Kensi - Part 2

I will be continuing my dissection on Kensi in this post.

In season 3, Kensi actually turned out to be the most developed character on NCIS:LA aside from Deeks. She was so well nuanced, realistic and enjoyable to watch. The Kensi Blye 2 parter was an absolute treat to watch and revealed so much more of the character and explained her motives and past. And in season 3 Kensi startd having her emotions of the surface and displaying them much more frequently than in season 1 which in turn made her seem more human which made her more likeable. I don´t know about others but I want TV characters to be humane and relateable.

And the best treat is her interaction with Deeks. Those two are so much fun to watch. They both keep me laughing and still I find it also god how their complicated but trusiting relationship is portrayed. They are the equivalent of Tony and Ziva. I am looking forward to seeing how the character will continue to develope and change and I am absolutely enjoying the way she is now and from the looks of it, it can only get better.

And Daniela Ruah does do a great job of portraying Kensi.

And to end this dissection

Things I like about Kensi as a character
-Her humour
-The fact she is not particularly obsessed with cleaning or cooking
-Her wardrobe is so nice, simple but stylish (I regularly think 'Oh, I want this t-shirt')
-Her wonderful relationship with Deeks
-The fact that she can speak good French!
-Her well nuanced emotional life and expressions
-The fact that she´s not guy obsessed

Things I don´t like
-How often she is sexualised as a character
-The fact that she always as to perform crazy ninja moves undercover when dressed sexily
-That her tactics are sometimes to good to be true
-Those scenes where her, shooting a gun, is supposed to be sexy or cool. Try as I might, I don´t find anything sexy about guns. And the scene in one episode where she is dressed in a burkah and then pulls out a rifle and starts shooting everyone around her bothers me a lot. I think it was meant to be a cool scene but all I could think was how much this reminded me of Anders Breivik and and the massacre in Utoya.
