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.
12 MONKEYS, "Cassandra Complex", January 30, 2015, Actors: Aaron Stanford and more
The Scene: Cole shoots the doctor at the end
Sylvie C: By the end of the episode I had a hint he was the one who killed the doctor but nevertheless I was shocked at how coldly he did it. Also picked by DarkUFO, Bradley Adams, Robert Fruin, Darth Locke and Sandi
BANSHEE, "Real Life is the Nightmare", January 30, 2015, Actors: Antony Starr, Lili Simmons and more, The Scenes: Rebecca and Burton take down the Redbones & Kai and Hood fight
Sandi: I get the feeling that Rebecca has been wanting to get her revenge since the house invasion, it's obvious that she didn't like losing control of that situation. She wasn't going to give in during the game of dare as she drove towards their van, you could see it in the look of determination on her face. I think she surprised Burton with how far she's come in the last few months since Kai took her under his wing. I loved how they mirrored each others movements as they wordlessly checked over the battered bodies of the two badly injured men. Then calmly came to the same conclusion, before coolly chucking the lighter into the leaking fuel and walking away from the explosion.
DarkUFO: Kai and Hood fight scene at the strip club. Also picked by Bradley Adams
CRIMINAL MINDS, "Nelson's Sparrow", January 28, 2015, Actors: Robert Dunne, Ben Savage, The Scene: Young Gideon and Young Rossi's introduction
Laura Markus: Every single flashback to Young Gideon and Young Rossi. Does this need explaining? Robert Dunne and Ben Savage absolutely KILLED IT as these characters and actually made the episode watchable. I hope these two will be in another episode down the line; bravo!
ELEMENTARY, "The One That Got Away", January 29, 2015, Actors: Jonny Lee Miller, Ophelia Lovibond, The Scenes: Kitty and Sherlock say goodbye & Kitty and Sherlock meet at the warehouse
Justyna K: There were two great, very powerful and memorable scenes that I could mention here from the episode. Since the second one is already mentioned I'm going with the final phone call between Sherlock and Kitty. Both actors did spectacular job in the hour and I'm truly sad to see Kitty leave. If the conversation at the warehouse was about how much Kitty meant for Sherlock then their call made us realize just how important Holmes was for Kitty. In the end, they saved each other, from two very different things, and made the other move on. For someone so completely broken and scared, like we can see in Kitty's early flashbacks, to be able to find her strength, do something that matters, help people - I'd say it means everything. And I love the fact that it was Sherlock, usually not the nicest and understanding man, who became her close friend and support. Also Kitty's last words to him "I love you. Isn't that the saddest thing?" were beautifully emotional and meaningful. I wasn't quite sure about the idea of Holmes training another detective before the season started but Kitty and her friendship with Sherlock surprisingly ended up being my favorite thing about it. Hopefully it's not the last time we're going to see the two working together. Kudos!
Jimmy Ryan: CBS's Elementary concluded its two part event on Thursday night with a stunner of an episode. Jonny Lee Miller showed why he is one of television's finest actors right throughout, but him and Ophelia Lovibond's finest scene of the evening was at the warehouse where Holmes made his thoughts on what Kitty was about to do to Gruner. Holmes also opened up on his feelings for Kitty, and how she had saved him. It was an incredible, powerful, and emotional scene. Jonny Lee Miller is hugely underrated and is overdue for some decent recognition.
GALAVANT, "It's All in the Executions", January 25, 2015, Actors: Joshua Sasse, Timothy Omundson and more, The Scene: The ending song
A Dahne: While the ending song was not the best one of the night - that would be We're Off on a Secret Mission - it did contain the absolute best piece of meta I have seen in a long time. I'm not usually a meta person but this one had me rolling. Only Galavant would actually use the lyrics: "Will all the singing kill our Nielsen ratings? /Sid, the peasants, the entire crew, / Will they be back for season 2? / Who knows?" Bwah! It makes me laugh every time.
Sylvie C: I don't know if it can count as a scene but the lyrics made me laugh so loud and totally resumes for me how amazing this season has been..
GOTHAM, "Welcome Back, Jim Gordon", January 26, 2015, Actors: Ben McKenzie and more, The Scene: Delaware begs Jim to not hurt his family
Bradley Adams: The end scene where Delaware begs Jim to not hurt, only for Jim to realise what he had done.
GREY'S ANATOMY, "Where Do We Go From Here", January 29, 2015, Actors: Geena Davis and more, The Scene: Dr Herman finds out about Amelia and Arizona's research
Robert Fruin: Dr Herman finds out that Amelia and Arizona have been looking at scans of her tumor.
GRIMM, "Death Do Us Part", January 30, 2015, Actors: Bitsie Tulloch and more, The Scene: Juliette hexenbiests out and blows up a car
A Dahne: Juliette hexenbiests out and blows up a douche's car. Ha! Who hasn't wanted to disable some douche's ability to drive? When said douche almost runs Juliette over in a parking lot and then doesn't even have the decency to apologize, her new hexenbiest temper rises and she unwittingly blows the hood right off his car. She was in shock but I was too busy cheering to notice. I want some of that hexenbiest power the next time I'm on 30 and behind some PLIP (pokey little puppy) too busy talking on his cell phone to drive.
HELIX, "Scion", January 30, 2015, Actors: Kyra Zagorsky and more, The Scene: Julia experiences her father's madness
Darth Locke: Julia experiences her father's madness, as she is reunited with her mother's and adopted brother's remains at the dinner table. Not only did this scene interestingly parallel things pertaining to season one with their pasts, but given that Julia's and Hiroshi's story is 31-ish years after the events of the season one, this scene was so disturbing thinking not only about Hiroshi's hallucinations in the episode, but further the fact that somehow what's left of those two other characters were dragged to this house on this Island and preserved for that long, is kind of what made it all horrifically amazing.
HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, "Hello Raskolnikov", January 29, 2015, Actors: Viola Davis, Alfred Enoch and more, The Scenes: Annalise breaks down in the bathroom & The showdown at the police station & Keating tells Wes they can get away with Sam's murder
Daniel van der Veer: Finally How To Get Away With Murder is back and it delivered an awesome episode. The most memorable moment for me is the showdown outside of the police station between the Connor and Michaela, and Laurel, Wes and Annalise. As the duo prepares to turn themselves in, they come across Wes and Annalise who have been warned by Laurel. The scene showed how desperate Connor and Michaela were, and now Annalise is going to help them. This was a game-changing moment that changes everything.
Robert Fruin: Keating tells Wes that if he will let her help him they will get away with Sam's Murder.
Francesco B: Annalise breaks down in the bathroom.
MARVEL'S AGENT CARTER, "The Blitzkrieg Button", January 27, 2015, Actors: Bridget Regan and more, The Scene: The Dottie reveal
Pablozky21: I've been loving Agent Carter so far, and adding to that the black widow project is in motion makes the show more essential to the MCU, thus making it even better than it already was. I'm really enjoying everything that's going on, so adding this plot only makes the show more essential, and honestly, more surprising and entertaining.
Klutzy girl: The reveal that Dottie is more than she seems was expected but I was still surprised when she went after that guy. Cannot wait to see what happens with her next.
PARENTHOOD, "May God Bless and Keep You Always", January 29, 2015, Actors: Craig T. Nelson, Lauren Graham and more, The Scenes: The Final Scene & Zeek asks Sarah if he has been a good father
Ben Norton: The whole series finale of Parenthood was spectacular, but the final moments of the episode were a huge standout for me. Firstly, the scattering of Zeeks ashes in a baseball field where he planned to teach his son was so emotional, but yet a great way to close out his character. Also by creating multiple time jumps to each of the families, gives us a very clear vision of how this show ends, there are no storylines left hanging. It gives us an insight to how the families continued their lives after the show, it was quite a unique technique taken by Jason Katims. All these scenes combined with a fantastic song choice and a 'montage' aspect to it, really created an incredible ending to the show, as the Braverman family walks out to the distance as the screen fades.
Francesco B: Zeek asks Sarah if he has been a good father. "The very best!" she replies. This scene was really heartbreaking, heartwarming and emotional. I will miss the heart of Parenthood, such a great show of this decade of television.
PARKS AND RECREATION, "Save JJ's", January 27, 2015, Actors: Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, The Scene: Ron tells Leslie Grizzle took her offer
Pablozky21: This season has been a bit different, but as a whole I've been liking a lot what it has to offer. In a way it has revitalized Ron and Leslie's relationship by giving them reasons to fight together for what they believe, and so it is great to see a moment in which Ron can tease Leslie by making her wait to know that Grizzle actually took her offer and of course it makes Leslie both joyful and upset. These are the moments that not only make you laugh, but also make you smile.
RED BAND SOCIETY, "The Guilted Age", January 31, 2015, Actors: Ciara Bravo, Zoe Levin, The Scene: Emma and Kara being civil with each other
Laura Markus: I was SO happy when these two finally started talking and getting along. The fact that they're bonding over mommy issues and that they're FINALLY not arguing over Leo as much anymore made this episode so great. I hope a great friendship lies ahead for these two.
SCANDAL, "Run", January 29, 2015, Actors: Kerry Washington and more
The Scene: Liv tries to escape
Klutzy girl: Liv tries to make her escape at the very end only to find herself on a stage. I knew something was up but I didn't quite expect that. Looking forward to finding out how she escapes!
SLEEPY HOLLOW, "Kali Yuga", January 26, 2015, Actors: Tom Mison, Nicole Beharie
The Scene: Abbie and Ichabod sing "Proud Mary"
Klutzy girl: They've been out of sync all season and so it's nice to see them back on even ground. Plus, the song is amazing and I love how deep Tom's voice got.
STALKER, "My Hero", January 28, 2015, Actors: Maggie Q, Dylan McDermott, The Scene: Jack comes over to Beth's house
Laura Markus: This was SO SWEET! Jack just wanted to make Beth feel comfortable. So, he brought over food and movies and just wanted to hang out during this awful time for her. On top of it being an awesome episode, this was the icing on the cake.
THE 100, "Survival of the Fittest", January 28, 2015, Actors: Bob Morley, Marie Avgeropoulos and more, The Scenes: The end scene with Bellamy and Lincoln & Octavia fights with the Grounder & Indra agrees to make Octavia her second & Clarke and Lexa talk about weakness and strength
Justyna K: There are always so many great things to say about this show and its scenes. But this time choosing scene of the week was actually the easiest decision to make. The final moment of the episode, with Lincoln taking the drug and Bellamy being taken away by the Mountain Men, completely stole the hour for me and almost caused me to forget everything else that happened. It was incredibly intense, powerful and absolutely terrifying! It was nearly possible to feel Bellamy's fear and desperation as he watched Lincoln give into his addiction. It was a moment without words but so many things were said, thanks to the amazing performances by the actors - Bob Morley and Ricky Whittle. The look on Blake's face said it all. Kudos for the terrific job! Also, I just have to add, the promo for the next episode might just be the most disturbing and horrifying I've seen so far. The upcoming hour is gonna be painfully hard to watch.
Daniel van der Veer: The 100 had so many great (and some unlikely) pairings this week: Jaha and Murphy, Ocatavia and Indra, Clarke and Lexa, Bellamy and Lincoln. They all had awesome moments one way or another, but standing out the most was the end scene between Bellamy and Lincoln. As Bellamy begs Lincoln not to take the drugs, Lincoln falls on his knees and takes it anyway. The entire scene was without words, but the acting of Bob Morley and Ricky Whittle was stunning and said everything. Addiction seems to be the latest sensitive topic The 100 touches upon, and I'm looking forward to see how it's handled.
Sylvie C: Octavia fights with the Grounder while everyone else is watching. The scene was powerful and if not my favorite of the episode it was the most significant for me. Octavia won Indra's respect at that moment and proved to everyone else that she's not just Bellamy little sister anymore.
A Dahne: Octavia was by far the best part of this episode and all the scenes with her were superb. That quiet moment between Indra and Octavia was incredibly powerful. While it seems like a little thing, it is the first time one of the 100 has ever gotten Indra's respect and may be the first real evidence that the grounders and Ark can make their alliance work. Not to mention, it should ensure more fight scenes and more Octavia time, which is always a good thing.
Pablozky21: This show makes such a good use of its characters, it never ceases to amaze me. As it throws Clarke to darker places it also allows us to humanize Lexa who has been portrayed so far as pretty much a cold badass, so it's nice to see new layers to both characters. What they've been through have made them both stronger, tougher, but also compasionate, and it is something really great to see. Also, they both make a great duo and both actresses have amazing on screen chemistry, so here's hoping we see more of them.
THE AMERICANS, "EST Men", January 28, 2015, Actors: Keri Russell and more
The Scene: Opening fight scene with Elizabeth (picked by DarkUFO)
THE MUSKETEERS, "Emilie", January 30, 2015, Actors: Alexandra Dowling, Tom Burke and more, The Scenes: Anne and Constance meet Emilie & D'Artagnan and Athos plan to get drunk together
Justyna K: There were just so many things to love about this episode that choosing one specific scene was incredibly hard. But since I really enjoyed the fact that we got to see Aramis, Anne and Constance working together, I'm going with the moment when the two women meet Emilie and everything goes south. No matter how foolish the idea might be, I was glad to see the Queen trying to act on her own and try to defuse the conflict between France and Spain, with Constance staying by her side. Of course it didn't take long for things to get intense and dangerous, with people demanding Anne's death and Aramis trying to act both protective towards the Queen and supportive of Emilie. Quite a peculiar position to find yourself in. All the actors were fantastic and the characters' interations were great. Also loved all the little things about the scene and the episode. Everything worked quite wonderfully and I can't wait for what's next. Kudos!
Sandi: It was only the briefest of scenes, with minimal scripting or direction required, yet it spoke volumes about their friendship and shared turmoil that both are experiencing. I adore these character moments between the guys, and this episode had plenty, but this is the one that stood out the most for me.
12 MONKEYS, "Cassandra Complex", January 30, 2015, Actors: Aaron Stanford and more
The Scene: Cole shoots the doctor at the end
Sylvie C: By the end of the episode I had a hint he was the one who killed the doctor but nevertheless I was shocked at how coldly he did it. Also picked by DarkUFO, Bradley Adams, Robert Fruin, Darth Locke and Sandi

All of the HTGAWM and The 100 scenes mentioned were outstanding!
ReplyDeleteI picked:
ReplyDelete1. Scandal- Olivia tries to Escape
2. The 100- everything
3. HTGAWM- the showdown at the police station
Some of my highlights:
ReplyDelete- Scandal: Olivia attempts to escape
- How to Get Away with Murder: the showdown at the police station and the reveal that Laurel had told West what was going on
- Arrow: Felicity and Laurel conversation
- The Flash: Dr. Well's admits to have known the risks to Caithlin and Cisco
- The 100: Clarke saves Lexa
- Reign: Catherine kills Diane
- The Vampire Diaries: Liz almost dies on Elena and Caroline's arms
- Suits: Jessica forces Louis to sign the contract
- Gotham: Penguin at the club
Cheers for posting!
ReplyDeleteHonourable mention to Reign: Catherine killing Diane, probably the only scene in a pretty badly paced episode that I did enjoy this week. The rest of it was just terrible, it felt rushed, forced or badly acted throughout most of the rest of it imo.
Totally, I wish I could have said the whole episode but we are limited to one scene per show :( for the nominations
ReplyDeleteThat episode was excellent. Loved everything about it
ReplyDeleteGrey's Anatomy: April telling Jackson they are having a boy.
ReplyDeleteHawaii Five-0: Steve spying on Joe
Justified - Raylan meeting Choo-Choo, that was so funny I was laughing so hard I nearly choked. Justified always manages to have such great secondary characters, welcome to the show Choo-Choo.
ReplyDeleteThe Americans - Elizabeth's fight, I really worried for her but also worried Gaad would die. That is what I love about the show I care for all sides of the Cold War fight.
Galavant - Secret Mission song, been watching it on repeat all week.
Bonus: Elementary - Yes I loved the Kitty on the phone to Sherlock scene, broke my heart as I really loved the character and feel like taking her away is a real loss to the show.
Elementary scenes for me, and some from Mentalist.
ReplyDeleteYeah picking up one scene from the 100 is almost impossible. It was one of my favorite episodes .
ReplyDeleteHighlights for Me
ReplyDeleteJustified: Raylan's entire conversation with ChooChoo. Man this show can just make me laugh for minutes on end.
Galavant- The ending scene for sure. Gonna miss this show, but I'm pretty satisfied with what it's given me so if it gets cancelled it won't be the end of the world for me
B99- The montage of Jake and Chris Parnell's character bonding over gambling.
Parks and Rec- The end scene, I'm happy this show is finishing the season's plot line early so we can get to making sure all of our main cast is happy by the end of the show.
The Flash- Wells using his speed briefly was pretty freaking cool and the final scene between Hartley and Cisco was well done. Glad Cisco finally got to have an episode where he was a lot more serious then funny.
Arrow-The reveal that Thea's "boyfriend" is working with Maseo. I assumed he was working for someone, but I didn't really expect it to be Maseo. Also pretty much any scene where Laurel and Roy worked together. After 2 and a half seasons of both of them not getting any real time to shine(or in Laurel's case ruining any time she was supposed to shine) it was great to see them both in action.
IASIP- Frank's flashbacks, Always Sunny is so good at doing weird and god damn were Frank's flashbacks to being in the mental hospital or whatever weird.
First of all, welcome back The Americans!
ReplyDeleteI'm choosing the Jennings's comeback (basically all the episode because I missed them too much) and The Musketeers (very good episode!).
Honorable Mention:
Justified: I'm a massive fan of this show and there have seen many characters that have come, gone, or are still around that I like or find really good, and in one episode Choo Choo is already one of my favorites! Too many shows of mine are ending. I feel a panic attack coming in 3, 2, 1.
Shameless: Frank's monologue and the house's explosion. Amazing acting by William H. Macy!
The 100- As absolutely amazing Octavia's fight with the grounder was (and Marie's continuously improving acting)... the last scene with Bellamy & Lincoln is probably the most devastating cliffhanger the 100 has had... & they've had a lot. No words exchanged between the two & my god that might have been Bob & Ricky's best performances of the series.. (definitely of the season).CHILLS. And just the thought of what's to come for both of these two now separated has my heart breaking. As hard as will to be to see the brave Bellamy Blake being tortured for the harvest chamber process it will be equally difficult knowing the journey Lincoln must face once again now that he's relapsed. So sad. So real... but Season 2 has yet to disappoint so keep it up!
ReplyDeleteJerk gets his car blown up by exciting the Hexenbiest in Juliette. Would someone turn me into a Hexenbiest, please?
ReplyDeleteHave to agree with you and Jimmy on Elementary. It was powerful and touching and the last scene between Kitty and Sherlock was moving. I can't believe that for someone i didn't care for in the beginning i came to love. I hope we will be graced with her presence before the show ends..
ReplyDeleteAnd WHOA The Americans! That fight scene was something else,it left me on the edge of my seat!
Voting all The 100 this week.
ReplyDeleteThe 100 end scene, HTGAWM police station, Grimm Juliette and more...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite scene of the week is at the end of Hart of Dixie when Zoe comes to Lemon's rescue by explaining how Shelby was accidentally poisoned by inhaling the Cheese Flavies when Rose was adjusting her mike. The most endearing continuation of that scene is when all of Zoe's fears are realized as the townspeople bombard her with questions, and Wade comes in to run interference and save Zoe from having to explain what she and he aren't ready to explain yet.
ReplyDeleteFour scenes of the 100 but I can only pick three - that's not fair :(
ReplyDeleteThe Elementary, Grimm, and 12 Monkeys scenes mentioned.
ReplyDeleteLoved The 100 and HTGAWM is back. The end of Helix got me. I thought yeah okay he talks to himself but that he actually has them sitting there is freaky.....
ReplyDeleteHTGAWM-Thank god Annaliese got to the station in time to stop Connor and Michelle. Also when she was in the bathroom and heard those girls talking about her (awkward & hilarious).
ReplyDeleteScandal-I had a hunch that the guy imprisoned with Olivia was a bad guy but once they (supposedly) killed him I shut down that hunch real quick. Glad to see I was right in the end
Agent Carter- Glad to see that Dottie can kick ass Black Widow style. She had to be someone important considering they didn't have to introduce her. I hope she turns out to be a good person
Gotham-Jim had to feel bad with that guy begging on his knees to leave his family out of it
i hope Dottie IS good
ReplyDeleteSAME! All The 100 scenes were amazing!
ReplyDeleteAll The 100 scenes!
ReplyDeleteAll the 100 scenes, but especially the ending scene with Bellamy and Lincoln. Excellent and intense!
ReplyDeleteBut someone help me out please: "It was nearly possible to feel Bellamy's fear and desperation as he watched Lincoln give into his addiction." That's not how I understand this scene. Or I don't understand the meaning of "give into his addiction". This sounds like once an addict always an addict, if you get it offered, you take it.
That's not how I see it. For me Lincoln had no other choice in this situation. Their plan was for Bellamy to sneak inside while Lincoln distracts the guards etc., and this plan got ruined by the guard person who locked up the door. Lincoln had to take the drug, had to maintain their cover. If he refused to take it, or tried to run away, it would've been the death sentence of them both, and those in MW. To get Bellamy inside as a prisoner was the only chance they had left.
Hmm, I actually thought their plan was, to quote Bellamy: "When they bring out the red, you grab it, and you run like hell. The Reapers will go nuts, the Grounders will run, and the Mountain Men have to deal with it. No one will be looking for a grounder running into the mountain." So for me, it looked like Bellamy was waiting for Lincoln to take the drug with him and run, making a distraction. And it all went badly, as we know. Though I could be wrong, it was such a intense scene.
ReplyDeleteBasically, I don't think it could have ended worse. Anyway, it was a great scene, no matter how we look at it ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, that was the plan, but since one of the guards locked up the door, what they didn't expect, noone could run into the mountain. If you watch the scene, they first changed glances like "now it's time", then when Bellamy saw the door got locked he turns his head and you see Lincoln take a step backwards, and he looked a bit like sh** what are we going to do now. Then he made his decision, and in my opinion he made this decision for Bellamy to finally get inside.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was, and to be honest, I'm so NOT looking forward to Wednesday. I don't want to see him like that. This past episode had the most intense scene of the season, but the next episode will be the most heartbreaking one for me (besides Finn's death). Up to now...
ReplyDeleteAgreed. The promo was already painful to watch, I honestly don't know I'll get through the entire episode.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting discussion because so many people see it different ways. I caught an interview with Ricky in regards to 2x10 & from what I could tell... They were telling the story that gave into his addiction which is tragic & heartbreaking.. I think when we first saw Lincoln in the tunnels saying "he couldn't do this" when the Reaper party was approaching was a hint that Lincoln probably wouldn't have been able to resist early on. But Ricky also explained that Lincoln also recognized that each of the plans they came up with were dangerous & risky and from the beginning it was clear it wouldn't end well. So in a way Lincoln kept up the ruse so he took the drug. But even if the stakes weren't so high Lincoln probably would have still succumbed to the Red.
ReplyDeleteSo, we are all right, somehow. :)
