Okay, so I'm finally watching Numb3rs 5x23 "Angels and Devils", because that is actually the episode I stopped watching at, not 6x01. I'm about 4 and a half minutes in and ( spoilers )
Okay, okay, FORGIVE ME, but I have to say the Ian/Nikki thing seemed kind of random to me! I mean, I am perfectly happy for them, and it was kind of funny how she blew off Liz, but it just seemed sudden/random. So I'm not 100% on board yet!
I had to back up the video and play it back to make sure she'd actually called him that. I was like, could it be...? Ha.
I am rediscovering how GREAT this show is, and I'm loving every minute of it. I watched 6x02 and Colby and David had their DATE, which you guys had told me about when it aired but then I completely forgot about. So all of a sudden Colby was pulling out David's chair and I WAS DYING. CUTE.
hehe. Well, since it's been a while for you and this show... let me recommend going back to episode 5.01 - High Exposure. Watch Ian/Nikki there... and then 5.23 won't seem so random. :) (I'll bring you on board this ship if it kills me. haha.)
OH, I did forget about that! I mean, I still don't remember it without re-watching, but okay, good to know there was some previous canon backing that up.
I still don't know about the ship, though, because I am so on board with Liz/Nikki. And it didn't escape my notice that in the first episode basically EVERY SHOT of either of them was BOTH of them together, standing next to each other or exchanging meaningful glances, etc. Sooo...
Well, I'll forgive you for the Nikki/Liz. ;) To be honest Nikki has quickly become my version of the fandom's little black dress. Pair her with anyone and I'm gonna drool. I just happen to have a particular fondness for Ian/Nikki since I totally called it from the first time they saw each other. LOL. I mean, I literally wrote Two of a Kind that night after the episode. I love when my personal canon becomes reality like it did in 5.23 Angels and Devils. hehe.
Now, if I could just get those David/Liz babies to play out in canon some how. I'd be doing something. Hmmmm. Tina and I have decided that Colby and David need their own spin off show.
It is POSSIBLE that I have decided to interpret that scene as Colby wanting to be able to contact David more easily to arrange THREESOMES with hot ladies he meets in bars. Maaaaybe.
I'm like ten minutes into 6x04! Finally some more Liz. Definitely looking forward to 6x05. :-)

hahahahaha. I love it. That's awesome.
Personally, what made that scene HILARIOUS to me is knowing that Dylan is completely off the radar. No Facebook, no Twitter, no social networking of any kind while Alimi is a social network addict! I loved the role reversal in that scene. Funny. *luffs her boys
Okay, I watched Hydra! That was a fucking epic episode! Man oh man. Okay so obviously I definitely see what you are talking about, but now I will NEVER BE ABLE TO WRITE SIMPLE SCHMOOPY BABYFIC AGAIN. There will always be that ping of ANGST in the back of my head. Oh Liz. Sigh!
(On another note, I love love loved Tony Hale's character in that episode. Haha.)
I knew you'd agree with me that (a) the episode was fucking epic! and (b) there is no way to deny the David/Liz canon. LOL. That was seriously one of the greatest episodes of Numb3rs ever, and not just for the David/Liz. That one really got to me. It was emotionally draining and yet uplifting and we learned so much about our favorites that we'd known for so long.
When Don tells that guy he'd like to have a couple more years with him mom? Why don't you go ahead and kick me in the shin. It will hurt less. Such a beautiful, beautiful episode.
As for the David/Liz Liz baby angst? I'm totally with you. I didn't write baby fic for her until after that episode and then when I did, it was an emotional effort. But, in my fic, she has David... and that makes it better. :)
Nikki calling David mini-Don was one of my favorite Nikki moments, ever. LOL.
*sighs* I miss this show.
