Michael just saying goodbye...did not cut it for me. No flashbacks of either of them thinking about each other for six weeks (especially since this was a "sudden" pilot project). No Michael looking secretly on the outside from afar.<br /><br />It appears to me that the writers wanted to re-introduce Nikita's unvoiced question of why she was framed and came to section...this however, was a poor attempt of a foundation for the episodes ahead. Got me thinking about what the conversations were in the writer's room "this is the last season and we've got to re-introduce this topic somehow, but don't worry to waste too much of sleep on it we have 14 more episodes in which we can make up for."<br /><br />I love a storyline with a twist/mystery...but mysteries should be solved or meaning clearly implied with good reasoning.<br /><br />This was indeed a cold chapter,<br />one out of four stars for me<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Petal Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700089728129878511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-8698843413068976322015-07-17T14:47:53.983-04:002015-07-17T14:47:53.983-04:00Awesome goodbye scene with a beautiful song!

When Nikita asked where Michael was after she learned she was leaving and was told Senegal, I thought, "Where's that little communication device from 'Mercy' and Hard Landing'. Contact him! <br /><br />I loved Nikita's other apartment. I hate her new apartment which looks like a car showroom. And the thermostat doesn't work on a swank place like that? <br /><br />Plus, after guarding that head of state in Season One, she could've been set up as a bodyguard of a CEO or something, make a ton of money and use her skills. That would've made more sense than working as a cashier.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15029208771291250193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-52201792726226677282013-06-02T02:12:02.190-04:002013-06-02T02:12:02.190-04:00Michael: "I came to say goodbye."

In short: boring, slow, and pointless.<br /><br />Spoilers follow...<br /><br />After the scene where Michael says good-bye to Nikita (lovely song, by the way), I found my attention wandering constantly. The premise already has an inherent flaw, in that it completely lacks suspense (of course Nikita isn’t free from Section, and of course she won’t assassinate Operations because then there would be no villain). Unfortunately, the script is unable to overcome this liability, as it also lacks excitement and interest: the story is thin, there is no action to speak of, and the pacing is glacial. The writer disguises the lack of a clever story by covering up the plot holes with “mysterious” deceptions, so the audience learns nothing by the end except that the entire episode was just another pointless stalemate.<br /><br />Continuity Issues:<br />Walter and Birkoff would never be so naive as to believe that Section would really start letting operatives go.<br /><br />Logic Flaws:<br />Why wouldn’t Nikita have been searched upon her return to Section? I guess the writer ignored standard operating procedure because Nikita needed to keep the communication device that George gave her. How convenient.<br /><br />Every other plot hole is left as an “open question” so that the writer doesn’t have to come up with anything clever. Also very convenient.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
