have waited for as Arya killed Walder Frey to avenge the Red Wedding. Then you had the phenomenally laid out scene where Cersei destroyed the Sept with wildfire. It also confirmed the famous "R+L=J" theory of Jon Snow's true parentage. The unbelievable hour ended with Daenerys finally making her long-awaited trip to Westeros.

Game of Thrones: 5 Best Things Jon Did for Daenerys (& 5 She Did For Him)
Jon and Daenerys was the relationship we all wanted to see on Game of Thrones. The two are the metaphorical meeting of Fire and Ice from which the book is named, with Jon representing ice and Dany representing fire. Unfortunately, their relationship ended in tragedy. Daenerys appeared to go mad during the attack on King's Landing, committing genocide and then promising to fight even more wars across Westeros and beyond. This sudden character turn from Breaker of Chains to power-hungry dictator led Jon to kill Daenerys.

This article will list the 5 best things Jon did for Daenerys and the 5 best things she did for him.
10 Jon: Bending The Knee
One of the central plots between Jon and Daenerys in season 7 was Jon's refusal to bend the knee. Jon's main reason for this refusal was that the northern lords would not agree to the north supporting another southern monarch. The northern lords had named Jon King in the North as a showing of independence, this was even more symbolic due to the recent injustices the south has inflicted upon the north.
That being said, Jon eventually bends the knee for Daenerys and names her his queen. This moment was huge on Game of Thrones and triggered tensions between Jon, his family, and the northern lords.
9 Daenerys: Offering The Dragon Glass
When Jon and Daenerys first met, their relationship was icy at best. Dany offered to help Jon, but only if he bent the knee, which Jon refused to do. Despite Jon's refusal to meet her demands, Daenerys still allowed Jon to mine the dragon glass beneath Dragonstone. While the decision was suggested by Tyrion in order to foster goodwill between Stark and Targaryen, it was still a nice thing that Daenerys did for Jon.
She had no guarantee that allowing Jon to mine the dragon glass would actually lead to an alliance, or lead to Jon acknowledging her as his queen, but she allowed it regardless.
8 Jon: Gave Up The Title Of King In The North
When Jon bent the knee to Daenerys, he was also giving up his title as King in the North. When Jon was made King in the North by the northern lords, he was done so with the idea that the north would no longer be pushed around by southern lords. Throughout the events of Game of Thrones, the north has been treated brutally. So, making Jon their sovereign was an independence statement.

However, Jon chose to give up his crown for Daenerys. He did so without any real pressure from Daenerys as well. He bent the knee because he believed in Daenerys and this was one of the best things Jon did for Dany.
7 Daenerys: Lets Jon Ride A Dragon
Aside from political dealings, this was one of the best things Daenerys did for Jon. Dragons had, essentially, been extinct in Westeros for over a hundred years, so being given the chance to ride one was a once in a lifetime experience for Jon. What wasn't really covered in the show is that Dragonriders must typically have the blood of the dragon to actually ride the dragon.
As a consequence, it should have been clear to all the characters that Jon was part Targaryen from the fact he could ride Rhaegal.
6 Jon: Offered His Advice Against Euron
After she lands on Westeros in season 7, Daenerys is under attack from both Cersei and Euron. Yara and Theon Greyjoy's Iron Fleet was destroyed by Euron's own fleet and the Reach was taken by Jaime Lannister's army. Dany was furious at the poor advice she had received from Tyrion so far and turned to Jon for advice instead.

Jon then provides her with a pep talk in order to motivate her for the wars to come. He reinstates her own belief that she can win this war and that she should not use the dragons to destroy cities.
5 Daenerys: No Longer Demanding He Bend The Knee
While Daenerys had spent most of season 7 demanding that Jon bend the knee, it was clear that she would help him without this show of support. She offered the dragon glass to Jon, she asked for his advice, and she even went beyond the wall in order to rescue him from the clutches of the Night King, costing her a dragon in the process.
We can clearly see that Dany no longer cared as much about Jon bending the knee as she previously had. Although, Jon would go on to bend the knee regardless.
4 Jon: Loyal Until The End
After bending the knee, Jon was incredibly loyal to Daenerys. He knew that bending the knee would only lead to tension between himself, Dany, and the northern lords, yet he did it anyway. He truly believed in Daenerys, he truly believed that she would break the wheel and lead Westeros into a new age.

This belief was only shattered by Daenerys' sudden turn from benevolent queen to a genocidal tyrant, as well as her implied threat to Jon's family.
3 Daenerys: Fought Against The Night King
Despite the fact that Daenerys was already fighting a war against Cersei, and despite the fact that Jaime revealed that Cersei was not honoring her promise to send the Lannister army to aid in the fight against the dead, Daenerys still remained to help fight the Night King.
She fought the Night King knowing that she may not win and knowing that, even if she were to win, her army would be heavily depleted. This would make any war with Cersei even more challenging to win.
2 Jon: Fought In King's Landing
Despite protests from his family, Jon insisted on going to King's Landing with Daenerys in order to help her win her throne. Jon's insistence that he take the remainder of the northern forces to King's Landing to help Dany take her throne is a testament to the belief he had in Daenerys at the time. While he genuinely believed that helping Dany win the throne would be great for all of Westeros, he was also helping her because he loved her.
This was without a doubt one of the best things Jon did for Dany, it was such a shame that Dany had to suddenly commit a war crime.
1 Daenerys: Saved Jon From The White Walkers
In season 7, Jon and Daenerys crafted a plan to capture a wight and take it south in order to convince Cersei to pause her war with Daenerys in order to help them fight the Night King. However, Jon and his companions became trapped by the army of the dead beyond the wall and only just managed to send a message to Dany for help.
After receiving the raven from the wall, and without any guarantees that Jon would bend the knee, Daenerys took her three dragons and flew north in order to save Jon. This decision would prove pivotal to the whole show. The rescue mission cost Daenerys the life of her dragon, Viserion. Not only was this a huge loss for Dany, but it was also a huge gain for the Night King, as he now had a dragon.
