#oliver wolf and josh nichols

Brilliant Minds episode 8 is maybe my new favorite thing. Here are my musings:

Wolf and Nichols acting like horny teenagers was so fun and funny at the same time. Like you’re two grown adults both with a whole ass office to lock the damn door.

No but I loved all their scenes. And I’m happy their little drama didn’t last long and Wolf didn’t let Nichols end things before they started cuz his mother scared him. They had me worried for a moment after Nichols was all let’s be coworkers. You could tell he didn’t actually want that. He kind of looked like he wanted Wolf to fight him on it and he looked sad when he didn’t. So I’m glad Wolf figured it out.

But also when Wolf thought Nichols came to his office to pick up where they left off in the elevator and he says lock the door this time I can only handle my mother walking in on me so many times. How many times has that happened Wolf?? That implies way more than just the elevator today??

I love the little banter they have eating takeout. Wolf coming for him cuz he wasn’t using chopsticks. It’s very practical of Nichols to say he can use chopsticks but he prefers the efficiency of the fork.

Also Josh was so humble. Wolf is all another miracle by Dr. Nichols and he just kinda looks all….like this isn’t about me. Very demure, very mindful. But in all seriousness I like they started off in ep one making him seem a little god complex surgeon stereotype but as we got to know him more we see he’s nothing like that. And actually quite humble for a surgeon.

It was adorable how Nichols stands all military-like after they get caught in the elevator. Probably old habits die hard but Wolf was all embarrassed and oh hell no not again Nichols is all reflexive military stance with a hint of dear god don’t fire me.

Also Josh “I can be intimidating” Nichols. Show me cuz all I’ve seen is flirty surgeon. No but please do I’d love to see intimidating Nichols.

Wolf has good taste in men. That college bro he kissed was also quite fine.

Boy do I have words for Wolf’s mother. I get some of her point like seeing the AIDS crisis probably would make her afraid for Wolf at the time but also like Wolf says she was his mother she still should have talked to him. And my heart was breaking for Wolf as he talked and got all that out about how he felt, like he did something wrong. Like no Wolf, you did nothing wrong 😭 you’re a perfect little cinnamon roll.

“I didn’t need protection, I needed love.” 😭

Also Wolf’s face when Nichols says more like 60/40 was priceless. It was giving you are betting against us? But then his face lights up when he says you’ve proven me wrong before. And that little Nichols smile temporarily fixed my anger at Wolf’s mother.

While I want Van and Ericka to work I’m concerned they will make this love triangle into a bigger drama. And she will end up with Jacob or have a thing with him yet.

The case of the episode was also a ride. Extra points for Susan Bay Nimoy and the nods to Leonard Nimoy and Spock.

You see how Wolf went and fought for his relationship, Tim? You see how Wolf and Nichols work through the hiccups in their relationship, Tim? THATS how you write a relationship with hurdles

After ep 9 of Brilliant Minds I’m still here:

Wolf admitting things ACTUALLY MIGHT BE EASIER with a cellphone.

Josh GETTING HIM an iPhone.

Wolf USING said iPhone.

Icing on the cake Josh put his name in the contacts. And he put it in as Dr. Josh Nichols. I think it’s cute he had to specify doctor. But his cute lil note was just Josh.

Also,

Text me, you luddite

Josh, you’re adorable.

Like Josh spent a lot of money on a phone JUST to be able to talk to his boyfriend. Probably had to put Wolf on his phone plan cuz it’s more practical than trying to teach Wolf like a prepaid option. He is smitten. And Wolf broke his anti-tech lifestyle for Josh and accepted and used the phone. He too is smitten.

They are smitten.

Also FINALLY someone got him a phone. I’ve been waiting since ep 1 for someone to shove a phone into this man’s hands. I wish we had had an actual scene with Wolf/Nichols together but I got my phone wish sooooo 🤷‍♀️
