A few of my favorite Shalimar moments:
"I Scream the Body Electric": Definitely that meditation scene with Emma, in which she was the picture of serenity. Later, her teasing the guards at the GSA by creeping up behind them still makes me laugh every time.
"Fool for Love": The entire episode, from the initial bar scene--she looked hot in that scene--to the choreography of the fight scene with Richard, to the symbolic hand grasp at the end. Victoria does a wonderful job of portraying Shalimar's being torn in two directions: Mutant X vs. her doctor, her protectiveness over Richard, and then her sense of loss at his impending death. That image at the end, where she's lying heartbroken by the pool is one of my favorite views in all of Mutant X.
"Kilohertz": Bungee jumping! If I could make an icon of that moment, it would say, "Free."
"Crime of the New Century": This is one of the few episodes where Shalimar sternly reminds us that she taught Jesse everything he knows. She does, in fact, have a brain, and I think this aspect of her is overlooked at times in future episodes.
"Dark Star Rising": The fight scene in the warehouse where Shalimar and Angel team up against the GS agents was another example of great choreography.
"Blood Ties": Big sister Shalimar. After Shalimar's been working to defend and protect Jesse throughout this episode, the "awww" factor in the Shalimar/Jesse moment at the end of this episode was so sweet (there's one in "In the Presence of Mine Enemies" too, but this is my favorite).
"Lazarus Syndrome." I loved the evidence of the bond between Shalimar and Emma throughout this episode; the way Shalimar's willing to return with Emma to the bar even though she doesn't really believe Caleb's alive, just to allow her the opportunity to calm her fears. The part where Shalimar's mournfully carrying Emma's from the basement was beautifully done. Shalimar's smile upon seeing Emma revive could brighten the darkest room.
I do have lots more...
