I do feel that he was often on the fence about how he truly felt about the others. There was an episode or two where he seemed to be selfish and uncaring. I think he himself felt torn since he wanted so badly to leave. I liked the complex character. It made him seem more real. Although I didn't cry, he will be sorely missed...Summernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-46366252378068036382021-04-16T11:06:46.334-04:002021-04-16T11:06:46.334-04:00I liked it more than some of you.

I loved the episode, and I wished that Birkoff hadn't died, because I didn't like his brother. If there were similarities between this episode and some other show, I didn't really care, because it was different. To me, it showed how intelligent Birkoff was. Unfortunately, he created the AI computer a little too well, because it ended up taking over. Operations and Madeline were upset, which was not unexpected. But, everyone else that they brought to replace Birkoff, I never cared about. I agree with some of the previous comments, the only people that I cared about were Michael, Nikita, Walter and Birkoff. By the end of season 4, I hated Davenport.<br />I think that they were trying to wrap things up. This is similar to Alias, where they kill off some of the main characters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-27787237692126061912012-06-16T19:25:31.974-04:002012-06-16T19:25:31.974-04:00Actually the only reason I kept watching was becau...Actually the only reason I kept watching was because I still loved Operations and Madeline the most. :) They were always the most interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-39560663156956546542010-12-06T21:55:02.268-05:002010-12-06T21:55:02.268-05:00My initial reaction: “What the [censored]?!?” F...My initial reaction: “What the [censored]?!?” Followed by: white-hot fury. The idiotic and derivative over-the-top AI story is bad enough to suffer through, but to kill Birkoff? That is idiocy of the highest order! <br /><br />Let’s be blunt: thanks to the new showrunners, the quality of LFN scripts has plummeted to embarrassing lows, plus the characters of Operations and Madeline have devolved into cartoon villains. The ONLY reason loyal fans are still watching is because they care about the four remaining characters: Michael, Nikita (who has been acting out of character for most of the season), Birkoff, and Walter. <br /><br />Except now there are only three remaining characters for the audience to care about. <br /><br />With so little left for viewers to enjoy, killing Birkoff cannot be justified as a “dramatic” or “creative” decision – it amounts to completely disrespecting the audience. Fans now have even less reason to stick with the show, as, unlike Walter, Birkoff’s function was an essential part of each mission, and so his absence will be constantly felt in every future episode.<br /><br />I can’t blame the cast and crew of LFN for feeling so frustrated as Season Four wore on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
