This looks like it's gonna be a knockout. This entire season has been a true treat to watch and I just hope that somehow more people discover what a gem this show is.
Looking forward to this one. I think with it being the mid-season finale it'll go out with a big bang and leave on a major cliff hanger. But I do have to say I wish there was more Michael in it, I miss him being a major player really badly (not a big fan of the Michael daddy storyline here)!
I really hope like you do that more people check out the show and discover how awesome it is! There's something in it for everyone, whether is be action, romance, ass-kicking, etc (it has a little bit of everything). But the show runners really do think out their plot lines and come up with some truly awesome stories, plus Maggie Q. and the rest of the cast do an outstanding job on the show.
It's funny because the CW advertised this basically as a sexy girl does some sexy things (e.g. commercials with Nikita getting dressed in skimpy outfits, getting in hot tubs, and similar things with a clip of a very short fight or snarky comment thrown in) and I almost didn't check it out because of that. But I was bored and did. If I had known the real storyline, how deeply developed the characters were, how amazing the actors/actresses were, and how incredible the action was I wouldn't have hesitated in checking it out.
Now it's one of my favorite shows and I've convinced some other people to watch it, but some of them have been mislead by the CW's advertising scheme.
I agree with you that the writers are doing a great job of plotting but I also think their re-teaming of the characters was a really smart move. Teaming Michael and Nikita gave us occasional romance and a couple that still kicks ass. Adding Birckhoff to that mix has been so much fun to watch. I thought sticking Percy in the X-Men cell was going to be boring but it's allowed him to turn up the devious. he's manipulating EVERYONE. And putting Amanda front and center in Division has upped her deviousness and given her a lot more fun stuff to do. I think this season has been so much better than the first season.
I love Nikita. I wish they would do 40 shows a seasons with no break. A girl can dream. I actually think I like this better than the original. Not really but kind of close.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.

ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to see how Alex handles herself here. I'm wondering if she'll be able to keep her composure.
ReplyDeleteIs there a hint of concern about Alex in Amanda's voice?
