Day 9: Best scene ever
For this one, I decided to go with the first scene that popped into my head. I figured it was kind of like a multiple choice test, where you should always go with your first instinct. (BTW, apologies for being so far behind on the comments. I've come down with an annoying head cold and have pretty much been reduced to sleeping, sniffling, and rocking/moaning. Make no mistake, I am a PRIZE right now.)
The last scene in FNL's "Crossing the Line" is sheer perfection to me. Tim comes home from the quad rugby game, where his newly-paralyzed best friend, Jason, has called Tim out for stealing his girlfriend and decked him. Billy, meanwhile, is fixing up a late dinner of a grilled cheese sandwich, sporting bruises of his own from the brother's early knock-down-drag-out fight.
It's a wonderful moment of reconciliation, as Billy and Tim communicate with few words, but the gestures say so much. Billy hands over a bag of frozen peas for Tim's eye. Tim is sheepish but accepts the gesture. Then Billy settles in behind the breakfast bar with TIm, and they share a sandwich and a beer. It's like Communion.
The whole thing is lovingly underplayed and underscored by the haunting Iron and Wine song "Dead Man's Will."
This was the scene that put a knife in my heart and pretty much guaranteed that FNL has become my Show. There was no turning back.

I have a total weakness for brotherly shows, dude.
Btw - have you watched the new season opener yet? So. Good.
