Better Call Saul. I'm not sure how, but I just had a feeling he was going to get into the meth business.

That's amazing! It felt so random when it happened.

Peep Show, I knew it would just be those two living together still at the end.

HIMYM I knew what was going to happen with the mother and to be fair I had no issues with that. They set it up, hinted at it, it gave the show a reason to exist, etc. My issue was with them basically retconning so much in the final episode and reverting characters back to who they were several years ago to fit an ending which didn't work anymore.

thehistorypunks Apr 14, 2026 +1

That's why the alternative ending is my headcannon for that show.

indianajoes Apr 14, 2026 +2

It still doesn't fix it for me. The mother and Ted living happily ever after doesn't make narrative sense for the story that had been told for 9 years and the damage is still done in the finale leading up to it

thehistorypunks Apr 14, 2026 +1

Agree it's less bad. I think they screwed Barney's character arc over.

whythehellknot Apr 14, 2026 +1

It has been a long time since I watched it and didn't ever do a rewatch but my thing was always that despite telling the story of how he met the mother, so much of it revolved around Robin so it made sense that is who he was going to end up with. Also with Barney, didn't he make those changes for Robin so when they were no longer together he would revert back to who he was without Robin.

I predicted Daenerys's turn in like 2016 and no one believed me.

She was openly psychotic in the very first season. Then she spent eight seasons burning people alive when they displeased her, and smiling while she did it Somehow a lot of people watch that and it just went over their head because they liked Daenerys and didn't like the people she was murdering. It was clear from the start

Holy c***, I've felt like I was taking crazy pills when it comes to this topic for the longest time. I'm so happy to see someone else have the same take I always had on Dany. She was never the "good guy". She was bloodthirsty and entitled from the get-go. What do people think she meant by "I will take what is mine. With fire and blood, I will take it". She said that in like season 2 and followed through wholeheartedly on it all the way to the end. She was ready to burn Meereen to the ground with everyone in it (including innocent people) until her council talked her down. In fact, her council was constantly having to plead restraint with her and talk her out of more rash actions. People only think she was a good person because the majority of the people standing in her way in Essos were slavers, raiders, and entitled elites. As soon as she had to face off against enemies whose morals weren't so clear-cut evil, she didn't adjust her approach at all for them. She kept doing exactly what she had been doing all along, such as burning the Tarlys to death simply for not bowing down to her. Dany wasn't trying to break the wheel at all. Just take control of it like everyone else and the fact hardly anyone sees that and acts like her heel turn came out of nowhere kills me.

They even spoon fed the foreshadowing so the viewer would know to pay attention. > When a Targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin If that wasn't a hint to pay attention, i don't know what would be

Krynn71 Apr 14, 2026 +1

Oh yeah, well I predicted that the Night King, on the cusp of total victory, was gunna get one-tapped by Arya leaping from the shadows of a wide open field after sneaking up on the Night King because he didn't take any body guards into the center of a warzone because he wanted to personally kill a nearly comatose crippled boy who had used his warg-ing and seer powers to do absolutely nothing at all to hinder the Night King up to this point, and thus immediately ending the entire undead army that was the overarching threat of the series that fans had been waiting to see resolved since the first book dropped in 1996. Saw it coming a mile away.

slytherwolf Apr 14, 2026 +2

Hasn’t finished yet, but I’ve been certain since episode 1 of Yellowjackets that Misty is going to be the final girl in a nursing home when the show ends.

Dodgernotapply Apr 14, 2026 +2

Search Party, season 1. Correctly predicted what happened to the missing person just from the commercials.

2

nomorecannibalbirds Apr 14, 2026 +1

That’s not really the main twist of that season. The unexpected tonal shift in the final episode shifts the show in a completely different direction, which continues to happen in each subsequent season, for better or worse.

dratsablive Apr 14, 2026 +2

Well it only lasted one season, but after the 2nd episode of TABOO I told some friends that dude was going to put together a team and sail to America.

ntwild97 Apr 14, 2026 +2

Closest I've gotten was when the black woman in Space Force was stressing about what one-liner she'll say when she lands on the moon and decided on "It's good to be back on the moon". As soon as she decided that, I predicted she'd mess it up and say "It's good to be black on the moon". Most obvious punch line of all time imo

Sons of Anarchy. It was like 3-4 episodes before the finale and I can’t remember why but said to my wife “Jax is gonna …” and it happened verbatim.

I mean, it was based on Hamlet, so it was kinda easy to predict where it was going.

Restivethought Apr 14, 2026 +1

Wouldn't say the ending, but I predicted the Itachi turn right after the flashback to the Uchiha massacre. To the point that I told my buddy what I thought was gonna happen, just for him to message me years later (after I fell off Naruto) angry about it.

BeardedGDillahunt Apr 14, 2026 +1

Not the ending, but I remember saying “if this goes on long enough, Walt will put a hit out on Jesse” way back in the RV days

I called the Mother's status in How I Met Your Mother about 4 years in advance. My coworkers were pissed when I made the prediction because they could tell I was right.

The Ice Truck Killer season 1. I'm not sure what you mean by Deb exactly, I didn't like the show and never watched it much after the first episode because it seemed so obvious. My gf was making me watch it lol.

Okay, not an ending, but a character reaction. In season 7 of '24', Jack finds out that a certain character, who had seemingly died in his arms years ago, was not only alive but behind a terrorist attack. As he sits there, stunned, I call it. "He's going to say 'that's not possible'". Nail, meet head.

I told a co-worker while season 5 of Game of Thrones was airing that I really hoped they didn't do most of the ending of season 7 because it would be boring and predictable.

I remember getting pretty close to BSG's ending on the old SciFi Channel message boards, and got mocked for it at the time. lol

kuhpunkt Apr 14, 2026 +1

And what did you predict? And when? Based on what?

1

ButterscotchPast4812 Apr 14, 2026

That the last scene would either be the party playing dnd, Christmas, or that they'd graduate. I thought they'd mirror the ending of the first season and they did. Plus how much they talked about season 1/2 being so important to the final season. I figured they'd graduate because it's a coming of age story and that seems like a natural place for the story to end. And that Joyce and Hopper would get engaged at their Enzo's date. The duffers had been merging the byers and Hoppers into a singular family for years.

My wife correctly predicted Haunting of Hill House in I believe episode 2. Hilarious to me that people act like it was so mind blowing.

theblackfool Apr 14, 2026 +5

Which part of the ending did you predict?

slytherwolf Apr 14, 2026 +2

I’m assuming the “dead the whole time” bit people like to harp on which wasn’t actually what happened.

2

theblackfool Apr 14, 2026 +5

Yeah I just wanted them to say it

kuhpunkt Apr 14, 2026 +2

What did you predict and when?

2

Anxious-Employee9863 Apr 14, 2026 -2

Not the specifics but that it wasn’t going to be hell or purgatory or something like that, as that seemed way too obvious, just that it was going to be real. About season 3.

-2

kuhpunkt Apr 14, 2026 +2

And how is that a prediction of the ending?!

2

Anxious-Employee9863 Apr 14, 2026 -1

I didn’t mean I called the exact ending, a lot of people in this post just had general ideas of how a show would end, why you coming at me?

-1

kuhpunkt Apr 14, 2026 +2

But you didn't predict anything. It's not even a general idea.

2

Low_City987 Apr 14, 2026 -10

Very early on, 2nd season I think, I knew the Lost peeps were dead and in some kind of limbo/afterlife. Soooo disappointed to find out that I was right.

been_mackin Apr 14, 2026 +4

But they weren’t…?

BeerGogglesFTW Apr 14, 2026 +3

You should probably watch it again. You may not be disappointed.

Low_City987 Apr 14, 2026 -1

The "f*** this show" bias that I had by the end may have colored my interpretation, as well as my lack of interest in revisiting it and possibly re-evaluating. Still thought it was undercooked

-1

kuhpunkt Apr 14, 2026 +1

How is this an interpretation? It's a fact. There's nothing ambigious about it.

DarthRoyal Apr 14, 2026 +2

You were not right though.

neogreenlantern Apr 14, 2026 +1

Except season 2 and everything that happens on the island didn't happened in limbo/afterlife

kuhpunkt Apr 14, 2026 +1

You were not right.

Low_City987 Apr 14, 2026 -1

Whatever, just downvote me out of this sub if yr all so testy about a very stupid show.

kuhpunkt Apr 14, 2026 +2

People aren't testy. You were just smug for no reason when you couldn't even understand a simple show.
