    Wow, easily my favourite of the season so far!  Even Nina and Hicks weren't as annoying as usual :P

    This Alpha team is going to have to go rogue eventually.  The people they're working for keep crossing the line and violating their rights.

    Hmmm, along with Rachel I find their acting a bit weaker, and their 'affair' feels like it's only there to involve them more without using their abilities. What they can do, Nina esp, is too powerful and could be too easily used to escape any situation, so having them 'tied' to each other feels like a way to dumb that down in some ways. I also find their dubious flaws (rent free living for example) a little distasteful for good guys, lol.

    I don't think the show is using a relationship to shift focus away from the characters' powers.  I've been assuming that they put those two together because it was an easy way to accentuate the emotional vulnerabilities of both characters, because that's what they've been focusing on with Nina and Hicks.

    Hicks has some esteem issues and, while those issues have made him kind, he's also a bit sensitive and emotionally fragile.  Nina, who also has a few latent esteem issues, doesn't trust herself very much when it comes to her abilities and doesn't really protest the the notion that she's a bad influence, as stated by Rosen.  It's their relationship that was used to bring all of this to the forefront.
