osprey_archerDay 09 - Best scene ever.
So many shows, so many scenes! But I still have Desperate Romantics on my mind, so I’m going to have to say the scene where Fred tells William Holman Hunt off for the way that he’s been treating Annie. I love this scene because it’s a sort of apotheosis for Fred, who transcends his usual nebbishiness by telling Hunt the exact truth about himself, and because it’s so rare for people (particularly men) on TV shows to be truly called on the extent of their assholishness.
Oh, man. But there’s also that absolutely fabulous scene in the first series of The Borgias, where Lucrezia rides across the battlefield between the French and Papal armies, with her long pale blue cloak fluttering behind her, to parlay with her brother and hopefully stop the French from sacking Rome. Oh God, that is the loveliest scene, it makes me catch my breath just thinking of it.
