I’d hate to call this a review. More a recap with commentary! ( This got long, I warn you. )

Hee. Great to be on board.

I think it was a deliberate decision on the makers part not to show anything directly sexual on the screen.

You're right. It goes a lot further than just Keira/Kellog. Meh. Why? Whyyyy? *g*

Also, while I could see Kellog as a hugger (he's always the one who intitiates any physical contact) I can't see Kiera as one

True. But I think she was begging for it in that scene. She came to him because she needed something to hold on to, and even though she didn't want to admit it, she wanted to connect. She was waiting for him to approach, and she didn't run away. It was as close as she is ever going to get to asking for a hug. Or for sex, depending on what you want to concentrate on there.

I do think they slept togetherI would have loved to see that, although the fact that she woke up in her clothes is not actually conducive to that conclusion. But then the whole scene had continuity issues, so I'll just handwave that along with the rest. * ( ... )

I'm not 100% positive about Continuum, but I know Rachel Nichols has stipulated a 'no nudity' clause in previous contracts. Perhaps in later seasons, if she feels that the Powers That Be won't want her to strip every second episode just for the sake of it, that might change!

The one where she wanted the device back and he says "your heart" was the only one that was so over the top that it pinged for me.Oh, I never perceived that as a come on, I thought that was totally to fluster her and put her off her game - and when she did the unexpected and played along, he took it to another level and actually touched her. She backed off so fast, I thought she blurred a bit :-P ( ... )

I don't like non-plot reasons for things, meh. But good for her. Although wearing that suit is almost the same as stripping. ;)

Kiera is a very regimented character who is more than a little repressed. Sex and her sexuality were pinpointed as soft points by Kellog from the start

Yes, it's an easy point of attack with her. Her real vulnerability is her family, though. E.g. look at how extremely she was distracted by Jason and his fake time machine. If that was intentional, it worked perfectly. :D

I do think that Kellog was deliberately placed there to provide an anchor for Keira, and he is still doing his job and following his instructions.

which is why the scene between them at the end of episode 9 is so poignant. It was all about honesty, there was no innuendo.

I would like that very much. It does feel different than the previous come-ons he sent her way. It feels honest - but I'm not sure it is.

I wonder about is the exchange between Kagame and ( ... )
