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).

Michael: >:(. that is all.
you don't like Noah Bean? I can't stop thinking he looks like a cross between Tom Cruise and Brandon Routh.
YES, WHERE'S AMANDA?! Melinda Clarke needs more screentime!

Date: 2011-02-13 05:18 pm (UTC)Oh, I know! That scene was delicious gay angst all over the place. It really was super-subtexty. They're like 50s era housewives who's fallen in love with each other, but have to 'live the lie' or marriage in order to survive in society.
Michael: >:(. that is all.
What a magnificently douchey little otter.

Never really been a fan. I was apathetic towards him on Damages, and here too. I just don't find him to be a very charismatic actor. Also, somethings happened to his face between Damages and Nikita that weirds me out. His features have gotten more delicate (maybe he lost some weight or something) and I just really wish they cast someone else.
YES, WHERE'S AMANDA?! Melinda Clarke needs more screentime!
I know! This show underuse of her should be criminal. Amanda and Melinda are AMAZING. Less Percy, more Amanda.
