Top Ten Shows:
1. The Originals- One of their best episodes ever, all around. Utter perfection.2. Agents of SHIELD - Week to week, I can't get over how excellent this show has become. I always loved it, but ever since Ward's big reveal, just wow.
3. The Mentalist - Great, suspenseful new case for a bit of welcome return to a serialized format.
4. Arrow - Is anyone else worried that Felicity is the other person Slade wants to kill?!
5. The Vampire Diaries - A fun hour packed with flirtatious good times and some cool twists, even though the Travelers are still lame.
6. Revolution - As I've gone over quite thoroughly here, I had some problems with the Rachel and Monroe part of this episode. But Charlie and Neville's confrontation, and Miles' breakdown and survival? Amazing.
7. Revenge - Conrad, you fiend! I'm loving how Melrose Place OTT the show is while maintaining its intensity and emotional anchorage.
8. Reign - Mary and Francis and Bash and Kenna...an epic love square.
9. Once Upon a Time - I think Emma should be a bit more understanding towards Hook, know what I mean, mate?
10. Elementary - Mycroft is one shifty, annoying bastard. Still, this plotline is letting Holmes freak out and show his feelings for Watson a lot, which I enjoy!
1. Hayley/Elijah, The Originals - A gorgeous first kiss!
2. Jisbon, The Mentalist - Jane, just admit how you feel about Lisbon! Simon Baker's performance in that last scene was exceptional. And did you see Lisbon look back at Jane through the door? Of course, I added this scene to my Jisbon best of list!
3. Skye/Ward, Agents of SHIELD - The angst of this situation is utterly delicious.
4. Charloe, Revolution - Till the wheels fall off.
5. Delena, The Vampire Diaries - So effing adorable this week.
6. Olicity, Arrow - Sigh, the repressed longing!
7. Regina/Robin and Captain Swan, Once Upon a Time - Come on, Emma, you know Hook was only trying to protect you and Henry. And Regina is so cute with Robin.
8. Mash, Reign - Holding out for them in a very difficult state of affairs.
9. Holmes/Watson, Elementary - Back off of this situation, Mycroft. Ha!
10. Emily/Jack, and I have to admit, Victoria/Conrad, Revenge! - I want to see more Emily/Jack scenes ASAP. And Victoria/Conrad continues to be my guilty pleasure ship.
