Now, that's more like it!
Thank the lord, this weeks Nikita was good!
Mikita is still boring and stupid, and Maggie and Shane have no chemistry together, but at least the Mikita idiocy was countered by an actual plot this episode.
TBH, the best parts of the episode were the Alex/Amanda bits. Alex impressed me once again. She adapts to situations so quickly and think on her feet so well. I'm in love with how smart she is. And Amanda's obsession with her just tickles me pink. Melinda Clarke is so enchanting. Amanda scares the shit out of me, but I love every second she is on screen. I can't wait to see how the cat and mouse game between the two of them continues to develop. Also, the Birkhoff/Amanda tag-team was pretty fun. "That's a lie" lol.
It's probably not what the writers are going for, but Jaden's hate!boner for Alex amuses the hell out of me. I just feel like Jaden masturbates at night while imagining fighting Alex, wrestling her to the ground and then mounting her victoriously. If they ever get into an actual physical fight, Alex better watch out for her virtue.
I enjoy Owen so much, even when he's all crazy. The character has such energy and presence. He's fun to watch, and in this episode where he was juxtaposed against Michael so much, it really hammered home how fucking boring Michael is. I don't care how many, "He's built where it counts" Nikita utters. Michael is just not impressive, and when Nikita is surrounded by all of this charismatic, hot badass associates, it makes her 'love' for Michael completely boggling. Also, that last hug between Nikita and Owen, with Maggie crying so very prettily (she is such a pretty crier) was more effecting than anything I've ever seen between Nikita and Michael on screen.
But let's focus on what's really important. Owen lived through the episode! I was worried for a while there. Thank goodness Michael is so whipped, and Nikita has a healers touch.
In conclusion, it was nice to see the show return to fine form. I almost just waited to download this episode because I was so disappointed by last weeks, but I'm back to counting down to next weeks ep now! Though, I gotta say, if I don't get some meaningful Nikita/Alex interaction next week, I'mma a throw a hizzy fit. I needs my Nalex fix dammit!

completely agree with you about Owen ♥ the London fight scene was amazing! Michael was just annoying with his constant "I don't trust him" blah blah.
and Amanda/Alex...yes. I was worried that Alex was going to crack, but she is smart.
lol at the end, "Alex, we need to talk about Michael" -- my brain was screaming STOP CHEATING ON YOUR GIRLFRIEND! hahahaha. but :/ I wonder how Alex will react..

I couldn't watch it, it was too painful. I only unmuted the TV when Owen showed up. His snarking on this is the only thing that got me through that.
Michael was just annoying with his constant "I don't trust him" blah blah.
So annoying. I've tried not to shit all over Shane West, because he seems like a nice guy, but he's got basically no screen presence. I know Michael's bitching was supposed to be playful and charming, but I was just rolling my eyes.

LOL! Me too! Nikita and Alex are a couple in my brain, so I've been more than a little irritated with Nikita for the last couple episodes, lol
