Scene Of The Week - October 19, 2014 - POLL

Share on Reddit


A weekly feature in which we're trying to find the most compelling, best acted, written, directed and just generally great scenes that we've seen recently on TV.

ARROW, "Sara", October 15, 2014, Actors: Stephen Amell, David Ramsey and more, The Scenes: Oliver talks to Diggle at the end & Sara's funeral
Sylvie C: Oliver line to Diggle: I don't want to die down here. Stephen delivered that line so amazingly. It overshadowed all the other scenes from this emotional episode for me.
Daniel van der Veer: Even though I was not entirely satisfied with how Arrow handled Sara's post-death episode, the scene where she is burried is still a good scene. Seeing Sara laid to rest in the grave that was originally dug for her years earlier, was quite an emotional moment. Team Arrow and Laurel all showed their emotions in their own way.

BOARDWALK EMPIRE, "Devil You Know", October 12, 2014, Actors: Louis Cancelmi, Stephen Graham and more, The Scene: Michael D'Angelo kills Van Alden
Darth Locke:
Michael D'Angelo puts a bullet in the back of Van Alden's head, killing him, as Van Alden was strangling Al Capone.

CRIMINAL MINDS, "A Thousand Suns", October 15, 2014, Actor: Matthew Gray Gubler
The Scene: Spencer Reid talks us through the plane via green screen
Laura Markus:
This scene was so refreshing to see, especially with the use of the green screened plane ride. It draws callbacks to the earlier seasons of this show, which had such lovely scene with special effects. Also, when they use Reid appropriately, it's always a great scene.

DOCTOR WHO, "Flatline", October 18, 2014, Actors: Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman and more, The Scene: The Doctor's speech as he banishes the aliens
Justyna Kubica:
I absolutely loved the moment when the Doctor stopped the monsters. It was not only a great speech but also the scene I've been waiting for since the beginning of the season. It was just such a Doctor thing to do! Like Nine, Ten and Eleven (and probably the others) before him, Twelve faced the aliens, introduced himself and send them away, threatening not to come back because this plane, the Earth is protected. So many great references in one single moment! Made me think of The Christmas Invasion, The Eleventh Hour and The Shakespeare Code all at once. And despite the episode being about Clara acting as the Doctor for a while, it was him who absolutely stole the episode for me in the end. And it was a brilliant hour! Peter Capaldi's performance was also fantastic and I've never felt more confident about Twelve. Because the truth is, that deep down, no matter how many things change about him, the Doctor is always the Doctor. The one we all know and care about. Already can't wait for the next episode! Kudos!
Sandi: The Doctor's speech as he banishes the Boneless. Finally in a scene reminiscent of Eleven seeing off the Atraxi, or Ten the Sycorax, Twelve gets a defining speech and Capaldi nailed it! Jamie Mathieson may be a new Who writer but he certainly gets the character and I would love for him to come back and write another episode or two in the future. 

GOTHAM, "Arkham", October 13, 2014, Actors: Robin Lord Taylor and more
The Scene: Oswald Cobblepot brings the guys he hired some cannoli's
Nirat Anop:
Oswald Cobblepot gives the guys he hired to raid the resturant, a present, some cannoli's. Oswald just sits there on a seat watching them eat away, his facial expression is so devilish yet with a slight innocence. Robin Lord Taylor is the perfect Penguin, especially with his suit and walk and the characteristics he adds to his performance like his cunning smile. Also picked by Sandi

HAVEN, "The Old Switcheroo (Part 2)", October 17, 2014, Actors: Emily Rose, Lucas Bryant, Eric Balfour, The Scene: Audrey comes back
Justyna Kubica:
Finally! Even though it was interesting to meet Mara, I couldn't wait for Audrey to come back from the very start. And in the surprising twist, we not only get Parker back but also will continue to learn more about Mara, since there's two of them now. I really like the decision to split them. It's gonna give us a chance to see Audrey and Mara interact together and in a way, gives Audrey a fresh start and a real chance to stay. Also, a great thing about the entire scene is Nathan fighting for and showing how much he really cares about Duke. I love how things changed between them last season and how strong their friendship is now. Always happy to see these little moments with the two. Also, it's so good to have Audrey and Nathan back together. They didn't really have much of a chance before so hopefully it will be better this time. Can't wait to see what's next. Kudos to the cast and crew for their great work!

HAWAII FIVE 0, "Ka Noeʻau (The Painter)", October 17, 2014, Actors: Alex O'Loughlin and more, The Scene: Valentine reveals he had a "change of heart"
Darth Locke:
Valentine reveals he had a "change of heart" and has been protecting those he has been contracted to kill.

HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, "Let's Get to Scooping", October 16, 2014, Actors: Viola Davis, Jack Falahee and more The Scenes: The final scene & Connor seduces Paxton
Nirat Anop: Annalise removing her fake eyelashes, makeup and wig. So far Viola Davis has been a captivating presence on TV but these final moments of the episode were one of the most moving on TV ever. In my opinion, Viola Davis removing her wig to reveal her real hair is a very vulnerable and honest move, her performance shows this brilliantly. Its very rare to see a woman on TV remove such facades that hide her real identity, the identity she puts on to be accepted into an otherwise judgmental and white man's world. Viola Davis eyes had expression beyond words, we know how much she can captivate a lecture room or court room with her voice alone but without words she's a force to be reckoned with, in my opinion. 
Jimmy Ryan: You cannot compete with Viola Davis on last week's How To Get Away With Murder. Her phenomenal performances already this season were all eclipsed with the final scene last week as Davis's Annalise Keating removed her fake eyelashes, wig, and makeup before directing those last 9 words at her husband. It's one of the best scenes you'll ever see on television, and takes Murder to new heights.
Klutzy girl: It was powerfully amazing to watch Annalise remove her wig and make-up and then direct those shocking words towards her husband because that truly came out of nowhere.
Daniel van der Veer: Viola Davis was outstanding in the final scene of this week's episode. Removing her wig and make-up showed her vulnerability. You could tell how deeply she felt betrayed by her husband even before she confronted him. Davis is absolutely worthy of an Emmy nomination. Also picked by Sharon Seymour and Jamie Coudeville
Francesco B: Connor seduces Paxton and they have sex in the office. Groundbreaking and daring scenes for a Broadcast Network like ABC.

JANE THE VIRGIN, "Chapter One", October 13, 2014, Actors: Gina Rodriguez, Andrea Navedo
The Scene: Xiomara thinks that Jane is like Immaculate Virgin
Francesco B:
So funny!

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF SHIELD, "Face My Enemy", October 14, 2014, Actors: Ming-Na Wen, Iain De Caestecker and more, The Scenes: Fitz bonds with Lance and Mack & May and Coulson go undercover
Klutzy girl:
Fitz finally opens up and bonds with Lance and Mack. He's made some huge steps and I'm happy for him. Plus, the look on Lance's face when Fitz dropped the bomb about his feelings for Jemma was hilarious.
Jamie Coudeville: May and Coulson go undercover. This episode was such great comedic relief. May's laugh had me on the floor. I need more undercover scenes.

NASHVILLE, "I Feel Sorry For Me", October 15, 2014, Actors: Hayden Panettiere, Jonathan Jackson, The Scene: Avery and Juliette's fight
Klutzy girl:
This storyline is causing me a lot of pain but Jonathan and Hayden are knocking it out of the park. I'm hoping they can resolve their issues (and get back together) in time for the baby's birth but I'm enjoying the angst right now.

NCIS: LOS ANGELES, "Praesidium", October 13, 2014, Actors: Daniela Ruah, Eric Christian Olsen, The Scenes: Deeks comforts Kensi & Director Vance talks to Hetty
Justyna Kubica:
Such a beautiful and moving moment. And exactly what I've been missing on the show lately. The relationship, a romantic or not, between the two has always been one of my favorite things about NCIS: LA. Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen work just so well together, like in this very scene. I like the fact that even though both Deeks and Kensi managed to move on after their traumatic experiences, they're not completely forgotten (as it often happens on the TV shows) and they're always there for each other whenever they need to be. And that they're close enough not to hide their emotions and pain. And there's even humor mixed in between. They're so much stronger together and it's something I always enjoy watching. Beautiful work by the actors and the crew. Already waiting for more of these great interactions in the future episodes. Kudos!
Tonya Papanikolas: These two have had such an up-and-down relationship since last season that it was great to finally see them get raw and real with each other. Kensi is tough so she understandably didn't want to be vulnerable. But I love that because Deeks cared so much and knew how to encourage and comfort her, she eventually let herself be vulnerable with him and let him see the pain and hurt she was feeling. It was a great shared moment between the two partners. Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen were both fantastic. And the scene had the perfect mixture of humor and raw emotion. I look forward to more moments like these between the two.
Sylvie C: Deeks comforting Kensi after her interrogation. The scene shows the intimacy of their relationship. It was very moving.
Ben Norton: Director Vance talks with Hetty about her current situation, and tells her his plan all along.

ONCE UPON A TIME, "Rocky Road", October 12, 2014, Actors: Elizabeth Mitchell, Jennifer Morrison and more, The Scenes: The Snow Queen recognizes Emma but pretends not too & Will takes Emma and Charming to the ice cream parlor
Nirat Anop:
This scene was really intriguing and Elizabeth Mitchell has done an awesome job in her new role. I'm really excited to learn more about her.
Darth Locke: Will Scarlet takes Emma and Charming to the ice cream parlor and makes off with the cash.

PARENTHOOD, "A Potpourri of Freaks", October 16, 2014, Actors: Craig T. Nelson, Monica Potter, The Scene: Kristina talks to Zeek at the end
Francesco B:
Kristina talks to Zeek at the end of the episode about getting better from a nearly fatal illness. This scene was truly moving: Kristina faced what Zeek is living now, and their conversation felt like a realistic and authentic moment of life.

PERSON OF INTEREST, "Brotherhood", October 14, 2014, Actors: Michael Emerson, Enrico Colantoni and more, The Scenes: Mini is revealed to be Dominic & Elias and Finch meet on the subway train
DarkUFO:
Mini is revealed to be Dominic. Also picked by Ben Norton
Sharon Seymour: Elias and Finch meet on the subway train. Some great dialog.

REIGN, "Coronation", October 16, 2014, Actors: Adelaide Kane, Toby Regbo
The Scenes: The coronation & Henry and Francis talk

Sandi: Henry and Francis talk. This was a creepy and moving scene, the supernatural side of the show are my favourite parts. I wonder what will become of the nanny now, and will Henry just move on to another host if she is banished from the castle to a dungeon somewhere.
Jamie Coudeville: I thought this scene was beautifully shot. One of my favorite scenes of this show. It's such an important moment.

SCORPION, "Shorthanded", October 13, 2014, Actors: Robert Patrick, Eddie Kaye Thomas and more, The Scene: Agent Gallo and Homeland Security save Team Scorpion (picked by Ben Norton)

THE AFFAIR, "1", October 12, 2014, Actors: Dominic West and more
The Scene: Noah finds his son "hanging" in the bathroom (picked by DarkUFO)


THE FLASH, "Fastest Man Alive", October 14, 2014, Actors: Grant Gustin, Jesse L. Martin
The Scene: Barry and Joe have a heart to heart
Tonya Papanikolas:
I loved this touching scene. I loved how Barry and Joe each had something important they needed to tell the other. For Joe it was letting Barry know that he believed the two of them could save Barry's father and he would help. After earlier saying the opposite, it was important that he let Barry know how much he believed in him and that he would support him now. And for Barry it was letting Joe know that he had indeed been like a father to him and he appreciated it. After how much Joe had done for him, it was a great moment that Joe needed to hear. I love that they acknowledged their mutual respect for each other in the scene - because of that, their bond grew even deeper.

THE WALKING DEAD, "No Sanctuary", October 12, 2014, Actors: Melissa McBride, Andrew Lincoln and more, The Scenes: The group's reunion & The brutal trough scene at the start
Tonya Papanikolas:
Those reunions were well worth waiting for and very emotional after all they'd been through. Daryl and Carol's reunion was phenomenal. I love how they wouldn't let go. And Rick being reunited with his baby daughter really got to me. After thinking she was dead this entire time, it was such an incredible, joyful moment to see her after the misery they'd all been through. I loved that they followed the lowest of lows with such a wonderful high. It was the perfect moment for that scene and it was portrayed beautifully.
Sharon Seymour: The group finally reunite. Hugs all around.
DarkUFO: The Brutal trough scene at the start.
