Riptide: Raiders of the Lost Sub

[katikat]

I think that this episode was the slashiest as of yet. I mean it. And once again, we see pissy!Cody - he really does behave in a bit of an immature way rather often, doesn't he? When I look at those two, Cody and Nick I mean, I sometimes feel like Nick is the older, wiser one and Cody just goes with his head against the wall time and time again. It's strange.

It's like their relationship with Melba - they decide to treat her like a sister and who goes and breaks their little pact intentionally? Cody. Where he was totally enamored with Melba, Nick just felt plain uncomfortable... It's like Double Your Pleasure all over again. Nick doesn't want to have anything in common with the girl, Cody is smashed and of course, he accuses Nick of being jealous. Nick can repeat over and over again that Melba is crazy and that she is after anything in pants, but Cody twists and turns his words anyway. Poor Nick.

But it was great to see Geena Davis! And Lance Henricksen, too! I mean, back then, those two weren't even considered "special guest stars", just plain "guest stars" and look at them today. Crazy :)

It really is slashy, huh? *VBG*

Cody is a boy with a few issues, imho... I LOVE how jealous he's being when they're on the radio, even though he's got nothing to be jealous about. I have completely decided that Cody's in love with Nick, and that Nick just hasn't realised it yet. That Nick loves Cody, but hasn't ever considered *wanting* him.

And Cody's so sure he can't have Nick, hence the jealousy and throwing himself at women.

*hugs*

Hehe, I see it just the other way around. Nick is totally in love with Cody but it didn't even cross Cody's mind yet that there could be more between them/he's uncomfortable with the thought/he's afraid of losing Nick should Nick not feel the same way. And Nick just takes Cody's behavior and forgives him over and over again in the hope that one day, Cody will come to his senses :D

But you are right, Cody has Issues with a capital I, really. It feels like he's gay but at the same time, internally, he is a bit of a homophobe so he tries to repress his homosexual feelings by dating as many women as possible. Nick feels much more comfortable in his own skin...

Nick is totally in love with Cody
Oh, that's a given :) It's just that I don't think he gets it yet

he's afraid of losing Nick should Nick not feel the same way
Oh yes. That's the way I see it.

And Nick just takes Cody's behavior and forgives him over and over again in the hope that one day, Cody will come to his senses :D
Yes. Exactly. I just think he's still labeling it "friendship"

Cody has Issues with a capital I
Hell yes.

internally, he is a bit of a homophobe so he tries to repress his homosexual feelings by dating as many women as possible
*nods*

He does. And it's a very attractive quality. I LOVE how he's not afraid to feel. (BTW: Joe Penny deserved awards for this show - he's great).

I love Joe Penny on this show. I love his smile, it's so bright and genuine! :) Though Perry King plays the nervous and twitchy Cody perfectly too!

[tinx_r]

Yeah, they are both great. I feel like Joe Penny gets more opportunity to explore his role though... Nick gets to display a wider range of emotions, more often, than Cody does

And that's a cute icon *g*

I'm about to watch and pic-spam Something Fishy - have you seen that yet?

Thank you *bows*

have you seen that yet?

Nope, not yet. I usually watch the episodes and recap them immediately, as long as my impressions are fresh :)
