TOP 5 RACHEL SCENES

1. Rachel beats Sarah’s ass. Rachel stabs Sarah in the leg. Rachel presses on the knife with her cane. “You’re not immune to me, you cockroach.” “I’m the chosen daughter.” “This is mine. My time.” A fan fiction masterpiece, only it’s a real scene that happened.

2. Rachel gouges her eye out. Never have I cheered so hard while also wanting to crawl out of my own skin.

3. Rachel kidnaps Kira. Yeah, she got kidnapped every other episode, but no one did it quite like Rachel. No one snaps quite like Rachel.

4. Rachel does stuff with Paul. Is this scene gross or good? I say good. She makes him pour himself a glass of wine and then he doesn’t get to drink the wine. Fuck you, Paul. Take off your shirt.

5. Rachel puts a big needle in Cosima’s tummy. I’m still not totally sure what this scene is, but I like it?

10 OTHER GOOD SCENES IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER THAT I CAN’T NECESSARILY SAY ARE MY FAVORITES, JUST SCENES THAT SPRANG TO MIND

1. First episode, first scene. In a way, they never really topped this one, but can you really blame them? Other shows wish they could have an opening this good.

2. Krystal and Felix at the nail salon. We fell in love with this new character in like 5-10 minutes, and I think that’s pretty magical. She’s written kind of differently after this episode, but this is still the definitive Krystal to me.

3. Beth and MK at Beth’s apartment. THIS SCENE. “Please don’t leave me. I need you.” GOD.

4. CLONE DANCE PARTY

5. Sisters hanging out in Alison’s backyard. They’re all scared and they all make mistakes but THEY HAVE EACH OTHER. I just rewatched this scene and immediately teared up. It’s good. It’s good.

6. Paul blows himself up. It’s got Paul and Rudy and Coady, who gives a shit, right? I know. Somehow it’s still good.

7. Alison confronts Rachel. Rachel has never given her a second thought, and Alison manages to shake her to her core. I’m… very proud.

8. Sarah drunk on a bridge. This scene spawned two fics, so it has to be good. Seeing Sarah hit rock bottom sucks, but this is the kind of meaty character stuff the show needed more of. It feels like a glimpse at pre-canon Sarah.

9. Cosima and Evie and Kendall and the van. Oh yeah, the scene that led to Sarah drunk on a bridge is also good. Evie was a good villain, and she wasn’t even a clone.
