"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

The Company might as well just paint a target on her, and have her walk up and down the mall, and wait for foreign agents to appear.

I think that's next week's episode.

I don't understand why she never carries a gun if she's going to be put in these dangerous positions where she is likely to get shot at.

I also was a little annoyed over the driving thing. Why did she have to pretend that she didn't know how to drive a high performance car? If she did have to pretend, then why didn't she just say that she didn't know how to drive stick?

I'm still a little whiplashy over the Fiona/Michael relationship. I can't quite follow their ups and downs.

I think that's the point. I loved Madeline last night when she said "Sometimes they love each other, sometimes they hate each other, but it's always each other."

I didn't see the Jesse crush from him, but I definitely saw Madeline selling it. When she told the billionaire guy "I think he knows exactly how you feel" I said "bwah? Is she saying that Jesse has a thing for Fiona? Where did that come from?" (I mean, I totally get how he might, but I didn't see it in the show)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think because where would a lower level government employee get experience with that kind of car?

She lives in DC, weird shit happens. All she had to say is "my old boss had one of these"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Sometimes they love each other, sometimes they hate each other, but it's always each other."

I get the premise of an unpredictable on-off relationship. I just don't feel any consistent chemistry between the two leads. I don't think chemistry should be on-off too. I want to always know these people are emotionally engaged with each other, even when they're being businesslike and cool and stuff.

I don't want to have to be talked back into it. I want to feel it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I find Fiona so very unattractive, I probably couldn't see chemistry even if ti was there.

hwæt

Fiona is much more passionate talking about her weapons than she is talking about Michael.

God, me too. She's a big fail for me on the kick-ass woman front. They've toned down her psycho-exness, but for a while there it was overwhelming, and I haven't quite forgiven the character.

She gives decent "I'm going to kill you all" face, but she's such a cardboard cutout of a character (and physically unconvincing as a combatant) that I just can't dig here.

I do get that Michael wants her, but not that often, and she's not that high on his list of priorities.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I begin to worry that *any* two people that don't hate each other have to be put in bed with each other.

what, what? Since when is hate a sticking point.

While we are recasting parts, I'd kind of like to see Stephani Romanov as Fiona.

Because I really don't like thinking about hate incest. It's just worse.

I'd kind of like to see Stephani Romanov as Fiona.

I think she'd act well, but I don't know about the action. Now you're making me want to see Famke Janssen in the role, but she'd totally pwn Jeffrey Donavon.
