In the year 2020, Echo and the few surviving Dollhouse staff struggle to restore mankind after the devastating events seen in the unaired first season episode, "Epitaph."

I didn’t love Dollhouse as much as I wished I did, but there are key episodes that stand out from the show. The conclusion and last we see of these characters is included in my list. I also wanted to do a scene from this episode when Echo is mourning Paul for my favorite scenes of 2010, but couldn’t find a clip on YouTube. Blast. Best acting by Eliza ever, I think.

When the sole survivor of a building demolished by an earthquake in downtown Manhattan proves to be from the other Earth, Walter leads the team to Jacksonville, the source of a related experiment that he and William conducted years ago.

I loved that in this episode we see the two worlds start to merge, the realization of little Olivia being a test subject, Olivia and Peter getting closer, only to be broken by her finally controlling her power, then the reveal to her of Peter being from the other side.

Stefan helps Elena and Bonnie out of a dangerous situation. When Stefan, Damon and Elena work with Bonnie and Grams to open the tomb, everyone is shocked by what they discover.

We spent the whole season with Damon trying to find Katherine only to discover she’s not in the cave and never cared about him. Then, there’s Stefan getting himself trapped in the cave for Elena. Grams helping Bonnie to open and seal it. Elena hugging Damon and saying he’s sorry. And then the death of Grams.

Joseph Adama reaches out to his son, while his daughter Tamara finds a new side of the virtual world. Daniel suggests a product for Graystone Industries.

This is the first really interesting episode of the series as well follow Tamara in V world and there’s a lot of interesting imagery. Then, finally the character really comes into her own as a badass toting a gun.

Amanda fears for her sanity while Daniel and Joseph close in on their daughters.

I love this episode for the scenes between Lacy and Zoe as she promises she won’t fail her. Then the scenes of Zoe explaining how to make robots with their own identity. Then, lastly Daniel speaking to the robot as Zoe.

Walter remembers the events in 1985 to Olivia, including how Peter ended up where he is today.

This episode was on numerous tops of 2010 lists and with good reason. We finally get to see how Peter came over to our world, what’s the deal with the Observers, and the result of Walter’s decision.

Stefan and Damon make a new enemy, which puts Stefan in a dangerous situation. Meanwhile, Caroline’s car breaks down leading her to a terrible discovery that shocks everyone in Mystic Falls.

I love episodes with Stefan, Elena, and Damon working together. Plus, ramping up the drama with Stefan being kidnapped and I am so there. Character’s in danger always get good material. And Stefan drinking Elena’s blood at the end prepares us for the rest of the season’s arc.

Sherlock Holmes is introduced to ex-army doctor John Watson who he then convinces to help him solve murder mysteries. Their first case together is one that looks, to police, like a case of linked suicides.

This is the episode that started the Sherlock series obsession. Love the story, love the characters, love the one-liners. The other two episodes just can’t beat this one.

Caroline, feeling confused and desperate, joins her friends at the Mystic Falls Carnival after being released from the hospital.

I love this episode so much. Single-handedly takes Caroline from normal teenager to BAMF. Her transition is amazing to watch. The fact she gets to beat up on Damon. Bonnie taking her revenge out on Damon. Stefan helping out Caroline was so sweet. And the ending with Stefan and Elena as they remind each other, they can’t forget to live.

Zoe, believing that Tamara holds the key to a higher purpose, seeks the girl known to New Cap City as The Death walker in the most dangerous places.

There was some gorgeous imagery in this episode. Zoe, little Zoe, Zoe and robot/avatar Zoe. We see how she designed the Cylons. Her finally teaming up with Tamara. I’d love to read more from BSG fans and see what it all meant. A big mind fuck episode.

Despite Elena’s efforts to keep Jeremy safe, he offers to help Damon and Alaric deal with Katherine. Bonnie accidentally discovers new information about Mason and shares it with Stefan, leading Damon to take matters into his own hands.

So much goodness in this episode, too. This is why I have so many episodes from this show. I loved Elena and Stefan being cutesy. Bonnie finally helps them out and questionably tricks Mason into the hands of Damon who tortures him and rips out his heart. Elena saving poor Stefan in the well. Caroline compelling her mother to forget everything to save her friends. Katherine compelling Jenna and then Matt. And Stefan and Elena breaking up for the good of everyone. Wow.

En route to a training exercise, a bus filled with Division recruits, including Alex and Thom, is attacked by terrorists.

I love Alex more than any of the other characters, but I think most will agree that this was the most exciting episode so far. Being held captive, thinking Thom is dead, escaping from Division, calling Nikita, and then being taken back Michael. Plus, the Michael/Alex moments were rampant this episode.

Damon and Stefan devise a new plan to deal with Katherine at the Lockwood’s masquerade ball. Bonnie, Alaric, and Jeremy do their best to help Stefan and Damon with their plan, but Katherine has a surprise that none of them expected.

I watched this episode with my girlfriends and it was a pretty exciting ride. I thought someone was going to die the whole way through. I loved seeing Katherine in action, killing a girl on the dance floor, playing coy with Stefan and Damon, Elena being hurt everytime she’s attacked. Then, there’s Katherine finally being locked away in the cave where she still remains.

Elena is put in peril when as she searches for information about Katherine’s past. Knowing that Stefan would disagree with her plan, Elena swears Caroline to secrecy.

I always love flashback episodes and this one is no exception. We finally get a look into Katherine’s past and understand how she became a vampire and the deal with the whole curse. I also loved the scene at the end with Elena crying to Stefan and admitting everyone in her life is in danger not because of him but because of her.

Alisha is surprised to find out that the mysterious masked man is not affected by her power when he rescues her from a mugging and decides to find out more about him.

This episode single-handedly doubled the number of fans for the show. All season there’s been a masked character at work, and now the big reveal and the payoff is huge. Love it, love it.

The gang reaches fame and fortune as super-heroes called the ‘ASBO Five’ after the existence of super-powers becomes widely known. However, soon the gang is in deep trouble when a killer with a bizarre power of his own targets them.

I had to include this episode because it kept me on the edge of my seat. The reveal, the deaths, the musical moments. There were so many good moments and so many references to earlier episodes. I love the way everything connects together on this show.

The music choices in Misfits are already beautiful enough, but then they get Beetroot to do the instrumentals and it’s even better. I love this scene because it’s so tragic for Simon to find everyone he loves dead. And then to make that final transformation to become his future self.

On the whole this movie was very moving to me. But the end, as Tyler says goodbye to his friends while he goes out for the day, finally makes peace inside with his father, and then we pull out…

The whole first half of the first season we’re left wondering what’s the deal with Elena and why does she look like Katherine. Finally, Stefan reveals she was adopted. But that’s not all, he was also there when her parents died and he saved her. And then he finally admits how much he loves her and the difference between her and Katherine.

I love this scene because we finally get Cate, Baze, and Lux in a room together hashing all of their past out. They all think they’re working things out, but now they realize they still have a long way to go. Every time I watch this it makes me tear.

The moment us fans have been waiting for and my favorite chapter of the books. Plus, I love the way the music crescendos just as she leaps into his arms. So beautiful.

I love that we get to see Stefan go crazy from the blood. Elena is strong in what she needs to do. And Elena and Damon work together to help him. Damon is so sweet staying behind to wait with her.

After watching and loving the series, I was saddened and surprised to see it end on a cliffhanger. It’s like, wait that’s it? I have to wait a year? Gimme more. I also love the final reveal of Moriarty. And the way despite what Sherlock says about not caring about people and living for the work, there’s still a difference between him and Sherlock. He does have a heart. He can care about people, and it begins with Watson.

OMG, this scene. Of course it breaks my heart as a fan of Elena/Stefan, but the acting and their crying are perfection. Then, I always love it when Damon gets included in a scene between the two of them. The look on his face after seeing her crying is also heartbreaking.

Again, with the Beetroot music making a scene. The whole time watching this scene I spent it with my mouth dropped open and couldn’t believe the reveal was happening in this way. I loved the mood, the music, and everything of this scene.

I was not expecting this scene when watching the episode at all. I mean, who would’ve thought? But it was so hot, sensual, and sweet. And the after sex talk? *gush* And Foal – Spanish Sahara just makes it all even better.

Somehow I think we all felt it coming. We got one episode of future!Simon and bliss, then it all hearbreakingly ended. What can be worse than having to set the man you love’s body on fire? And again, the music and they lyrics works so well with the scene. This time Massive Attack – Paradise Circus

Elena made a deal with Elijah to get Stefan out of the cave, but I didn’t expect him to turn up at her place. But then the excitement as they saw each other, the kisses, the making out. It reminded me of the first season when she saw him outside her window. You have no idea how sweet and how giddy the whole scene made me. Back together, baby!
