Seriously one of the best season finales ever
Numbskull14 t1_j26c9fu wrote
Totally agree. I think it was the best season finale since Ned stark’s head getting cut off, in my opinion. Such a great season of television.
Edit: I forgot Ned Stark wasn’t the finale. I saw that however many years ago when it came out. The point is more that Severance is the best season of TV since GOT S1, imo, excluding maybe True detective S1 but that was a stand-alone that I look at differently.
KingMilk55 t1_j26wep1 wrote
Ned Starks beheading wasnt even in the finale, but the S1 GoT finale still had some amazing moments (the King in the North chant being the best imo)
WildcatKid t1_j29ilyg wrote

The only new show in recent memory where the first season was more than enough for me to know that it's gonna be one of my absolute favorite series by the time it wraps up. Amazing show.
Numbskull14 t1_j28lhv5 wrote
Yes most definitely. Worth paying for Apple TV plus for a month just to watch that

tbh, I'd wait till season 2 is gonna come out soon.

As far as the submissions go, the second half of the season counts from episodes 8-13, she was in 8,9,12 and 13, so 4 of the 6 episodes

Better Call Saul - Like... all of it?
House of Dragon - Vhagar eating
The Bear - you know the episode
ThisIsCreation t1_j25sb48 wrote
My favourite moment was Lalo Salamanca entering Jimmy's apartment in Better Call Saul. The way it's framed with the candle & Kim & Jimmy's reaction, it's like a scene from a horror.
Freakazoidberg t1_j28xyd3 wrote
Great suggestion!
Yeah that scene was one of the most memorable scenes for me in the show. And it was well foreshadowed but we still don't see it coming because the whole time I was wrapped up in Howard dressing down Kim and Jimmy and then enters Lalo like the death reckoning wiping out the candle light.

WatchBat t1_j26u5js wrote
>What was your favourite/best television moment of 2022?
I have several, so in no particular order
-
Obi-Wan Kenobi:- Vader's scene in the village in ep3, and the broken mask in ep6
-
Stranger Things:- The entire "Dear Billy" episode, but especially Max's confrontation and escape from Vecna
-
Andor:- the Eye in ep6, Keno's speech in ep10 and "I can't swim"
-
In Rings of Power:- Seeing Khazad-dûm in all its glory
-
House of the Dragon:- the finale dragon chase, Alicent's green dress entrance in ep5, the aftermath of the children's fight in ep7
This one is an extra, the show was released last year but I watched it this year. Arcane:- all of it but especially ep6, the torch scene
Edit:- I wanna add The Sandman:- 24/7 and A Dream of a Thousand Cats
pardybill t1_j282h6x wrote
Arcane deserves a bit of honorable mention.
And I agree with Rings and Kenobi, despite the Reddit hate for both.
For All Mankind I think is one that’s underrated here
theredditoro t1_j2954qb wrote
Rings was stunning to look at. And the score in that scene was awesome.
WatchBat t1_j297egg wrote
Definitely. Númenor, the elven kingdoms, the Trees!! Say what you will about the writing but the visuals were breathtaking.
I only mentioned Khazad-dûm because it was my favorite

Wait, did both of these things actually happen? Guess I will have to watch the ending of the show after all.
19Jamie93 OP t1_j25vxtr wrote
Worth a watch for sure. Been watching that show since i was in school
Forsaken_Tip_596 t1_j267ml4 wrote
The series finale itself is a good series finale closing the main show of the Walking Dead and leaving the door open for future sequels. While Season 8 was by far the worst season in its run, I have really enjoyed seasons 9-11. Angela Kang did a great job at bringing the show back. I’ve been watching the series since Season 2 live. Even though the main series has ended I’m definitely looking forward to Season 8 of Fear The Walking Dead (the return of Madison Clarke), and the upcoming spin-offs:
-
The Walking Dead: Dead City (Maggie/Negan spin-off set in NYC)
-
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (Working Title) (Daryl Spin-off set in Paris, France following the post-credit scene of TWD: World Beyond)
-
The Walking Dead: Summit (Working Title) (Rick and Michonne Spin-off set in Philadelphia/New Jersey, dealing with the CRM).
Edit: Yes, both of those things DID actually happen in the Series Finale
tigolebities t1_j2a2oy1 wrote
Maggie and NEGAN? How does that even make sense.
Loganp812 t1_j28ya83 wrote
Even though it's kind of a bastardized adaptation of that speech compared to the context in the comics.
It's a big full-circle moment for Rick in the comics which, granted, couldn't really work in the show given that he was absent for nearly three full seasons.
Still, I'm glad they did it, and I think the show did the best it could with the final season and the ending given that a certain, specific death in Season 8 basically meant that the show couldn't do the comic's ending anyway.

In no particular order:
- Father Brice's exit on Chucky (the whole episode was so good!!)
- Jackie's demise on Yellowjackets
- Literally everything about Maryanne on Survivor 42, particularly her slam dunk FTC performance
- Cristin Milioti's performance on The Resort
- Mr. Brightside playing in the finale of Tell Me Lies (it was *chef's kiss*)
- Jesse and Cody's handshake on Survivor 43
- Kody saying he got a KNIFE IN THE KIDNEYS on Sister Wives
- The final scene in the first episode of George & Tammy
- Funeral by Phoebe Bridgers playing on The Summer I Turned Pretty
- Amanda Seyfried and Naveen Andrews' chemistry on The Dropout
- All the scenes where Dana flashes back to the present in Kindred, just absolutely visceral to watch

Yeah, I feel like the show layered an orchestral version OVER the 85 original. Would that be a remix, if it’s two version played simultaneously?

I personally couldn't stand Alice in borderland finale. In my opinion the worst episode of the show by far
without going into spoilers, the result and the idea behind what happens in the end is beautiful but holy fucking shit did we not need those 60 thousand monologues and fakeouts. they could and should have cut about 25-35 minutes of that episode.

Some great consensus around Andor, Better Call Saul, The Bear, Severance, HotD and others in here. Will throw in some others I didn’t see as much:
Afterparty - the entire series. It’s a lot of fun.
Atlanta - great finale season and the episode about the Goofy Movie is S tier.
Barry - the series doesn’t miss but the motorcycle chase in 710N was chefs kiss.
Black Bird - solid mini series and Paul Walter Hauser’s performance is award worthy.
For All Mankind - I know this season didn’t get quite as much love as the previous two but still such a thrill for me and the end….
Kevin Can F Himself - underwatched show with a unique premise. Glad it got a second season to close out and that scene in the finale is worth it all.
sillystevedore t1_j29zofr wrote
Here’s a bunch:
- At the end of Reservation Dogs, when Daniel shows up, for a fleeting moment, in the group hug on the beach.
- The moment in Andor when Bix, who’s still locked up post-interrogation, is listening to Maarva’s speech and trying to lean out the window to feel the slightest bit closer to her.
- Jimmy and Kim sharing one last cigarette in the most noir lighting you’ve ever seen in Better Call Saul.
- The riveting Harper/Jesse/Rishi negotiation in which Rishi ends up getting screwed over, in Industry.
- Jackson Lamb’s anti-inspiring speech in the park in the first season of Slow Horses.
sillystevedore t1_j2a13ar wrote
Could also add like nine other Andor moments. Dedra Meero undressing her ISB colleague and taking over his sector in the episode “Announcement.” Luthen’s haunting speech. Mon Mothma’s capping off her approach to a fellow rebel-sympathizer colleague with the “perhaps my politics are too strong for your taste” line. I can keep going!
