Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

It seems I have less problem with incest when people are dead and soulless, but they also don't hate each other. I'd respect the show more if they did, maybe.
