rogueslayer452I'm gonna switch it up here and talk about one of my newest obsessions: Nikita.
I am totally in love with Nikita, like you have no idea. I'm not going to spoil anything for those who haven't yet seen this fantastic new CW series, instead I'm going to gush over how utterly impressive this show particularly with casting Maggie Q who is, in my opinion, a fine choice in playing Nikita. She is my new wifey, in fact. ♥ I find it amazing and empowering that not only is this show featuring a strong female lead role but she's a minority female lead which, in this business unfortunately, finding Asians to carry on their own show of any kind is rather rare and needs to happen more often. So I'm grateful they gave her a chance and lo and behold, she is kicking so much ass. There just needs more empowering female roles on television in general though so, I hope to God this series sticks around.
Unlike most CW programs this one is promising in fast-paced action, which Maggie Q does the majority of her own stunts and you can see clearly in many scenes that it's mostly all her (which get it, girl!) since she is trained in martial arts from being in many international action movies, the plot is intriguing and the other characters as well. There's also tons of unresolved sexual tension between certain characters and a powerful relationship with another pair and it makes it even more interesting to watch without too much melodramatics being involved.
There aren't many shows on today that I can recommend enough, and with certain shows being canceled left and right I really want Nikita to succeed, it's already been ordered a full season so that's good. Let's hope it keeps up because I absolutely love it and I want to see what directions they take the show.
Did I mention that I love Maggie Q? Seriously. ♥

Date: 2010-11-12 08:36 pm (UTC)saw the first episode a few weeks ago, and powered through the rest of it, and just, christ. so good. naturally, there's a few (but small) things i've not been so keen on, but mostly? fuck yeah. i love that it's a show with strong women who don't instantly fall for the nice guy who saves their life. (say, alex. you go, girl!)
seriously though, maggie q? yeah. ♥

Date: 2010-11-13 06:42 am (UTC)Damn straight, strong independent women kicking some ass and outsmarting people. \O/ Although I heard the network is gonna "revamp" it midseason and have there be a love interest posed for Nikita which, fuck no. Nikita has other plans on her plate than that same-old melodramatic bullshit. She got no time for it, she's a woman on a mission. But that's the CW for you, ruining shows just for ratings. :/ But I don't think it'll change that much, it's doing fine by itself where it is.
And really, we need more shows like this.
