Doctor Who: 'The Time of the Doctor'; 25th December; Matt Smith, Karen GillanSandi: Doctor: "I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me." Amy: "Raggedy Man, goodnight"
Nikita: 'Cancelled'; 27th December; Maggie Q
Bradley Adams: Nikita: "Welcome back to the basement... Helen." Nikita won, and she ended the long battle with Amanda in perfect fashion. This quote was also picked by Daniel van der Veer: 'Finally, Amanda is defeated. And that one line made her destruction complete!'
Nikita: "Now Ryan has given us a gift. Freedom. Now we can find our place in the world, wherever that might be. Freedom's a scary thing though. We've got no one to answer to but ourselves. We used to answer to them, the step-child nobody wanted, but the world needed. Now that we're finally free, I get why we fought so hard. The real gift isn't freedom, it's what we get to do with it. I don't know about you, but I could never just sit on a beach anyway." This was an absolutely fantastic ending to a brilliant show. What a brilliant monologue by Nikita. This quote was also picked by Jamie CoudevilleJamie Coudeville: Amanda: "Nikita!" I'm glad they stuck to the "and the last word they'll breathe before the end is my name" thing.
Sherlock: 'Many Happy Returns' (mini-episode); 24th December; Jonathan Aris/Benedict Cumberbatch
Sandi: Anderson: "Just look at the map though, he's getting closer. It's like he's coming back."
Sherlock: "What do you want me to do at the end, shall I smile and wink? I do that sometimes, I've no idea why. People seem to like it, it humanises me."

Nikita
ReplyDeleteThe Nikita and Sherlock quotes.
ReplyDeleteSherlock is just amazing!
ReplyDeletelol yes! I guess the reset and however many hundreds of years he's spent not using it have made him a little rusty XD
ReplyDelete"Welcome back to the basement... Helen." Talk about chills.
ReplyDeleteThat remark was perhaps the single cruelest thing Nikita has said throughout the entire series, but how does that biblical saying go? One whose is merciful towards the cruel will eventually be cruel towards the merciful. And with the level of cruelty Amanda has displayed since Season 3 ,at least, she deserves nothing less in return.
P.S. I like to think that somewhere, Ryan and Sean are having beers and laughing their asses off at Amanda.

ReplyDeleteSherlock's line about never telling lies with too many details...
