TV commentary:
Nikita- Heh, Birkhoff has a Mordin figure. Nice to see he's a ME fan. Anyways, Amanda concocts a plan to mess with Division by framing Sean for the CIA director's murder. Heh, there's a CIA analyst chick, who they think is the next Ryan, blundering into Division. But given she's played by the Center Stage chick, who's played bad guys in every TV show I've seen her in (OTH, Suits, PLL), it should be no surprise she was secretly a mole working for Amanda. Most hilarious part of the ep? Nikita complimenting her on her shoes, and then stealing them after she kills her. HA, how droll!
But yeah, the only way to get Sean out of the mess was to fake his death and bring him into Division. So now not only is Division doing off book missions, its recruiting new folks. Well, Sean isn't new, but its the first person in a while they pulled the Division recruitment special on. And, they do seem to be foreshadowing Ryan being corrupted into the new Percy.
Degrassi- Whoa, looks like Cam killed himself, with Eli finding the body. Judging from next week's promos, it really messes him up. But onto the people who actually were friends with Cam. Dallas blames Ali and himself, and contemplates throwing himself off the roof until Fiona convinces him not too. Zig fesses up to Maya that he told Cam to get out of Maya's life because he would only bring her down, and he blames himself. Maya tho, finds his confession laughable, as she's pissed at Cam for choosing death, and awkwardly says so in a speech in front of the whole school during a candlelight vigil in his honor. One, she ends up saying he doesn't deserve. Again, talk about awkward! She does reconcile with Tori though.
AC commentary- Started playing the new AC DLC. Interestingly enough, its accessed through a different selection in the menu screen. As such, its technically a new save. So you don't have any of the stuff you gained in the main story. But that kinda makes sense since this DLC has some weird alternate history thing going on where Connor's mom lives and he never became an assassin. Its interesting, because Connor has memories of the original timeline, so something mystical definitely happened. We do have flashes of Connor and Washington and an artifact. I'm not far enough in this new story yet, but perhaps they stumble upon a first world artifact post ACIII main story, which somehow shunts Connor into this alternate timeline where Washington is corrupted by an artifact of Eden and becomes a despot. And we start the story only after he's shunted, and we have to piece together how it got to this point.
Heh, since its been a while since I last played, having spending all my time in the ME series, had to practice a little to remember how the game played. I did have to play the first part a couple of times to get full sync though. Alas, it was one of those things were full synchronization seemed reachable, so since it was in reach, I couldn't stop until I accomplished it.
The first optional objective was to kill 5 enemies without being detected. The first 4 were easy enough, but I had a bitch of a time getting the last kill, as it seemed the remaining guys were in view of other guys. But finally I figured I had to kill steal a guy in the beginning from mother- there's one sentry off to the side, off from the main group, that she takes care of. So I had to beat her to him and get that kill. Then it was just make those 4 totes easy kills to get sync.
The second optional objective was to makes sure no blue coat reinforcements make it into Concord by taking them out with cannon fire. I messed this up the first time, because the guys on horses threw off my timing. But once I got the hang of it, I got it on my second try, after all, if there's one thing I'm good at, its aiming shots.
Lastly, you had to stop bluecoats with torches from lighting up powder kegs in Lexington. So you basically had to just ignore the big groups of enemies and just chase down and kill the runners trying to light the kegs. I did manage to get it on the second try. Hopefully the rest of the optional objectives in the rest of the game are as achievable.
