Nikita, gurl, you crack me up!

Nikita giving Alex a glass of almond milk at the end of the episode instead of wine was hilarious.  Oh, to get a look into Nikita's mind.  Knife training, gun assembly lessons, high fives for breaking people's fingers, infiltrating black ops government installations, check.  But wine is crossing a line, lol.

Also, I know that scene was supposed to remind us that Alex is only 19 (because now that they glammed Alex up, Nikita honestly looks like she's maybe three years older than her), and I get that ... but it just made me ship the hell out of them even more.  Seriously, I wanted Alex to just walk over to Nikita after that phone call from Michael and just crawl into Nikita's lap and drink her milk between make-out sessions.  In fact, I'm pretty much convinced that's what really happened.  And that they like to watch Wipeout together and mock regular people's lack of coordination and general badassery.

I was worried about the retooling the show went through and what it would be like when it came back from hiatus, but I'm loving it.  Alex being out in the world is the greatest thing to happen to fandom femslash this month.  Okay, that's not true.  Jaime Murray on Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is the greatest thing to happen to fandom femslash this month, but Alex being an agent and not being stuck underground is definitely second.  To say that I am loving the way Alex and Nikita interact with each other, gaze lovingly at each other, worry about each other, save each others asses, and just generally respect and support each other, would be an understatement of epic proportions.  Right now, they are my favorite couple on television (okay, Phil and Claire from Modern Family are giving them a run for their money, but Nikita/Alex is a least tied for the top spot).

Also, this episode was filmed like an eight minute walk from where I live!  Goddamn you frigid Canadian winters making me whole up inside like grizzly bear.  MAGGIE Q WAS SO CLOSE yet so far away.  I just never saw the filming because the thought of long term exposure to the cold makes me cry so I've been avoiding the outdoors.  I definitely need to work on my stalking skills.

Don't forget shopping together!! Because, yes, the best thing to happen to this show was Division giving Alex her very own bachelorette pad making it so Nikita can see her Boo anytime she wants to!

In fact, I'm pretty much convinced that's what really happened.

Yup, I'm pretty much convinced that's what happened as well. Then after wards, they took a nice and *long* bath together. That glass of milk was for Alex's "stamina" and I totally mean that in a 'wink, wink, nudge, nudge' kinda way.

Oh, and the slo-mo shot of Nikita with the sword after she took out two agents with guns? Totally gave me girl wood!

Ooh, I was on set for a scene that was shot for I think it was episode 3 or 4, set in a sweat shop in China or something. It was shot in a local high end men's clothing maker that my partner works for. We ducked in to watch some of the special effects being shot one night. Maggie shot her gun and they set stuff on fire, it was really cool. Maggie Q is certainly hot! So's her stunt double ;)

I highly recommend working on those stalker skillz...

Words cannot express how much I love you for shipping Nalex too. God, I love them together. The last two episodes have just solidified them as a couple in my mind.

They're such fierce bitches together! I especially love Alex, she's really good at all this even with less experience than Nikita.

I lol'd at the sword-sheathing scene because it was just so dramatic - the men collapsing right on cue XD the scene of her breaking her stiletto heels was mmmmmmmf so hot. I love how Nikita fights in evening gowns half the time!

and almond milk? SO ADORABLE ♥

MICHAEL LOOKED SO STUPID IN HIS FBI GARB I CAN'T STAND HIS BEADY PERVY EYES AND THE BEADY PERVY WAY HE PERVS ON ALEX!

I totally snorted when Nikita held the two wineglasses. Seriously, I agree that relaxing scenes should appear more often.

Ship wars are going on tumblr the last time I checked, with the Nalex name being argued over as Nathan/Alex comes into play the next episode.

Maggie and Lyndsy just portray the relationship so naturally.

(You should write more Nikita/Alex fics, there's a serious drought of it online)

Nikita fans, Nikita/Alex shippers! I thought I was all alone on this island!


Seriously, I wanted Alex to just walk over to Nikita after that phone call from Michael and just crawl into Nikita's lap and drink her milk between make-out sessions. In fact, I'm pretty much convinced that's what really happened. And that they like to watch Wipeout together and mock regular people's lack of coordination and general badassery.

omg, that is officially the best image, ever. EVER! I heart my nikita/alex. They are love, in every sense of the word.
