vyperddWow!!!!!!!!!! What an intense episode and probably my favourite one yet and given how much I've loved each ep so far, that is a very good sign.
Spoilers for 1x04 to follow:
Everything was simply perfect. From the opening scene showing Alex's fear of losing Michael and his need to be with him and the mysterious healing by Uriel to the very end and the mystery (at least to me) of why Whele would want to kill Bixby. Maybe I've missed something and need to go back and rewatch previous eps.
I loved Alex's solution to keeping the tattoos hidden when he was arrested for going AWOL and that dream/hallucination scene was so very powerful in it's imagery.
'She died for you.' I thought this might have been about his mother, only for it to be revealed as being meaningful to Frost and basically saving Alex's life. Nice twist!!!
I'm falling in love with Alex more and more every episode. His bravery in being willing to expose the markings and place himself in danger to save both Vega and her citizens was just wonderful. I had thought he was just going in to negotiate. Was completely surprised when he told Frost who he was.
Wasn't too surprised that Riesen killed Frost in order for Alex's secret to stay one. It's obvious that Riesen will do anything to keep the identity of the Chosen One hidden, until of course it's in his best interest to reveal it.
Uriel is a fascinating character. I totally fell for her whole "side with me and you won't face Gabriel alone" speech to Michael and then she goes and says exactly the same thing to Gabriel. What a conniving, two-sided bitch!!!!! At least she was being honest when she said she wouldn't take sides. And that look at the end when Gabriel was holding her!!!! Pure evil and I love it!!!!!
Think I'm falling for Ethan too. He is just adorable, though I am beginning to suspect he does have feelings for Alex despite telling Arika that they were just like brothers. The look on his face when Alex told him he was seeing Claire was definitely one of disappointment and maybe a touch of jealousy.
Bring on ep 1x05. I can't wait!!!!!!

Date: 2014-07-17 10:02 pm (UTC)In 1x02, that moment when Michael simply picks Alex up and flies off with him. He clearly does not put up with Alex's shit. And then Alex stands up to him. *so hot*
1x03, Michael standing in front of Alex's way to make him stop the car. And apparently, bullets have a tendency not to harm him. And the much appreciated angel whump.
1x04? the scene you mention. Alex avoids having to strip by annoying the guards into beating him and sending him to isolation.
I hope there'll be a little something in 1x05 as well. I can't tell from the promo, but I am excited. Also loved the sneak peek.
Unfortunately Alex as the hero doesn't work for me. The character got better than he was in the pilot, but overall is still too bland.
Uriel.... is an interesting character, I like her playing it safe by telling both Michael and Gabriel she'll support them but only if they basically secure their victory first. However, at least the start of the scene where the three angels talk/negotiate seemed a bit unreal, I felt that the actors should have acted better.
Ethan is cute, but the one character l love is David Whele. Anthony Head is a natural at playing scheming powerful bastards, and I don't mind his accent, which most people complain about.
And now the writers have introduced angel healing by feather, I wonder how many other angelic special talents are going to be there? :D
