The Last of Us S01 E03 – Love in the Time of Cordyceps

We open in the woods, 10 miles west of Boston. Gentle guitar notes play while Joel plunges his mangled hand (the one he injured beating the crap out of the guy at the end of the first episode) into a beautiful stream. I could gush over the way they film nature in this show all day.

Dawson’s Creek S03 E04 – FOR THE ORPHANS!

Shrine O’Spielberg. Pacey struts in with some outdated film technology. Dawson’s working on a documentary for his mother that might air this Friday. (Why no one employed by her station can actually film this thing is a question only the Great Contrivance Spirit can answer.) Pacey just can’t believe Dawson’s willing to stop focusing on fantasy and film something real, even for a second.
Kirsti: Meanwhile, I spent this scene being distracted about the fact that Pacey's brought the gun show to town...
Diva: YUM.

Dollhouse S01 E11 – Princely Rescuing

A man rummages through a pile of trash in a dark alley. He sees a hand and instead of being like, "hell no!" he goes in for a closer look. The hand reaches out and grabs him. What were you expecting, guy? (S: Even worse than Mickey investigating that crazy trash can.)
At an orphanage, Echo reads Briar Rose (Sleeping Beauty) to a group of children because no one can read better than a doll. Just think of all the jobs dolls are stealing from capable people who need them. Plus, dolls cost way more money! Anyway, a girl standing away from the rest of the children calls the story crap.
