fembuckOkay, so this show is intentionally fucking with us, right? Because that "Happy Valentine's Day" scene between Nikita and Alex was almost too gay to function.
My god, Alex had the most amazing case of sex hair ever, like someone (and by someone I mean Nikita) spent all night just running her fingers through it. And her shirt! Alex's shirt was so unbuttoned that I was blushing a little because it seemed like they'd just rolled out of bed to get a snack and exchange Valentine's Day gifts after sexing for most of the evening. Add that to the looks, the dialogue, and the music and the gay was almost overpowering! I mean, could Nikita have looked anymore like a classy business lady getting ready to leave the love nest she purchased for her college co-ed lover? The answer to that question is, 'No'.
I'm not even going to comment on the rest of the episode because it doesn't deserve it. It would be like having a glass of frozen Minute Maid punch after you've had a glass of Merlot.
Okay, I take that back. That Michael/Alex/Nathan dinner scene was pretty intense and worth mentioning. Michael was such a magnificent bastard! Alex looked so uncomfortable. I mean how incredibly awful for her to hear him insinuating that she's a whore considering her past. She looked so small and broken. Michael you cruel littler otter. If he knew about Alex's past, I'd go so far as to characterize his insinuations as despicable.
But at the same time, Nathan (if he's not a spy or something) will totally be better off if he stays the hell away from Alex. He's just gonna end up dead. You know it's true. He's a red-shirt. His generic good-looks and bland, non-threatening personality mean he's doomed (though at least Nathan has the good manners to be good-looking unlike the double-ugly squirrel-faced charisma vacuum they've saddled Nikita with). Alex is gonna get that basic bitch killed.
Also, where's Mindy? Seriously, I am not okay with Capt. Fugly and Slightly Above Average-looking Neighbor Boy stealing screen time from Melinda 'muthafuckin' Clarke! Seriously, this show uses it's cast so strangely. Aaron Stanford and Melinda Clarke get next to no screen-time, while Noah Bean's all over the fucking place. I wish he'd get a statue of liberty collectible to the head again. Dump him in the bathtub and run!
In conclusion, I like this show better when it's Action-Adventure BFFs Kicking Ass and Taking Numbers instead of Sex and the City with spies ... which means it sucks for me that it's on the CW. Because as much as I hate Nathan and Ryan for sucking the energy, intrigue, badassery, suspense, good story-telling, dynamic characterization, chemistry, plotting and pacing from the show ... I know they're not going anywhere (at least not fast enough for me).

Date: 2011-02-11 03:44 pm (UTC)Ha! Having now seen the scene in question (repeatedly, thanks to the uploader above) your words DO NOT adequately describe how GAY the scene was. Honestly, ignore the fact that Nikita tosses Alex a phone and it really sounds like she tossed her a sex toy!
But.. GAH! I'm really falling for these two.. HARD!! Kinda like how Nikita's fallen for Alex. And I love (in subtext goggles land) how Nikita's totally fallen for Alex but puts up these 'all business' walls, which just confuses Alex who's all 'didn't you *just* have your face between my thighs, why so cold Nikita?'. Which causes them both to run back to HetLand for very wrong, very bad reasons.
And I like how the two of them have these little and big walls between but, at the end of the day, trust each other completely.

But.. GAH! I'm really falling for these two.. HARD!! Kinda like how Nikita's fallen for Alex.
Heh. And ME TOO! I am kind of really in love with them.

To be honest, this is exactly how the "Happy Valentine's Day" scene played out for me. Nikita was trying way too hard to be 'professional' and Alex just really, really wanted to cuddle with her boo. Honestly, when Alex is all vulnerable and puppy doggish like that it boggles my mind that anyone, even Nikita, would be able to resist her for a second.

They and their relationship is the heart of the show, and as long as the show remembers that and keeps them integral to each other, I can deal with the het shenanigans the CW is forcing on us.
