TV commentary:
Nikita- I was sorta expecting that, but not exactly. They kinda cheated there! I was thinking Sonja was going to bite it, but nope, it was Sean. I mean, I was thinking it could be both. Like I thought Sonja first, and then stuff in the ep made me think Sean was in danger too. And then the big climax happens and everyone's alive, cut to the Amanda/Nikita stuff.
But then it turns out Sean did get shot, he just didn't realize it, and dies from massive internal bleeding. That's kinda BS to make us think everyone's okay, and then twist the knife by being all, "Nope, not really!" But that doesn't bode well for Alex's sanity. And I guess she still doesn't realize she was inceptioned!
Oh, and I'm surprised I didn't pick up on this, with the whole twins in Amanda's story thing, that it was going to be the imprisoned sister who was really the Amanda we know. That was an interesting twist, but I shoulda seen it coming!
ME blather- I'm up to top 3% on the challenge board! I don't think I'll ever get best of the best, because I still haven't successfully solo-ed gold, much less platinum. Plus, the whole playing solo thing does limit my options, as there are just some characters I don't think I'll be able to solo extract with.
But I am do intend to complete everything under the weapon challenges. Like I said, I've done AR, Shotgun, and SMG, I'm 50 kills away from finishing pistol, and then its onto sniper rifles, which should be easy enough. Heh, I already finished the Widow and am working on the Collector sniper rifle, since its not in single player and wanted to see how it played. Its like the PPR and Lancer, in that it doesn't use clips, it slowly recharges its ammo. The continuous fire does make it easier to hit, but also makes it easy to accidentally overheat. Anyhoo, it also makes a cool Dalek blast sound when it fires. Or at least it sounds like the Dalek beam weapon to me. I do have to figure out what the other 6 snipers (since the 100 sniper medals thing is a given) in the challenge I want to use. The mantis, viper, raptor, black widow, and valiant obviously. I don't have the Javelin, and the Krysae and Kishock are kinda weird. I guess it'll have to be either the Indra or the Incisor.
But I digress, under the weapon challenges I still have to finish up Reaper and Combat mastery, I'm close. And I haven't even started on the Collector stuff. The general challenges, I did tech and biotic mastery, unfortunately the only other thing under that I think I'll ever be able to accomplish will be spectre mastery, since that's just earn 5000 medals and 250 million points. And I'm pretty sure I'll easily get to that just trying to complete other challenges. I would love to get solo mastery, but I still need more practice. Or maybe patience.
Under the alien challenges, I got Blood Pack, and am going to go for Commando, since I actually do like playing the salarians, asari, and turians. But alas, I don't think I'll get the rest of them (well, not with that attitude!). Actually, I could prolly do Reckoning. I actually have only 4 left to do in that, and they're accomplishable. Same with Retaliation, I'm going to finish up Collector sniper rifle challenge under it, leaving two more to do. I have no interest in playing any of the Volus, but the other two options are the Turian Ghost and Havoc, both of whom I definitely enjoy. Earth might be a little harder, I've done Destroyer, and I can prolly do the Fury and Shadow, I'm not sure about the other N7s. Actually, I guess I just need one more, because the Earth board extractions should be easy enough.
It will be easier to accomplish these other challenges once I finish up the weapon challenges, because that will free me up to use any of the weapons, instead of having to use the weapons I need to complete the challenges. I
