Nikita Season 1 (1 Viewer)

[Brisby]

Does anyone know where I can watch last night's episode online? My DVR recorded it, but some some bizarre reason, there was no sound whatsoever.

Good. I'll just DVR next week's ep and sit on it until I can watch this week's one.

Finally caught up with last week's ep...holy cow, that was a great ending.

They sure work to put the action in this show. Some good stuff tonight. I really think they've built the roles pretty well, and the acting has really started to click as the season has went on.


This show has had two just heartpounders in a row.. that was some great stuff; the last 15 minutes was some good cat and mouse action... damnit! Makes me ready for the finale next week!

Percy sure sacrificed a whole lot of people to "let" Nikita take the box and get it to the CIA. I wonder if we are getting a cliffhanger or something that wraps up the season nicely. Assuming there is a second season, the show could be quite different depending on what happens in the finale. It is sure set up to remake itself.

Solid episode. Pretty good retro-reveal, on Percy's game.


I expect the season will end on a cliff-hanger.

Surprisingly it didn't. It just started setting things up for a new season. Even if the series is canceled it is not a bad place to end things.

I LOVED it. I'm hopeful for a season 2, but it was a real great run for a Season 1.

Just some great tension tonight.. any show that puts me on the edge of my seat wondering what's about to happen is a winner in my book

Just glad if the show comes back, mo' Melinda!

We all knew that Nikita wasn't really dead at the beginning there, but I doubt any of us knew how she was going to escape the Cleaner.

Great season finale, but how did both Alex and Michael escape Division? I kind of doubt they could just walk out the front door. Also could have done without the cliched "riding into the storm" final shot cribbed right out of the first Terminator.


Still, a great capper to the season, with enough closure so that, if the show doesn't get picked up, it will feel somewhat satisfying, but enough loose threads to keep things interesting for a second season. Hopefully the series will continue.

Amanda let Alex out, probably under some escort. Birkhoff assisted Michael's departure. We didn't need to see the details.
Amanda presumably has Percy under lock and key somewhere.

Good ender! Quite satisfying.


So what now? Will they and can they run two simultaneous plotlines following both Nikita and Alex, and also a new group grappling against Division?

Since this episode was in the can long before series renewal, or (probably) contract negotiations, it seems a pretty smart way to end. No one is immediate danger of death. They can consolidate (or throw away) the story lines very quickly to match up with actors that return - or don't.


Season 2 could be "Nikita" or "Alex" , possibly "Amanda" or even "Insane Percy" with supporting casts of the Guardians, the CIA, and Oversight.

I liked it that they have seemingly played Alias in reverse; Alex started out with Nikki trying to bring down the bad guys as a matter of stopping them from their global monopoly. Now, her vengence leads her to want to consider joining with them just for the carnage.. she knows they aren't good guys, but they are offering her what she wants; Nikkita is on the other side.. a whole season to setup how the two went in different ways. Even if it stops here, I'll buy the Blurays when they come out. But I thought it was a great first season, with a lot of possibilities for the future.

Renewed for season two...!
