We don’t have any candy hearts or roses on hand, but we’ve found another way to celebrate the TV we love this Valentine’s Day: with a spot in our Quotes of the Week! (Romantic, eh?)
Broadcast, cable and streaming series alike are included in our latest compilation, which gathers the wittiest, most heartfelt and/or all-around most memorable TV dialogue from the past seven days.
This time around, we’ve got a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it (or rather, Quicksilver-fast) meta moment on WandaVision, Higgins’ delightful use of British slang on Magnum P.I., even more proof that Resident Alien‘s title character has some growing up to do, and Red’s moving tribute to a dear friend on The Blacklist.
Also featured in this week’s roundup: a double dose of Firefly Lane, plus sound bites from All Rise, Legacies, Prodigal Son, Last Man Standing and more shows.
Scroll through the list below to see all of our picks for the week, then hit the comments and tell us if we missed any of your faves!
