fembuckThank 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!

Date: 2011-04-19 02:06 am (UTC)Owen's not my favoritest ever, but I like him better than dead!Daniel, Michael and especially Ryan. I ain't gon' throw shade at you for not liking him though. Right now he's just the best of some pretty slim pickings to me.
So... she was crushing the pills and injecting him with them? That's how people die horribly.
lol! Having like no medical knowledge makes watching TV easier some times. Being like Anna Torv and not knowing anything actual can come in handy!
Need more Amanda.
Seconded. There's never enough Amanda!
