2008 has to be one of the best years for media in recent memory. From excellent movies such as The Dark Knight, Iron Man, and Tropic Thunder, to amazing seasons of Dexter, Lost, and Burn Notice, 2008 has been a memorable one. I wanted to sit down and take some time to talk about my favorite TV moments of 2008.
10. Micheal getting blown away - Burn Notice
I have talked about my love for Burn Notice on my blog before, and the ending to Season 2 was no exception. The season finale brought Michael closer to find out who burned him, but at the cost of being burned himself. The cliffhanger had me on the edge of my seat wanting more.
9. Chuck and Casey's kiss - Chuck
One of the funniest moments, Casey is on the verge of death due to biological attack and Chuck thinks that he might be able to save him by kissing him. (Note: Chuck had injected himself with the anti dote). Thus, our hero thinks the best way to save his friend is try and kiss him. The resistance of Casey had me rolling.
8. Doomsday kidnapping Chloe - Smallville
Having your wedding day ruined is one thing, but having your husband get his chest ripped opened, and being kidnapped by a monster? That's something else. Perfect mid season cliffhanger and will set the tone for the rest of Season 8 of Smallville.
7. Sylar wants Cake - Heroes
Despite Heroes problems this season, Sylar killing a office worker on her birthday in cold blood, and then offering her co-workers cake before killing them is one of the scariest/most awesome things ever. It's moments like these that make me love Sylar as a character.
6. Chuck, Tom Sawyer, and Missile Command - Chuck
Combining one of the greatest retro games of all time with one of the greatest songs of all time is all sorts of awesome.
5. Liz Lemon meeting Oprah - 30 Rock
30 Rock is hands down one of the best shows out there right now, and Liz finally getting to "meet" her idol was worth all of Liz's oozing of her.
4. Jim and Pam finally getting together - The Office
This is the couple that we all have been rooting for for years. Jim's proposal to Pam in the rain was romantic and heart felt, and totally out of left field. Much like with 30 Rock, this moment had been building for years, and the payoff was more than worth the wait.
3. Cromartie's Death - Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles
The take down of one of the baddest Terminators took one awesome combined effort from Sarah, Cameron, Derek, and Ellison. John putting the final bullet in the tin can was fitting for the future leader of mankind.
2. The Constant - Lost
This was another touching moment that was years in the making. Desmond's Christmas Eve conversation with Penny was touching, and even made me tear up a little. It's moments like that really make me love Lost.
1. Dexter killing Miguel - Dexter
However, my moment of the year has to go to Dexter. Dexter, finally found a friend in DA Miguel, but Dexter is clearly someone that will go without friends. However, the icing on the cake was Dexter telling Miguel that he killed Miguel's brother. The look on Miguel's face was priceless. Tragic events will continue to occur for our beloved Dexter Morgan, but it seems that everything is going in his way....for now.
So what you do you all think? Great moments? Did I miss one of your favorites from 2008? Sound off in the comments!
