glass_icarus1. Tonight's Nikita: most interesting plotline thus far? It's up there in my book, but then again that's not exactly saying much (and also, I'm rather easy to please when there is Maggie Q with a gun to distract me. In case you hadn't noticed. >.>). Spy vs. spy interactions! Non-Division scheming! Okay, it's still trending a bit heavy on the whitebread sources of manpain for my preferences, and I am still giving the writers the side-eye on Jaden (DON'T THINK I HAVEN'T NOTICED THE UTTER LACK OF HER IN THE LAST FEW EPS. BECAUSE I HAVE. BRING HER BACK AND GIVE HER SOME GODDAMN ASS TO KICK ALREADY, JFC.), but still. That was slightly more solid entertainment than I was expecting!
2. NBC's canceling Undercovers?!?! It's not like I wasn't half-expecting/half-dreading this since I first heard it was going to air but FUCK YOUUUUUUUU NBC, SO MUCH NO. This may be a fluffy capery show, okay, but I notice White Collar and Leverage are both still alive and kicking. Obviously fluffy capery shows with TWO POC LEADS and ZERO WHITE MANPAIN have to get the boot before the first season's even finished airing, eh? Make all the excuses you want; they all sound like "know your place" to me. >:||||||

Date: 2010-11-05 05:42 pm (UTC)I think Thom is beginning to grow on me
kind of like a fungus, but only in some of those moments where he's gaga over Alex? The thing is, I can't take too much of his emoface or I simply stop caring, and I can't take macho bullshit posturing, so it's kind of a fine balance- but he hits it for me! Sometimes. *g*no subject
