Welcome to Day 4 of our pitches. Pitches from previous days can be found in the links below. Again, thank you to everyone who helped with the pitches. To keep articles shorter and more readable, all pitches were edited for length, clarity, and grammar. Nominations were also limited to 3 per show with a couple very popular shows having more. I am truly sorry if your nomination is not in here. Know that I appreciate your time and pitches. Making the choice of what went in was difficult. After all sections are posted, I will include a link to the original spreadsheet so you can read them all in their unedited entirety.<br />

-2 seasons, 18 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>Noor</b> - Galavant just has it all: great catchy songs, amazing production values, hilarious jokes, and meta jokes too! It also has some heartfelt moments and genuinely satisfying character arcs for a half hour comedy with only 18 episodes. It's amazing how much the show accomplished with its short run and it doesn't end on a cliffhanger, which is a huge bonus because it makes the cancellation hurt slightly less! Just give it a try. It's short and breezy and you will probably binge it all in 2 days. Good luck getting the songs out of your head! You don't want to be humming <i>Off with His Shirt</i> anywhere people can hear you!<br />

-1 season, 13 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>The North Remembers</b> - Gang Related is a fast-paced crime drama with interesting characters that live in the gray area of police work. Ryan Lopez (Ramon Rodriguez) grew up raised by Javier Acosta, leader of the most feared and dangerous gang in LA. Seeking to get away from that life and partly because of what he owes to Acosta, he joins the police force to act as an inside man. Ryan quickly rises through the ranks and into the elite gang task force led by the well-intentioned but questionable Captain Chapel (Terry O’Quinn). Ryan works to keep the streets of LA safe while feeding intel to his adoptive family, but his dedication to do good and his growing feelings for ADA Jessica Chapel (Shantel VanSanten) make Ryan question his loyalties to the only family he has ever known. He must decide between being the man he has to be or the man he wants to be. Sadly, like most Fox shows, it's only one season and ends in a cliffhanger, but for fans of characters who struggle with right and wrong and make hard choices that affect the lives of those around them, I recommend it.<br />

-5 seasons, 107 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>The North Remembers</b> - While most people know Jennifer Love Hewitt from the teen drama Party of Five, this show really showcased her as a mature young adult actress. Melinda Gordon, a recently married antique store owner, discovers she has the ability to talk to the dead. She uses her ability to help spirits trapped in the world of the living settle their unfinished business before they move on. It could be love or hate or an unfinished task from when they were alive. Melinda helps and acts on their behalf to help them crossover. Hauntingly beautiful, this show can make you feel creeped out one minute and then sentimental the next.<br />

-2 seasons, 42 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>Luana</b> - Miles (Brandon Micheal Hall) is an atheist who gets a friend suggestion from a Facebook account by the name “God,” which leads him to help people all through the show. Though the premise might seem tricky to sell to a broad audience, there’s so much heart in every story and discussion of faith in a broader spectrum. This leads to some very interesting moments, especially his conversations with his father, a reverend played by the amazing Joe Morton. The show is now over, but it feels like there’s enough closure to be a feel-good ride for anyone looking for something to pull at the heartstrings.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Maria</b> - When I first heard of God Friended Me at the 2018 upfronts, I was interested from the start. This type of religious, feel-good show is what broadcast TV is sorely lacking these days. It only lasted 2 seasons, but I would gladly recommend this amazing, short-lived show to anyone looking for a great feel good show!<br />
<br />
3. <b>Maria Sol</b> - Something that we surely need these days is uplifting stories that restore our faith in humanity, and that’s exactly what this show about: family, friends, faith and kindness. Miles is an atheist millennial who shares his thoughts in a podcast while keeping a daily job in a tech company, until one day he receives a friend request on Facebook by God. From that moment, Miles and his best friend Rakesh (later joined by Cara), start helping people suggested by the God account, while trying to solve the mystery of who’s behind it. Sadly, it was cancelled after only 2 seasons, but you can still enjoy this show that, after each episode, leaves you with a smile on your face, not without first making you shed a tear or two.<br />

-1 season, 10 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>The North Remembers</b> - A period drama set in the 1960’s and prequel to the classic film American Gangster, Godfather of Harlem is based on the real life account of Bumpy Johnson, played by the prolific Forrest Whitaker. After serving 10 years in prison, crime boss Bumpy Johnson returns to find his neighbourhood in shambles and now ruled by the Italian mob. To gain back control of his territory, Johnson forges alliances and partnerships with well-known historical figures including his childhood friend Malcolm X, all while clashing with brutal Italian gangster Vincent ‘The Chin’ Gigante (Vincent D'Onofrio). I recommend this series for lovers of historical dramatizations or mob boss shows based on true life events.<br />

-3 season, 34 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>Lindsey</b> - The first thing you’ll learn about our “Good Girls,” is they’re not very good girls. Through a variety of circumstances, this trio of suburban mothers begins working for a local gang. The crime world, as well as the relationships between the central characters, will keep you on the edge of your seat.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Luana</b> - Three “soccer moms,” played by Christina Hendricks, Retta, and Mae Whitman, find themselves in a world of criminals to pay the bills and events only spiral from there. The leads have great chemistry and there are some very fun moments and great performances. The way they approach the subject reminds me a little bit of Breaking Bad but there’s a whole new and original approach that keeps things fresh. Manny Montana and Matthew Lillard also add a lot to the mix, one with charisma and the other with some of the funniest scenes. I’ll let you decide who’s who, but in any case, this show definitely deserves a chance.<br />

-4 seasons, 50 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>Luana</b> - There are very few recent comedies I consider better than The Good Place. The first few episodes can be misleading, so if you checked it out and discarded it that soon, I definitely recommend giving it another shot. This is one of the few shows in general that are able to pull the rug out from under your feet time and time again and somehow still be funny, heartfelt and absolutely brilliant. The show wouldn’t be the same without the amazing cast and characters that you’ll absolutely fall in love with, including Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, D'Arcy Carden, Jameela Jamil, William Jackson Harper, and Manny Jacinto. Especially now that the show is over, I can safely say they have forking pulled it off and it will remain one of my favorite comedies ever.<br />

-1 season, 10 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>E. R. Marshall</b> - It’s rare to find good horror, especially a series. With limited time, building and keeping suspense is tricky and not many TV shows can pull it off. The Haunting of Hill House is the exception. The Haunting of Hill House is loosely based on Shirley Jackson’s novel. The series follows the Crain family, in the past and present, who grew up in a haunted house. This show is an unsettling, psychological thriller that is complex and unpredictable.<br />

-1 season, 8 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>The North Remembers</b> - Set in a small town in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Monica Raymund plays National Marine Fisheries Service officer Jackie Quinones. She’s the kind of cop who more or less sleepwalks through her job and would rather retire with her pension intact to spend the rest of her days partying hard with booze and drugs.That all changes when Jackie stumbles upon the body of a dead woman. She suddenly sees it as a wake-up call and works to uncover her death, while at the same time taking her first steps to better herself. Hightown is a dark, gritty crime drama that showcases the unsavoury reality of the opium/heroin epidemic, while telling the story of a protagonist struggling to overcome addiction and take control of her life. This is a recommended series for any Starz watchers and Monica Raymund fans.<br />

-1 season, 10 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>The North Remembers</b> - I have seen this show time and again and I still can’t quite describe it in words. The best way to sum this show up is if the movie Inglorious Bastards was a TV series. In 1977 New York, after his grandmother is murdered, young Jonah is inducted into a group of vigilante Nazi hunters led by a Holocust survivor friend of his grandmother (Al Pacino). Their job is to seek and kill Nazi officers that have been secretly hiding in the US since the end of World War 2. The hunters must eliminate these Nazis before they rebuild the Reich in America. All the while, Jonah searches for the one who killed his grandmother. After the opening scene of the pilot, you will be hooked. For a TV show, it is filmed like a grindhouse movie that is graphic, yet charming. It shows brutal, bloody visuals, yet with a certain bizarre campiness to it. The “Long Tall Sally” scene was particularly memorable. The plot is also very twisted. Just when you think you’ve figured the story or a character out, you are suddenly thrown for a loop. This is definitely a must watch if you’re a fan of Tarantino-like films and serial thrillers.<br />

-7 including ‘The final act’, 193 including ‘The final act’<br />
<br />
1. <b>The North Remembers</b> - In the days of Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon, this very well-written anime series was and still continues to be overlooked. The story follows modern day school student Kagome, who is transported to the feudal era of Japan, a time when powerful priestesses and malevolent demons walked the earth. They’re all fighting for the Shikon Jewel, a mystic gem of absolute power. During a fight, the jewel is shattered into many shards and scattered throughout the land. To retrieve them, Kagome teams up with Inuyasha, a half-demon who was sealed away fifty years ago while trying to steal the jewel to become a full-blooded demon and who Kagome releases when she arrives in the feudal area. Along the way Inuyasha and Kagome are joined by a group of companions in their quest, which include a womanizing monk, a vengeful demon slayer, and an orphaned fox demon child. They journey to find the jewel shards and protect the innocent along the way. While it starts off initially as a monster of the week show, the series incorporates long, serialized arcs that play throughout the show’s run. It’s an amazing show of adventure, love, and character development.<br />

-2 seasons, 45 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>The North Remembers</b> - Joan of Arcadia is a show of heart and family dynamics that was sadly short lived. In a lot of ways, it has the concept of God Friended Me but at a time before the massive presence of social media. Set in the small town of Arcadia, Joan Girardi (Amber Tamblyn) promises to do anything God wants if he lets her brother (Jason Ritter) survive the car crash that leaves him wheelchair-bound. God grants her request on the condition that she does what he asks. Appearing in the form of various people, including small children, teenage boys, elderly ladies, transients, and random passersby, Joan performs tasks he gives her that often appear to be trivial or don’t seem to make sense but always end up for the greater good. This is a show for fans that want their heartstrings tugged with amazing performances from well-known actors such as Joe Mantegna, Michael Welch, and even a young Wentworth Miller.<br />

Sarah and her new partner, the streetwise former narcotics officer Holder (Joel Kinnaman), work to uncover the mystery of Rosie’s death. The story is told through three points of view as we see the detectives investigate, the Larsen family grieve and struggle through the tragedy, and a politician who seems to have a stake in all of it. This is a dark show that goes in depth into the psyche and emotional mindset of the characters. This show was so popular it was saved after being cancelled twice.<br />

The show follows parents 'Appa' and 'Umma,' who run a local convenience store, and their adult children Jung and Janet. I really love this show. It isn't necessarily laugh-out-loud funny but it is a show I look forward to watching. With 4 seasons and 2 more commissioned, now is the time to catch up, especially as next year Simu Liu who plays Jung will become a megastar with the release of the Marvel movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Watch the show now and pretend you knew Simu was going to be huge before everyone else did!<br />

-2 seasons, 12 episodes<br />
<br />
1. <b>Milo</b> - If you want a series that plays out like a mashup of Game of Thrones by way of The Walking Dead with the high-octane pace of Train to Busan, but better than all three, Kingdom is your show. It’s one of Netflix’s best original series with a big budget to boot. Set in Korea’s past, it follows a young prince struggling to deal with the death of his father. However, something is kept secret from the prince – his father isn’t exactly dead and his father isn’t the only one. Soon, the dead are walking. If political scrambles for the throne weren’t bad enough, now Korea has to deal with the incredibly fast hordes of the dead. It’s a series that moves along at a rapid pace, making the most out of its 12 episodes and packing in so much content that it would take most shows four seasons or more to get through. Yet, character development is never sacrificed and all-star performers like Sense8’s Bae Doo-na and Ju Ji-Hoon anchor this epic, which proves that there is still life in the zombie genre yet, built on non-stop action that rivals Mad Max: Fury Road. <br />

1. <b>The North Remembers</b> - A dramatization of the life of the Templar Knights, this show takes place 15 years after the fall of Acre. Senior templar knight Landry is disillusioned with his order’s current state of affairs. Once a brotherhood of righteous warriors who guarded the Holy Land and its pilgrims, they are now little more than advisors to the king and charitable donors. After their order’s grand master is murdered, Landry steps up and brings his brothers back to battle when word that their most sacred lost treasure, the Holy Grail, is rumoured to be in Paris. However, their mission puts the templars at odds with various religious sects, the church, and even the King of France. The series ends in a cliffhanger but it's still a show of depth, portraying an order that is looked down upon and seen through history as heretics, instead as a brotherhood of warriors of faith and convictions.<br />

The Crain family had no plans to stay at Hill House. It was just their latest fixer upper; in fact, it was supposed to be their last one. Olivia Crain told her oldest daughter Shirley that their next property would be the house they built for themselves: their forever home. Shirley later builds a model of the family home Olivia designed. The Crains never build the real thing, because their family didn't survive the summer spent in Hill House. Neither did Olivia. But the dream of a forever house is carried on by Hill House itself, twisted into a dangerous nightmare that reaches out to the Crain family survivors with open arms.<br />

In its very first episode, "Steven Sees a Ghost," Haunting reveals that two horrible things happen to the Crain family. The youngest child Nell returns to Hill House in present day and dies there, the episode ending with eldest child Steven seeing her ghost. In the past, Hugh Crain fled Hill House with his children, waking Steven from his bed in the middle of the night and telling him to keep his eyes shut. Steven didn't keep his eyes shut, though, and we see flashes of something disturbing walking quickly towards them. The other children are already out in the car, crying hysterically and calling for their mother. Steven insists that he saw their mom in the house. We find out later she wasn't supposed to be home. Hugh pauses only for a second and says that wasn't her. Steven is the only one who looks back and sees the woman standing in the upstairs window. It's a very upsetting beginning to a very unnerving story. Right away, with that first episode, we know that Hill House somehow consumed Nell and Olivia, and every flashback adds another coat of sorrowful dread as the adult Crain siblings once again face ghosts.<br />

The title of that first episode is important, because Steven appears to be the least affected of all the children. He has even written a book sensationalizing what happened to their family that kickstarted an entire series <strike>of sequel ideas</strike> on haunted places. What is gradually revealed to us is that Steven has been desperate to get answers. He has told himself that his mother was insane and that his siblings (and himself) are possibly crazy too. His last memory of Olivia, his last clear image of her, is her kissing him goodbye the day she supposedly left for Aunt Janet's. He didn't see "her" in the kitchen that night. He wasn't at the fatal tea party in the Red Room. He wasn't able to witness her fate secondhand like Theo did. Steven's only remembrance of anything unusual was Olivia lashing out and smashing the mirror. In the scene where Young Steven (Paxton Singleton) looks at the tabloids, his faith in Hugh visibly weakens. Immediately afterwards, when they are in the car, he asks his dad about losing custody of them. Hugh reassures him that won't happen, but Steven doesn't seem to believe him. Hugh does lose custody of the kids, but he lost Steven before that. It makes the later scene where Steven blurts out to his father that he decided to not have children of his own that much more painful. Michiel Huisman's performance as adult Steven mixes brisk authority with forlorn wistfulness. He is the most untouched by Hill House, which should give him an advantage in protecting his siblings if it weren't for the fact that it gives him more room for denial.<br />

This isn't a "heroes and villains" story, but Hill House is clearly the antagonist. And the protagonist of the past storyline is Olivia, and the true horror is watching how Hill House chips away at her sanity, poisoning her, and twisting her love for her family into something insidious. The only thing more horrible for a loving parent than not being able to protect their child is being the one to hurt them. Olivia's sensitivities make her more vulnerable to attack, but it's also implied that the House especially hates her for standing between the House and her children. Every action she takes to comfort her children or boost their courage seems to anger the House even more than Hugh attempting to fix its blemishes. Hill House is a living character, with beauties and terrors and quirks and secrets. It's deceitful, but sometimes it provides security. And it molds Olivia into its own image. It would take several paragraphs to properly break down Carla Gugino's powerful, intricate performance.<br />

<br />
One scene in particular that I couldn't shake was in episode two when Olivia sits down with Shirley, helping her deal with the death of the kittens. A truly gruesome and heartbreaking bit of foreshadowing by the way. When Shirley asks about the surviving kitten, Olivia lies and says they found it a new home. Shirley sees though the lie right away, and Olivia falls apart, first trying to reinforce the lie then becoming defensive then angry. Then the migraine strikes. But it's not the same as the ones we're told Olivia usually has. In that scene with Shirley, we see Olivia's confidence flake away, just a bit at first, then all of a sudden it's all gone and she's in pain. It's only a couple minutes, but it's more foreshadowing.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Death is a mood in Hill House, even without the ghosts that are sprinkled into the background for your subconscious to file away for future nightmares. Almost every inch of the house that isn't dark wood or a crusty statue screams funeral home carpet, with the kitchen being the main exception. Shirley runs her own funeral home as an adult, living near the property with her husband and two children. Her sister Theo lives in the guest house. "Fear and guilt are sisters," or so the quote goes. And Shirley is the latter sister. Elizabeth Reaser, who plays grown Shirley, is a marvel and perfectly cast. It's impossible to watch her and not see both Lulu Wilson (who plays her young counterpart) and Carla Gugino. Shirley strongly resents that Steven wrote a book about what happened to their family. She is calmly constantly unhappy and determined to put things in order. Like her father, Shirley's confidence comes from fixing things. When something is broken because of her actions, it gnaws at Shirley, and we learn very gradually what her biggest regret is. And it's not directly tied to her childhood. More than anyone else in the family, Shirley wants to pretend that the events at Hill House didn't unfold the way she remembers. She comes across as overly critical and uncaring at times, but Reaser always reminds us of the pain she carries. It's there just under her skin. Shirley hasn't buried her family tragedies out of sight; she's wrapped herself in them. She's the strongest of the Crains, which makes it very effective when something happens that does scare her. The funeral home spooking is perhaps the most suspenseful scene of the season. And that epilogue moment where Shirley confesses to her husband and tells him "I'm going to ask you to love me hard for the next few minutes, and it might be the hardest you've ever had to love me" is so beautiful it hurts.</div>

If Shirley's kryptonite is guilt, Theodora's is fear. But maybe no one has more just cause to be afraid than Theo. Her story is also the most uneven, which is a pity because she's a fascinating character. </div>

Young Theo, played by McKenna Grace, discovers that she has special abilities. By touching things and people, she sees and feels things, such is what they are thinking, what happened to them, what they are hiding, etc. In one startling moment, Theo touches her mother's hand and sees an image of her disfigured with half her head smashed in. (We're not shown a close-up of Olivia after Hugh finds her body, but in Theo's vision she's wearing the same bathrobe/nightgown she dies in.) Theo also knows what really happened that night, because Hugh grabbed her arm as they were fleeing the house. Her present day story, however, focuses on her sometimes tense relationship with Shirley, which to be sure results in some electric scenes. Her career field allows her to help children process their own trauma and shows us how empathetic and strong Theo is. Kate Siegel is luminescent in this role. You feel every spark of Theo's courage, even as she carries immense burdens. But her relationships to her other siblings, besides Shirley, weren't explored. And her revelation that she chose to stay with Shirley so her older sister wouldn't be alone could have used some backstory. There were no flashbacks to the younger in-between years, such as what life was like at Aunt Janet's, and those might have helped to better flesh out the siblings' present day relationships. That being said, if The Haunting of Hill House gets some sort of sequel exploring a different set of haunted places and people, Theo is most certainly a character it would be wonderful to see more of.<br />

Nell and Luke, the twins, are at the epicenter of everything that happens. Two more adorable children have never existed. We immediately feel protective and proud of them.

<div style="text-align: left;">
Luke has a boundless supply of love to give. He wants to protect Nell. He wants to befriend the shy little girl in the woods. He wants his big brother to play with him. Julian Hilliard is a very talented actor. His wonder is so vivid, as is his fear. In the dumbwaiter scene, I started yelling for them to save him. And Violet McCraw as Little Nell! It's almost too traumatizing to discuss, but some part of Little Nell recognizes the Bent-Neck Lady. There is a constant shadow over her demeanor, a sadness that never ever lifts, and even before we know the exact truth....even before we know Nell has died, it's impossible to think that Little Nell is going to be okay. Victoria Pedretti and Oliver Jackson-Cohen take over playing the twins as adults. Neither twin is able to shake Hill House, with Nell stricken with sleep paralysis over and over and Luke becoming an addict. Their bond isn't broken by Nell's death. The way Luke grows cold as her body across the country grows cold is devastating. And it is Nell's ghost that resists the House and pushes Luke back to life. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I often wondered watching the show if there were complications with Nell and Luke's birth. Olivia was especially worried for them and carried their pictures in her locket and no one else's. It's a very common thread in movies and TV that characters who try to prevent something awful end up causing it. But that didn't make the moment Olivia kills Nell any less agonizing and awful. (The way Carla Gugino transformed in that scene!) Pedretti smoothly incorporates McCraw's expressions into her own performance. And her scene in the finale when Nell talks to her siblings and reveals the truth about the Red Room is so poignant. She's not haunted anymore, and there are no more scary moments in the house after that conversation.</div>

The reunion of the Crain siblings at the end of the season comes in a hopeful montage. It's so hopeful that some horror fans might feel underwhelmed. Steve commits to rebuilding his marriage and starting a family. Shirley comes clean about her infidelity. And Theo moves out, discarding her gloves, to live with her girlfriend. Luke celebrates his second year of sobriety with his family. After the heartbreak and anger and terrors they have endured, this "happy ending" for the siblings has been earned. It's easy watching that montage to forget the horrors. That Olivia was driven mad and accidentally murdered an innocent little girl, that she ran after her family and threw herself to her death because she thought the whole thing was a bad dream, that she died alone and afraid and that losing her children was her last memory. That the Dudleys must remain at the house forever, in this life and the next, in order to be with the ghosts of their children. And that Hugh kills himself to set his surviving children free, after living for years with nothing but his own grief and guilt to keep him company. After all of that, they've earned some birthday cake. And so have we!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Mike Flanagan is a genius in this genre, and the way he builds the suspense and slowly unveils the scares makes this the perfect show to watch alone in the dark, if you want to die of fright. But he doesn't shy away from constructing well-rounded characters that you can love. There is a lack of emotional manipulation here. He said that having characters the audience could care about was the most important part, because it would make us more afraid for them. He succeeded on both counts. And the cinematography, especially in "Two Storms," just reaches out and grabs your eyeballs. The season finale focuses on the characters, as the only mysteries left are their fates, instead of the scares. But the Crain sibings and the audience aren't about to sweep any part of it under the rug. The ghosts that haunt every episode, sometimes lingering in the smallest corner shadow, gather en masse to watch the surviving Crains leave for the last time. Steve might not look back at the ghosts when he leaves Hill House, but he and we will always know they are there. </div>

<br />
This Tuesday, July 16 at 11:30am ET/8:30 am PT, the nominations for the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards will be announced ahead of the ceremony on Sunday, September 22, broadcast on FOX. Ahead of Tuesday's announcement, which you'll be able to follow here on SpoilerTV, I put it to our team to give their nominations for who they'd like to see shortlisted. <br />
<br />
It's important to note that these are not predictions; many of these will likely not make the official list. These are the nominations that the team would make if they were a voting member of the Academy. As such, they had to adhere exactly to <a href="http://www.emmys.com/ballots/2019">the Emmy ballots</a>, which means that only those who submitted were up for debate, and performers and programs had to be listed in the category that they were on in the ballots. <br />
<br />
A number of categories had ties that exceeded the usual number of nominees in that particular category. To ensure our list is as workable as possible, I followed rules 5a-5d under the Primetime Rules and Procedures' Nominations Procedures. As a result, some categories exceed the number you would expect, and some are slightly lower — but the somewhat unusual numbers of nominations you see below proved the only way to avoid categories having in excess of 10 nominees or as few as three in acting categories.<br />
<br />
Have a read through the team's collective nominations and then hit the comments with who you'd nominate, were you an Academy voter. <br />

<br />
Welcome to the third set of pitches. Today we celebrate shows H-J. Links to the previous days’ pitches can be found below. Chances are that this will be the smallest list of pitches. Why so small compared to the massive number of pitches on the previous days? It’s simply because 3 of these shows practically meet the number of characters allowed in the labels on their own: The Haunting of Hill House, How to Get Away with Murder, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. So on the night of massively titled pitches, I hope you find one or two to sample.<br />
<br />
Again, thank you to everyone who helped with the pitches. To keep the articles shorter and more readable, all pitches were edited for length, clarity, and grammar. Nominations were also limited to 3 per show with a couple very popular shows having more. I am truly sorry if your nomination is not in here. Know that I appreciate your time and pitches. Making the choice of what went in was difficult. After all sections are posted, I will include a link to the original spreadsheet so you can read them all in their unedited entirety. <br />

<b>The Handmaid’s Tale</b>: <br />
3 seasons, 36 episodes (counting this summer’s episodes)<br />
Hulu<br />
<br />
"Praise be!” That’s how you greet people in the nation of Gilead. Believe or not, with the anti-abortion movements reaching horrific heights, women’s rights eroding, and a misogynistic president sitting in the White House, the lines between current-day US and the harrowing realities of Gilead are starting to blur. “Handmaid’s” is about a country led by a religious, totalitarian regime that classifies its citizens, especially the women. Handmaids are fertile women that are forced to bear children for the leaders, known as the Commanders, the highest ranked men in Gilead. Elisabeth Moss leads the pack with a career-defining, maybe even TV-defining, performance as June Osbourne, a broken yet rebellious woman whose enslavement doesn’t eat up her strength to fight back. The rest of the cast is just as immaculate, with Ann Dowd and Yvonne Strahovski sending chills down your spine as Aunt Lydia and Serena Joy Waterford, and Alexis Bledel delivering a heartbreaking turn as Emily. The otherworldly cinematography is some of the best on TV, the score is dream-like yet downright terrifying, and the writing is absolutely superb. It’s an incredibly tough sit, but it’s such powerful television. So may the lord open this show to you! (<b>Missions</b>)<br />

<b>Hang Ups</b>:<br />
1 season, 6 episodes<br />
CBC Gem, Hulu<br />
Hang Ups is a British dramedy starring Stephen Mangan, who gives a fervent performance as Richard, the patriarch of an ever-growing family. A once thriving therapist who was forced to quit after suffering a nervous breakdown of his own, he begins an at-home practice from the comfort of his living room and uses his laptop to Skype therapy sessions with his former clients and some brand new ones. Meanwhile, everything else in his life is in shambles. His wife may or may not be getting too close to a coworker, his daughter and son are always off doing God knows what, his own therapist is constantly grilling him for information, and a patient is later revealed to be a bit more dangerous than originally thought. With quirky, absurdist humour and hilarious situations that you can watch as an escape from your own troubles, this show is remarkably short at only a 6 episode freshman season, perfect for a nice and easy binge. It does end in a series of astonishing cliffhangers, which is almost another commentary at the absurdity of life and how closure can be so difficult to come by. There's still hope for another season someday, though. (<b>LauraLoo</b>)<br />

<b>Harlots</b>:<br />
2 seasons, 16 episodes<br />
Hulu<br />
<br />
Harlots is like The Handmaid's Tale but there's way more bows on the costumes and the female characters have much more power. Actually this show has very little in common with Hulu's favorite child. Few shows can so deftly balance wit, raunch, tragedy, humor, and a killer cast with the aplomb that Harlots does. The show has wigs, fuchsia gowns, schemes, and murders. To address the powdered elephant in the bedchamber, there is also sex happening...in the background. It's the wallpaper of the show and the foundation of its characters' commerce, but it’s not gratuitous though. The characters, most of whom are women (there has never been more interesting women and talented actresses in one TV show), carve out a place in society for themselves through their pluck and backstabbing. Come for Samantha Morton, Lesley Manville, and Jessica Brown Findlay's saucy, ferocious performances and cutting one-liners. Stay for the entire array of lovable characters. You won't mind getting your hem dirty by going for a walk with this naughty, wonderful show that has plenty of thought intertwined with its sass. (<b>Ellys</b>)<br />

<b>Hart of Dixie</b>:<br />
4 seasons, 76 episodes<br />
CW Seed, Netflix<br />
<br />
Hart of Dixie chronicles the story of Dr. Zoe Hart, a promising big city doctor, who after a bout of bad luck in her career and her personal life decides to join the practice of a small town physician in the middle of nowhere Alabama. Learning some long lost secrets about herself in the process, she’s a big city Yankee girl, in a small southern town. You can only imagine the humour that ensues. This adorable “fish out of water” romantic dramedy is reminiscent of the classic WB shows of old and uses its built-in strengths to their full extent: Rachel Bilson’s disarming easy charm and effortless on-screen charisma, a zany little town with crazy but lovable locals, and some dreamy men to ogle at. The supremely talented cast, Wilson Bethel in particular, only help to elevate those elements. However it’s the show’s strong writing, with its consistent character development and cohesive narrative that really sets it apart. The way it also navigates some of the genre’s worse tropes (love triangles and will-they-won’t-they drama) simply works to its benefit. (<b>Folie-lex</b>)<br />

Hauntingly beautiful is the best way to describe this show, so much Stephen King himself called it a masterpiece. In 1992, the Crane family went through a terrifying experience at Hill House that resulted in the death of one of their own. The five Crane kids and their estranged father grew up defined by the tragedy, becoming who they are for better or worse. When another member of the family dies 26 years later, the Cranes are forced to confront their past, face their demons, and ultimately return to where it all began. Amidst the heart racing terror, this show does a superb job of blending an in-depth look into the state of the human mind and the connections and conflict created by haunted and broken individuals. Watching the Crane family come to terms with one another over the tragedy is just as interesting as the paranormal phenomenon behind it. (<b>The North Remembers</b>)<br />

When I first read up on “The Haunting of Hill House,” I thought it’d be an easy pass: another horror series plagued by unnecessary jump scares, gratuitous violence and twists that I could smell from a mile away? No, thank you. But after I saw the opening ten minutes, I realized that this was an ambitious, non-typical horror show that was going to delve into the characters it presented to us. There’s not all too much I can say about the show without spoiling major developments, but it’s one of my favorite shows of 2018. It’s a dark, exhilarating, character-driven drama, where the horror is rooted in the tragic fallout of certain events that occur at Hill House. Director (of all ten episodes) and writer Mike Flanagan is an absolute genius who does the impossible by defying all horror genre clichés. The cast is an embarrassment of riches, from leading lady Carla Gugino to all its supporting players, including arguable standouts Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel and Victoria Pedretti. There’s not much more I can say, but keep an eye out for episodes five and six, which are some of the most outlandishly good episodes of TV that I have ever seen. (<b>Missions</b>)<br />

<b>Haven</b>:<br />
5 seasons, 78 episodes<br />
Netflix<br />
<br />
Before Once Upon a Time, Haven was the original “quiet little town with a big mystery” show. Based on The Colorado Kid by Stephen King, FBI agent Audrey Parker arrives in the town of Haven for a routine assignment only to realize the secret behind the seemingly quaint town and its people. There are supernatural afflictions called Troubles that breed chaos and destruction, and these afflictions seem to have a connection to Audrey. Over time, Audrey discovers more to the town and how the place may be the key to her past and ultimately her future. Haven is a fascinating, supernatural mystery show that keeps you guessing or if you just need something of the same vein as Once. (<b>The North Remembers</b>)<br />

<b>House MD</b>: <br />
8 seasons, 176 episodes<br />
Amazon Prime<br />
<br />
I hate medical dramas, not because of the genre but because everything I have seen since this show paled in comparison. None of the doctors were as memorable or compelling as Gregory House, a medical genius who lacks a good bedside manner. He will figure out what ails a patient and how to treat it but along the way he will do things that will shock and even disgust his patients and colleagues. House is a painkiller addict but a brilliant diagnostician, who hates dealing with people he feels are beneath him. To him, it’s more about the mystery illness that his patient suffers than their well being. His team originally consists of the eager Chase (Jesse Spencer), Foreman who reigns House in, the good-hearted Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) who puts patients first, and Wilson, the only friend House will ever confide in or go out of his way for. House solves the most baffling medical cases in the direst of circumstances and, despite being an all around jerk, will show rare instances of humanity. (<b>The North Remembers</b>)<br />

<b>How to Get Away with Murder</b>:<br />
5 seasons, 75 episodes<br />
Netflix, ABC<br />
<br />
When someone asks me what‘s so great about “How to Get Away With Murder,” I don’t initially know how to answer? Is it the unpredictable twists thrown at viewers left and right, the incredibly juicy dialogue, or the fully realized characters? My ultimate answer: all of that, but most of all, the performance by leading lady Viola Davis, who plays Annalise Keating, a brilliant lawyer who buries her struggles under the mask she wears every single day. “Murder” is a show that didn’t have a great trailer and didn’t initially spark my interest; I didn’t need another show about college students and their sex lives. Thankfully though, “Murder” wasn’t that show at all. If you’re looking for something that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat and your eyes glued to the screen, this is the perfect show. It incorporates a murder mystery, crime thriller, and character drama into one fabric. I promise you won’t be able to smell the twists from a mile away, but what arguably stands out most is how daring this show can be, whether it’s a woman going to bed without makeup or a gay couple front and center.

<b>In Plain Sight</b>:<br />
5 seasons, 61 episodes<br />
Amazon Prime<br />
<br />
Another of USA Network’s earlier lighthearted shows is part dramedy and part mystery of the week. Mary Shannon is a sassy, prickly, take no crap US Marshal, who helps deal with the people in witness protection from court witnesses to criminals. Mary helps them get situated in their new lives, while protecting them from the many who want them dead. In addition, she also has to contend with her overbearing, recovering alcoholic mother and her equally problematic sister, who constantly drag Mary into their issues that are more trouble than they’re worth. Mary perseveres, knowing she’ll be able to get through it with the support of her partner and confidant Marshal Marshall (yes, a US Marshal named Marshall). With cheeky humor and probably the best platonic TV relationship I have ever seen, this show is a must watch. (<b>The North Remembers</b>)<br />

<b>The InBetween</b>:<br />
1 season, 10 episodes (counting this summer’s episodes)<br />
NBC, Hulu<br />
<br />
Creepy yet heartfelt, this supernatural crime drama can go from making your blood run cold to making you feel sentimental in an instant. Cassie Bedford is a psychic medium who can see and talk to the spirits of people trapped in the InBeween, a veil between the living world and the next. She helps the dead find closure or at least justice, being their voice and confidant. In addition to those already gone, Cassie also helps those who can be saved, using her gift to assist her supportive police detective father (Arrow’s Paul Blackthone). Unlike The Ghost Whisperer, the show also has dark elements. In addition to victims, Cassie is also haunted by more unscrupulous spirits like that of an executed murderer who helps her understand her powers more in exchange for her help in moving on.

<b>Instinct</b>:<br />
2 seasons, 26 episodes (counting this summer’s episodes)<br />
CBS All Access <br />
<br />
CBS decided to do the unthinkable last year: team up with Alan Cumming, the legend, to create the first gay male lead on a network drama. They also, unprecedentedly, renewed it for a second season despite dismal ratings. Indeed, all other broadcast networks should hang their hats in shame. But is it actually good? The short answer is that it's so bad that it's good. It's a magnificently dumb show. It basically has two pilots. It has a bunch of cookie-cutter character development. Dylan rides a motorcycle. He's writing a book and his publicist is Whoopi Goldberg. But Dylan and Andy's relationship? That's your real reason to watch. Their marriage is so refreshing. It's a pre-established relationship that cleverly and thankfully means that they avoid having to have enervating coming out scenes and that awful will-they-won't-they trope between the main male and female leads that cannot die out soon enough. Their chemistry is so well realized and adorable. There was even a regular procedural episode at one point that was wall-to-wall intersectional and inspiring. I would recommend to watch the show, and call it what it is: a guilty pleasure with immense potential to be even more someday. (<b>LauraLoo</b>)<br />
<br />
To be honest, I never watch a show because of inclusion or representation. I either like a show or I don’t. It either sparks my interest or it doesn’t. I do love how Instinct nullifies stale shipping tropes, and I agree that scenes with Dylan and Andy are a highlight, but mainly because Andy makes Dylan less obnoxious. For me, the secondary characters - Julian, Andy, and Lou - are way better than the mains. I also agree that the first season had rough spots, but I would never call the show “dumb.” There are too many annoying filler scenes trying to make Dylan a hip Sherlock, but the cases are interesting, the secondary characters are fun, and there are some serialized elements. Instinct feels like a cross between Perception and Elementary, not bad for a summer show. It even has some good character growth in the lead female, Lizzie. Basically, if you like procedurals with some serial elements, chances are that you will like this gap show too. (<b>Dahne</b>)<br />

<b>It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia</b>: <br />
13 seasons, 143 episodes<br />
Hulu<br />
<br />
Name me 10 shows set to air their 14th season that are still capable of producing content that is on par with the absolute best they are capable of. Then throw Sunny at the top of that dwindling list. Yes, it's true, Sunny is not for the faint of heart. This is a show about the most deplorable people. They say disgusting things, do disgusting things, and they are disgusting people. If that's a problem for you, then it may not be the show for you. If you can stomach these things, then there's a lot to love. Not to say it's all bad. It has one of the best coming out stories of all time, and some of the best acted work from a comedy is on display. I would truly call Sunny the king of comedy; it's the longest running sitcom that FX has ever aired. It's also one of the most quotable media on the planet. It's a really easy binge once you start; the seasons just start flying by. I promise, if you can look the other way on some vulgarity, like Arrested Development, Archer, South Park, etc., it's some of the most fantastic TV out there. (<b>LauraLoo</b>)<br />

<b>iZombie</b>:<br />
5 seasons, 61 episodes (counting this summer’s episodes)<br />
CW Seed, Netflix<br />
<br />
iZombie is a new take on the zombie genre that is fast-paced, quirky, and just all around fun. Liv Moore is scratched and turns into a brain-craving zombie the night of a yacht party. Now working as an ME for the police, Liv discovers that she has the ability to gain the memories, personality, and skills of the deceased person whose brain she eats, allowing her to help solve their murders. Working alongside her is her eccentric boss Ravi and Detective Clive Babineaux. Liv tries to keep her secret from her roommate, Peyton, and her ex-fiancée, Major. As the series progresses, Liv learns there are others like her and that not all of them are as friendly as she is. Also, the accident that turned her into a zombie may not have been an accident after all. (<b>The North Remembers</b>)<br />

<b>John Doe</b>: <br />
1 season, 22 episodes<br />
YouTube (pilot), maybe Hulu<br />
<br />
The intro blurb from Wikipedia describes the premise of this show so neatly. “I woke up in an island off the coast of Seattle. I didn't know how I got there...or who I was. But I did seem to know everything else. There were things about me I didn't understand ... the brand, being colorblind, extreme claustrophobia. And while my gifts provided answers for others, I still search for my own. My name is John Doe.” Each week John would receive a clue to his identity, usually in the form of an item or person that appeared to him in full color. It was a great effect that always made me play closer attention when each episode started. When John wasn’t pulling at those threads, he would use his special knowledge to help the police solve crimes that ranged from theft to murder. The key to the success of this show was Dominic Purcell’s portrayal of John Doe. He had chemistry with everyone he shared the screen with. If you enjoy cop shows and intriguing mysteries, I strongly recommend this show. Be warned though, it was canceled in the middle of a cliffhanger. (<b>Prpleight</b>)<br />

<b>11. THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, Episode: "The Bent-Neck Lady", The Scene: Nell is revealed to be the Bent-Neck lady</b><br />
<b>Missions:</b> "The Haunting of Hill House" is one of the best TV shows of the year and featured many shocking reveals. But not a single one was able to top the reveal of Nell being the Bent-Neck Lady all along, in the show's fifth episode. The entire episode is a character study, shining a light on Nell's tragic life and how she met her maker. The reveal was truly terrifying, heartbreaking yet brilliant at the same time. It has set a new benchmark for any horror show on television. Victoria Pedretti is revelatory and worth recognition. <br />
<b>Omgluciferlover:</b> Disturbing but an epic reveal moment which caught me off guard! <br />
<br />

<b>10. THE AMERICANS, Episode: "START", The Scene: Stan confronts the Jennings in the parking garage</b><br />
<b>Paola Andrade:</b> Six years in the making and the scene didn’t disappoint. And not only did it not disappoint, it hit all the right notes. The creators have said this scene took them the longest, and they kept going back to it and working the details, it shows. It’s about 11 minutes long and it’s all silent, no music, no score, just characters talking. And it’s so tense! I felt my face inching ever closer to the screen. Stan confronts the Jennings, he already knows the truth, but he needs to hear it, and when Philip admits he is a KGB agent, it generates all these emotions, excitement, dread, relief, anxiety, sadness. To see that each sentence spoken by the characters from that moment on takes on five different meanings, that they are trying to get out of the situation, but manipulate Stan still, while trying to be genuine. It’s a masterpiece. And Matthew Rhys earned his Emmy right there. It’s my favorite scene of the year.<br />
<b>Lou:</b> This was a moment 6 seasons in the making and it did not disappoint at all as Stan finally confronts the truth about his neighbours and best friends. It was heartbreaking, the outcome unexpected and the entire scene filled with unbearable tension.<br />
<br />

<b>9. ONCE UPON A TIME, Episode: "Leaving Storybrooke", The Scene: Regina becomes The Good Queen</b><br />
<b>James:</b> After seven seasons, Regina's redemption comes full circle as she finally sheds her mantle as The Evil Queen for good (excuse the pun) and becomes The Good Queen. Rumple got his redemption as well, but Regina's felt much more natural, less rushed, and far more compelling. The end of a journey seven years in the making.<br />
<b>Lord Nikon: </b>Regina after defeating evil Rumpelstiltskin and looking out the window is met by her two sons, Adult Henry and Wish Realm Henry, and tells them that she has one final curse to create. She explains that this time it is not a curse in the traditional sense, and so she explains that if everybody just dropped something they love in the curse she can connect all of the magic realms and to bring them in one place. After the curse is made we jump in time and are greeted by a magic land in our world, then we see a car speed toward a castle in which we find Zelena and Regina talking about a surprise and Zelena doesn't tell her what it is. After entering the palace she is greeted again by her two sons and Zelena poofs herself into the hall. Then Regina enters and is greeted by the whole kingdom waiting for her. Including Snow, Charming and Neal in an arch. Regina asks what is going on here and they explain to her that everybody voted for her to be The Good Queen after what she did for everybody. After that the ceremony follows and goes to Regina being made The Good Queen.<br />

<b>8. BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, Episode: "The Box", The Scene: Jake tricks the suspect into confessing to his crime</b><br />
<b>LauraLoo77:</b> From hilarious callbacks like Jake's annoying guitar strumming, to just how much he wants to impress Holt, this episode of B99 had it all. It's a full circle moment, too, as when Sterling K Brown won his Emmy for This is Us, he made sure to thank Andre Braugher and acknowledge his win for Homicide: Life on the Streets. And when it was revealed that B99 would *finally* pay homage to this great show, and arguably its greatest outing, "Three Men and Adena", who else could you have to portray the criminal of the episode? It's easily the most well edited episode of the entire show, with perfect smash cuts and slick camera work. The dialogue works so well here, too, because in the best moment of the episode, when Jake monologues to get Philip to confess, it's what was subtlety mentioned earlier on in the outing that was Philip's undoing at the end. Obviously the acting being sublime doesn't need to be mentioned, but I think we all need to recognize this episode as a legendary piece of media in our time. Just think about it. When are we ever going to get something like this again?<br />
<b>Noor:</b> The suspect Philip Davidson (Sterling K. Brown) confesses just to prove he's not an idiot, it was a brilliant way to end the episode after Philip had the upper hand all along he was brought down by his own ego, Sterling killed it! <br />
<br />

<b>7. THE AMERICANS, Episode: "START", The Scene: Paige gets off the train and stays behind</b><br />
<b>Saloni Gajjar:</b> The entire series finale of The Americans was perfection but this moment, in particular, is such a standout. It was an unexpected and emotional turn of events in the life of the Jennings. The scene was elevated by the excellent performance of Keri Russell. <br />
<b>Ivana Cvetanovic:</b> Shocking and heartbreaking moment when Philip and Elizabeth realize that they have lost both their children - as Paige decides to stay in the USA and not go with her parents to USSR. Perfect use of "With or Without You" by U2.<br />
<b>Rainee Toneme: </b>The scene is devastating. Paige wanted to be like her parents, but eventually chose to live her own life. She couldn't leave Henry to fend for himself. Phil rushing to Elizabeth's side, risking their cover, says how much he loves her. He knew she would be heartbroken, and needed him by her side. They made it out alive, but it cost them their children, their friends and their home. <br />
<br />

<b>6. SHARP OBJECTS, Episode: "Milk", The Scene: The reveal that Amma is the killer</b><br />
<b>Missions:</b> "Don't tell mama" is THE most memorable TV line of 2018. Just when we thought the mystery surrounding Wind Gap's infamous killer had been solved with Adora (Patricia Clarkson) in jail, Camille (Amy Adams) learns that Amma, her little sister, is the one guilty of the charge. She finds the dead girls’ teeth arranged as floor tiles in Amma’s dollhouse, to which Amma responds, “Don’t tell mama.” Adams and Eliza Scanlen are both terrific in this scene, expressing each and every emotion with their eyes and facial expressions. In a post-credit scene we then get a glimpse of Amma committing the murders - a horrific image that is now etched into my brain. <br />
<b>Watercoolertv:</b> It was shocking and unsettling.<br />
<br />

<b>5. BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, Episode: "Jake & Amy", The Scene: Amy and Jake get married</b><br />
<b>Ivan:</b> This moment was a long time coming. Jake and Amy are one of the healthiest couples in television and to see them get married felt like a reward to their fans.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hh7_6bBoUfQ/XCqOvGI552I/AAAAAAAAL7M/NFt2pfvnBsgI8m8JGBpRz7eDdv7UQ9TugCLcBGAs/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hh7_6bBoUfQ/XCqOvGI552I/AAAAAAAAL7M/NFt2pfvnBsgI8m8JGBpRz7eDdv7UQ9TugCLcBGAs/s1600/4.jpg" data-original-width="726" data-original-height="240" /></a><br />
<b>4. AGENTS OF SHIELD, Episode: "The Real Deal", The Scene: Fitz-Simmons wedding </b><br />
<b>Laura:</b> Fans waited many years for this and when it happened it was the sweetest thing we could have ever asked for.<br />
<b>ClassicWaffle: </b>Fitz and Jemma getting married was 5 seasons in the making and the best wedding I've seen - plus the Deke reveal was awesome!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8oVwQeYcZzo/XCqOy-JIc7I/AAAAAAAAL7U/L1AZgqqUfjAzLS9QZoLuv09_9QbnINq3ACLcBGAs/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8oVwQeYcZzo/XCqOy-JIc7I/AAAAAAAAL7U/L1AZgqqUfjAzLS9QZoLuv09_9QbnINq3ACLcBGAs/s1600/3.jpg" data-original-width="726" data-original-height="240" /></a><br />
<b>3. THE 100, Episode: "Damocles – Part Two", The Scene: The ending</b><br />
<b>Ivana Cvetanovic:</b> Monty and Harper died, but they got maybe the happiest ending anyone is likely to get on the show. And after 5 seasons of constant wars, killing, pain and fight for survival, Monty provided his friends (and the small remaining number of the human race) with a new beginning, giving them a message of hope beyond the grave - not just to survive, but to be good guys and be happy.<br />
<b>LukeGllr:</b> At the end of the season 5 finale, we are told that we have arrived at a new planet by Monty and Harper, who have sadly died, but got to live a long life of peace. The season ends with a shot of this new planet, which was definitely one of the greatest reveals and TV moments of 2018.<br />
<br />

<b>2. AGENTS OF SHIELD, Episode: "The Devil Complex", The Scene: Fitz reveal</b><br />
<b>Noor:</b> It is revealed that the Doctor is not a fear dimension creature, but rather Fitz having a mental breakdown. When you watch AoS for all those years you swear they won't catch you off guard again, but they did! It was shocking, heartbreaking, foreshadowed subtly so it's not out of nowhere, acted to perfection by Iain, and served to take the season in a new exciting direction.<br />
<b>Ivan:</b> This moment is one of the 2018's most mind-shattering moments. Fitz had been under so much pressure the past few weeks, but it never seemed like he was near this break. The show didn't forget that Fitz suffered a massive brain damage and to have it revealed he had been hearing Leopold for longer than we thought made this reveal all the more heartbreaking and made us look at the season in a different way. It was extremely hard to watch but so rewarding to see Iain De Caestecker with his Emmy worthy performance. <br />
<b>Chloe Curnow:</b> That moment of realisation for him while Jemma watches heartbroken was one of the most gut-wrenching moments of the entire season, not least because Fitz is one of the most loved characters on the show. And that's not even mentioning the phenomenal acting as De Caestecker shifts between Fitz and the Doctor.<br />
<br />

<b>1. LUCIFER, Episode: "A Devil of My Word", The Scene: Chloe sees Lucifer’s devil face</b><br />
<b>Lord Nikon:</b> Lucifer found out where Cain is and goes to fight him, but he is surprised by Chloe who followed him and joins him to confront Cain. While everything goes alright all of a sudden Chloe is shot and Lucifer picks her up, takes out his wings and decides to use them as shield which works and teleports Chloe to the roof. After that Lucifer returns and just dismantles Cain and his followers and is finally able to go after Cain. Eventually he changes to his devil face just when he stabs Cain in the chest killing him. Right at that moment Chloe is behind him and finally sees Lucifer's true face and finally believes him, that he is the devil. <br />
<b>Alfagirl:</b> Lucifer fights Pierce/Cain, gets his devil face back, turns around, reveals it to Chloe, and Chloe says, "It's all true".<br />
<b>Kay:</b> Such a badass scene and a shocking cliffhanger. <br />
<br />

<br />
Hello everyone! Welcome to this week's special holiday edition of the SpoilerTV Weekly Round Table where Ellys Cartin (EC), Cecile, Katherine Meusey, Jamie Coudeville, Mads, Max Conte, Laura B, Zoé Fleury, Joey Hedrick, Giulia Del Buono, Donna Cromeans, Claire Serowinski, and Beth Whitley discuss which networks are on their naughty and nice lists, the best presents they've gotten this year, made-for-television holiday movies and the diversity (or lack of) in them. Please enjoy this discussion and feel free to add your own thoughts in the comment section below.<br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">With the plethora of renewals and cancellations we’ve faced so far, what networks and streaming services made it on your naughty or nice list this year and why?</div></div><br />
<b>Ellys</b>: Netflix had some very naughty moments when they cancelled Daredevil and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. But it's hard to lump them in the negative column with all the amazing stuff they have going on. On the Nice side, they dropped my favorite show of the year The Haunting of Hill House. But then again, aren't they naughty for making too much interesting stuff at once? Won't some of their good shows crowd some of their other good shows out and result in them being prematurely cancelled because we haven't made it through our own Netflix lists?! Or is it just time for me to recognize that Netflix is like Planet Earth? I will probably never travel to every fascinating spot on it, and it's useless to try?!<br />
<br />
I think we can all agree that CBS has been very, very bad. Less than a handful of good shows (Mom is still amazing) doesn't make up for everything else being blah or the toxicity that is oozing around so many of their other shows.<br />
<br />
I do want to send Hulu a big bouquet of poinsettias for renewing Harlots.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l3m263ZZuYM/XB0YWzOd7OI/AAAAAAAACqA/OGvjVURIzPcPGN99jrh9GrnZ3r6zSbRKgCLcBGAs/s1600/HOHH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l3m263ZZuYM/XB0YWzOd7OI/AAAAAAAACqA/OGvjVURIzPcPGN99jrh9GrnZ3r6zSbRKgCLcBGAs/s320/HOHH.jpg" width="320" /></a><b>Cecile</b>: I've been lucky this year in that barely any of the shows I cared about got cancelled. That said, I did NOT care for Netflix putting an end to American Vandal. It's such a unique show, and it's the only one that feels realistic when it comes to representing high school on TV. I was hoping another network would pick it up but it doesn't look likely.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie</b>: Fox and Netflix are on my naughty list. Fox canceled a lot of my shows. Luckily some got picked up again (but that wasn't because of them so they get no credit). As for Netflix, I still haven't forgiven them for cancelling Sense8 during Pride but that wasn't this year (though the finale did bring back some resentment towards them for that) but it's their brutal cancellations of the Marvel shows that has pissed me off this year. Mostly because it's probably due to their feud with Disney, which the fans shouldn't get punished for.<br />
<br />
<b>Mads</b>: The CW always makes my nice list because they renew everything. I don’t think many of my favorites have been cancelled this year though that I can think of. Fox is probably the one on my naughty list due to the B99 and Lucifer cancellations.<br />
<br />
<b>Max</b>: I haven’t really lost any shows that I love this year (which is odd, considering I watch so much damn TV) so I can’t say I’m particularly annoyed with any network or streamer on that front. It’s maybe a bit off topic, but one of the weirdest moves of the year, to me, just happened: ABC separating Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 until March. Station 19 is their #3 drama and, in a last-ditch effort to save A Million Little Things, they’re basically throwing S19 under the bus. Not only will it throw off the timeline of storylines taking place on both shows (the storm, Bailey and Ben’s marriage, etc.) but it’s also going to keep S19 off the air for over 3 months, totally killing its momentum. It seems like a strange move to sabotage one of the few dramas that is actually working at the moment. For that, I’d throw ABC on my naughty kiss.<br />
<br />
<b>Laura B</b>: Netflix has kind of gone back and forth with my Holiday sugar rush. One one hand they have added some really great shows like Haunting of Hill House & The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, while also saving Lucifer. On the other hand they have been picking up so many other shows to develop that I can't keep track and I fear for quality control, especially now that Netflix seems more than ok with canceling some of their niche shows. Daredevil too came as a surprise, but I do suspect that has to do with Disney wanting to launch their streaming service and now that they also have X-Men property back, can also relaunch or massively expand their whole marvel MCU! Speaking of Disney+ that too seems to be a mixed blessing. Looking forward to some of the Star Wars projects and maybe Lady and the Tramp, but so far it remains to be how well they do here. The Madalorain in particular surely has my interest, but not sure what they are thinking with the pre-Rogue One series, unless they pick up a lot of Solo characters and/or more unique/diverse new characters, but so far I'm not that intrigued. I guess you can say I'm on the fence.<br />
<br />
<b>Zoé</b>: Fox is on my naughty list for all those cancellations. I keep going back and forth with NBC...they may have brought back Brooklyn Nine Nine, but they also cancelled Timeless (again). As for streaming services, I am rather happy with Netflix. A lot of people are angry at them over the cancellation of all those Marvel shows, but I can't blame them. Netflix wasn't the one who wanted to cancel the shows, Disney was. It's all because of Disney+. Yet, I can't say Disney+ is on my naughty list because of all those delicious new Marvel movies.<br />

</div><b>Joey</b>: Netflix is at the very top of my naughty list. Or is it bottom? Whichever position says that they're the worst. Iron Fist I understood and begrudgingly accepted. Luke Cage hurt me pretty good, but I was beginning to accept it. AND THEN DAREDEVIL. How dare they! Not pleased at all. They should have fought Disney + harder! Or at least publicly put the blame on them, because we all know whose fault this is. NBC is on my nice list, though, because Brooklyn Nine-Nine.<br />
<br />
<b>Giulia</b>: I think I will never get over AMC cancelling "Dietland". It was sharp. funny, timely, the cast and the storylines were absolutely amazing. I'm sad I'm never going to see Julianna Margulies as Kitty Montgomery, she became an iconic character right away. But I have to be honest, I'm glad it put the spotlight on Joy Nash, a true revelation.<br />
<br />
<b>Claire</b>: I was especially disappointed in ABC for not following through on The Middle spin-off Sue Sue In The City. I felt that it looked and sounded promising. I liked the premise of Sue facing life on her own, without Sean or her family, after college. And the casting seemed on-point with plenty of diversity. They were also bringing back Sue’s bestie, Brad. I hope this pilot gets picked up somewhere else.<br />
<br />
<b>Beth</b>: Netflix is most certainly on my naughty list for cancelling Daredevil. It is just insane to me that it happened and then they paid a huge amount to keep FRIENDS on their platform which added salt to the wound. They couldn't even give the show that helped buoy them into a more popular place for original content a final season! Yes, I know Disney played a part in this, but still, the show should have gotten a farewell season. On my nice list is NBC for saving Brooklyn 99 and treating it like the gem it is. They've promoted the heck out of it and it seems they are overjoyed to have it there.<br />
<br />
<b>Donna</b>: The CW had been on my nice list, up until the airing of their weak and poorly written Elseworlds crossover wherein they acted as most fans of one of the shows predicted they would. What the network and specifically the producers and writers of Supergirl did right was a refocus that currently has the show enjoying what is easily their strongest season in terms of story-telling and character development.<br />
<br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">What is the best present the TV gods have bestowed upon you this year?</div></div><br />
<b>Ellys</b>: So I already mentioned that Harlots renewal......mwah mwah!!! Also, Killing Eve and Trial and Error and The Haunting of Hill House and Katie delivering Vivian's baby at a children's Halloween party on American Housewife! Also, solid YA like Siren and Elite.<br />
<br />

I didn't like Gone Girl (book or movie) so I wasn't sure what to expect from Sharp Objects but it was incredible. I was always going to watch Killing Eve because of Sandra Oh and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (and Jodie Comer too, really, she was great in My Mad Fat Diary), but it turned out so much more addictive than I'd expected. Also (finally!) the third season of Lovesick.<br />
<br />
<b>Katherine</b>: The Haunting of Hill House. I love a good scary tale, and this one delivers. It strays quite a bit from the book but was a great story in an of itself. Also, Sabrina, although I'd prefer a bit more magic. Thow in Killing Eve and we have a pretty decent haul.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie</b>: Well, when it comes to shows I'd have to go with Killing Eve and the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. But the best gift this year was the double renewal for Agents of Shield. Thank you ABC.<br />
<br />
<b>Mads</b>: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Haunting of Hill House.<br />
<br />
<b>Max</b>: So much content! A lot of my favourite shows this year were new additions in 2018: Killing Eve, Bodyguard, Barry, Pose. Plus, continuing it’s streak from the back-half of 2017, Grey’s had some of the strongest episodes of it’s entire run in early 2018 (“Personal Jesus”, “One Day Like This”). Also, my favourite guilty pleasure returned this year, and I'm not afraid to admit it. Jersey Shore: Family Vacation was appointment TV viewing for me!<br />
<br />
<b>Laura B</b>: Sharp Objects was definitely one of the best things to come out this past year, but I also thoroughly enjoyed Star Trek: Discovery, Haunting of Hill House, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Castle Rock as some really wonderful new additions to the TV world. As for the shows already here, Westworld, The Man in the High Castle, The Americans final season, The Good Fight, Ozark, 12 Monkey's finale season, and Better Call Saul really upped their games or ended pretty well. It's a been a great year!<br />
<br />
<b>Zoé</b>: The Timeless movie was something I didn't expect after the cancellation and it pleasantly surprised me. This show keeps getting saved miraculously, so I think that show has been blessed by the TV gods. Now to give it a season 3! Not to mention, all the shows that came back after a 2017 break.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tKOfEJyR3XY/XB0YWo32ukI/AAAAAAAACp8/Pdn9mOoPLWgLocIvX7RyT20d5DdMcoQCgCLcBGAs/s1600/AOS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tKOfEJyR3XY/XB0YWo32ukI/AAAAAAAACp8/Pdn9mOoPLWgLocIvX7RyT20d5DdMcoQCgCLcBGAs/s400/AOS.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<b>Joey</b>: The TV Gods have given a few great gifts this year. My favorite, I'd have to say, is the saving of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The Timeless movie is a close second though. Thank you, TV Gods!<br />
<br />
<b>Giulia</b>: "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina", "Pose", "Murphy Brown" and "Sorry For Your Loss."<br />
"Sabrina" turned out to be one of the best shows of the year. I've always thought that Kiernan Shipka was amazing. Don't let me start talking about Miranda Otto, I may never stop. I stan a true Queen! I mean, that entire cast is a blessing;<br />
<br />
"Pose" had the best storylines, for me. This show has so much heart. It is so pure and we need more stories like that. I'm glad it gave the chance to appreciate Billy Porter even more and to get to know two powerhouses like MJ Rodriguez and Indya Moore;<br />
<br />
"Murphy Brown" is a much needed show right now. What can I say? I just love Candice Bergen. She is a legend;<br />
<br />
"Sorry For Your Loss" was such a pleasant surprise. The way the show deals with grief is so real and human that I related with almost everything Leigh goes through. Elizabeth Olsen is outstanding.<br />
<br />
<b>Claire</b>: The best gift was HBO’s Castlerock. I was on the edge of my seat every week; just some terrific writing and acting. And Sissy Spacek, already a favorite of mine, simply blew me away; stunning.<br />
<br />
<b>Beth</b>: The TV gods bestowed upon Mayans MC in the new show department and it completely owns me now. I knew I would watch because of SOA but I love that it is its own story and grabs me just like Sons did. Mayans also produced my favorite new character of the season, Angel Reyes! The most unexpected gift was the early renewal of Agents of Shield, now the season can be watched without any cancellation anxiety.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0ARsVKxDJro/XB0YXQ5WSLI/AAAAAAAACqI/GSSCGrIEac0Xdlq48Z5_0Rds5ttfDkxegCLcBGAs/s1600/Killing%2BEve.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1037" data-original-width="1600" height="207" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0ARsVKxDJro/XB0YXQ5WSLI/AAAAAAAACqI/GSSCGrIEac0Xdlq48Z5_0Rds5ttfDkxegCLcBGAs/s320/Killing%2BEve.jpg" width="320" /></a><b>Donna</b>: The TV gods have given me several presents this season, first is the return of focus of Supergirl to its core strength, the Danvers Sisters and the solidification of another strong pillar of the show the “Space Family” of Kara, Alex and J’onn. In doing this they’ve given the shows strongest performers Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh and David Harewood the opportunity to shine with the solid promise of more to come.<br />
<br />
My second gift was the mesmerizing Killing Eve, which grabbed me from the start and kept me enthralled. The show featured brilliant writing, a story filled with twists that surprised at every turn and award-worthy performances from Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer. The upcoming second season is sure to be just as compelling.<br />
<br />
A third gift came in the form of the long-awaited debut of the first female Doctor Who. Jodie Whitaker has more than lived up to the challenge of being the first woman Doctor and quickly made the role her own.<br />
<br />
A last but not least, NBC has given me the gift of New Amsterdam and introduced me to this great character played by Ryan Eggold and a stellar cast with heart touching stories.<br />
<br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">Made-for-television and made-for-streaming holiday movies seem to be more popular this year than ever before, especially with Netflix joining in on the trend. Are you a fan of them or not?</div></div><br />
<b>Ellys</b>: This time of year I always watch a few more TV movies than usual. Year round, I just don't watch movies on streaming for the most part. I have started several but I haven't finished a single one, not on Hulu or HBO or Amazon or Netflix....it's odd but they just don't hold my attention....I can watch 2 episodes in a row of a TV show but not one movie the same length. Can't really explain it, but I think that I'm more likely to watch movies in theaters to get the whole experience. I'd rather invest my time in longer stories and characters which I will spend longer with. Movies are like really short TV shows. It's hard to get invested, so I watch more for the spectacle. Speaking to holiday TV movies, I've always loved Hallmark movies but they always make just a few actually good ones each year. They number of good ones hasn't gone up, even though they make more overall. Their original TV shows are much stronger.<br />
<br />
<b>Cecile</b>: It seems like a good idea in theory, if the quality is there. But I rarely if ever watch made-for-TV/streaming holiday-themed movies, because most of the time, they're just not good. I do like the idea of holiday specials that some shows are launching though, like Sabrina or Schitt's Creek. It makes the wait till the upcoming season a little shorter.<br />
<br />
<b>Katherine</b>: Not a fan of Christmas made-for-tv movies, although I used to be. Now they just seem the same ION/Hallmark story with different people and sets thrown in. If there's going to be a holiday movie, I'd rather it be about a particular as opposed to a one-off, as I've never seen one that I like.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-chZKaXL9aQc/XB0YXbGcRgI/AAAAAAAACqE/r4_A8RxlmY8VFyxanLEUkJ07jCcm_5SwACLcBGAs/s1600/timeless.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-chZKaXL9aQc/XB0YXbGcRgI/AAAAAAAACqE/r4_A8RxlmY8VFyxanLEUkJ07jCcm_5SwACLcBGAs/s320/timeless.jpg" width="320" /></a><b>Jamie</b>: Nope, not a fan. They're all the same with their white, straight boring plots. Plus, usually there's also a ton of cliches. Not my thing. However, if someone makes a LGBT christmas rom com with not only white actors, I will watch the hell out of that.<br />
<br />
<b>Mads</b>: Yep! Love holiday movies, they’re cute and fun though many are also dull. The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix was a super pleasant surprise.<br />
<br />
<b>Max</b>: I’m not really a fan, but they’re good for the occasional laugh when there’s nothing else on. You can make a pretty entertaining drinking game out of them.<br />
<br />
<b>Laura B</b>: Well, I have yet to see any yet and admit to not ever really watching Hallmark anything, but The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix (starting Kurt Russell and Darby Camp) looks like it could easily become a classic! I hope to check it out before Christmas Day! Overall I think it's a great way to get some Christmas stuff out there for the people who love that sort of thing!<br />
<br />
<b>Zoé</b>: I wouldn't say I'm a fan of them, but I will watch some holiday movies occasionally. When I'm bored, I'll browse through a couple and if I recognize an actor/actress, I'll give it a try. They're cheesy and not my usual thing, but it's a good way to fill the holiday time.<br />
<br />
<b>Joey</b>: I don't have a strong opinion, but I suppose I'd lean a bit towards not being a fan. I don't watch a lot of them, but there's a few good gems in the mix. Most of the ones I watch, however, are just cheap, cheesy, Christmas nonsense that only exist for the sake of existing. But they can be fun sometimes. So I'm right in the middle on this decision.<br />
<br />
<b>Beth</b>: I do like them as an escape. You know exactly what you're getting in to and that is comforting. My two favorites this year were The Christmas Contract and No Sleep Till Christmas. Both were cute and fun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zuUlTSioBxg/XB0YYjV97RI/AAAAAAAACqQ/6YOM33KQhEMZTfHmaWGG-MtqnjLa2K2vACLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-12-20%2Bat%2B11.49.46%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="420" data-original-width="689" height="243" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zuUlTSioBxg/XB0YYjV97RI/AAAAAAAACqQ/6YOM33KQhEMZTfHmaWGG-MtqnjLa2K2vACLcBGAs/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-12-20%2Bat%2B11.49.46%2BPM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<b>Donna</b>: I love holiday movies! They are a wonderful respite from the intense dramas normally on my schedule and help remind us of the best time of year. Netflix made a great entry into the genre this season with the highly original and delightful The Christmas Chronicles which featured Kurt Russel in a terrific performance as Santa Claus.<br />
<br />
<div class="newindent"><div class="indentheader">In tandem with question three, networks have been criticized in the past for not being diverse enough with their holiday movies. Hallmark said that it was important for them to become more diverse with the holiday movies they release in 2018. Have you found that they have?</div></div><br />
<b>Ellys</b>: Hallmark broke their diversity records this season. Their record was basically zero before, but they've had multiple movies with non-sugar cookie white people in the lead this season. Jerrika Hinton (formerly of Greys Anatomy) was an especial delight in hers. NCIS's Duane Henry starred in one this Sunday that I look forward to watching. Speaking to other kinds of diversity, they also had some movies that didn't bash urban residency. City dwellers can have Christmas too!<br />
<br />
<b>Mads</b>: Call me when Hallmark includes LGBT couples, particularly involving nonwhite actors and then we can talk about their diversity slate. Yes they’ve made some improvements but I’d consider it the bare minimum. It’d be nice to get more representation from all walks of life.<br />
<br />
<b>Zoé</b>: I think it's a step in the right direction.<br />
<br />
<b>Joey</b>: I haven't actually watched any this year, but based on commercials, it looks like they're at least trying, which is more than some other networks, so good on them.<br />
<br />
<b>Giulia</b>: It is a long way to go. There have been improvements in terms of representation, sure. I'm with Mads on the LGBTQ storylines, we need more of those, too.<br />
<br />
<b>Donna</b>: They have absolutely been more diverse this year and from what I’ve read, there are plans to expand that diversity next year.<br />
<br />

As we approach the final days of 2018, end of year TV lists become all the rage, particularly the list of best shows from the past 12 months.<br />
<br />
Here at SpoilerTV, we have just over 70 team members, so rather than asking just one or two people to submit opinions, we compile a collective list from whomever among the team wishes to air their thoughts.<br />
<br />
53 of our team submitted their top ten shows of the year, and below is the combined top 20.<br />
<br />
From a combined 315 shows, 159 unique shows were chosen somewhere in a top ten list by at least one team member, giving a real diversity to our list. <br />
<br />
Without further ado, here's our top 20.<br />
<br />
<div id="wrapper" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;"><center><iframe class="dailyratings" frameBorder="0" class="adsbygoogle blockedcontent" src="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ajTgDFYODuH2Ka91TRcjzCnSwfwn3hZdwo_WzBzdyAs/pubhtml?headers=false&gid=2143913044&range=A1:E22" width="100%" height="660"></iframe><br />
</center></div><br />
We had a tie on the scoring between The Haunting of Hill House and Killing Eve — two shows which debuted this year — but on the tiebreaker of shows picked as number one, Netflix's Hill House takes the crown this year. The Americans — which ended this year in stark contrast to the two shows above it — Sharp Objects and 12 Monkeys make up the top five. Syfy's time-travel drama also ended this year and few would likely have predicted it would have placed so highly here.<br />
<br />
Commonly touted shows among critics like Better Call Saul (21st), Atlanta (33rd), Pose (41st), Barry (77th), and Succession (88th) don't make the top ten. <br />
<br />

Shirley Jackson spoke in jest when she wrote that quote in a nonfiction essay about her own life, how she would lose herself in creating stories. At the heart of <i>The Haunting of Hill House</i>, adapted from Jackson's beloved and chilling story, is Olivia Crain---a mother who may or may not be delusional. She falls victim to the dark forces within the house, but her desire to protect her youngest, most helpless children only grows. Through eight episodes, viewers witnessed only snippets of who Olivia was. "Screaming Meemies" finally pulls back the curtain, revealing truths even more beautiful and horrible than expected. The episode rests entirely on the performance of Carla Gugino as Olivia and how she portrayed the character as absolutely loving and absolutely dangerous at the same time. For this outstanding accomplishment, she has been selected SpoilerTV Staff Choice Performer of the Month for October.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l4v4sZBIt4A/W_oaB1nMX6I/AAAAAAAAKFw/Pp2luWBJasEfW3e38QdX9EP1asBtso6gwCLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l4v4sZBIt4A/W_oaB1nMX6I/AAAAAAAAKFw/Pp2luWBJasEfW3e38QdX9EP1asBtso6gwCLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B2.png" width="320" height="190" data-original-width="1285" data-original-height="761" /></a></div>"Screaming Meemies" begins with Olivia awakening. At first, the only thing visible is Gugino's eyes. They do not convey sleepiness or disengagement or anything natural to being awakened unexpectedly. Together with the set of her mouth, her expression is cold, as if she is deep in malicious thought. This makes it a surprise when the camera pulls away to reveal Olivia is snuggling with her sleeping twins, Luke and Nell on the couch. Her character's husband, Hugh offers to help carry them to bed, but Olivia refuses. Gugino's facial expressions are completely different here, Olivia is relaxed, her eyes are happy. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZL95wBWmIKM/W_oaE9AuiuI/AAAAAAAAKF0/TWbzAYBzQJIOe05_L-slND4Kj9-x7tC8QCLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B3.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZL95wBWmIKM/W_oaE9AuiuI/AAAAAAAAKF0/TWbzAYBzQJIOe05_L-slND4Kj9-x7tC8QCLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B3.png" width="251" height="320" data-original-width="644" data-original-height="821" /></a></div>Hugh asks if Olivia’s arm is asleep. Still adrift in her soothing reverie, Olivia shakes her head, saying no. Gugino lets Olivia’s face glow with maternal pride here. She doesn’t mind a little discomfort if it means holding her babies close a bit longer. But then she looks down. Her arm is empty. She’s startled. There’s a visible, brief moment of panic as Guginosignals Olivia’s fear with a frozen look on her face. She looks down in bewilderment at her now-empty arm, which is sprawled out limply on the couch. Hugh has Luke in his arms. He had picked him up despite her protests. In a particularly brilliant ten seconds, Gugino portrays three different sides of her character. First, there’s the sting of betrayal that Hugh didn’t listen to Olivia, her eyebrows and forehead tighten. Second, she demonstrates anger as her chest rises and falls quickly a couple of times, and her mouth almost slides into a frown. Third, she pretends everything is fine. Fixing a swift smile on face as she tells Hugh she’s coming. But in the same instance almost as if it’s a reflex, Gugino has Olivia halfway make a motion to put her arm around Nell, as if to protect her. And while Hugh carries Luke like a sprawled-out rag doll, with the little boy’s head and legs swinging about...Olivia bundles up Nell gently, supporting her legs and nestling her head in the crook of her mother’s arm. <br />

They found her, though the experience particularly shook both Nell and Olivia. In this episode, Olivia approaches Mrs. Dudley who is cleaning up the broken glass and shares how storms bothered her more when she was younger, She relates an incident that happened shortly after Olivia's father died unexpectedly in a car crash. As she's talking about how she couldn't grieve right away back then, Gugino tells the story as if there is a lump in Olivia's throat. She doesn't look directly at Mrs. Dudley. She just looks past her towards the left or right, occasionally pausing to take a deep breath. Olivia does make eye contact when she goes into detail about what did happen (coincidentally...or not) when her childhood self finally did grieve. <br />

But then when Olivia starts talking about how the hail was harder the more she cried and how it broke a window, Gugino has Olivia detach and basically just tell the story to herself, getting lost in it, watching her own hand gestures more than Mrs. Dudley's reactions. Viewing it without the eerie building music just shows more of how she shapes this scene too. She's turning her head a bit too fast, looking to this side and that side, widening her eyes to punctuate each sentence. Her voice drops to an absolute hush as Olivia finishes recounting her story. She shifts her mannerisms once more, as Olivia realizes that what she just said could be viewed as far-fetched.<br />

It’s a rare glimpse of Olivia enjoying a bit of alone time, and Gugino highlights how relaxed Olivia is through her pleasant mannerisms and comfortable rituals. She carries a pot of tea and a teacup into the room, climbing into the chair and curling her legs up next to her. She watches the tea pour out with an expression of happy satisfaction. She puts the teapot down with her right arm, but the left arm remains upright as her hand makes a subtle flourish. Olivia is feeling fancy. She opens the book, holding it in one hand with the teacup in the other. Of course, she blows on it first to cool the tea, but then the pain hits her. Gugino’s Olive closes her eyes tightly, wincing and grabbing at her forehead. She goes to the kitchen for water, barely acknowledging Luke and Shirley squabbling. Getting the pain under control is all that matters. Olivia returns to her reading room, opens the door, and her face is shown first before the room which is now a morgue. She’s perplexed but not worried. Still, she partially turns around to leave but looks back to see that there is now a body on one of the tables. Gugino walks straight toward that table but moves very slowly, the closer she gets the more nervous Olivia becomes. She gasps, and her eyes quiver as Olivia feels the horror of what she’s seeing. Recognizing Nellie, her entire face shakes. She quickly steps back, her whimpering slowly building. Her eyes wobbling with tears. Terror and sorrow play out in equal measure, and Gugino juggles them with ease. She is shaking all over as the vision of Nellie sits up on the table. Her pupils could not be larger. And then Olivia falls backward into reality. The actress leaves us with Olivia trying to breathe normally, brushing away her tears, and returning to her chair. But she doesn’t curl up this time. She sits on the edge, with her back only slightly bent forward. Gugino shows that Olivia no longer feels safe and comfortable in this room. <br />

Gugino does a couple of small things in this scene that maximizes its emotional impact. First, there's how her courage wavers when she says the twins' names. Her son's name is almost a whisper, with her upper lip and her voice quivering when she says it. But when Hugh comments on what a horrible dream it must have been, Olivia chooses to think of it as just a dream too, other than a passing comment about how vivid her dreams have been. She gives Olivia barely a breath to look away from Hugh and compose herself, turning her attention to his injury instead. And yet, even as she gives him a lighthearted goodnight kiss, her shoulders never relax.<br />

It is in this scene Olivia comes to the horrific realization that the only way to save her children from the horrors of the world is to kill them. Poppy tells her stories of her own children and husband who were suffering and to "wake them up" from these horrible nightmares or, screaming meemies, she snuffed them out. When we first see Gugino in this scene, the wear and tear of the house are immediately visible. She evolves with Olivia and with Hill House itself. It can't be easy to portray a character undergoing season long mental deterioration, especially when many of the factors influencing her downward spiral are invisible to all others. Gugino gives a very personal, internalized performance, her torment within the walls of the house centering on dormant fears of what the world will do to her kids, particularly the twins, who are the youngest. Much of Olivia's story is separate from the rest of the Crain's journeys. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w-9bEmaGEyI/W_oaVlDoc8I/AAAAAAAAKGU/PAfGSI-nJG09Kq6Vq3LXV30ZjVpFgAfMwCLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B9.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w-9bEmaGEyI/W_oaVlDoc8I/AAAAAAAAKGU/PAfGSI-nJG09Kq6Vq3LXV30ZjVpFgAfMwCLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B9.png" width="320" height="194" data-original-width="1290" data-original-height="782" /></a></div>The way she is able to shift, almost imperceptibly, from sorrow to elation (when Poppy brings her to the twin's bedroom), to desperation over the fact she may not be able to save Nell and Luke from these horrid dreams to a final note of determination, is masterfully done. Poppy's ghost could be a manifestation of Olivia's fear as pertains to the twins. She coaxes Olivia towards the ultimate answer: death, disguised as protection. One could immediately sense the final stages of madness in Olivia. Her eyes are glazed, swimming, and unfocused on her surroundings. A lesser actress could have overplayed this; it would be easy to overact. Gugino's ability to be subtle and allow her performance to build into the dramatic crescendo later in the episode is what makes her so skilled.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n6Ms91yBc7o/W_oaYDddnEI/AAAAAAAAKGY/u7Ri-qf5ghg2_PnQiswwman1W7qR-FJ4wCLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B10.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n6Ms91yBc7o/W_oaYDddnEI/AAAAAAAAKGY/u7Ri-qf5ghg2_PnQiswwman1W7qR-FJ4wCLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B10.png" width="320" height="200" data-original-width="1491" data-original-height="931" /></a></div>Olivia is reaching her breaking point and slowly being swallowed into the pit of the house. The house is distorting her sense of reality with these hallucinations, and as Olivia's sanity disintegrates, Gugino's superior ability to take this character to that place becomes more apparent. When she wakes up on top of Hugh with a screwdriver to his throat, having believed she was just talking to Poppy, she's terribly shaken. Olivia has no idea what's going on and the way Gugino presents her confusion and fear is wonderfully done. The sweat glistening on her face, her breathing panicked. Somewhere deep down, Olivia knows it's more than the nightmare she says she's had to placate her husband, but she's too scared to admit the truth. She's losing herself and she's partly aware, but the house has her too confused by manipulating her emotions and worst fears. <br />
<br />

She knows something is wrong and that she should probably leave for a little while, get away from the house. Gugino's crying, scared, and nervous face has one feeling nothing but sorrow and sympathy for what this mother is going through. Tears falling down her face, a completely defeated look in her eyes, she shows the signs of a woman on the edge and tipping over. But, she recovers herself enough to try to be strong, determined to stop whatever is happening and get things sorted out for the sake of her family.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G8npOT2dUFw/W_oadGtKVOI/AAAAAAAAKGk/Ndfg-nxzR6ExMo9Uv-vNTIxWvgz61KI5ACLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B12.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G8npOT2dUFw/W_oadGtKVOI/AAAAAAAAKGk/Ndfg-nxzR6ExMo9Uv-vNTIxWvgz61KI5ACLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B12.png" width="320" height="199" data-original-width="1462" data-original-height="909" /></a></div>As she moves through the house after these ordeals, the sounds of everything around her banging into her head, Gugino's tired, stressed-out look, shows she is just about to snap from it all. By the time she puts her twins to bed, she's covered all of her problems up enough to give her kids the comfort they need. That is until they go on and on talking about the turbulent lives they're going to lead in the future; Luke's with his future drug addiction and Nell's future depression, anxiety, and sleep paralysis. As Olivia listens intently to them, Gugino is acutely tuned in to what they're saying and shows a mother confused and horrified by the twisted things her kids are saying. She can barely speak above a whisper in response to it until the house forces the resolve out of her loudly that she would never let anything happen to them. That she would wake them up from such a bad dream. Gugino is hauntingly, beautifully taking this woman from this relaxed, loving mother to this unhinged, obsessively protective mother that one that will protect her little ones at all costs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Mg9RVo980gc/W_oajHicmXI/AAAAAAAAKGw/Qd7qDVIJuTI-fKGVL7Fm3Sg3xmkRs9SjgCLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B13%2Band%2B14.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Mg9RVo980gc/W_oajHicmXI/AAAAAAAAKGw/Qd7qDVIJuTI-fKGVL7Fm3Sg3xmkRs9SjgCLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B13%2Band%2B14.png" width="320" height="190" data-original-width="1331" data-original-height="790" /></a></div>In a second conversation with her neighbor, Olivia hears some things but doesn't fully take them heart as Mrs. Dudley tries to ground Olivia and prepare her to fight for her children. Here, Gugino is again able to show a kind of elegant reserve or elusiveness with a somewhat softer voice and shrinking violet demeanor but retains a sense of poise. Hair, unkempt, like her mind, she continues to paint a vivid picture of a person falling further into an abyss desperately trying to get out. Hugh is unable to comprehend the true reality of the situation saying she's tired and stressed. What is happening is Gugino showcasing a tour de force of emotions, each word, content, exhausted, nervous, creative, all the things, each had an expression, poignant, that built towards a canvas of suffering that she exquisitely, and effortlessly exhibited. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o1S0gW4aEH0/W_oal8VtuOI/AAAAAAAAKG0/C3LoDKCK3ywmWPJS9GeUvvCWXz8JQgf-ACLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B15.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o1S0gW4aEH0/W_oal8VtuOI/AAAAAAAAKG0/C3LoDKCK3ywmWPJS9GeUvvCWXz8JQgf-ACLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B15.png" width="320" height="187" data-original-width="1347" data-original-height="788" /></a></div>The fact she's questioning her own sanity, turning her head to the side, looking for assurance from her husband is excruciating. Hugh trying to form the right words sees Olivia react like she's clinging to his every word. She's holding onto him as her lifeline. She's looking longingly for help in his eyes, and as he walks over and grabs her hands and kisses them the camera pans up and her expression breaks hearts. Like any mother, she puts on a brave face and agrees to leave early but still worries about all the things Hugh must worry about. She never worries about herself. She cries, eyes closed and a wide opened mouth that shatters your soul before looking at Hugh again, in such pain as Hugh tries to offer her comfort. Every time she looks at Hugh, she tries to keep it under control, sniffling and containing her tears. She puts on the face of a warrior and trying to protect others from being hurt because she doesn't want to burden anyone. <br />
<br />

As she always is with her babies, she's staying strong for them so they don't worry, acting completely normal. But from the look on Gugino's face, you can tell that there is so much more going on underneath. As she leaves, and Luke follows her and asks her if Abigail can spend the night, the way Gugino smiles sweetly at her innocent son and tells him he can, is so warm and comforting the trouble she's facing is forgotten. She seems as calm and as confident as she ever has since moving in, here as she takes a last look at her kids, certain that she's going to make herself better for them. <br />
<br />

The scene switches from Hugh’s end of the call (with the chaotic noise of the children dominating the background) to Olivia. She’s sitting in a dark room, definitely not Aunt Janet’s. Gugino has very little dialogue in this scene, but she uses her body language and tone to convey the alien transformation that has occurred within Olivia. She sits absolutely straight. Rigid, inflexible. She even holds the phone straight. There’s barely any inflection when she says, “It was fine,” as Olivia lies about her flight. But when Hugh pauses to berate the children, she inhales sharply twice. Olivia continues the ruse that she’s at Janet’s, as she listens to the noise of the children arguing over the phone. Her voice wavers once. When Olivia hangs up, she exhales once, sitting cross-legged on the hotel bed, shoulders and arms and torso completely straight. There isn’t a trace of vulnerability. She replicates this demeanor for the next scene when Olivia returns to Hill House. As she stands and watches Hugh asleep on the couch, Gugino has stripped away every human part of the character. She just tips her head slightly to the side, examining him with a faintly puzzled expression. It distinctly reminds you of how an android would consider some curiosity. It isn’t meant to be natural, but the impersonal darkness that Gugino has in her eyes is what makes this moment disturbing.<br />

Everything about her screams that something is not right. From the moment she goes downstairs, and the camera focuses on the bottle of rat poison, to Shirley questioning why her mother is milling around in the middle of the night when she's not even supposed to be home, Gugino plays Olivia as being a million miles away, mentally. In a masterful moment, she makes it appear that while Olivia is there physically, it is apparent in her eyes that she is under complete control of the house. At this point, she is already a ghost, from her gossamer white robe to the way she glides through the house and corrals the children to follow her. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5cXyAW6zAZo/W_oaw8k2CII/AAAAAAAAKHI/efEX8FWlMoEN6Db46zdY-dTodEs_WTB7QCLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5cXyAW6zAZo/W_oaw8k2CII/AAAAAAAAKHI/efEX8FWlMoEN6Db46zdY-dTodEs_WTB7QCLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B19.jpg" width="320" height="194" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="970" /></a></div>The way she talks to Nell and Luke would presume nothing is wrong, but there is a carefully woven note of eeriness in every line Gugino speaks. Even when she looks upon Abigail's face, you can see in her eyes the resolution to save another little girl before it's too late. She made a point of telling Shirley that she, Theo, and Steven had "grown up so fast", therefore they're beyond being saved. But the children are not. Even as she herds Abigail, Nell, and Luke to the Red Room, she walks with uncanny grace. For one unsuspecting, this could be a regular mother trying to have a fun night with her kids, but when you look closer, it's apparent how Gugino has altered the smallest aspects of Olivia's personality and demeanor to demonstrate her descent into insanity. The Olivia of the beginning of the season was firmer and more grounded whereas this version of her almost seems like she might float away. Her gaze is unfixed, her posture relaxed, she has only one goal and I can see the fog of her mind through the blankness of her eyes. She shows how Olivia has relinquished control to Hill House and thus her invitation to the tea party is truly a march to their deaths. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MFclBERBUGc/W_oazpUWqhI/AAAAAAAAKHQ/lJOi3IPNIV4ARQ7c1DzJgNuEaBhHy9MRACLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B20.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MFclBERBUGc/W_oazpUWqhI/AAAAAAAAKHQ/lJOi3IPNIV4ARQ7c1DzJgNuEaBhHy9MRACLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B20.png" width="320" height="206" data-original-width="1237" data-original-height="797" /></a></div>The tea party begins with one clear goal, making everyone safe. Only a mother would warn their child it's "still a little hot", trying to prevent them from being burnt. Regardless of the poison, it's this act that shows she's not truly malevolent. As Olivia passes a teacup to Nellie, she says, "your cup of stars", with attentive eyes and a wide smile, slightly reminiscent of the Chesire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. It's this slight exaggeration in expression that's not quite as nuanced as previous smiles conveying the sense Olivia isn't fully in control of herself. She's being twisted by the will of the house and over the course of this tea party, widened smiles, help convey that. A child wouldn't quite pick up on this but there is something there, that's not quite human. Olivia asking them to wait so she can pour herself a cup so that they can all drink together is another act of a mother's love. It's mortifying to think this was her last moment of happiness and she didn't know it. <br />

She doesn't want them to suffer even though life and death aren't free of pain. The fact that Abigail is foaming at the mouth and Olivia is so put together, so sure that she'll wake up is another testament to the power of belief. Gugino sells this harrowing scene perfectly, where she's so lost in wanting to save her children, to wake them, that she doesn't realize what it costs. It's as if she's trapped in a mirror, what she sees she believes is fantasy, her fragile mind has taken advantage of by both the house and Poppy, prevents her from seeing the truth right in front of her eyes. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B0eoPlYnyKY/W_oa5u31UxI/AAAAAAAAKHg/ZTx69ai6o5sbnx-TjBPabcxTRAFI4LdxACLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B22.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B0eoPlYnyKY/W_oa5u31UxI/AAAAAAAAKHg/ZTx69ai6o5sbnx-TjBPabcxTRAFI4LdxACLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B22.png" width="320" height="192" data-original-width="1356" data-original-height="815" /></a></div>In an echo of the opening moments, Olivia wakes up alone in the Red Room, without the twins. She is injured from Hugh fighting her off, but she still runs limping through the house looking for the children. Here, Guginomust display more physical acting, showing Olivia's pain and confusion in the way she stumbles around, slightly off balance, with her arms reaching out wide like she's playing Blind Man's Bluff. A shut door presents itself. Olivia grabs the doorknob to keep herself from falling. She is completely silent outside the door, hesitant to open it. Perhaps not even wanting to. Perhaps realizing something is wrong. We know this, because Gugino tells us, in the way she stands a bit straighter and doesn't attempt to push on the door. She acts like she doesn't know how to turn this particular doorknob. It is heartbreakingly clear Olivia is awakening too late to the true danger around her. She runs, falls, crawls, runs, falls, and crawls again trying to catch up to Hugh as he flees with the children. <br />

Upon finally reaching the doorway, Olivia drops to her knees, mortified to see Abigail's lifeless body on the ground. She crawls towards the child in shock from the realization she might be dead. At the realization that death has come, Olivia wails, devastated. Gugino pours staggering energy into Olivia's despair, her entire body shaking, overwhelmed with emotion. Each wail becomes louder than the last, more imbued with agony. It's this cry of a mother's love that is felt so deeply, so genuinely. She gathers her composure and questions if the Abigail she sees, standing wide-eyed, in the doorway to the Red Room, is awake. She then gathers her strength, reaching for the table to pick herself up and limps out of the room, instead of following Abigail, she walks towards the perilous staircase. Seeking for guidance, Olivia turns her head around, lost and alone, vulnerable, pleads to wake up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JR38sbZPR4E/W_oa-lWlaZI/AAAAAAAAKHs/Ir5ebm0OFG0J5ltRLyjAQPQuudR2NxTdgCLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B24.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JR38sbZPR4E/W_oa-lWlaZI/AAAAAAAAKHs/Ir5ebm0OFG0J5ltRLyjAQPQuudR2NxTdgCLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B24.png" width="320" height="192" data-original-width="1551" data-original-height="929" /></a></div>Underscored by a heartbreaking musical piece that crescendos as Olivia cries, she begs to wake up. Gugino squeezes her eyelids tight as if when she opens them this nightmare will be nothing more than a dream. The conviction to this performance is impeccable, even as her next words change in tone as if to indicate further hope of waking up. It is devastating to watch the scene play out as the camera shifts to a side profile of Olivia's face as she asks why she can't wake up., Her eyes for just a moment, look up towards the ceiling as if to call out to a higher power. As the score become overbearingly, terrifyingly loud, she lets go of her hold on the railings. With both arms spread open, like a bird flying out of misery she flies as the camera pulls away to show the railing, the cold, isolated house and then, the cruel snap landing of Olivia's tragic fate. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NxUKo1p-ddo/W_obBASTcUI/AAAAAAAAKH0/HHxhv0GVzBsQW5BJqU9yrLzW4hEdsjDWwCLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B25.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NxUKo1p-ddo/W_obBASTcUI/AAAAAAAAKH0/HHxhv0GVzBsQW5BJqU9yrLzW4hEdsjDWwCLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B25.png" width="320" height="196" data-original-width="1348" data-original-height="826" /></a></div>The episode ends with a reminder of who Olivia was. It's the day the Crains moved into Hill House and everything about Olivia in stark contrast. Her hair is neatly pulled into a loose ponytail. Her voice is cheerful, eagerly directing her children on where to find things. She's not wearing the locket with Luke and Nell's pictures, but a simple gold necklace instead. Here Gugino portrays an Olivia totally at ease. Her body is relaxed excited about this new project, for the "endless summer" ahead. She even has her hands in her pockets. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WaTG8MacCB8/W_obEHh68sI/AAAAAAAAKH4/cUU1kzl6-v89HfsW6JTFlckFd5VVdeIewCLcBGAs/s1600/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B26.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WaTG8MacCB8/W_obEHh68sI/AAAAAAAAKH4/cUU1kzl6-v89HfsW6JTFlckFd5VVdeIewCLcBGAs/s320/Carla%2BGugino%2BParagraph%2B26.png" width="320" height="199" data-original-width="1282" data-original-height="799" /></a></div><i>The Haunting of Hill House</i> certainly could not have gone on without Carla Gugino. The best horror is rooted in the most compelling tragedy. Watching her Olivia Crain step closer and closer to destroying those she loved most while thinking she was figuring out how to save them is as tragic as it comes. For the loss to truly hurt, the audience had to love Olivia as her family did. Gugino gifted Olivia with a radiant, generous spirit and a strong, fierce character. And it fell to her to convincingly erode the trust in this amazing woman, to chip off little pieces of her character's mind and soul in each scene. She made us simultaneously relieved and heartbroken when Olivia's plan failed. The ghosts, the shadows, the eerie score, the jump scares, the cries -<i>The Haunting of Hill House</i> had all these things. But, nothing and no one will haunt viewers like Olivia, thanks to Gugino's brilliant performance. <br />
<br />
For all the reasons noted in this article, Carla Gugino of SpoilerTV's Staff Choice Performer of the Month. Please use the comments to discuss her performance in this episode and regarding her portrayal of Olivia in <i>The Haunting of Hill House</i>.<br />

<b>**Results**</b><br />
<br />
This was a very interesting round of voting. The Staff Choice winner was decided in the first few hours as the winner rushed out to a massive lead and no one ever got close. The Readers’ Choice contest, however, was a much harder fought battle. No one sprinted out to take the lead. In fact, the lead changed hands several times throughout the first day. Four nominees stayed within striking distance of each other right until the end. One of them pulled out to a tenuously small lead that looked like it was going to hold. That is until one of the other nominees had a final push of votes and in the final moments of the voting period managed to match votes just as the poll closed. This round of voting was unprecedented for many reasons including our first ever tie. After some debate that ranged from a run-off poll to granting each performer an article, we finally settled on a solution. It was decided that both performers tied fair and square meaning that both deserved to be honored. So, for the first time ever, the Readers’ Choice will be represented by 2 winners.<br />
<br />

The first Readers’ Choice Performer of the Month of October is <i>Arrow</i>’s Katie Cassidy who plays Earth 2 Laurel Lance and her alter-ego Black Siren. Cassidy has been an integral part of the show since the very beginning. She was the original Black Canary before the unfortunate death of the original Laurel Lance. After some time away from the series she returned in a recurring capacity as the Earth 2 Laurel Lance and soon after reclaimed her status as a series regular. Her characters on the show have ranged from heroic to evil and she has portrayed both with equal amounts of charisma and fierceness. While the original Laurel Lance had her faults she was a hero at heart while Black Siren did some horrific things that she is no trying to repent for. She’s trying to turn over a new chapter in her life, which is giving Cassidy some phenomenal material to work with. The episode she won for, <i>The Longbow Hunters</i> (7x2), beautifully showcased the change and shift in the character. It also brought light to the struggle going on inside of Laurel between light and dark. Cassidy captured that struggle with such powerfully real emotions that it made even naysayers look up and take notice. This is a true redemption arc and one that is giving Katie Cassidy powerful material to work with and she’s taking full advantage of the opportunity presented to her. For all these reasons and all the reasons that will be noted in her winner article, Katie Cassidy is one of SpoilerTV’s Readers’ Choice Performers of the Month of October.<br />

Melissa Benoist has been known for her strong portrayal of Supergirl, showcasing the Girl of Steel’s superpowers and empathy as the beacon of hope National City. However, it is for her brilliance and impeccable comedic timing as Kara Danvers in <i>Fallout</i> (4x2), that she is being recognized as one of SpoilerTV’s Readers’ Choice Performers of the Month for October. In this episode, it was in Kara’s awkward, geeky attempts to slip away from Lena and Miss Teschmacher to become Supergirl during Mercy’s attack on LCorp, that Benoist shined. Her performance was very Christopher Reeve-esque in style, creating a wonderful homage to the actor and his Clark Kent alter-ego. Congratulations to Melissa Benoist for being selected one of SpoilerTV’s Readers’ Choice Performers of the Month of October.<br />

The SpoilerTV Staff Performer of the Month for October is Carla Gugino for her performance in the ninth episode of <i>The Haunting of Hill House</i>. She was absolutely untouchable, basically winning in a landslide, although her TV daughters Victoria Pedretti and Katie Siegel tied for the runner up position. The Crain family have certainly captured our hearts. Carla Gugino has played a mother figure (<i>Spy Kids</i>, <i>San Andreas</i>, <i>The Space Between Us</i>) before. She’s also previously played a woman trapped against her will fighting to survive (<i>Gerald’s Game</i>, <i>Wayward Pines</i>). But nothing could have prepared us for her performance as the doting, dangerous Olivia Crain. It requires a rare artistry to create a character that we simultaneously want to run away from and run back to. In <i>Screaming Meemies</i> (1x9), Gugino draws us in with her mesmerizing, horrifying portrayal of a woman being slowly broken into pieces. And yet she never ever lets us forget the person we and the Crain children adore is still there within the lost creature she becomes. Carla Gugino has created a ghost that will haunt us forever, which has earned her the title of SpoilerTV’s October Staff Choice Performer of the Month.<br />

<b>Giulia: </b>Constance Langdon explaining Michael's story to Madison and Behold. The entire sequence is just amazing. The way Jessica Lange tells the story is both riveting and heartbreaking. The way Sarah Paulson shot the scene is outstanding (the shot with the roses in the garden, in particular, was incredible to watch). Lange's performance is just a testament to how important her contribution to the show has been. You could see Constance's suffering, mainly because she realizes she could not prevent Michael from being as evil as he was (is), but also the pure and utter love she feels for him.<br />
<b>Klutzy girl:</b> Constance returns. I've been waiting for this for a long time, and was not disappointed at all. The way she appeared out of nowhere and told Madison and Behold that she's Constance Langdon and "this is my fucking house" was amazing in every single way.<br />
<b>Claire:</b> Can I nominate the entire show? Because this episode felt like a beautiful gift to all of the loyal AHS fans! But since I’m a hopeless romantic, I’ll pick the scene where Tate Langdon and Violet Harmon are finally able to be together, blissfully in eternity. Behold casts a spell on Violet to make her ‘see’ the real Tate; that he is a good person; albeit dead and a former murderer. I love when Violet looks at Tate, lovingly forgiving him, and he cries...be still my heart.<br />

<b>Justyna:</b> Such a fantastic season premiere, one of my favorites this fall and probably one of the best in the show's history. So many great scenes to mention, starting from the parallel fight and the end reveal, but since I can only select one, let me highlight the moment when Felicity visits Oliver in prison. It's hard to believe how much these two have been through and still, I think it might be one of their best moments together. Before Felicity arrives, Oliver is convinced that his wife (and possibly his son) have been brutally murdered by Diaz. His feelings when he sees her alive and well can't be put into words but are perfectly displayed by Stephen Amell. Felicity tells her husband about Diaz's attack and the way she tried to fight him to protect William but couldn't. Her story definitely makes one think about a mother protecting her child. Wonderful work by Emily Bett Rickards as well. What's especially important about this scene is the fact it's a defining moment, a turning point for both characters, the moment when they decide to fight back, no longer hiding, waiting or keeping their heads down. As hard as it is, as dangerous, it's who they are and these last events are a reminder of their old life and the future they're hoping to build. Beautifully written, very emotional scene, one of the most memorable parts of the great premiere. Kudos to cast & crew for their work!<br />
<b>Mads:</b> Felicity fights Diaz while Oliver is involved in a prison brawl. I was surprised by the fight choreography and coordination of these scenes. Plus it was nice to see Felicity get her hands dirty and I thought she held her own the best she could against Diaz. I liked how the scene was interspersed with Oliver’s fight, which the poor guy had to do while buck naked in the shower!<br />

<b>Jennise:</b> Lynn gives Issa his options. Here's why it was so important for Lynn to play dirty and make sure she was put in charge of the kids in the pods and, by extension, any kid changed by Green Light. Lynn delivers the news that the drug is killing him with a compassion we know Percy Odell wouldn't have even considered. Odell probably would have just put him in a pod in hopes that the military can use him as an interrogator. Lynn gives Issa the option of going into a pod or going home and hoping for a cure. One of the problems with being a teen is that sometimes your mistakes affect you for a lifetime.<br />
<b>Naomi:</b> Black Lightning and Thunder, the father/daughter duo helping citizens escape a crazed Green Light baby attack and then Anissa decides to take a bow afterwards. It was nice to see the dynamic of age play out in the way Anissa and Jeff handle being heroes in the moment. It was a nice realistic touch.<br />

Justyna:</b> What a fantastic season of this brilliant show it turned out to be. So glad to have Daredevil back and I'm already starting to miss it. When it comes to the first part of the season, there's a number of scenes worth highlighting, however since I only get one I have to mention the sequence when Matt is forced to fight his way out of prison. First thing, the entire breathtaking 11-minute sequence is a single shot (one camera rolling without any cuts). Daredevil has been applauded for its fight choreography since the series premiere in 2015 but it seems that nothing has been more challenging than this breakout. Charlie Cox, showrunner Erik Oleson, director Alex Garcia Lopez and the incredible stunt team all did a wonderful job here and its result plays flawlessly on our screens during the season's fourth episode. Matt Murdock enters the prison to learn more about Fisk's actions and ends up getting attacked by both convicts and the guards, still under Kingpin's control. The Devil of Hell's Kitchen does not wear any disguise in this fight. He's not prepared for this situation and has to use all of his strength to fight for his life. Matt is still healing from his many wounds, so even though he's able to stop his attackers for most part he's also left severely beaten, falling time and time again. But it wouldn't be Matt Murdock if he stayed down for too long. Eventually, he learns the information he needed and with the help of the Albanians he's be able to finally get out, straight to the taxi still waiting for him outside of the prison where he can finally take a breath. At least for a moment. The sequence is intense, well directed, acted and very memorable indeed. Perfectly fitting for the SOTW article. Kudos to entire cast & crew for their fantastic work on this scene and the season overall.<br />

Aimee T:</b> The scene where Ben goes to pick up Olive from a local store and upon arrival receives a couple of shocks. The first is that Olive has been detained for shoplifting, and the second is that Danny, Grace's ex, is already there. This is Ben (and the audience's) in-person introduction to Danny and the circumstances set the stage for future drama. First, the store clerk mistakes Danny for Olive's father, so Ben is taken aback by that. Second, upon seeing her actual father, Olive remarks "Dad, what are you doing?", which is an odd greeting to be sure. Clearly not a feel-good moment for Ben, however, Danny is polite enough and introduces himself before leaving shortly. While the scene itself is quick, Ben's emotions are palpable and Josh Dallas effectively conveys a mix of bewilderment and distress. Now as one of the show's protagonists, the audience is obviously encouraged to sympathize with Ben. However, Danny himself (even as a rival) is not introduced negatively, so he doesn't seem to be positioned as a villain. While this is just an initial assessment, coupled with the fact that Daniel Sunjata (a better known TV actor) was cast, it might suggest that Danny will play a more nuanced or significant role beyond ex-boyfriend that the audience is meant to despise.<br />
<br />
<b>MAYANS MC, "Cucaracha/K'uruch", October 16, 2018, Actors: Carla Baratta, Edward James Olmos<br />
The Scene: Adelita confronts Felipe<br />
Beth:</b> The show has slowly revealed pieces of Adelita's story and this scene finally showed some of what motivates her to be who she is. She has spent so much time believing that Felipe is the reason her family was slaughtered but it turned out that he wasn't. It was almost devastating to see her learn how wrong she had been even though it was a relief to know Felipe had nothing to do with it. It is also interesting to speculate what she will do moving forward in her dynamic with Angel.<br />

Claire:</b> The scene where Murphy eviscerates the ex-Trump aide Ed Shannon (Steve Bannon-like). She refuses to compromise her integrity by having him on her show, but they meet up at Phil’s and what ensues is a beautiful dressing-down of many of the Trump administration’s bigotry, misogyny, hatred and outright lies. When Murphy says: “you’re an old, white guy afraid of losing his place at the table; a dinosaur...” I stood up and cheered and hoped that someone would say these actual words out loud one day... Runner up: the return of Jim Dial! <br />

<b>Mads:</b> The scene where Tianna and her parents discover her cancer has returned is a heartbreaking one. Especially when we’re told it is aggressive and she is likely going to die from it. She asks Helen what it feels like to die and Helen’s speech, telling her “she’s in the same room, just on the other side” absolutely had me reaching for the tissues. Freema demonstrates what a gifted actress she truly is.<br />
<b>DJRiter:</b> I agree about the scene where Helen is finally able to explain to the little girl what it feels like to die. This was a beautifully written, acted and directed scene. Kudos to Freema Agyeman.<br />
<br />

<b>Beth:</b> Jason comes home to Emma and Mikey instead of going on the mission after Alana's death. When Jason got that call it was time to go, I was just thinking that he cannot leave those kids and he didn't. He turned to his best friend to go in his place and came home and sat with his kids who needed him so much more in that moment. Having Alana die was a bold choice by the show because they could have had her move away with the kids, but they chose to go a different route and it adds so much more to the story of Jason.<br />
<b>Jennise: </b>Jason helps the kids pick out a dress for their mother to be buried in. There were so many standout scenes in this week’s episode. But this one stood out to me because Jason spent so much of the episode hiding, focusing on being strong. This was the first moment he was able to truly connect with his kids and remember Alana with a smile.<br />
<br />

Abi:</b> We barely got any warning that this was going to be Cameron Monaghan's last episode but the storyline was very much leading to him either actually going to jail or running away so it did seem like a good time to wrap things up and one of the best ways to have done that would have been to bring Mickey back, and they did! Gallavich (Ian/Mickey) have always been one of the strongest and most celebrated couples on the show and it's only fitting that they finally got a somewhat happy ending and will spend the foreseeable future together. When Ian was blocking the door to the cell and someone entered I hoped that it was Mickey but didn't dare believe it was him until he was standing there. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried throughout the entire scene either as it's totally a true testament to how much they love each other that Mickey would get himself sent to jail so that they could be together. A fitting final scene for a fan favourite character.<br />
<br />
<b>SINGLE PARENTS, "Beyoncé Circa Lemonade", October 17, 2018, Actors: Brad Garrett, Leighton Meester, The Scene: Douglas comforts Angie<br />
Dahne:</b> Douglas prides himself on being tough, but he finally admits to Angie that he has his mushy moments too. He then takes it a step further by telling her that who their kids become is ultimately up to their kids. They can only do their best.<br />
<br />
<b>SUPERGIRL, "American Alien", October 14, 2018, Actors: Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh<br />
The Scene: Kara and Alex discuss their day<br />
DJRiter:</b> If I have to pick one of the several deserving scenes in the Supergirl season premiere, for me it would the Danvers sisters couch scene where Kara and Alex are sitting, eating and discussing their day. No one does these scenes like Melissa Benoist and Chyler Leigh can, just perfection and the perfect example of why these sisters and their relationship are the heart and foundation of the show. The was a lovely scene and I hope the first of many such scenes between the Danvers Sisters to come this season.<br />
<br />

Claire:</b> The opening scene where it is revealed that ‘Granny Rose’ has died. As a long-time fan of Roseanne (the show, not the actress), this was a very emotional episode for me. I really didn’t believe that they were going to kill off Roseanne Conner but in reality it was the only choice and the best one. I was thankful to have been given a chance to mourn a character who meant so much to me as a teenager and then as an adult and fellow mother. I think The Conners has a lot of promise, well written, acted and directed. Ironically, it did feel as if a weight had been lifted off of the entire production. <br />
<br />
<b>THE FLASH, "Blocked", October 16, 2018, Actors: Candice Patton, Grant Gustin and more<br />
The Scene: Iris tells the team about her investigation<br />
Naomi:</b> Iris reveals that her investigation has led her to believe that the person who killed Gridlock is the same person who attacked Team Flash. She invites the team to listen to the sound of insects hissing in the background as a victim is being killed and reminds them it is the same thing they heard during their fight. It was so fulfilling to see Iris getting back to her comic book roots of investigating! Let's hope this is just the beginning.<br />
<br />
<b>THE GIFTED, "outMatched", October 16, 2018, Actors: Amy Acker, Stephen Moyer and more<br />
The Scene: Caitlin exploits Graph's addiction to force him to help <br />
Laura B:</b> Caitlin uses drugs to get what she wants from Graph. I have to say these Caitlin scenes really push the controversial envelop on morality by abusing Graph and giving him Kick! It's not so much of surprise given Amy Acker's repertoire of past characters, but definitely a surprise for Caitlin who has been one of the most morally consciously concerned characters in the series thus far and because this is a PG 14 network show that usually wouldn't show something like this to the point Caitlin takes it.<br />
<br />
<b>THE GOLDBERGS, "Hersheypark", October 17, 2018, Actors: Sam Lerner, Hayley Orrantia<br />
The Scene: Geoff refuses to fold Erica's sweaters<br />
Beth:</b> This scene was hilarious because Geoff has always catered to everything Erica wants and thanks to him trying not to be a yes man any more, he finally told Erica no and she loved it. It was a small, but sweet and funny moment for a character that I have really come to love.<br />
<br />
<b>THE GOOD DOCTOR, "Tough Titmouse", October 15, 2018, Actors: Freddie Highmore, Richard Schiff<br />

Justyna:</b> The amazing thing about this show is that every time I think I know in which direction it's heading, the story takes a complete turn and the series essentially reboots itself. And somehow it always feels fresh and exciting and makes me really interested to see what will happen next. This episode was another example of such significant change after the humans learn the truth about the Good Place and their entire history so far. The news that they're already doomed hits them all hard. Chidi has a complete breakdown (comedy gold material), Tahani and Jason try to spend her fortune on good causes and Eleanor has a chance to do a small thing which changes her perspective entirely. In the end Eleanor proves what the viewers might have already guessed by now, she truly has changed. Inspired by the events of her day she proposes to the rest of the group that they should all try to do good, help other people try to get into the Good Place even if the six of them are already doomed. Everyone agrees and the Soul Squad is born. Not only it's a great creative idea for the show, it's an inspiring thought for anyone watching. Without expecting any award, in fact knowing the opposite awaits you, wouldn't it still be worth to help as many as you can? Kudos to the entire cast & crew for their wonderful work on the show.<br />

<b>Laura B:</b> Nell explains some of the metaphysics of the house and philosophy of the Red Room. There were so many scene I could have picked in this season finale and it honestly was a toss up between this scene, Olivia's scene with the twins and Abigail, or Hugh saying goodbye to Steven, but I decided on this scene not just because it begins to explain the metaphysics behind the story, but that the metaphysics enhance this story given that for so long they were being scared to death by themselves and that Haunting of Hill House wasn't just pop-up-and-scare-you story, but it also was a dysfunctional family drama with endearing characters who are fleshed out enough to be memorable. The House's mythology/metaphysics and how it is Nell that explains it to her siblings, gives the story both a haunting, but also perhaps even an enchanting quality at times, reminiscent of fantasy works like The House of Many ways, given the argument that maybe it's the outside world that will eat you up, and perhaps the house does just want to preserve and protect its inhabitants in timeless wondrous box of happiness? On the other hand however, I don't think we understood the Hill's story to its fullest given some of things that Poppy says & does and the way Olivia gets possessed. I hope very much that there is second season and that it remains in the same universe of the first season and doesn't go a straight up anthology route. I think there is a lot more story that could be told here with characters both old and new from various time periods. I would love to see it! <b>Also picked by DarkUFO</b><br />
<b>Mads:</b> The long tracking shot where everyone reveals their memories of Nell. I picked this scene because it is a technical marvel. This episode contained several long tracking shots that all required elaborate staging and rehearsals so I felt it's important to commend the cast and crew for pulling this off. But the initial scene at the funeral where everyone shared a memory of Nell was particularly poignant, especially without any cuts.<br />

Gina</b>: So hard to choose just one scene. We finally get to see and understand who Jack is because of what happened in Vietnam. I think one of the most profound scenes is Jack learning to "breathe". Set in Vietnam, Jack's friend has just lost his foot in an explosion and is about to go home. Robinson holds Jack’s face in his hands and you can see him saying "Breathe" without sound — and the next image is of Jack holding a young Randall’s face in his hands telling Randall to breathe. It was profound if you watched the show.<br />

Justyna:</b> I continue to really enjoy the show and I'm glad that everyone now knows about the affair. It's the one plot that I'm not a fan of, but I liked how this reveal allowed viewers to see a different side of some characters, especially Katherine. However, for my choice of SOTW, I decided to highlight a more peaceful conversation, at the end of the hour, when Gary visits Delilah to ask her "why". First of all, I absolutely love Gary's character, he's been my favorite in all the episodes so far and this one felt quite important to him. Other than Katherine, he's the one who had the most powerful and emotional reaction to the news, standing up for his lost friend and declaring some things are simply unforgiveable. While he and Eddie are clearly not in a good place, I was surprised by his conversation with Delilah. It felt like he was able to understand her ("I just got forgotten") and opened up to her with his own story. Judging by what we've seen so far, these two have a lovely, supportive friendship and I liked how they were able to find a common ground despite everything. It also shows a very clear contrast between Eddie and Delilah who are both responsible for their actions but ultimately make a very different impression on their friends and the viewers. Kudos to James Roday and Stéphanie Szostak (& the crew) for this moment and all the wonderful work so far.<br />
<b>DarkUFO:</b> Kim finds out about Eddie's affair.<br />

<b>AMERICAN HORROR STORY, "Boy Wonder", October 10, 2018, Actors: Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson<br />
The Scene: Misty is rescued from hell<br />
Sam:</b> After five long years, justice finally prevailed when Misty was, in Myrtle's words, raised from perdition. As excited as I was seeing those ashes form back into her body, there was one person who may have been even happier than me to see her be resurrected and that was Cordelia. The way Misty wakes up in her arms, totally amazed to be alive again and out of hell, and Cordelia crying as she hugs her was beautiful.<br />
<br />
<b>ANDI MACK, "The Boys Are Back", October 8, 2018, Actors: Lilan Bowden, Trent Garrett<br />
The Scene: Bex and Bowie propose to each other<br />
Klutzy girl:</b> Bex and Bowie propose to each other at the same time. It was absolutely adorable and amazing after their previous proposals didn't go as planned. I'm really looking forward to their storyline this season, and can't wait to see what's ahead for them. <b>Also picked by Abi</b><br />

Laura B:</b> This was another incredible season finale, not so much because it was action-packed, but rather the emotional bridge between scenes was just so strong from Jimmy warning a future-self in the form of a young girl named Christina, to not take anyone's garbage to Mike not knowing he's looking in the mirror when having to deal with Ziegler, to the wonky darkness of Lalo creeping around in the day light, to the heartbreaking Abba Karaoke opening sequence, to Kim finding herself shocked by Jimmy's "performance" at the end of the episode. It was truly hard to choose, but this small private scene resonated with me most, because it quite frankly was the metaphorical death of Jimmy McGill, making it the most important.<br />

Samantha:</b> It was obvious throughout the episode that both of the Carringtons are struggling to deal with the aftermath of the fire, and they're of course doing that in their own unique ways but this scene hit me in the feels. Despite how confident she portrays herself to be, there's nothing that Fallon wants more than her father basically being a father to her. She had a lot of struggles last year which Blake didn't really provide much support on, and here we saw Blake struggling which Fallon and Steven weren't really helping with because they were preoccupied by their own issues. I think what's so great about this scene is that neither of them were really wrong. She has Culhane back but some obvious lingering feelings for Liam which she doesn't want to give into, so of course Fallon would try to make a deal with someone else because there's nothing the Carringtons do better than trying to ignore their problems. She was right to call Blake out on seemingly abandoning the family to bask in his grief, and leave them all soldering on and Fallon step up to the plate to keep things going. Blake was also right to call Fallon out on being so self absorbed. He has after all just lost his wife, he's entitled to grieve and being prepared to do a deal with a rival just to avoid strife in her romantic life is incredibly childish. Elizabeth Gillies and Grant Snow are always on top form when Fallon & Blake are going up against each other, because she truly is her father's daughter and it makes for extremely entertaining television.<br />

Aimee T:</b> Saanvi meets with Michaela and Ben to explain her theory about the cause of the mysterious protein / marker in her and Cal's blood. Saanvi determined that the elevated Glutamate levels in their blood could be a sign of ischemia (severely reduced blood flow). Moreover, she concludes that "the potency of this marker is on par with a stroke victim." This would seem to indicate that she and Cal (and presumably the rest of the flight's passengers) underwent a near-death experience where "the faucet of blood circulation had been turned off and then suddenly it was turned on high." Ergo, they were all brought extremely close to death and then pulled back from the brink. This development is intriguing because thus far the fantastical elements of the show seem to be supernatural/divine in nature, and therefore (arguably) not "explainable" in a secular way. However, this discovery provides physical/scientific evidence that the flight passengers experienced a tangible phenomena, which grounds the plot back in "reality." I'm interested to see if the show will continue to introduce both religious and scientific developments to "illuminate" what happened on the flight, especially since that makes for a more compelling story.<br />

Mads:</b> The ending of the episode where Polly and Alice toss the twins into the fire and Betty has a seizure. Clearly Riverdale is just going to go completely off the rails this season and honestly I'm 100% down for that. I've always loved the show most when it's at its craziest so I say bring it on. I have no idea what to expect from this strange cult storyline and while the Goblin King gave me Demogorgon/Stranger Things vibes, I'm intrigued to see if they're going to fold witchcraft into the show's mythos. It seems to be going that way, what with the floating babies and the ritualistic murder scene that came right before it. Also what was Betty's reaction? I could have understood her fainting but it looks like she has a seizure. I have so many questions and even if people think this is jumping the shark, I, for one, am excited to see the gleefully campy and insane twists Riverdale takes this season.<br />

Samantha:</b> So JJ spent most of this episode trying to set Kenneth up with various women which didn't work well, and eventually explained that since he knows Kenneth won't be around as his helper forever, he wants to be Kenneth's wing man so he never loses his friend. Not gonna lie this scene had me tearing up. Kenneth/JJ's relationship is a key part of the show. No matter what happens, they always have each others backs and the unfortunate reality is that JJ is growing up so their relationship will change, and I'm looking forward to seeing how exactly the show explores that.<br />

Justyna:</b> It's only been an episode but I already love the interactions between Barry and Nora. This father-daughter duo was responsible for all my favorite parts of the hour. After an emotional conversation with Iris about watching their daughter grow up and all the things still waiting for them in the future, Barry suddenly realizes that Nora's been lying to them and visits her to ask for the truth. As it turns out, the famous article we've been seeing from season one, about Barry disappearing in 2024, is actually followed by another one, decades later, which reports on the fact that Barry never comes back... What's more, Nora admits that she doesn't even remember her father, which is why she learned everything about him from the Flash Museum, as well as travelled back in time just to meet him. It's clear how much she's looking up to Barry and how much she misses him. They're very much alike, in the way they're acting and thinking, which makes the realization that they never got to spend any time together even more painful. It's a lot for Barry to process ("I missed all your firsts") but he tries to stay strong for Nora and comfort her. Wonderful work by both Grant Gustin and Jessica Parker Kennedy. Kudos to cast & crew for this great premiere! <br />
<b>Naomi:</b> Nora Reveals Barry's Future. Barry realizes that something may have happened to him in the future so he asks Nora to tell him. Switching the 2024 headline to the year 2049, she reveals that Barry never returns to Central City. They are both devastated by the life the future brings to their family, and though Barry is hesitant about Nora travelling in time, he now understands that she made the crazy and dangerous journey just to spend a moment with him. This scene was so heartbreaking and so well acted by Gustin and Kennedy. Bravo!<br />

Justyna:</b> It's been a heartbreaking experience to watch Marcos trying to find Lorna and their daughter but nothing has been as powerful as this moment when he's finally (temporarily) reunited with Polaris and meets Dawn for the very first time. His voice breaking at the sound of her name, the tears in his eyes when he gets to hold her in his arms... It's a beautiful view, but also incredibly sad one knowing he's going to be taken from those he loves a moment later. It's also hard for Lorna, not to fall apart when seeing Marcos again, especially with their baby girl, but it's her choice that landed them in this position. So she has to stay strong, almost cold towards Eclipse, not letting her emotions get in a way. Sean Teale and Emma Dumont did a wonderful job in this moment. It's impossible not to see all the emotions their characters are struggling with during this reunion. And my heart definitely breaks here for Marcos the most. Kudos to cast & crew for all their great work!<br />

Samantha:</b> Erica apologizes to Beverly for her behavior and admits her mum is cool. This show really wouldn't be what it is without Wendi & Hayley. They're both such fantastic actresses capable of pulling off the comedic moments along with the more heartfelt ones. Erica still has a lot to learn about being a grown-up, but to admit that she was the lame one and Beverly gives far more than Erica gives her credit for? It was a huge step in the right direction for them, and outside the sibling moments Beverly/Erica's mother/daughter relationship is the one I love most.<br />
<br />
<b>THE GOOD DOCTOR, "36 Hours", October 8, 2018, Actors: Richard Schiff, Holly Taylor<br />
The Scene: Dr Glassman sees Maddie after his surgery<br />
Abi:</b> Following some complicated brain surgery, Aaron sees Maddie, his daughter. That wouldn't normally be a problem, except for the fact that she's been deceased for a number of years and it's clearly an emotional blow for him. We don't actually know much about her at this point so it'll be interesting to learn more about her and find out if the complications from Glassman's surgery are serious/life threatening and if anyone caught onto them.<br />

<b>Mads:</b> We learn who the Bent Neck Lady is. I loved this reveal. The entire episode was excellent actually but the way we discover that Nell has been the Bent Neck Lady all along is so eerie. When she hangs herself and falls through multiple floors to demonstrate the length time she has haunted that house, it leaves so many questions and theories behind. Victoria delivers a spellbinding performance this episode.<br />

Mads:</b> Nic finally decides to give Conrad a second chance. We finally learned about why Nic and Conrad broke up in the past. It was hinted at all through the first season but we never got a clear reason and in this episode featuring flashbacks of their relationship, we discovered it was due to Nic witnessing a violent outburst from Conrad directed at a man who tried to grope her. Conrad insists that he's changed and Nic finally decides to believe that and trust him. I've been rooting for them since day one due to Emily and Matt's great chemistry so I was thrilled to see them seal the deal with a kiss and decide to fully move forward together in a relationship. I don't know how long that happiness will last but I'm intending to enjoy it while I can.<br />
<b>Beth:</b> Nic shows up at the bar and tells Conrad she loves him and she believes things will be different. Seeing their past was heartbreaking and I appreciated that the show did flashbacks to better understand where they had been. This final scene showed that they are both different and this fresh start may just work this time.<br />
<br />
<b>THE ROMANOFFS, "The Violet Hour", October 12, 2018, Actors: Marthe Keller and more<br />
The Scene: The ending<br />
Laura B:</b> I wasn't sure what to expect from this star-studded anthology series from Matthew Weiner after being a bit disappointed with Mad Men's ending, but I found something hopeful in this first episode that I wasn't expecting. It's not that Weiner didn't preserve his Mad Men themes of wealth, power, class, and obsession, but he gave a contemporary fairy tale story in this first episode that I found refreshing, nicely blending today with the past.<br />

<b>THIS IS US, "Katie Girls", October 9, 2018, Actors: Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore<br />
The Scene: Jack and Rebecca talk at the grocery store<br />
Saloni:</b> Jack and Rebecca at the grocery store, talking in the aisle. This was a very simple scene but it still stood out. TIU always kills it with their emotional dialogues. I loved Jack and Rebecca's talk about their dreams. Jack talks about having a home/kids that was nothing like the one he grew up in. In retrospect, knowing how his life turns out, it's a comforting enough thought.<br />
