Probably the two best episodes of medical drama I've ever seen aired.

Surprised there is no Six Feet Under references up in here.

I'd submit that for all the Sopranos and The Shield did, ER was the genesis of the golden age of TV. And the first 2 seasons of Grey's Anatomy is epic TV, no matter how melodramatic it got subsequently. EPIC TV. I probably cried every 3 episodes at least. And I'm talking wailing and curling up on my bed. If you can suppress your souring on the genre, I'd recommend go back there. Michael Chrichton and John Wells, the writing alone. Then Shonda Rimes. Titans IMO, up there with Milch and WAAAAAY the **** ahead of Sorkin.

A comedy where a lead actor's best friend was the Greek chorus for the whole episode, only to find out he;d been dead the whole time and the lead character was in denial the whole time. Great angle. Silly and funny throughout than a gut punch at the end. Wow "Where do think we are?" - ****ing WOW, that's a moment that simultaneously makes you want to curl in a corner and want it all to end and go out and express your love to everyone important in your life.

That brings up other questions, do you seek catharsis in fictional death? And do you desire to activate an urge to seek out the important connections in your lives from them?
Or do you just want awesome gore?

I had forgotten Crichton was one of the original writers. You have convinced me to give it a second shot. |

The Walking Dead - The scene where Rick takes a machete and plants it into the prisoner's cranium.
Gruesome awesomeness!

Four HBO deaths were striking to me, maybe not the best, but three that shocked me in the manner and timing of the show.
Christopher Moltisanti, Phil Leatardo, and Richie Aprile on the Sopranos. and Jimmy Darmody on Boardwalk Empire. Was not ready for that one and was unsure what it would do to the show. Not sorry if this spoils the show for some of you, it's been 18 months already! |

Two that I've watched in the last couple of days:
(Couldn't find the whole scene for wes, with Illyria asking if it's time to lie to him, but it was a great full circle kind of scene - it ends when the crappy music comes in, obviously) |
