1. I dreamed in Nikita this morning. I have no idea why, I've been gorging on Leverage commentaries and Midsomer Murders and Big Finish Audios.
2. But it did remind me that I'd watched two and a third episodes of La Femme Nikita. Unfortunately, those must be the worst episodes or something, because they're uncompelling, bland and full of "Michael threatens to rape and murder Nikita, and she has no way to escape." And the third episode is "Michael is full of pain, and we should all feel sorry for him." So I stopped watching out of disgust.
3. Nikita herself is written as this male fantasy mixture of insouciant little girl and stone-cold killer. I feel heartily sorry for Peta Wilson, as she's never really given much to do outside of pout, get naked and shoot things. Oh, and sometimes, she gets to be Innocent, and then find out that even her closest friends are just evil and/or dead.
Sigh.
So, yeah. My opinion of the "La Femme Nikita is so brilliant" line that people use to talk about how bad Nikita (the CW series) is... well, let's just say I find it unconvincing. (I found LFN so uninteresting I watched it sometime in, like, December, and then totally forgot)
5. Speaking of ridiculous things, you know the Leverage commentaries are going to be good when John Rogers says things like "Can we not talk about felonies on the commentaries, please?" and there is lots of alcohol being drunk. They make me giggle. A lot.

sparktober is over for another year.
I may've gotten inspired to write a ficlet... Someone on the post had a Leia icon and then a Parker one.
( and then Leia hired Parker to steal the Death Star plans )

Covert Affairs. I don't have much to say about it. I enjoy it while it's on, but it's not a very deep show. I'm still a huge Annie and Joan fan, though. And Auggie and Arthur are growing on me. And Jai is hot. So is Liza. Big Reveal was not so big. I do sort of think it's hilarious that Annie's Love changed Ben's life 4ever.
Nikita. Also not one I have much to say about, aside from the whole "Alex isn't subtle, how haven't they caught her yet?" aspect. I can handle all the rest, but that keeps straining my credulity. Also, Percy and Jai's daddy from CA are like the same person and need to diaf. ugh. I have thoughts on Alex's family/Nikita's reason for stalking her--but also, Michael is vaguely growing on me. I still find him sort of uninteresting, but he's not blah as much? (also, Andre McBride from Painkiller Jane as an enforcer. What a come-down, Andre. Being Percy's top killer)
Eureka. I would appreciate it if Jo got a storyline that wasn't about her love-life. :/
( I'm not sure if these are spoilers, but best be safe? )
