The CW's Nikita

[Primal Slayer]

I am not ready for this show to end! Why couldnt we get 12 episodes instead of 6! They have been SO GOOD!

 

[flickchick85]

I know! This supports my argument that all shows should have shorter seasons, though - no time for filler! Though I think the ideal length would be 12, like you said.

Two more episodes!! It should be fun the final confrontation with Amanda, this show is so much better than most of the crap we have these days (like Agents of Shield). I would love to see Maggie Q in Arrow, maybe as a villain working for the LOA!

 

[rashad]

Yeah I'd love to see her on Arrow.

Yeah, Nikita is more intense and is what Shield should've been. Hope Maggie Q does a lot of great roles after this.

Lady Shiva!!

Things went into overdrive this week with the stuff in Dubai feeling a little rushed. The Shop are almost ridiculously omnipotent at this point but I'll let it slide. I knew Amanda couldn't die that way, Nikki has to kill her woman to woman!

I like the side story going on with Alex and Sam, her play to test him was smart. Next week sees Nikita and Alex back in tandem though! t:

Lady Shiva!!

Hell yeah!

Yes!!

 

[Primal Slayer]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm not ready for this last episode. This was already playing with my emotions. Im going to need them to start a kickstart like yesterday and give us a Nikita movie.

Last night's episode was sort of the calm before the storm. But, a very interesting and consequential sort of calm.

Shaping up to be a more than good farewell to a show that is underappreciated and not watched by more people.

 

[flickchick85]

Good set-up, and it's great to see Alex and Nikita FINALLY back together for the finale. I'm just not ready for it to end.

 

[KenK]

I loved that last scene with her and Alex. They are gonna tear Amanda a whole new EVERYTHING!!

 

[Hunter Rider]

I had a feeling Ryan was gonna jump out of that window to send a message to Nikita. Loved Alex saving Sam, talk about lethal!

Going against the Senators plan doesn't really make any sense but with only one ep left I guess they have no choice. The last shot of Alex throwing Nikki the shotgun was so beautifully 80's!

I KNOW, RIGHT?!?! It was like Nikita was saying "Let's tool up, b****! Tonight, we're going TOTAL RENEGADE!"

 

[Primal Slayer]

Playing Xena/Buffy/Dark Angel on my ps2 got me to thinking that it is to bad they dont make games for tv shows like they used to. A Nikita game would be GREAT.

 

[terry78]

Nikita is a cold ass *****. Left her to rot in that basement.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Dat ending! Perfect finale! CW should've given us a look back special like we got for GG and 90210. Not like Carrie Diaries was new tonight.

 

[Obsidian Idea]

They skipped an ep though...what happened to the episode "Bubble?" I didn't see what happened with Ryan and Amanda's face...

 

[Primal Slayer]

That was last week.

 

[KenK]

Nikita is a cold ass *****. Left her to rot in that basement.

Amanda/Helen will go down as one of my favorite TV villains of all time. I loved how they developed her and her relationship with Nikita, specifically. Nikita played her a damn fiddle in the end!

 

[Mikelus]

Unlike so many other series finales, Nikita delivered!! Amanda got owned, the teacher beaten by the student hehehe... t:

Definitely, one of the most underrated shows ever... Warner/The CW should cast Maggie Q for Arrow or another DC show or movie down the line, she's a good actress (better than many Hollywood stars for sure), she really deserves it.

 

[kguillou]

This was a great finale. I am very glad we got a happy ending for these characters...[BLACKOUT]except Ryan of course [/BLACKOUT]. These characters have been through so much and they deserved to have some peace.

All in all everyone got what was coming to them and I was INCREDIBLY pleasantly surprised with the deceptive twist in the episode. It showed that Nikita has grown as a person and has become a better person over the course of this show. Very well done.

This was such a fantastic show. I'm baffled as to why this was not watched by many people. I really think this is case of being on the wrong network. Even though the CW is gradually morphing into a genre tv haven with shows like Arrow, and the Vampire Diaries and the Tomorrow People, I think Nikita was a bit too hardcore for the CW's demographic. The show tried at times to shoehorn in some typical CW "lovey-dovey" elements to try to win back some viewers but that just wasn't what the show was. I really believe that this show would've been perfect on FOX, it could've been the next 24.

But, alas. I am very happy we got three amazing seasons and a 6-episode finale to wrap things up instead of being cancelled prematurely.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Nikita is over. But it was a good finale with the [blackout]ol' sleight of hand trick and all that. The viewers got treated like Amanda![/blackout]

But yeah the show was pretty hardcore for the CW audience. Not enough shirtless dudes and silly romance/breakup drama and teen issues for them I guess. The comic book movie audience should have taken to it more than they have so far though. Maybe some day more of them will discover it.

Anyhow I'm happy it got to last over three seasons.

 

[terry78]

The issue is that the lead character was female, but she didn't have enough female problems for the women demographic, and her being a chick wasn't enough to get the male demo.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Great finale! I was so sure that it was gonna be a bleak ending that as Nikita seemed to spiral further out of control it had me completely sucked in. The twist was perfect, Amanda beaten at her own game, and it was so well executed.

I liked the endings for each of the characters and Nikita's voice-over epilogue, great way to wrap things up while setting the characters on new paths.

Hopefully the show will be discovered down the line by people who missed it first go around. A real underrated gem.
