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.

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

They are such fierce bitches together. They are also fierce bitches apart which makes them so much better. I love how well suited they are for each other. Alex is younger but she is every bit as smart and clever and badass as Nikita is. They are really the only people who are cool enough for each other.

I agree with you so much about Alex. I've been constantly impressed with the fact that the writers have made her smart and capable. She constantly impresses me.
