Star Trek TNG: Best of Both Worlds Part 1 Cliffhanger

The fantastic ending to the first part of one of the best two parters of any show. Although you know already Picard is gonna be ok, it's still one of those scenes you just don't think is gonna happen. When Riker has the big chair thrust onto him, it's up to him to decide whether or not to fire upon the Borg whilst Picard is on board, as Locutus. Earlier we see Shelby try and smack talk Riker, going on about how he isn't ready to make the big decisions, here we see how when push comes to shove it is her in fact who wants to play it safe, and that Riker if needs be will make the tough command decision, he fires upon his own Captain to prevent the Borg from reaching Earth.

Spoiler, they get there anyway.
