My thoughts (unpopular though they may be) on this weeks W13
Unpopular opinion but I loved it! So intense and angsty!
Love evil HG! Loved the show down with her and Myka, also love that the door is a little bit open for HG's return.
Loved Myka's resignation-- omg its so like in my fic! I really always saw it as something Myka would consider in the right circumstances. I love seeing that the show agrees with me!!! Perfect!
I'm so mean I know, it breaks my heart to think of her all alone, and the scene bought tears to my eyes, but gosh i love it. I mean...she will be back right????? Right? She better be. Totally different story if she is gone for good of course!!! Death to the writers in that case!!
Really cruel cliffhanger, especially given the lengthy time we have to wait. But I am an angst lover, and I can't wait to see how they win her back. And yeah, did I mention I love that it's just like my fic lol.
In the Myka/HG scene, it really seemed to me that Myka still honestly believed in her goodness. Then at the end it seemed totally the opposite. Still processing that....and HG's motivations and feelings, I feel like i lost my grasp on her character-- though the actress was awesome and the dialogue flawless as always. Still a pleasure to watch the ladies together.
Ok so HG- the thing that bothered me about her all the way through was the extremes-- I never liked the sudden "one of the team good guys" and i didn't like this total and complete fall from grace-- destruction of the whole world. I prefer HG a little more ambiguous, not good, not bad, something for Myka to struggle with and fight with Artie over. It's all resolved now, just over. Not that I don't understand HG, i do, more than Myka appeared to I think. Very sad and powerful actually.
I was a little disappointed in Myka's initial reaction- i expected her to be more a) hurt and totally betrayed and devastated and b) guilty as to what she led the team into....but she was angry- and even that seemed a little half hearted to me. Maybe i'm too hard on her. I expected her to act differently.
Loved the scene with the gun and HG. She played that brilliantly though. They both did. Intense and awesome.
Feel cheated out of a Myka and Artie scene tho!
Myka and Pete had some really sweet moment together sharing their sorrows, but in the beginning they were a little too playful I thought. Loved the scene where she looked so sad when he was on the phone to Kelly. And later when she was talking to him about HG.
Myka looked beautiful- especially when she was so sad! and so many different outfits.
Ah Kelly, well no one will miss you.
Myka's letter was so beautiful.
Now I really want to update both my fics.
God I love this show so much.
It freaks me out that everyone hated this ep and i loved it! I guess it doesn't surprise me, I've always had a different take on the show and my fics have never been popular as my viewpoint has always been a little skewed. But yeah, smashing episode, loved it! Cant keep eyes open to write in more detail, but yes, great!!
Edited to Add: (Because it just occurred to me..) HG is right about the world. It hasn't changed, It never will. Things suck. I get it, I get her. and also- there was a tiny tiny part of Myka (the part that didn't care about destruction of the entire world) that really really so badly wanted HG to fire that gun and put a bullet in her brain. Love it. I really do.
