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.
BABY DADDY, "Surprise!", September 4, 2013, Actors: Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Derek Theler
The Scene: Danny calls out Ben on his behavior
Klutzy Girl: Danny calls out Ben on his behavior towards Riley after Ben leaves her on the train. Danny's so selfless and all he wants is for Riley to be happy. It was an awesome moment.
Justyna Kubica: Something had to be said. I'm glad Danny finally called out Ben on his behavior. I mean, I really like Ben, he's a nice guy and pretty great dad, but sometimes he just ruins things, especially when it comes to Riley and he ends up hurting her. I just don't think he's the right guy for her. And Danny... Well, Danny has always been in love with Riley, always been her best friend and always protected her, from everything. I wish he could tell Ben and Riley how he really feels. Maybe things would have been different if he did.
BREAKING BAD, "Rabid Dog", September 1, 2013, Actor: Bryan Cranston
The Scene: Walt calls Todd
Alex Zhora: The show has made an astonishing job in turning its main character into a villain protagonist. It goes even further here with Mr. White's getting ready to kill his spiritual son. I love how the camera rises higher and higher, indicating that Walt's soul is no longer here.
BURN NOTICE, "Sea Change", September 5, 2013, Actors: Jeffrey Donovan, Bruce Campbell
The Scene: Michael and Sam fight
A Dahne: It was brutal to watch but so intense, outshadowing even Sonia pulling a gun on Fiona and then hearing the shot.
COVERT AFFAIRS, "I've Been Waiting for You", September 3, 2013, Actors: Piper Perabo, Christopher Gorham
The Scene: Annie and Auggie hurriedly get back together
Virginia Fontana: Annie and Auggie hurriedly get back together just before Calder raids Auggie's apartment. It was so adorably rushed, fraught, yet sincere!
Justyna Kubica: I really like these two as a couple. It was a bit weird at first, but not for long. They work very well together. That's why I wasn't too happy when they just gave up so quickly after the story with Helen. They should have tried harder and now it looks like they will. It's definitely a good thing, since it sure seems like Auggie is gonna need all the help he can get. I also liked the scene, because even though it was a bit rushed, it felt right and well...genuine. Nice work by both of the actors!
GRACELAND, "Happy Endings", September 5, 2013, Actors: Daniel Sunjata, Brandon Jay McLaren
The Scene: Jakes demands the truth from Briggs
A Dahne: Jakes demands that Briggs tells him what is going on and then decides to help him. Jakes has been criminally underused this season and to see all the history he and Briggs have together was awesome.
MELISSA AND JOEY, "What Happens in Jersey... (Part 2)", September 4, 2013, Actors: Melissa Joan Hart, Joey Lawrence
The Scene: Melissa and Joey have sex
Klutzy Girl: They finally have sex. I've been waiting for something to happen for three years and I'm excited. Can't wait to see where this goes next.
RIZZOLI AND ISLES, "Judge, Jury & Executioner", September 3, 2013, Actors: Lorraine Bracco, Colin Egglesfield
The Scene: Angela finds out Tommy paid off her debt
Jamie Coudeville: I was really surprised, I thought it was Jane and Frankie who paid it. I'm glad Tommy's finally growing up.
SIBERIA, "One by One", September 2, 2013, Actors: Neeko O.J. Skervin, Sabina Akhmedova, Miljan Milosevic
The Scenes: The natives confront Neeko, Miljan and Sabina & The group finds the dead bodies
DarkUFO: End scene when the natives confront Neeko, Miljan and Sabina.
Sharon Seymour: The group at the abandoned test center finds the dead bodies.
THE BRIDGE, "The Beetle", September 4, 2013, Actors: Eric Lange, Alejandro Patino, Annabeth Gish, Alma MartÃnez
The Scenes: Aftermath of a car crash (flashback) & Cesar takes out the Bodyguard
Alex Zhora: "The Beetle" opens with a nightmare-like sequence where big work lies largely on shoulders of Eric Lange, who absolutely nailed it. Also picked by Sharon Seymour
DarkUFO: Cesar takes out the Bodyguard and Charlotte impales Graciela.
UNDER THE DOME, "Speak of the Devil", September 2, 2013, Actors: Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Colin Ford, Britt Robertson, Alexander Koch, Mackenzie Lintz, Dean Norris, Natalie Zea
The Scene: Jim shoots Max & Barbie saves Julia & Angie, Norrie, Joe and Junior see a hallucination of Big Jim
DarkUFO: Jim shoots Max.
Justyna Kubica: I think my favorite scene was Barbie saving Julia. They are finally growing on me. I guess, it's easier to look at them as a couple when they don't have this huge secret between them. Also, everything he was doing in order to save her was just so impressive. That felt like a very powerful moment. Especially since Julia coming back to life also seemed connected to the dome somehow. I like the mystery, the love between the characters and great actors' performances in the scene. And that's why it's one of my favorites this week.
Klutzy Girl: Barbie saves Julia. I love their relationship and that was an awesome moment.
Jamie Coudeville: Angie, Norrie, Joe & Junior see a hallucination of Big Jim - This storyline is for me the main reason I watch. I kinda do hope Big Jim ends up dead because I really hate that guy. Also picked by Sharon Seymour
