I love this so much. It definitely hits home what a mix of creepy-love-isthisok-isitnotok Nikita and Alex's relationship is. Because you want to say that it's fine, it's awesome their friendship, but Amanda (or was it Percy?) wasn't 100% lying when she asked why Alex was going after Division and not her father's company. And god, this dialed that kind of background creepy factor up to ten and left it there.

And I adore the subtle contrast of what Nikita did to Alex and what Amanda did to Alex and what Amanda did to Nikita - it's all there in the beats here.

Plus, oh my god, the lyric, "but that's just poking holes" will never not be creepy.

Oh wow, thanks so much! And yeah, the show does portray it as this awesome friendship, but it's really very troubling - I'm very glad you thought the vid captures all of it. And thank you so much for the lovely rec - I totally agree about the Batman and Robin thing, and with the same creepiness.

You're welcome! I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm in it for the female friendship and Nikita kicking ass, but I'm also really intrigued by the subtleties of their relationship.
