Covert Affairs 201-206
Dec. 10th, 2011 09:45 amFinally started watching S2 of Covert Affairs. 6 eps in I have to say that S2 is better than S1. For one, they finally dropped the "Annie pines for Ben" storyline which was very, very cringe-worthy during S1.
Auggie...
... Is still the best thing since sliced bread. I want an Auggie of my own. He's gorgeous and smart and funny and he always has Annie's back and he literally kicks ass despite being blind. And I just love the way he deals with his disability - yes, he deals. Sure, even he tends to hit a low from time to time when he feels like giving up but he's not crying in a corner, moaning about how hard his life is. He deals. And for that alone the character deserves respect!
Now to things I don't like.
The way the writers are handling Jai this season...
Seriously, Jai is the prettiest thing this show has - yes, he's much prettier than Annie or Joan, hands down. But being pretty's not enough. This season, he's being an ass. What happened? Last season, Annie, Auggie and Jai were a team, they always rooted for each other. This season, Jai's been sidelined like whoa! I don't like it. And I don't like where the writers are taking the character :-/
The whole thing with Joan and her husband and the committee and whatnot is a stinking pile of crap. I'm ffwding through it, I admit it freely. It's boring and it slows the plot down to a crawling speed. I don't like it.
The episodic plots are... boring. I can't help it.
On the other hand, Annie? Much more likable this season, definitely. Now that she finally stopped pining for Ben, I like her much more. Before, she reminded me of a love-sick puppy.
The best guest star so far? Oded Fehr, hands down. Man, he's gorgeous. And he has an awesome comedic timing.
