Third week! My picks this time are:
1. Show: HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
Date: December 17, 2012
Actors: Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris
Category: Romantic
The Scene: The Proposal. After absolutely amazing scene with Ted finally letting go of Robin in the limo, we follow her to the roof where we are given a truly great montage of Barney’s last play, who most of us already guessed was happening a while ago, being explained in 15 steps. Even though Robin starts angrily shouting at Barney after reading “The Robin”, he keeps smiling and asks her to turn the page where she sees one last step. And then there’s THE PROPOSAL. As a faithful Barney&Robin fan, I was so happy and relieved to see these two finally together and I love everything about this scene. The scenery, the song and the sudden change on Robin’s face where her anger is replaced by love and happiness. Looks like after all the ups and downs on their road they are finally on the way to a happy ending. And let’s not forget: “none of this would have been possible without Ted” aka best bro in the world!
This scene was also chosen as a favorite scene of the week by Jamie Coudeville, klutzy girl and Verdiana Paolucci.
2. Show: FRINGE
Date: December 21, 2012
Actors: Mostly Blair Brown and John Noble
Category: Emotional The Scenes: I had a hard time choosing just one from this fantastic episode, so I’m going with two.
Nina’s confrontation with Windmark and her death – The bravery, loyalty and love that Nina showed in her talk to Windmark gave her strength not to let him read her mind long enough to kill herself and save our team and Michael. What I loved about her last scene is the fact she wasn’t really scared and with her logical explanation of simple facts she came to the conclusion that in reality Observers are less advanced than human beings because of their lack of fundamental emotions and called them “animals” and actually managed to hurt them in a very effective way. RIP Nina.
The Last Scene – I love the reveal that September is Donald! I missed him! But what I love even more about this scene is the fact that our little Observer showed Walter much more than that. And it’s not only beautiful shots of Etta, Nina and everyone from this season. Walter has also finally seen some bits from our original timeline WITH Peter. Maybe he can’t remember everything, but at least there’s something. And I wanted him to know everything they’ve been through in seasons 1-3 for so long, that this scene made my day!
3. Show: MERLIN
Date: December 22, 2012
Actors: Colin Morgan, Bradley James
The Scene: The message in the dream. I loved this scene so much because of so many reasons. First, the amazing bond between Arthur and Merlin is really what the show was always about and this scene made me think of one of my first favorites of the show, back in “The Poisoned Chalice” where Merlin, on the brink of death and barely conscious, managed to send the magical light to Arthur to show him the way. Here he sends him an apology and a warning, a way to change the course of the battle. Second, this time, Arthur seems to know where the message came from, which makes the wait for their reunion and the reveal in the finale so much more intense. And third, I just love these two! And the scene is just amazing example of the reason why. They truly are two sides of the same coin, always connected, best friends and the bravest people you can imagine.
And here’s more of SpoilerTV Team members’ favorite scenes:
1. FROM SANDI WICH
Merlin “The Diamond Of The Day, Part One”, December 22, 2012
Actors: Colin Morgan, Bradley James
The Scene: In The Tavern
It is a great to see Merlin get the upper hand for once, payback for all the times Arthur has humiliated him in the past. It's also the last time we get to see the two actors in such a lighthearted scene together before the seriousness of preparing for the battle of Camlaan during the rest of the episode, which give the humour a bitter sweet edge.
2. FROM JAMIE COUDEVILLE
Gossip Girl, “New York, I Love You XOXO”, December 17, 2012
The Scene: Five Years Later
Because it's the very last scene we'll ever get with all the characters which made me very emotional plus mini Chuck is adorable!
3. FROM SHARON SEYMOUR
Homeland, “The Choice”, December 16, 2012
The Scenes: The Bomb/Explosion at the funeral
Dexter “Surprise, Motherfucker”, December 16, 2012
The Scene: Debs shoots LaGuerta and then runs and hugs her.
4. FROM ABHIROOP SALUJA
Gossip Girl, “New York, I Love You XOXO”, December 17, 2012
The Scene: Kristen Bell and Rachel Bilson cameo
I don't watch the show but wanted to find out who the mysterious "Gossip Girl" is, and for surprise I got my two favorite actresses there: Kristen Bell and Rachel Bilson in their cameo in the series finale reading a script and a little wink from Kristen Bell at the end made my day.
P.S. The cameo role-play and GG reveal was "Awesome".
