sff: Covert Affairs, Continuum

Covert Affairs 3x1: um. A spoilery thing made me annoyed, so I sort of just skimmed the episode (otoh, I like the new boss-lady, and also want ALL the Joan/Lena femslash ever, as, there is obviously History there, unf). Then I got to the end and loled. They thought they needed more sex, obviously. ALSO. ALSO. Surprise!Jeff Murdoch is always good for a laugh (I'm sorry, I don't remember the actor's actual name. ALSO. This means Jane being Sophie undercover is now canon, yes?)

Continuum (1x6). I'm still really liking the show. And am... sort of beginning to wonder if Kiera will end up starting Liber8e.(because some part of her seems to agree with their motives if not their methods, and and, idk). Also, Lexa Doig? She is pretty awesome. I just--the way she was in the episode, was great.

Eta: also, please no more ripping off/being inspired by Spooks episodes, show. I'd hate to start equating Carlos with Lucas North, because then I'll start talking about punching him in the face a lot. (Kiera is Ros)

Also, while I poked the rest of the album and it's a bit meh, the song from the end of the episode is "I'm on Fire" by Stateless, and it's pretty good.

LEVERAGE STARTS UP AGAIN TOMORROW. eeeeeeeee.=D

As to that horrible thing in Covert Affairs, I chose to believe it's a situation similar to Ben's and we'll get a happy ending toward the end of the season. Sure, that's probably denial but it all seemed a little too convenient to me. But I do love Sarah Clarke as Annie's new boss and I PRAY we get more about her history with Joan, as Joan's reaction to learning that Annie was going to work for her was just FABULOUS.

Sadly, I've read an interview with a showrunner (and unless he's a lying asshole...), and it is permanent. I suppose he can go hang out with other people I'm cranky about losing?

Well, crap :(

I really, REALLY hope this doesn't mean we'll see Ben return. I need us to be done with that guy.

I think of him as Moist Von Lipwig. It helps that Annie reminds me about Adora Belle a little.

Continuum really got interesting after Kagame appeared. I loved how Lexa's character is closest to him and helps with planning and is the one who understands the cause not just follows orders. I found it interesting how show always portrayed the terrorist more ambiguously the Kiera saw them. They cause has always been sympathetic and you could kind of see that Kiera in her nice, privileged life was sheltered from the problems general population faced and just didn't get it. This episode showed she did have some doubts however when her job exposed her to how the reality really works (instead of slogans). I wonder if her, sort of, cooperation with Kellog will be used to let her learn how it looked like for someone who isn't married to a corporation executive.

I have no idea who that is, sorry.

Yes, I'm loving the relationship between Sonya and Kagame! (and except for their kill-happy methods, I sort of totally agree with them about corporations)

OMG JEFF. Throughout the whole ep, I was like, "I'm sorry, I can't take you seriously, even with those abs, you're Jeff." Bang goes typecasting, eh?

AHAHAHAH. I know, right? His picture came up on the screen, and I started LAUGHING. AND THEN HIS VOICE. AND WHAT ACCENT IS THAT, MR. COYLE?

His "I'm sexy and you know it" accent, perhaps?
