Nikita

[sardonictart]

So nice to see you, Sean. *sigh* Next time we should see you putting your shit on from the front though. Ahem.

Poor Michael. I honestly cannot imagine losing a hand. And he has to watch another man take his place with his girl too. Oof. Nice acting by Shane West in the last scene.

Anyone else confused by the boyfriend being alive after being shot? Was he wearing a bullet proof vest or something? Maybe I didn't pay close enough attention.

He was wearing a bullet proof vest. He just didn't play it like Owen did when he got shot. No way the guy could be walking around without wincing. Blame the director.

I thought we were done with the Sean & Alex romance. If they wanted to keep Dylan in the cast, then they should have kept his mother alive or given him Ryan's job. Forcing this romance with Alex, weakens him.

I feel for Michael & Nikita. My poor babies. Loved the flashback to the fight with Nikita.

Bumping the thread...

This episode was so entirely unnecessary. I don't think I'm far off base by saying most people assumed Sean was no longer a Seal and was in fact, working with Division. I know he supposedly went back to the Seals or wherever when he & Alex had their little tiff, but come on. You mean to tell me Sean is still a Navy Seal with all of his absences. Really? Usually Craig Silverstein & company don't insult my intelligence like this, but damned if they didn't force us to suspend all belief. The Navy would have booted Sean out of the Seal program by now. If he was on active duty, he'd be stationed somewhere and couldn't just leave when called.

Did we really need an entire episode to bring Sean fully into Division? No. Could Division have been exposed by killing the director and framing Division? Yep. Do I care about Sean & Alex? Nope.

I liked the episode overall (suspenseful, etc.), but the premise it came from was lame as you noted, witchie. I thought that Sean was long gone from the seals and maybe working for the DoD.

[Witchie]

All that bitching I did about last week's ep? Yeah, forget about it. OMG was this was so good. Nikita is hardcore. Damn, girl! A hand for a hand? Damn.

Owen/Alex/Sean...interesting triangle because I don't think there's anything romantic about Alex/Owen. They are just two lost souls with butterflies. They are friends, agents, but Sean probably sees the possibility.

Blatant foreshadowing of a Dynasty-style shootout at Michael & Nikita's wedding. Hurrah for them reconciling. Finally! And all it took were some unkind words from Ari.

Still want to know what is up with Amanda. Why is she so obsessed with Nikita?

[sardonictart]

I think that Amanda is just cuckoo for cocoa puffs hence the Nikita obsession. Good ep overall and yeah, I don't get romantic from Owen and Alex either.

[Witchie]

Sean, please stop being annoying. Alex, please stop being ungrateful. Nikita, please stop mopping and dissecting every single decision that has to be made.

Thanks,

PS: RIP, Ari, you magnificent bastard.

Okay. I admit to crying my eyes out at the end. My boy is gone. I don't see how Alex will ever be able to forgive herself. Good acting by Lyndsy Fonseca in that last scene too.

I know that Owen is popular but honestly, other than the jokes about him being dumb I don't really care for his presence. I even find his voice grating - it's what it would sound like if Jeff Spiccoli became a spy. Oy.

Dayum, Amanda is one psycho bitch! I did not see that coming at all.

Still upset. Goodbye, white hat.

[Witchie]

I was spoiled for Sean's death, so it had no effect on me. I changed the channel before he dropped. How exactly did he die? Did he not realize he was shot at first?

Not sure how Alex is going to come back from this. Don't really care. I'm sorry, but I thought this story line was contrived. We could have gotten to the mutiny & the revelation that Amanda is a crazy ass bitch some other way.

I wonder what Amanda implanted into Nikita's mind. Is it just there since Owen/Sam interrupted Amanda before she could activate it?

[sardonictart]

How exactly did he die? Did he not realize he was shot at first?

Yeah, he thought that he cracked a rib, but it was internal bleeding from a gunshot wound that killed him. I was not spoiled at all, so I came out of the episode a little traumatized. I really liked Sean; he was the only non-criminal on the show besides Ryan (who has been sliding into criminality.) Even though I don't hold views like Sean (heavy patriotism, for example), I really appreciated the presence of someone with a sense of duty that came out of good experiences, not bad like most of the rest of the team. I liked my Boy Scout, gosh darnit! RIP, Seal Team Six-Pack.

Not sure how Alex is going to come back from this.

She sounded so lost and wounded the entire episode. It was just all really sad to me...or it's my hormones playing a trick on me.

I wonder what Amanda implanted into Nikita's mind. Is it just there since Owen/Sam interrupted Amanda before she could activate it?

I do not know, but it's got to be massively psycho whatever it is.

Are we getting a 4th season?
