My OperaTop three awesome scenes in TV 2010
Tuesday, January 4, 2011 4:49:50 PM
I went through my list of shows I saw this year. On every show, I stopped and thought if any scene stood out in my memory to the extent that I truly remember it as awesome.
This is the resulting list. (Note that this list originated as an answer to Jon Kleiven's formspring question.
Justified
* The shooting in the beginning of the pilot
Breaking Bad
* Hank's fight to the death against the twins.
* Walter on the phone towards the end of the season finale.
Dollhouse
* Boyd's reveal as the villain.
(I had "Victor as Topher" and "Saunders' departure" on this list too, but then I recalled, those episodes aired in 2009)
Boardwalk Empire
* "I was not going to but now you have kind of talked me into it."
Caprica
* "Today I'm a terrorist. Tomorrow, I'm going to be _me_ again."
* The gleefully insane amount of security measures in the Greystone mansion.
Community
* Chang blowing himself up in Modern Warfare
* Abed on the parking lot as the Meta Saviour
Sherlock
* The red laser aims popping up everywhere in the end of The Great Game.
24
* That time Bauer got so frustrated over not getting through on the phone he almost swore. That was sweet.
* Bauer in the extreme armor attack of Logan's limo.
Lost
* The moment shared between Ben and Hurley in the finale.
True Blood
* "Tiffany, the weather."
Smallville
* Lionel opening the umbrella at the end of "Luthor"
So. Which are the best three? I would need to rewatch all of the above, of course, but here is my best guess:
- Hank's fight to the death on the parking lot (Breaking Bad).
- Chung blowing himself up, paintball-style (Community)
- Russell's TV spot. (True Blood)
Close runner-ups: Lionel's return (Smallville), the final phonecall (Breaking Bad) and the guy who talked himself into getting shot in the head (Boardwalk Empire)
Disclaimer: I will of course modify this list, and even the winners, if someone reminds me of a truly awesome scene which slipped my mind in making this list. My memory is commonly and generally acknowledged as shite.
So, which were your three?

I am also rather certain there were several great Justified-moments, and at least two House-moments, that warrant mentioning, but I never rewatched either show this year, and somehow hardly anything came to mind upon trying to recall stuff. I am sure that had I the time and energy to go through an episode list, though, they would both be better represented here. I am also rather sure the Man in Black must have had at least one or two moments on "Lost" that warranted inclusion, but again, my memory, my memory...
