Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do!

Oh my goodness, today's topic is such a hard one, I've been mulling over it all day:

Day 09 - Best scene ever

I could probably answer all of these types of questions with answers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer but that seems silly considering the ridiculous amount of TV that I watch. And just because I didn't want to include Buffy, it didn't stop me from pondering this scene:

- The season two finale of BtVS where Angel regains his soul but the world's still going to end so Buffy has enough time to kiss him and tell him to close his eyes before sending him to hell.



I also pondered these scenes:

- Rory graduates from high school on Gilmore Girls (season 3 finale). I'm pretty sure I was as proud as Lorelai, Luke, Sookie and the grandparents!

- That screaming match in the pilot of Everwood where Ephram screams at his dad that he hates him and his dad (Andy Brown) screams it right back.

However, I decided to go with one of those scenes that totally shocks you and causes you to reassess everything you knew and wonder exactly what this show is all about. Also, the scene is brilliantly acted and it is....

The final sequence of "Walkabout" (4th episode in season 1 of Lost) in which we learn that John Locke had been unable to walk before the crash.

A brilliant revelation in one of the best episodes of Lost ever which established we were going on a wacky ride with this show! However, the scene is grounded in the always phenomenal acting by Terry O'Quinn who has viewers feeling anger and despair along with him as he shouts "Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do!" And then when we revisit him moving his foot and standing after the crash, we experience that joy and wonder with him. A scene that had me hooked on the show and on Terry O'Quinn's brilliantly portrayed John Locke!

So tomorrow I will talk about: A show you thought you wouldn't like but ended up loving
