TV! (BE WARNED: Mostly Squee-Free Edition)
Supernatural S06E05: The jokes were kind of un-subtle, and the tension was kind of un-tense, but that second (you know which one)... that second made the hole episode worth it.
Nikita S01E06: I think I'm mostly giving up on the series. Don't get me wrong, Nikita is still more competent that most action heroes (she's a bit like a much better looking, although utterly humorless, Michael Westen). But I don't know what the strategy is here, and I'm beginning to think that nobody has one. Nikita is too much the boy scout, Michael is so gooey it's a miracle he doesn't cancel himself, Percy has the gravitas and strategic depth of Michael Scott, and Alex has no business infiltrating Division, and would have already been killed a dozen times if Birkoff or Amanda were half as competent as they are supposed to be. I like her very much, but she's a Dick/Jason!Robin, not a Tim!Robin.
