As the year comes to a close, the annual Twitter tradition of recalling the year’s best television lines has come around. Using the hashtag #BestTVLines2017, Variety‘s Maureen Ryan and Uproxx TV critic Alan Sepinwall kicked things off on Monday.
Ryan initiated with Olenna Tyrell’s (Diana Rigg) defiant words on “Game of Thrones”: “Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.” Sepinwall replied, saying, “Get your hashtags and quotes ready, boys and girls,” then offered up, “That’s the guy I was telling you about,” from “The Leftovers.”
“Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.” @GameofThrones #BestTVLines2017
Join the annual tradition! Tweet your #BestTVLines2017! @sepinwall, your turn.
