If 2014 was a year of great television (and it was) much of that was built around memorable scenes or just all around great shows. Those moments can make you say, “DAMN”, cry, or simply, “how could they” or even leave you too speechless to put words to what just happened. But that’s what makes the memories and best moments right?
Picking just a few moments, when TV was so great this year was not an easy task. But some scenes, stick with you. Watching thousands of hours (or so it seemed) and the haze of blahs and gasps with things sometimes melding into one did not make it easy to pick. I think I narrowed it to some of the best of the best. To be honest I could make this list the top 20 or even 100, and still not touch on everyones faves. If we missed yours, then please comment at the end of the article and let us know what we missed and what are some of your faves.
These are in no particular order..
Game of Thrones – When the dreaded King Joffrey was offed. I have to say, I was never more delighted when a character was killed off of my fave show. It was brutal and gruesome and a perfect way for such a hated and heinous character to die.
This is tied with my other fave GoT moment..
The Viper faces off with the Mountain, standing in as champion for the accused Tyrion (Peter Dinklage). And once again, mother is proven right: Never take time to deliver a monologue during a fight.
Outlander– The famed book series finally came to the small screen via Starz. For years we have read the books and imagined Jamie, Claire and Frank in our minds, but finally we had a look at them for ourselves when the show debuted to record ratings on August 9, 2014.
Olicity! 
Finally the moment Arrow fans were waiting for, the kiss. It made us swoon and our hearts race longing for more. Followed by Oliver’s admission that he loves her.“The Calm” – (aired October 8, 2014)
The Flash – We met Barry Allen briefly in Arrow and then he gets his own spinoff! I mean is it the year of the comic book TV/Movie year or what? The Date was October 7, 2014
The Vampire Diaries – The Date was May 15, 2014 “home” and it was the season finale. And Julie Plec and The CW never seem to disappoint us with major cliffhangers that make our guts twist and long for the season to be starting the next day. This episode was fun, and awesome and then gut wrenching agony. Saying goodbye to Bonnie and Damon was like saying goodbye to our own best friend and boyfriend. What could be worse?
The Librarians – After three successful TV movies, TNT finally had the sense to bring the show full circle and give it a weekly show. Seeing Christian Kane, Noah Wyle, Rebecca Romijn and John Larroquette all on one show is genius. Adding the quirkiness of Lindy Booth as Cassandra and John Kim as the carefree Ezekiel Jones, no rules pertain to him in this modern twist of tales is brilliant. 
An adventure in every show and a history lesson to boot. Nothing can be better! When librarians get together and put their minds to it, nothing can stop them, or can it?
Dancing with the Stars – “The Carlton” solidifies Alfonso Riberio as the champion as he brings back his trademark dance from his days back on the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire.

Castle – CASKETT finally exists! When Kate and Castle were about to say their ‘I Do’s’ and then it was a big case (in true Castle fashion) of I Don’ts, it made us weep and scream and cry. But the writers couldn’t resist doing it true Kate style with a small intimate wedding just them saying I Do and make fans squeal with glee and delight.
The Big Bang Theory – In a disarmingly tender moment, Sheldon (Jim Parsons) tells Amy (Mayim Bialik) that he loves her, too. The big “Aw” from the audience was doubtless echoed in millions of homes.
Masters of Sex – The third episode was almost a two-character play, featuring the sex researchers/lovers Masters and Johnson (Michael Sheen, Lizzy Caplan) together in a hotel room. Perhaps not a better written or played individual hour all year.
Sons of Anarchy (FX) – Season 7, Episode 12 – Jax Kills Gemma. In all the murder and death that had taken place up until the penultimate episode, I never once thought that Jax, Gemma or really any other club members would die. Yes, this is incredibly naive of me. However, the moment that Jax walked into his grandfather’s house and told Wayne to leave, I knew he intended to put his mother down. After Jax killed Wayne and listened to Gemma talk about the olden days, I thought that maybe he’d be swayed the other way. Taking his mother out to the rose garden was the last kind act he showed the woman who pretty much signed his own death warrant. Looking back, I can honestly say that Sons of Anarchy could have not ended any other way. But, damn if it didn’t leave me speechless anyway.
The Oscars – Lupita Nyong’o Wins Best Supporting Actress Beautiful performance, beautiful dress, beautiful person, beautiful speech.?
Sleepy Hollow (Fox) Ep. 13, “Bad Blood” – The epic nine-minute reveal at the end of the season 1 finale.
“It could’ve felt like “just the biggest exposition dump in the history of TV,” to quote executive producer Alex Kurtzman. But being a part of producers’ plans from the start, the twist—increasingly affable Sin Eater Henry Parrish (John Noble) is actually the son of Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and Katrina (Katia Winter), and the Second Horseman of the Apocalypse—will go down as one of the TV season’s biggest, most satisfying surprises. “We kept using as a touchstone The Usual Suspects,” Kurtzman tells EW. “You’re watching the movie having one experience, but by the end, you realize you’ve been set up so inevitably for the reveal that was in front of you the whole time.” —Mandi Bierly”
Orphan Black (BBC America) Ep. 3, “Mingling Its Own Nature With It” – Cosima watches her clone Jennifer waste away in a video journal.
“Jennifer Fitzsimmons’ death may have stretched over months, but actress Tatiana Maslany was able to draw a full portrait of her in less than two minutes with a briskly stitched tapestry of confessional recordings. —Lanford Beard”
Sherlock (PBS) Ep. 2, “The Sign of Three”- Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) delivers his best man speech for Watson (Martin Freeman).
It’s not just that, when Sherlock raises his glass, he makes the wedding guests laugh (“big, squishy cuddles!”) and blink back big, squishy tears (“I never expected to be anybody’s best friend.”) It’s not just that he solves one mind-bending mystery in the process, and recounts a few others, including one that involves a poison-dart-blowing dwarf. It’s that he delivers a genuinely poignant tribute to one of the all-time great loves—not the one between the bride and groom, but the one between Sherlock and Watson, a friendship so intimate, its kind is rarely seen between men on TV. All of this, plus Sherlock somehow manages to use the words “doom of… our entire species” without ruining the wedding. Best men everywhere, take notes.
