Jake 2.0

Chris Gorham's cute, he was cute on Odyssey 5 (that's the earth blowing up show, which had some great eps -- hopefully there was enough material that we'll see the show released on DVD), and he's cute on Jake 2.0 . I watched the premiere, which was, y'know, the usual, shiny, moderately interesting, pilot, but last night's episode was genuinely decent, plus it satisfied what is probably my only major kink, so hey, happy happy.

Keeping it spoiler free:

One thing I was not expecting from the show was for there to be *any* warmup in terms of Jake becoming Secret Agent Man™. And this episode showed him *training* for a *job*, with the strong implication that regardless of being '2.0' he might never get sent out into the field if he couldn't learn to *see* what needed to be seen, and *do* what needed to be done.

I had kind of assumed that post-pilot Jake would just start getting sent "out there" to accomplish missions with no on-screen time invested in making a real transition. So it was a pleasant surprise to be wrong.

Oh, and the major kink?


I like it when they faint, and when the EMP box goes off and Jake's flung around and collapses, that hit my buttons. Even better that he then has to get up and defeat the bad guy.

*licks lips*

I think I like the idea of a person, particularly a man, being overwhelmed or overcome - whether it's by emotion or pain or pleasure, whether it's willingly experienced or not. My off-the-cuff self-analysis, natch, but I like that...'breaking' point when something is so big it can no longer be contained.

Of course you did

I sat here for a good minute when I was typing this up, thinking, do I have any kinks as big as this one? Anywhere even near?

Couldn't think of a ding-dong-damn thing.
