Scene Of The Week - December 14, 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, "The Climb", December 10, 2014, Actors: Stephen Amell and more, The Scenes: Oliver Queen's "death" & Oliver says his goodbye to Diggle, Roy and Felicity
Justyna Kubica:
Oliver Queen is … dead? It wasn't a surprise, I'm sure many of fans guessed the twist weeks ago but still it was such a powerful scene, to watch the show's main hero killed. I'm saying "killed" but I don't doubt that it's not the end of Oliver's journey. The question remains: how is he going to come back from this? I heard Lazarus Pit is a very popular theory. Especially considering how badly injured Queen really is. In fact, if he wasn't the Arrow, he would certainly die after being stabbed and falling like that, not to mention the freezing cold. Knowing that the character is going to survive, no matter what, can often undermine the story and the impact of the moment but that's not the case here. From the beginning of the season our hero stuggled with the idea of being only the Arrow and losing his other self but in the end, his actions in the episode ended up being Oliver Queen's, the man protecting his family, friends, his city. The fight itself was both impressive and really sad. It didn't even take long, our hero never truly had a chance. His last memories, the flashback of his loved ones, as Ra's al Ghul kills him (yet still quietly pays him a sort of tribute), was such a heartbreaking view. Absolutely great performance by Stephen Amell! In the end, no matter how Oliver returns, I don't believe he's going to be the same person he was before, a part of him died there. For now, I'm waiting to see our hero's rising. By the way, the whole thing made me miss Batman so much. Kudos!
Daniel van der Veer: We all saw it coming and we all knew it was going to end with Oliver's supposed death. It's also very obvious that Oliver in fact survived the fight because Arrow is not going to kill of its lead character. Still, the fight between Ra's al Ghul and Oliver was pretty awesome. The fact that Ra's only used one hand highlights how good of a fighter he is. This was an epic battle for sure!
Bradley Adams: Oliver fights Ra's al Ghul, only to lose and be killed by him.
Diana Mack: Same. Also, before dying, Oliver sees flashbacks of the most important people in his life - his mother, Thea and Felicity. Also picked by Jamie Coudeville
Sylvie C: Oliver says his goodbye to Diggle, Roy and Felicity. What can I say I enjoyed those kind of emotional scenes and Stephen's acting really improved over the years. The goodbyes were simple, honest and still really emotional. Even if I loved the battle scene and was shocked by the ending, it's this one that made me cry.

CHICAGO PD, "Called in Dead", December 10, 2014, Actors: Jason Beghe and more
The Scene: The squad goes undercover as a crew and steals drugs from a club
Ben Norton:
This was such a fun scene, I knew it was them towards the end, but it was a great scene and hope to see more of scenes like this in the future.

CRIMINAL MINDS, "Amelia Porter", December 10, 2014, Actor: Matthew Gray Gubler
The Scene: Reid pieces together the unsub's timeline
Laura Markus:
This was yet another example of how to utilize Reid's skills appropriately. It made for a great scene and was honestly very interesting to see pan out on TV.

GRIMM, "Chupacabra", December 12, 2014, Actor: Bitsie Tulloch
The Scene: Juliette reveal at the end
Diana Mack:
Juliette looks at herself in the mirror and finds out she's becoming a Hexenbeist! Great plot twist, I didn't see this coming, lol.

HOMELAND, "13 Hours in Islamabad", December 7, 2014, Actors: Rupert Friend, Mandy Patinkin, The Scene: Quinn aggressively 'interviews' Saul (picked by Bradley Adams)

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF SHIELD, "What They Become", December 9, 2014, Actors: Chloe Bennet, B.J. Britt, Ruth Negga, The Scene: Raina and Skye are transformed but Trip dies
Justyna Kubica:
That was a spectacular fall finale! And the ending, the ending turned out to be a real game-changer. That's not something I say very often. Skye is Daisy Johnson! As in Quake, as in Avenger! I wasn't always a fan of her storyline but this one's a true winner. And as if that wasn't enough, there's also a whole new amazing world of Inhumans being introduced on the show. I don't actually know the story but I've heard great things and was already excited about the movie and now we get to see the introduction on one of my favorite shows, it sounds pretty perfect. The moment when Skye transforms was done beautifully, the entire shot makes her look quite heroic, the music, the slow motion, it all works wonderfully. But sadly that's not the only thing that happens in the scene. The entire team is desperately trying to stop the bombs and save the rest but only Trip manages to get to Skye on time. The heartbreaking part, however, is the fact that he doesn't get to have any superpowers. In a cruel twist, he ends up watching Skye's transformation (which he believes to be her death) and dies after being hit by the shard (from the Diviner he destroys), petrified and then shattered. I wasn't at all prepared for his departure and it was such a painful surprise. The scene ends with Skye emerging from her petrification and seeing Trip falling apart which causes her to cry and start an earthquake around her. Intense, emotional, tragic scene with great performances by the cast, especially Chloe Bennet and B.J. Britt. I still can't believe it all happened. And there's a part of me that's waiting for some magical twist that's going to bring Trip back, still trying to say goodbye to him. Kudos to the entire team behind the show, great work on the episode!
Klutzy girl: Skye transforms after going into the alien city. The whole sequence was amazing and I really can't wait for 2B. I really want to see how she learns to control her new power(s). Also picked by Jamie Coudeville

NASHVILLE, "First to Have a Second Chance", December 10, 2014, Actors: Hayden Panettiere, Jonathan Jackson, The Scene: Juliette and Avery get married
Klutzy girl:
I knew it was coming but didn't know how and that was perfect for them. So excited to see what happens next.

ONCE UPON A TIME, "Shattered Sight", December 7, 2014, Actors: Elizabeth Mitchell and more, The Scene: Ingrid sacrifices herself
Klutzy girl:
Ingrid sacrifices herself after hearing what her sister said. I wish she didn't have to die but I absolutely love what she told Anna, Elsa, and Emma.

REIGN, "Mercy", December 11, 2014, Actors: Adelaide Kane, Sean Teale and more, The Scene: Mary gets her revenge
Sandi:
Adelaide Kane once again absolutely nailed the emotions of her character this week, she is doing an amazing job. The speech she gave her rapist telling him that history would forget him yet remember her forever was incredibly powerful. Sean Teale also played the shock at discovering what had happened to Mary well, without overtaking the scene. It was Mary's moment, and she wasn't going to be merciful in it at all. I am glad that the show is treating the subject matter with the respect that it deserves, and that this act didn't 'cure' her like the character thought it should have done. It will take some time for her to come to terms with what has happened, and the show is right to show that happening.

REVENGE, "Atonement", December 7, 2014, Actors: Josh Bowman, Emily VanCamp and more, The Scene: Daniel's death
Justyna Kubica:
In a way, I always expected Daniel’s death to happen on the show. After all, the series started from that scene on the beach where everyone believed him to be dead. In the end it turned out to be Tyler but not long after that memorable episode I lost my sympathy for the character. Daniel taking his father’s side after learning the truth about David Clarke was just the beginning of the destruction of this once kind and likeable man. There were definitely a few little moments since then that made him seem more familiar and interesting but he never truly came back to being the guy I once rooted for. Especially after his most memorable act: shooting Emily and causing her infertility, only deepening her pain and hatred for his family. Which is probably why it feels very fitting to see him meeting his end doing quite the opposite of that crime- saving the life of his old love, after finally deciding to let go of Conrad’s destructive advices and choosing not to become like his father. I have to admit I was one of the people who really enjoyed his last scenes with Emily for these past few episodes. For the first time being completely honest with each other, the two made me remember why I became their fan back in season one. And though I don’t believe I would ever wish to see them back together (I can’t imagine building your life and family together with the person responsible for making you not being able to have kids), I was glad to see that Daniel got a chance to look for his redemption at the end. A second chance, even a late one, is always something worth fighting for, if you ask me. This way he gets to leave the show with the fans remembering his best self, making it a more peaceful closure than some of the people before him. Farewell Daniel. It was a great scene, with the beautiful performances by Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman. I will certainly miss the dynamics between the two. Wish the actor all the best in his future projects.

SCORPION, "Revenge", December 8, 2014, Actors: Ari Stidham, Katharine McPhee and more
The Scene: The team gathers around Sylvester's hospital bed
A Dahne:
The team gathers around Sylvester's hospital bed, reading comics while he sleeps. While the episode itself was kind of a mess, I love how this scene starts with Paige confirming that Sylvester is family and then walking in to see all the others there as well. It was made even better by the fact that they were passing the time reading Sylvester's beloved comics. This was a perfect team moment and showed how much they all care for each other.

SONS OF ANARCHY, "Papa's Goods", December 9, 2014, Actors: Charlie Hunnam and more
The Scene: The opening montage of Jax's last morning
Maximilian Conte:
The opening montage of Jax's last morning set to Bruce Springsteen's 'Adam Raised a Cain'. We see him in bed with Wendy, kissing his sons, looking at old photos of himself and his parents, and then taking his father's manuscript and his own journals for his sons and burning them. He sets his final affairs in order, says goodbye to the old clubhouse, and rides his father's bike to visit Opie and Tara's graves. 

STALKER, "Tell All", December 10, 2014, Actors: Erik Stocklin and more
The Scene: Perry gets arrested
Laura Markus:
Honestly, this is self-explanatory. I'm sure Perry will find a way to escape, but for now, this was the sweet justice that fans needed. Beth can rest for a while knowing that this scumbag is behind bars, thanks to Janice.

SUPERNATURAL, "The Things We Left Behind", December 9, 2014, Actors: Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, The Scene: The last scene
Sylvie C:
Sam finding Dean with knife in hand covered in blood surrounded by dead bodies. Those guys are really nailing those highly emotional scenes between them and this one was no exception. And again I cried.

THE 100, "Long Into an Abyss", December 10, 2014, Actors: Paige Turco, Ricky Whittle and more, The Scenes: Jaha and Abby's power struggle & Abbie electrocutes Lincoln's heart
Daniel van der Veer:
The 100 has come such a long way in just 20 (!) episodes and part of it is the great and fast-paced character development of the show. Wednesday's episode saw a power struggle I never thought I would see: one between Jaha and Abby. They have had their fair share of disagreements but they have never had a real power struggle like the one between Kane and Abby. It was a great scene and it was awesome to see Abby step up to Jaha. The acting by Isaiah Washington and Paige Turco was top notch as always.
A Dahne: In the midst of a tight grounder vs. Ark standoff, Abbie jolts Lincoln back to life and therefore establishes a shaky alliance. I loved the tension in this scene. Two rival camps were about to go to war when Abby saves the day. While she's no Anya, the new Grounder Queen is fascinating and I can't wait to see if they actually do go after the Mountain Men or if they end up in a war themselves.
Ben Norton: This was a very intense scene, The 100 have produced a lot of these scenes in the past, but it was great to see that Lincoln was no longer a reaper.

THE FALL, "The Fall", December 7, 2014, Actors: Valene Kane, Gillian Anderson, The Scene: Rose's video
Sandi:
We've not seen her since Paul stole her aware from her house in the middle of the night right in front of her family, and it's been a mystery up until now as to what he's done with her. This simple, yet morbidly captivating, monologue from Rose was gut wrenching to watch. Much more chilling than any of the murders the show has ever portrayed, this has made the Belfast Strangler a completely different kind of monster. Valene Kane performance in those couple of minutes are the highlight of the series so far, I haven't had any show move me in such a way for a long time. Gillian Anderson's reaction as the usually steadfast and in control Stella breaking down as she watched the video was also heartbreaking to witness.

THE FLASH, "The Man in the Yellow Suit", December 9, 2014, Actors: Tom Cavanagh, Grant Gustin and more, The Scenes: Harrison Wells reveals his Reverse Flash costume & Barry and his father talk & Barry admits his love for Iris
Daniel van der Veer:
Harrison Wells reveals his Reverse Flash costume. Wells has been keeping secrets for the entire season so I thought he had something to do with the Reverse Flash. Still, it was a pretty big reveal to see that he had the costume. I am not even sure how it is possible and if Wells really is the Reverse Flash, but I am looking forward to see how everything turns out.
Sylvie C: Barry and his father. When Barry told his dad it was his fault he was still in prison, I cried. It was so well acted on both part. Just the look on his father face made me cry.
Bradley Adams: Barry tells his dad that he thinks it's his fault that his dad is still in prison.
Ben Norton: Barry admits his love for Iris. This was such a great scene for me, they both have great chemistry and it will be interesting to see where the writers take this.

THE GOLDBERGS, "The Most Handsome Boy on the Planet", December 10, 2014, Actors: Jeff Garlin, Sean Giambron, The Scene: Murray tells Adam that they will never be estranged
A Dahne:
Murray tells Adam that they will never be estranged like he is with his own dad. I love how he uses ET as a way to connect with Adam and reassure him. Murray is a great character and getting to know his back story with his father was a great insight into why he acts like he does, but with one difference. Murray really loves his children and it shows best here.

THE MENTALIST, "The Greybar Hotel", December 7, 2014, Actors: Robin Tunney and more
The Scene: Lisbon talks with Marie about Jane
Diana Mack:
In prison, Lisbon talks with Marie about her feelings for Jane and how he confessed his love for her on the plane. Such a sweet scene!

THE ORIGINALS, "The Map of Moments", December 8, 2014, Actors: Joseph Morgan, Phoebe Tonkin and more, The Scene: Klaus and Hayley's reunion with Hope
Jamie Coudeville:
This scene was so adorable. I've been waiting for their reunion since the finale last season. I hope they don't have to be seperated again.
