*waits* *bites nails* Ack, this BB art claiming thing is kind of nerve wracking.
damn, that was a good ep for WC. Well-constructed, unpredictable, and hee, I love it when Peter's doing the con.
Peter go home to your wife! (I know he can't what with her not being there, but still. I miss her).
Covert Affairs:
- ok, Gregory Itzin as Sendhil Ramamurthy's dad is either the most awesome or hilarious thing ever. I can't decide. President Logan is Mohinder's dad! *snickers*
- I know it bugs some people, but I like that Annie's got talent but not always skill. She doesn't do everything perfectly, though she does a lot very well. But she can still be outplayed and she's still learning. As I wrote somewhere, each week is a little life-lesson in the Agency. This week's was a "how far is too far" lesson, going into the moral quandary problem (something I'm sure we'll be seeing more later)
- I like that Ben is an active part of the mythology. eta: as someone else pointed out: Ben is not the Kate (from White Collar). They're both somewhat motivating forces, but Kate was/is more of a Macguffin that Neal's trying to find (she's really more like Michael's thing on Burn Noticeer and acts as the string that keeps the eps together in order). Whereas Ben might have somewhat inspired Annie to get into the biz and she obv still cares for him, he isn't her sole motivator. She knows he's out there, but she's not (at least so far) using all the assets at her fingertips to find him. Instead it's kind of the reverse, in that Arthur's trying to use HER to reel him in. So, I don't know if that's "better" exactly, but it's different, at least.
- "There'll be a girl here before I even get across the bar." And there was! Well-played, show.
and of course, I've sat on this entry so long I completely forgot what else I was intending to say...

This was actually one of the things that I really liked about the fight at the end of the pilot--that she was over-matched and needed help. She was fabulous and didn't give up, but the other guy had, like, a hundred pounds on her and had killed for a living.
Her being completely perfect would have left no room for anyone else to have a line.

And people complain she IS perfect, while others bitch that she's too stupid to live, and I'm just done with that fight, y'know? bah.
