A weekly feature highlighting the best quotes on TV as picked by the Spoiler TV team this past week. We'd love to hear your picks too so please sound off below the article.
DOMINION, "Broken Places", 3rd July, 2014
Dahne: William "Good for Sampson and good for those cubs. Surely they will be raised by their mother and not actually know their father. Nature is kind every once in awhile, isn't it?"
It was nice to see William finally stand up to his father. Plus he never gets to be sarcastic.
Hallucination Claire "No matter how fast you drive, Alex, you can't drive away from your own skin."
Even if Claire wasn't really there, she still made more sense than Alex.
Alex "Leave me alone."
Michael "I've done that for far too long."
Everything about Michael in this episode worked. I adored his calling shotgun and his quote about losing a hand. Still this simple declaration and perhaps a hint of self-doubt was my favorite thing he said. He chose a path for Alex which might not have been right and now he needs to repair the relationship.
PERCEPTION, "Shiver", 1st July, 2014
Dahne: Shane "Yeah but I looked on the internet. Everything matched."
Daniel "Yeah did ya? Next time try talking to an actual human being, preferably one who went to medical school."
Daniel's Dad "You know I should have died and left it to you in my will. It would have been a lot more pleasant than this."
RECKLESS, "Pilot", 29th June, 2014
Dahne: Judge "Now I don't know how they run their courtrooms up in Chicago or New York, but down here we don't allow our attorneys to play Perry Mason."
Jamie "Who's Perry Mason?"
Brenda "No, no way. You're a good lawyer. I've got faith in you, but I ain't got no faith in me taking on the Charleston PD."
Jamie "Save the gentleman shtick for the press Roy or the waitresses at Hooters or whoever it works on."
Roy "Don't be dissing Hooters. You might be working there someday."
RIZZOLI AND ISLES, "Too Good To Be True", 1st July, 2014
Dahne: Frankie "Can't a brother just give a sister a hand?"
Jane "Yeah, if he wants to lose it."
Maura "But I'm in a transition period and soon I'll be able to wear any sized heel anywhere."
Jane "Lady Gaga would be so proud of you."
Jane "I was just eating a cupcake. I didn't mean it as a hostile act."
TEEN WOLF, "117", 30th June, 2014
Dahne: Peter "Can't someone in this town stay dead?"
Malia "I think they were hoping you would."
Bwah! Malia said what we were all thinking. She continues to be some of the best comic relief on the show.
Sheriff "I want you to be honest with me, absolutely and completely honest. Have you been time traveling?"
Stiles "Hang on. What?"
Sheriff "Because if time traveling is real, you know what? I'm done. I'm out. You're going to be driving me to Eichen House." Also picked by Justyna Kubica
This is also the best scene of the week. I love how earnest Sheriff is that time travel will be the final straw in the supernatural for him. I also loved Scott and Stiles' reaction to sheriff.
Malia "I heard you were coming to talk to Peter and since Lydia tells me he's basically Satan in a v-neck I figured you shouldn't be alone."
Is there a better way to describe Peter. Again, everything that comes from Malia's mouth is golden.
THE LAST SHIP, "Welcome to Gitmo", 29th June, 2014
Dahne: Tom "Well now see we've got a bit of a problem with that because there's one thing from the old world that still applies today. Something that will never change. We don't negotiate with terrorists."
This is my favorite drama quote of the week. Tom has never been more commanding than in taking the kidnappers down. I love how Slattery and he know each other so well that the XO knew exactly what he wanted.
Danny "Frankie's dead. So are my parents probably and so are yours and everyone else's in the whole damn world. So what is the proper way for me to be dealing?"
One of the most compelling things about The Last Ship is that it is a disaster unlike any other. There really is no way to deal on such a large scale.
Garnett "If we don't hit pay dirt at Gitmo, we might as well break out the oars."
Ha! The Chief of Engineering is now one of my favorite characters. She knew when to snark and when to be tough.
THE LEFTOVERS, "Pilot", 29th June, 2014
Andy Page: Bartender (talking about those who were taken) “The Pope. I get the Pope. But Gary fucking Busey? How does he make the cut?”
Dahne: Mayor "They're heroes because no one's going to come to a parade on We Don't Know What the ** Happened Day."
Kevin "Unless you are dead you have exactly 10 minutes to call me back. 10 minutes."
THE NIGHT SHIFT, "Coming Home", 1st July, 2014
Dahne: Ragosa "I met my wife in high school."
Kenny "Yeah well unless you want to get arrested, you need to meet the next woman someplace else."
Krista "Go with him. He's terrified."
Drew "I can't. Not in front of them."
Krista "No, don't you ever tell me how tough you are again. Do you understand? All that MMA talk, all that Ranger talk. It doesn't mean cr** if you let him go through this alone."
YOUNG AND HUNGRY, "Young and Ringless", 2nd July, 2014
Dahne: Yolanda "Damn I never thought I'd see the day when a white girl gets fingered before the black housekeeper."
Sofia "Okay look. It's very simple. He's engaged so from now on, you're going to have to wear clothes."
