fembuckI love Gary. Love. After the first episode I wasn't sure how I would feel about him, but I absolutely love this character. I think the actor is doing a fantastic job, and he gets the best lines every episode.
“Hey, Cameron. You’re up in my grill now. You gotta get out of my grill.”
Other times that Gary Was Amazing
Though, Gary's "Bill's laughing," right after than line (pan to Bill giggling) is what really killed me.
Gary: I'm a baller.
Nina: How do you even know that word?
Gary: It's the right word.
Gary: Maybe Nina's the killer. Are you the killer Nina? It would be a surprise.
Gary: [reading text messages] Freaking. F-R-E-A-K-N. That's not a word.
Rachel: Gary, are you alright?
Gary: No, I have bruises in my hair.
I wish Nina had more to do. Though, I have to say that I kind of like that there on on-screen acknowledgements of the fact that she doesn't have much to do/is being underutilized. Hopefully that means that the show will address this soon and we'll get a nice little Nina arc.
Nina and Rachel working hard to make people ship them!

Why is this moment awesome?
Because it takes place after Rachel and Nina having a little argument about Rachel not wanting to kiss and tell. So right after their little tiff, the new badges are delivered and Rachel (bless her heart) goes straight for Nina's badge (only picking up her own as like an after thought) and then Rachel's all, “look at your picture” but Nina looks over at her all sexy like and whispers something that could only have been along of the lines of "I'd rather look at you".
I'm mean they're no Myka/HG, but the little moments between these two are fun, and I think they have chemistry that could grow if they were allowed to interact more.
Rachel broke my heart this episode. As much as I love Gary and Nina, Rachel is the character I identify the most with. I thought we got a really nice look at her this episode and I've certainly come away with a better understanding of her (and how her powers have adversely affected her life). I hope that she does talk to Nina or Rosen soon about what happened on her date though so I can better figure out how to write Nina/Rachel sexy scenes!
I love that the show brought some F/F May-December shenanigans with Rachel and Mrs. Elkhart. Hit my Octavia/Servilia fetish hard (always starts with a hug laced with sexual tension, doesn't it?). Honestly, it wasn't a very sexy storyline, but I took great pleasure in watching Rachel and Mrs. Elkhart hold hands in the car, while Rachel lovingly gazed over at her. Makes me really wish Nina/Rachel would happen, because I think Azita could bring the GoGA, and that Nina/Rachel would have a dynamic a lot like Amina/Miriam from The World Unseen.
Also, HAI DR. VANESSA! Fancy seeing you on this show! So Warehouse 13/Alphas/Eureka all exist in the same verse. I know the tones are very different, but I'd totally be interested in seeing a Warehouse 13/Alphas cross-over, where Pete and Myka are hunting for an artifact they think is causing some strange thing and Rosen's team are hunting for an Alpha that they think might be causing it. And, no my entire reason for wanting to see this cross-over is not because I think Myka would be hard-core checking out Nina - but that is part of the reason ;)

Next week's Warehouse 13 looks fun.
Sneak Peek: Don't Hate the Player
It will suffer from a lack of Ms. Helena G. Wells, but Myka's outfit makes me happy (and other "h" words)
It cracks me up that Eddie's shirt is off like every other episode. Warehouse 13, doing it's part for gender equality!

This.
It's like I honestly enjoy the show, and I think next weeks episode will be really fun, but everything that doesn't have H.G. in it feels like filler.

and next episode of warehouse looks cool :D but I hope HG would be in every episode.
Re: eagle11
Date: 2011-08-11 07:01 pm (UTC)This pretty perfectly sums up my feelings. I like the N/R potential, but they haven't started sizzling for me yet. Laura Mennel is effortlessly sensuous though, and Azita showed this week that she can have chemistry with women, so if the show lets them interact a bit more we could have something ... though they're still unlikely to ever be as awesome gay as Myka/HG
and next episode of warehouse looks cool :D but I hope HG would be in every episode.
Again, my feelings exactly. The episode looks fun, but all episodes without HG feel like filler to me. I'm always just waiting for her next appearance.

Date: 2011-08-10 04:11 pm (UTC)As for next week's Warehouse 13 episode, I think they should figure out how to digitally transport H.G.'s consciousness into the game world. And, ya know, since it's a virtual world, H.G. would totes be able to touch people. ;D

Date: 2011-08-11 07:03 pm (UTC)I know, right! I keep thinking how impractical it is for Nina to be walking around in those heels all the time (what is this, Covert Affairs), but I do like the effect those heels have on the way she walks, and the way she can sexily gaze down at Rachel.

AHHHHHHHHHHH! PERFECTION! I'm now going to be disappointed that the show won't go there. But I am excited about the possibility of fic, cause this idea ... perfection!

Date: 2011-08-11 07:05 pm (UTC)Myka is gonna be sexily comforting my lady parts all episode in that outfit! Unf! My crush on Joanne is reaching critical levels! If they let Myka fight with a sword again, I might actually swoon.
And even Pete's looking good. Eddie must have been working out like a fiend for this season the way the show has showing off his goods, lol. And Claudia's ears are killing me.
