Quote of the Week - 7th June 2015

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.

Community "Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television"
1) Jeff: "I love that I got to be with you guys. You saved my life and changed it forever. Thank you" (Pablo)
2) Abed: "It has to be joyful, effortless, fun. TV defeats its own purpose when it's pushing an agenda or trying to defeat other TV or being proud or ashamed of itself for existing. It's TV. It's comfort. It's a friend you've known so well and for so long you just let it be with you and it needs to be okay for it to have a bad day or phone in a day and it needs to be okay for it to get on a boat with LeVar Burton and never come back because eventually it all will." (Dahne)
3) Abed: "Are you guys doing an unauthorized finale in here? Not cool." (Dahne)
4) Voiceover: "Viewers may be measured by a secretive, obsolete system based on selective participants keeping handwritten journals of what they watch. Show may be cancelled and move to the internet where it turns out 10's of millions were watching the whole time. May not matter." (Dahne)
5) Jeff: "Aww, we're supposed to be shaping minds but we keep shaping each other. Bring it in." (Dahne)
6) Jeff: "We were just saying goodbye to the room" Annie: "For season 6. Season 7, who knows? It's out of our hands, too many variables." (Dahne)

Roose "A smart commander does not abandon a defensive advantage. As long as we stay behind these walls, they can't touch us. Not to mention that the snow is so deep, we couldn't get an army through to engage them even if we wanted to." Ramsay "I don't need an army. I need 20 good men." (Sandi)
9) Jon "The Long Night is coming and the dead come with it. No clan can stop them. The free folk can't stop them. The Night's Watch can't stop them. And all the southern kings can't stop them.
