the quotes
"Ghost" 1.01
Echo: Did I fall asleep?
Topher: For a little while.

Topher: You see someone running incredibly fast - The first thing you gotta
ask is 'Are they running to something or are they running from something?' The answer is always both.


"The Target" 1.02
Boyd: Why not default them with ninja skills or whatever?
Topher: We tried that once.
Boyd: And?
Topher: Blood. Screaming. Dying.

Topher: [To Boyd] Anything for you. Because I love you. Deep, deep, man love.


"Stage Fright" 1.03
Dr. Saunders: You sent Echo on a high-risk engagement?
Topher: Doctor Saunders! How nice of you to annoy me.


"Gray Hour" 1.04
Boyd: They're eating lunch.
Topher: They're eating lunch together, man friend. The same three. Even the same table. They're grouping.
Boyd: Are you saying they remember each other?
Topher: No, no, no. The wipes are clean. This goes deeper than memory, into
instinctual survival patterns. Flocking. A whole mess of sparrows turning on a
dime, salmon trucking upstream. This isn't a book club, man friend, this is the herd.
Boyd: They're not bison, Topher.
Topher: They're a little bit bison.

Topher: Ivy, babe, add juice boxes.
Ivy: You're privilege abusing.
Topher: Do you want to know how to avoid spandrels when aligning
rigid designators?
Ivy: Grape or apple?


"True Believer" 1.05
Echo: A massage would be relaxing.
Topher: If she were any more relaxed, she'd be ooze.

Dr. Claire Saunders: One good sneeze could bring on a seizure.
Topher Brink: Or even worse, a sneezure.

FrellingTralk 03-30-2010 04:11 PM

Thanks for the new thread :)

Miss Kenton 04-03-2010 10:19 PM

You're all welcome! :D

I've added you ForeverFaraday. :D Welcome to the thread! :wave:

So...what is everyone's favorite thing about Topher? :D I think for me it might be his sense of humour. :lol: Also, just how much he grew in the end. It was as if he was regaining the conscience he forgot he had. :sigh:

FrellingTralk 04-04-2010 05:53 AM

I liked his season 2 journey the most, and how we saw how hard it was for him when he first started developing more of a conscience :nod: Sierra's episode is still my all-time favourite episode of DH ever, and characters like Topher and Boyd also played a big part in its greatness

Miss Kenton 04-04-2010 09:49 PM

His season 2 journey is one of the best I've seen on tv, if not the best. I mean, if I try to put myself in his shows and experience the things he did, I know I wouldn't have made it. He's a strong, strong man and he's very human and it was so beautiful to see that. So incredibly saddening and hurtful, but beautiful.

I'm surprised a little that Belonging is your all-time fav ep, but I can see how it would be. :nod: The characterizations were on all throughout and it really tugged at your heartstrings. :sigh:

dig_behind: Picspam: top 7 Topher Brink scenes.

Miss Kenton 04-10-2010 10:27 PM

I love that spam! :love: :love: Those are all basically my top moments too.

Quote:

If I think I can figure things out, is that curiosity or arrogance?
I know what I Know, I know what I know, I know what I know.
One of my favorite quotes. :love:

Quote:

You don't know me! That's the contract, you don't know me and I don't know you, not fully, not ever.
I made you fight for your beliefs. I didn’t make you hate me. You chose to.
So sad! :thud:

Quote:

Claire: Because I don't wanna die. I'm not even real, I'm in someone elses body and I'm afried to give it up. I'm not better than you,
I'm just a series of excuses.
Topher You're human.
Claire: Don't flatter yourself.
:lol: So perfect.

And my favorite! :thud: :love:

Quote:

Claire: Why shouldn't I love you? Aren't you lovable? Aren't you Big Brother? Aren't you the lord my god? Why should I fight your divine plan?
Topher: Because you're better than that. Because you're better than me...

FrellingTralk 04-11-2010 06:41 AM

All such great moments :love:

Miss Kenton 04-11-2010 09:13 PM
