Courtney "I’m going to tell the headmaster."
Doctor "Oh yes, fine. Well hurry along, you’re running out of time."
Courtney "For what?"
Doctor "Everything. Human beings have incredibly short life spans. Frankly, you should all be in a permanent state of panic. Tick-tock, tick-tock."

Danny "And he’s not the caretaker. He’s … your dad. Your space dad."
Doctor "Oh, genius. That is really, really brilliant reasoning. How can you think that I’m her dad when we both look exactly the same age."
Clara "We do not look the same age."
Doctor "I was being kind."

Sandi: Clara "You cannot pass yourself off as a real person among actual people"
Doctor "I lived among otters once for a month...well, I sulked. River and I, we had this big fight..."
Clara "Human beings are not otters!"
Doctor "Exactly. It'll be even easier"

Danny "Time 'Lord' - might have known!"
Doctor "Might have known what?"
Danny "Well the accent's good, but you can always spot the aristocracy. It's in the...attitude. Now, Time Lords, do you salute those?"
Doctor "Definitely not"
Danny (salutes crisply) "Sir!"
Doctor "You do not call me Sir"
Danny "As you wish, Sir. Absolutely, Sir"
Doctor "You, get out of my TARDIS"
Danny "Immediately Sir"

Doctor "I am not an officer!"
Danny "I am the one who carries out the fire, he's the one who lights it"
Doctor "Out! Now!"
Danny "Right away Sir, straight now?"
Doctor "Yes"
Danny "Am I dismissed?"
Doctor "YES! YES YOU ARE!"
Danny (to Clara) "That's him. Look at him right now. That's who he is" (leaves)
Doctor (to Clara) "On balance, I think that went quite well"


FOREVER, "Pilot" & "Look Before You Leap", 23th September, 2014

Tonya Papanikolas: Henry voiceover "It's not the number of years we live that matters. Our lives just add up to a series of moments. We never know when or where they'll happen. But they stick with us, marking our souls forever."

I thought this was a very insightful commentary. It's so true.

Abigail "Who cares how it ends? Life is about the journey - no matter how long it lasts."

Dahne: Abe "I have news for you. You might not be able to die, but you haven't lived for a very long time."

Lucas "That is new information and now something that I can't unknow."


GOTHAM, "Pilot", 22nd September, 2014

Harvey (to Jim) "You seem like a nice guy - and this is not a city for nice guys."

Falcone "I'm a business man. You can't have organized crime without law and order."

Sandi: Oswald "Please Mr Gordon, let me live. I'll do whatever you say, I..I'll be your slave for life. Listen, there's a war coming. A..a terrible war. Falcone is losing his grip and his and his rivals are hungry. There...there will be chaos. Rivers of blood in the streets. I know it! I..I can see it coming. See, I'm clever that way. And I can help you. I..I can be a spy."
Jim "Shut up! Turn around"
Oswald "For gods sake, have mercy"
Jim "Don't ever come back to Gotham"


HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, "Pilot", 25th September, 2014

Robert Fruin: Professor Keating "Think carefully ,everything after this moment will not only determine your career , but life. You can spend it in a cooperate office drafting contracts and hitting on chubby pair of legals before finally putting a gun in your mouth or you can join my firm and become someone you actually like."

Dahne: Keating "Good morning. I don't know what terrible things you've done in your life up to this point, but clearly your karma's out of balance to get assigned to my class."


INTRUDERS, "Bound", 27th September, 2014

Robert Fruin: Rose "You should know that I laid his tiny shell to rest with the highest respect paid to the newly adjourned and if you find him one day you'll no that I left him their so that you can all be together again , a gift from an old love."


OUTLANDER, "The Garrison Commander", 13th September, 2014

Nirat Anop: Jamie "I dunno mean to imply that you have some vast knowledge of men but you know more than I do with such matters."
Claire "Out with it."
Jamie "Is it usual, what it is between us, when I touch you, when I lie with you, Is it always so between a man and a woman?"
Claire "It's often something like this, but no, this isn't usual, it's different."

Reverend Wakefield "It's fashionable in this Modern Age to dismiss the idea of Good and Evil. But there is Evil and it finds punctures in good men by giving sin the sweet taste of ecstacy. The Nazi's drank from that poision cup thinking all the while they were slicking their with the sweetest wine."
Frank "Are you suggesting that I have been drinking from that same cup?"
Reverend Wakefield "Evil has but one cup, they drank long and deep, yours was but a sip. Make it your last. Turn away from the darkness that beckons you and go back into the light."

Mrs Graham "The stories are old. Some say as old as the stones themselves. Past down from generation to generation. Ballads and Songs. The songs tell stories of people who travel through stones. The circle at Craigh na Dun marks a place on the Earth where the powers of nature come together. The stones gather the powers and give it focus like a glass and for certain people, on certain days, it allows them to pierce the veil of time. Mr. Randall, you know your wife went up that hill the day she vanished. I believe she didn't come back down that hill... at least not in 1945. I believe she traveled to some other time."

Claire "I tried to avoid thinking about the incident in the meadow, my mind kept returning to it, again and again, picking at a festering sore best left untouched. And suddenly there it was Craigh na Dun. My mind had been so clouded and confused, I didn't recognise the road when we road in. I was back to the place where it all began, so much had happened, so much had changed. Last I was here i was Claire Randall, then Claire Beauchamp, then Claire Fraser. The question was who did I want to be."
Frank "Claire, Claire, Claire! Where are you? Claire"
Claire "Frank! Wait for me, Frank!"

Jamie "I'll thank you to take your hands off my wife."


PERSON OF INTEREST, "Panopticon", 23rd September, 2014

Bradley Adams: Reese “You know, you really shouldn’t hold those things sideways. You can’t aim, and you’ll eject a shell casing into your… oh, forget it.” Also chosen by Sharon Seymour

Loved the callback to the pilot and Reese just giving up on warning the Brotherhood guys.

Fusco “Yeah, well now he’s unaffiliated.”

Love Fusco. Great line.

Robert Fruin: Reese "We don't need jobs Harold, we need a purpose."


RED BAND SOCIETY, "Sole Searching", 24th September, 2014

Tonya Papanikolas: Nurse Jackson "You can't run away from your life. It's yours and it's precious. You just have to claim it." Also chosen by Dahne

Coma kid voiceover "Sometimes you don't need to walk in another person's shoes to know how they feel. Sometimes the best thing you can do is sit beside them."

Dahne: Dash "Looks like someone 'roided up One Direction and mated them with zombies."


SCANDAL, "Randy, Red, Superfreak and Julia", 25th September, 2014

Allyson Koerner: Mellie "I just want to be clear that there are some things that I’m just not gonna do anymore. Things that just feel like an insulting waste of time once you have held your dead son in your arms. Monitoring you is one of those things. So, I’m saying when you see her and then you come home all hot and bothered and you decide to pretend that you are a good family man so you climb into my bed and on top of me. I’m saying, when you see her you will tell me, because I’m gonna want some warning. Because I don’t know if I can even imagine getting turned on by you right now. Oh, and FYI, when you stick your hand into my panties, another thing that I just don’t do anymore is wax. So, it’s 1976 down there."

It doesn’t get much better than a Mellie monologue. Not only is she one of the best characters on ‘Scandal,’ but she usually delivers some of the top quotes, like she does here when she tells Fitz there are some things she’s just not going to do anymore.

Jake "We both know it's not my turn any more. We both know we're not standing in the sun. We both know you're standing in the shade of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. As long as we're back, it's his turn, despite the fact that I'm the one you like to ride. That I'm the one who makes you moan. The one who reaches you in places that he can't begin to touch. Isn't that right?"

The Season 4 ‘Scandal’ premiere showcased Jake Ballard’s talent to talk dirty. Right? Scruffy and dirty talking Jake = the best Jake. 

Sharon Seymour: Mellie "Oh, and FYI…. Another thing that I just don't do anymore is wax. So… it's 1976 down there.”


SCORPION, "Pilot", 22nd September, 2014

Ben Norton: Walter "You cross me on this, I'll go online, and in less than an hour, I will erase you." Also chosen by Bradley Adams & sandi

Dahne: Walter "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your son's a genius."

Paige "You're the world's smartest computer guy and this comes down to plugging something in." Also chosen by sandi


THE BLACKLIST, "Lord Baltimore", 22nd September, 2014

Bradley Adams: Red "Funny thing...I recently acquired three hellfire missiles at a considerable discount. If you give me what I want, I can still call off the other two."

James Spader delivers this so well.

Red "I have tens of thousands of things to worry about. Fortunately, you, my dear, are not one of them."
Samar Navabi "And why is that?"
Red "Because the person you just informed of my capture is going to release me within the hour."
Samar "Aren't we confident today?"
Red "I'm confident every day."

  5. I do too. They have some interesting things in mind for the series and are looking to bring in other characters like Two Face and Mr Freeze so hopefully it will keep things fresh.

  6. I've heard that we could be guessing for some time who the Joker could be, I'm assuming candidate number one is the guy who was auditioning for Fish?

    ReplyDelete
  7. From what I have heard the guy auditioning could be the joker. There are meant to be several candidates that could be the joker and the actual one will eventually be revealed. The reveal probably wont happen for a number of episodes , but when it does it should be awesome.

  8. I really liked the dude auditioning, an old joke but his timing still had me raise a chuckle, lol. He'd work well imo!

  9. Agree with all the above for the shows I've watched and looking forward to the ones I'm still trying to catch up on - just watched the Gotham pilot (took longer than normal cuz I had to Google who everyone but Bruce, Alfred and Gorden were)..like all the quotes listed but the Falcone was my favorite.
