A weekly feature in which we're trying to find most compelling, best acted, written, directed and just generally great scenes that we've seen recently.
Week 26. Can't wait for the summer shows to start! Here are our favorites (in alphabetical order):
BABY DADDY, "I'm Not That Guy", May 29, 2013, Actors: Derek Theler, Chelsea Kane
The Scene: Danny shows up to help Riley out
Klutzy Girl: He just loves her so much and despite getting his heart broken repeatedly, he keeps doing it.
CONTINUUM, "Second Opinion", May 26, 2013, Actor: Rachel Nichols
The Scene: Kiera lets go
Justyna Kubica: I really liked the entire episode, so choosing just one specific scene wasn't easy, but I decided to go with Kiera's "goodbye" to her son. Kiera breaking down was a chance to see how great Rachel Nichols can be in these emotional moments. And this heartbreaking scene when her character has to accept the fact that she may never see her beloved son again is definitely one of her best performances on the show. I can't imagine the pain a mother must feel losing her child, but it all felt very real to me.
HANNIBAL, "Buffet Froid", May 30, 2013, Actors: Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen, Ellen Muth
The Scenes: Georgia walks in on Hannibal in the doctor's office & Will gets attacked by the woman under the bed
DarkUFO: The scene where Georgia (Ellen Muth) walks in on Hannibal as he is doing his kill. He calmly gives her the scissors and walks out. A very creepy scene.
Sharon Seymour: Will gets attacked by the woman under the bed when he thinks he's dreaming and rips her arm skin off - YUK!
Diana Mack: The whole episode was amazing, so it's hard to chose. I'd pick for the last scene: Georgia finds Hannibal in the doctor's office, she's confused, she doesn't recognize him. Then Hannibal gently gives her the scissors he used earlier to kill the doctor.
MAD MEN, "The Better Half", May 26, 2013, Actors: Elisabeth Moss, Charlie Hofheimer
The Scene: Peggy accidentally stabs Abe (Darth Locke)
ORPHAN BLACK, "Endless Forms Most Beautiful", June 1, 2013, Actors: Tatiana Maslany, Natalie Lisinska
The Scene: Allison lets her neighbor choke to death
Darth Locke: Allison lets her neighbor, Aynesley Norris, choke to death when she gets her scarf caught in the garbage disposal.
Orphan Black has to be one of the best new series of the year! It's season finale was no exception with lots of twists and turns. It was hard to pick a scene, since there were lots of good moments. Tatiana Maslany is FANTASTIC! I picked this scene, because coming from Alison, it was the most shocking.
PSYCH, "No Trout About It", May 29, 2013, Actors: James Roday, Dulé Hill, Timothy Omundson, Maggie Lawson, Kirsten Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall
The Scene: The last one
Justyna Kubica: Here comes the cliffhanger! Hate the fact that Chief Vick lost her job, but the moment when she says goodbye and Shawn hugs her was just so very sweet. Always loved the scenes between these two. Also, everything is changing with Trout taking over Vick's position. This guy! Not even gonna pretend that I like him (Lassie!). Psych just ended one of the show's best seasons and I can't wait what's gonna happen next! "It's ON!"
REVOLUTION, "Children of Men", May 27, 2013, Actors: Elizabeth Mitchell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito, Zak Orth
The Scenes: Neville and Aaron insult each other & Rachel forces Monroe to admit to the murders he has committed & The explosion
Sharon Seymour: Monroe's men getting blasted one at a time with the EMP guns and exploding in a bloody mess.
Klutzy Girl: Neville insulting Aaron and Aaron insulting him right back was one of my favorite moments of the episode. Aaron standing up for himself was just awesome and it was a pretty hilarious moment.
Darth Locke: Rachel forces Monroe to admit to the murders he has committed, including her son, Danny's, while the two are locked into a safe room on level 11 of The Tower together.
ROOKIE BLUE, "Homecoming", May 30, 2013, Actors: Missy Peregrym, Peter Mooney, Matt Gordon
The Scenes: Andy walks into the Penny & Oliver tells Andy not to give up
Sharon Seymour: Nick's face when Andy walks into the Penny.
Klutzy Girl: Oliver tells Andy not to give up. Based on prior episodes, he really ships Andy and Sam and wants them to be happy together.

revolution - the scene of Monroe&Rachel in VP bunker is the BEST!!!
ReplyDeletethe entire orphan black finale!
ReplyDeleteI really loved Orphan Black this week! Thought it was a great finale, out with the old and in with the new, with lots of twists!
ReplyDeleteRevolution was also very good. I wish it could be like this more often. Very well filmed. More mythology heavy and character driven, will also being more climatic! (doesn't hurt to have all these little LOST dharma station parallels either!)
Mad Men was also a more interesting episode. Abe's revolution and break up scene with Peggy in the ambulance was so telling, let alone how Betty treated Don.
And Hannibal was also VERY good. I don't easily get disturbed at gore and horror scenes, but this one made me cringe, let alone Georgia's story and possible connection back to Hannibal was so well written and compelling, I'm very excited to see where the rest of it goes and how it ties into the bigger picture.
All of the Hannibal and Orphan Black scenes. BOTH EPISODES OF THESE SHOWS WERE FANTASTIC THIS WEEK.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. Those are the ones I voted for.
ReplyDeleteGeorgia walking in on Hannibal and Alison letting Aynsley choke do death were very powerful scenes :O
ReplyDeleteYou are wrong about choking it broke her neck.
ReplyDeletemy favorite scene was toward the end of Hannibal, when Will wakes up to his dogs barking and discovers Georgia under his bed. the whole scene from her asking him if she's alive to him reaching to take her hand and everything else...it was just perfectly acted and scripted. my favorite scene of any show including the fall season if we're being honest. Just gets to you on so many levels...
ReplyDeletePsych, that is all.
ReplyDeleteI agree too.
ReplyDeleteThe whole episode or psych was great. It's been such a good season
ReplyDeleteRevolution-both scenes were outstanding.Actually the whole episode rocked!
