fembuckIf you are not watching Nikita, OMG START!
Nikita - 1x11 - All The Way
How awesome was this weeks episode? Not only did Nikita kick ass forwards, backwards and side-ways but up and down as well! Maggie Q I bow down before thee. Seriously, I was just smiling and clapping, whooping and 'aww-ing' my way through this episode. It was so badass. Also, this episode was a femslash smorgasbord!
The Alex/Nikita scenes were so sweet and intense. Nikita totally scores in the eleventh percentile for protective instincts. I will never get enough of her mentoring Alex and doing everything in her power to protect her and take care of her. All of their scenes together made me swoon. I really love how important they are to each other, and that the show doesn't marginalize the importance of their relationship.
In addition to the lovefest of Alex/Nikita, there was also lovely Amanda/Nikita interaction. Seriously, the scene with them was INTENSE. Melinda Clarke is a scary mofo, but she makes it so sexy. Terror and arousal should not go hand in hand, but apparently no one told that to Mindy. Either that or they did and she just didn't give a shit, and that makes me love her even more. She's HBIC she can do what she wants. But yeah ... the Amanda/Nikita scene was AWESOME! And Maggie was a power-house in that scene! Take that people who said Maggie is robotic and can't act!
I should also mention, that I really enjoy how they've been developing the Alex character. I'm really fascinated by her and constantly impressed by her and her ability to think on her feet. Lyndsy Fonseca does a fantastic job with her, and I can't wait to see where Alex is going to go from here.
I'm liking this show more and more every week. My only request would be MOAR AMANDA less Percy. Cause, let's me honest. Amanda is about a hundred thousand time more intimidating than Percy. Even Nikita thinks so, lol
Spoiler-y .gifs below ... do not scroll down any more unless you want to see them!
See the bad-assery and be awed!
Spoiler-y .gifs begin here ....
There is not enough UNF in the world to describe my reaction to this!
LOL! Being terrified of Nikita is the first smart thing Jaden has done!
Oh Nikita!
Seriously, this .gif alone is was almost enough to make me pick up one of the first five Rachel Morgan books. Because Maggie Q has always been my Ivy Tamwood, and if this isn't Ivy Tamwood awesomeness personified, I don't know what is. Don't worry, I resisted. I will not invite that insanity back into my life. I'll just stick to Nikita thanks.
Seriously. So. Fucking. Badass. That's right, Amanda. Run. You the HBIC when bitches are in chains, but when Nikita is wielding concrete maces it's time to GTFO!
I really hope that the CW doesn't manage to screw the show up over the hiatus. I don't understand why networks hate it when audience demographics are different than they expected. Does it really matter if you thought the show would appeal to 18-30 year old females, but the audience is actually 25-40 year females and 18-45 year old males? I mean, if people are watching, why change things to try and make it appeal more to people who aren't watching and risk alienating the ones that actually like the show? *and yes, this is still some Blade: The Series rage rearing it's head*
