(Not that sex should be impersonal, of course; the reaction just tends toward the extreme.) The honeytrap is probably one of the most important tools of spycraft, much more so than the pistols and the exploding pens and the glasses with breakaway frames that conceal stilettos. When you need to get close to a target for whatever reason, seduction is almost always the most effective way to do it. I rather doubt Nikita was Division's whore any more than any other agent; she just happens to be the show's focus. I actually would've been annoyed with her for tearing up in the hall had she not been attempting a real relationship at the time. I think it'd say something really terrible about a person if they found passionless murder easier than passionless sex.<br /><br />Diatribe aside, I do think this was uneven as hell. I'm just now getting intro Nikita, though, and I'll take your collective word that it gets better. For now, time for bed.JKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-51829153629837173772012-10-18T08:44:49.491-04:002012-10-18T08:44:49.491-04:00The whole dinner with Michael, Nathan and Alex cre...The whole dinner with Michael, Nathan and Alex creeped me out. The overtones were all wrong. A rare misstep for these writers.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-7656296500597790802012-10-10T06:29:53.465-04:002012-10-10T06:29:53.465-04:00The Nathan arc is something that seems underdevelo...The Nathan arc is something that seems underdevelopped and something I don´t like in season one very much.<br />But speaking of this episode, I have to agree that it´s uneven and Michael behaves like a jerk to Alex. Because I really liked his flashback telling Nikita she would never be Josephine again and now telling Percy that he made that promise to her.

And...Thank you Rebecca. That's nice to hear :)<br /><br />And by the way I hated the character of Ryan the first time I watched the show's two seasons. He bored me to tears. But somehow during my rewatch, I'm appreciating him more.

Knowing Alex used to be on a sex ring I thought the writers were going to wait before introducing a love interest.<br /><br />I love reading your reviews, especially because I can see the perspective of someone who is not a die-hard LFN fan (like me!). I keep comparing and comparing- I can´t help myself, I´ve tried. Although I do believe this is a great show ;)Rebecanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-33459134749141823912012-08-20T11:13:10.322-04:002012-08-20T11:13:10.322-04:00Ryan is a great addition to the show.

He has a great chemistry with Nikki and I realy like how they grow to each other. <br /><br />Nathan - like Jaden and Thom - was a point I didn´t like in season 1. Pretty pointless story arc and like you said it was strange how the writers brought Michael into this story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
