Persons Unknown - 1x05 - The One Where they re-hook with more femslash

[fembuck]

Damn you, Person's Unknown!   Just when I was about to give up on you due to the terrible lack of Moira/Tori flirting interactions and the shenanigans you pulled with Tori last episode, you have to go and deliver a really entertaining episode with heaps of femslashy goodness and end up hooking me all over again.

Download the butch and the gay for yourselves here.

Kandyse McClure's (Dee!) inclusion on this show is the best thing to happen since the beginning of the show.  I lurve Erika.  Honestly, who knew that little Dee had it within her to be such a badass, and not only a badass but a badass with some serious Butch Swagger.  Seriously, Erika is like a feral, borderline psychotic killer, but I have never been more attracted to Kandyse than I am to her in this role.


Seriously, I am both terrified and turned on.

And if the introduction of Erika and her Butchy McFabulous self weren't enough to peek my interests again, the show has to go and make Erika have a huge girl-boner for Janet (which is very relevant to my interests) and Janet (JANET people!) was also likable and occasionally even cute in her scenes with Erika.

Erika took a shovel to someone's face earlier just for coming into her personal space, and after 20 minutes in a vault with Janet, Erika is telling the woman that she looks like an angel, holding her hand, and then swearing to protect her new boo no matter what.  Epic love story brewing.  Okay, probably not, but...

Next episode Erika calls dibs on Janet, and the handler refers to Janet/Erika/Joe as a love triangle!

Awesome.

Ha! Did you see the previews for next week where Erika's all 'Back off, Joe. It's prison bitch time and Janet's mine!'.

I just watched the promo for the next episode and I loves it! I was hoping that they were going to keep the Erika lurves Janet angle, and I'm pleased that they actually are. Of course, it saddens me to know that Erika is likely to be the Jacob Black of this love triangle, but I can definitely handle an episode or two of the two of them flirting and Erika verbally and physically bitch-slaping Joe.

Erika's all 'Back off, Joe. It's prison bitch time and Janet's mine!'.

Hot. Super hot.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I know right! She's got a serious case of crazy eyes, but its the HOT kind of crazy eyes. The whole time I was like, "I should not find you hot, you're crazy, but I want you!"

I am definitely pickin' up what Erika is puttin' down.

I just realized where the hell I recognized Janet from. She's in this horrible Australian soap that still airs for some inane reason. AND HER CHARACTER WAS A BIG GAYMO. She had a girlfriend and everything.

And I totally agree with you. Erika = hot.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Heh. Good, at least she has practice bringing the gay. Janet is so much more likable when she's interacting with female characters so lets hope Janet/Erika continues on for a while.

And yeah, Erika could totally claim me as her bitch. She is smokin'

OMG SHE IS SUPER BUTCHY!CUTE! How have I not known this?!?!? I must mainline this show after I'm done with the free eps of 30 Rock from Netflix.

Are they streaming on Hulu? Are they there?

::checks::

Hmmmm. They've got the last four eps up. I'M MISSING THE PILOT?!? WHATEVER WILL I DO?!?!?

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

She is the definition of Butchy!Cute.

The fifth episode of the series is Erika/Kandyse's first one though, so you're not missing her in earlier episodes.

The show is alright, and the second episode is kind of gay as well, but Erika's inclusion has definitely increased how much I'm enjoying it.

[flyingichthyo.livejournal.com]

Sweet. That's good to know - that I'm not missing much slashiness from the Pilot. :D

[hamimifk.livejournal.com]

Ha! I just knew you'd squee all over the new episode (at least I know I totally did)! Erika is way smokin'. Mmm...

And was I the only who totally cheered when Erika beat on the jerk dude AND stole his clothes!? xD She won my heart right there and then.

Bah, but I'm not happy with what happened to Tori. I know she was getting a little annoying, but still... I guess they wanted to avoid too much lesbian action on the show? *sigh*

I just knew you'd squee all over the new episode (at least I know I totally did)! Erika is way smokin'. Mmm...

You know me well! They had me with the introduction of Erika, and as long as she's on the show and gay for Janet I'll be there.

And was I the only who totally cheered when Erika beat on the jerk dude AND stole his clothes!? xD She won my heart right there and then.

Oh, I know. Blackham is such a fucking annoying asshole. I cheered when she beat him up, and again when she didn't apologize to him at the end. Blackham deserves all the abuse he gets.

but I'm not happy with what happened to Tori. I know she was getting a little annoying, but still... I guess they wanted to avoid too much lesbian action on the show? *sigh*

I liked Tori too. I'm not sure that her story is really over yet. With the level of conspiracy going on, I'm hoping that she's still alive. But yeah, Moira/Tori and Janet/Erika would have made this like the gayest show on television, lol

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I would definitely recommend watching this episode of you like Dee. You get more of Kandyse in this one episode than in like an entire season of BSG, and she is BADASS like you wouldn't believe.

Lol I watched the promo going 'Nahhh, there's no /way/ cute little Dee could pull off butch'...but she does...she so does! And, wow, the crazy eyes. I'm actually scared of the woman (especially in the middle cap of the first set you posted - she really does look like she'd beat the shit out of you and thoroughly enjoy it).

I watched the promo going 'Nahhh, there's no /way/ cute little Dee could pull off butch'...but she does...she so does! And, wow, the crazy eyes.

I know, right! I didn't think Kandyse had it in her. I've always seen her playing sweet, quiet characters, so to see this come out of her was surprising and AMAZING! I'm so proud of her. She was awesome and terrifying! And yeah, those eyes. She had a major case of crazy eye going on.

After Tori's exit I'd pretty much decided to relegate this show to the back shelf, but I can never resist your recommendations of gayness.

I still hate what they did to Tori (kinda keeping my fingers crossed that it's a double bluff but that's probably wishful thinking) but we at least got a glimpse of the Moira/Tori love that's been missing the last few eps, which was something.

Ericka made Janet look good... so obviously she's a miracle worker as well as a super cute, super butch, super sexy new inmate. She's so tiny but so scary too, I'm just lovin' her.

Also, big plus points for beating the crap out of Blackman and getting in some good shots at Joe. She hit Moira too, I know, but at least she apologised.

Joe has now overtaken Janet and Blackman as the most annoying character on the show. I thought the reveal that he was part of the conspiracy would make him interesting but it's just made him more of a pain in the arse.

I am looking forward to him being found out and hopefully beaten to within an inch of his life by Ericka. I just wish we didn't have to suffer through Janet choosing him over Ericka (I'd love to believe it could go the other way but this is NBC).

random.

so i'm totes gonna watch this show thanks to your incessant badgering. :P but really it def looks interesting.

btw, this is pretty random and i don't know how you feel about rihanna, but have you seen her te amo video?



just in case you have yet to see it.

(:

*sigh* Who is going to write the Janet/Erika fanfic, you or me? Because the African-American slightly crazy convicted murderess has no chance against the strapping young white boy on network TV - even if it is on a Saturday on NBC. And it certainly LOOKS like there's nothing stopping Janet/Joe after the last episode (except for the whole disappearing thing, let's hope it stays that way).

Still, the look on her face when Tom is watching her pouring the antifreeze out - priceless.
