killabeezDay 09 - Best scene ever
Melina is so right, this one is hard. Even shows that are badly flawed can have moments of genius, and I thought of so many possible answers to this, it made my head hurt. The first three that came to mind:
-- but since it's a meme about TV shows and those are all from the movies, that felt like cheating.
I thought about the scene that made me a Buffy fan ("The Gift"):
The scene that made me an Angel fan ("Power Play"):
The scene that made me forever and always a Miracles fan ("Paul Is Dead"):
Of course, no scene ever made me cry as much as this scene from Supernatural ("All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2"):
The choice of my heart is (predictably), the Jimmy scene from Highlander's "Comes a Horseman," 1996:
But the category is best scene, not favorite. And so, in the end, I have to go with this sequence from Deadwood. The episode is "Here was a Man," season 1, episode 4, and there is only one line of dialogue. It still gives me chills.
Best scene ever... until I change my mind. :D

You know with all this Highlander pimpage I may have to put aside my Christopher Lambert adoring and give the TV show another go.

Date: 2010-06-13 01:35 pm (UTC)It's the second to last episode, where Angel decides to make his crazy play to take down Wolfram & Hart. He gathers everyone in his office and asks them who's willing to join him on his suicide play.
"10-to-1, we're gone when the smoke clears. They will do everything in their power to destroy us. So...I need you to be sure. Power endures. We can't bring down the senior partners, but for one bright, shining moment, we can show them that they don't own us. You need to decide for yourselves if that's worth dying for. I can't order you to do this. I can't do it without you. So we'll vote. As a team. Think about what I'm asking you to do, think about what I'm asking you to give."
I love how they are all positioned in that perfect five-pointed circle, with so much space between them. Each of them has to make the decision for himself. The team is really broken at that point, but somehow, Angel pulls them together.
