    So many details you may have missed.

    We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which piece of foreshadowing on a TV show impressed them. Here are some of the best responses.

    1. Leslie Knope being told she could have triplets "right off the bat" in season two of Parks and Recreation, and then doing exactly that four seasons later.

    2. This nod to Dwight and Angela's future relationship in the first ever episode of The Office.

    3. This line in season three of Game of Thrones which only made sense in season six.

    4. This heartbreaking detail in How I Met Your Mother that only made sense at the end of the finale.

    5. Jane's death in Breaking Bad was foreshadowed on two separate occasions before it happened.

    6. And we really should have seen the way Chris died in The Sopranos coming as well.

    7. Ross sleeping with the Xerox girl was actually alluded to throughout season three of Friends.

    8. And this scene ended up coming to pass as well.

    9. Plus, the music from the scene where Rachel and Ross kiss for the first time in Central Perk is the same music that plays in the series finale where they kiss after she gets off the plane.

    10. The last words Saul spoke in Breaking Bad came to be his future in Better Call Saul.

    11. And these Breaking Bad episode titles literally spelled out the plane crash before it happened.

    12. The identity of Gossip Girl wasn't that mysterious after all.

    13. There was a hint about how Sam's mother died all the way back in season one of Supernatural.

    14. Dawn's introduction in season five of Buffy The Vampire Slayer actually began in season three.

    15. The symbolism of this gruesome scene in the first episode Game of Thrones told us exactly what to expect in the future.

    16. Scully's cancer was foreshadowed in season four of The X-Files – multiple episodes before it was diagnosed.

    17. George asking: "We're gonna survive this, right?" in the first ever episode of Grey's Anatomy was a huge hint that he would become the only MAGIC member to die.

    18. This throw-away line in Agents of Shield ended up having a very serious twist later on.

    19. And this comment in Secret Life of the American Teenager had devastating repercussions.
