Oh yeah it proves LFN creators decided to not develop this storyline until fans convinced them to make 5th season.Zdeňkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944792942528036935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-18466060323833328522012-01-25T12:21:12.511-05:002012-01-25T12:21:12.511-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Zdeňkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944792942528036935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-90804659848374757372011-10-28T01:40:08.960-04:002011-10-28T01:40:08.960-04:00The only essential thing that came out of this is ...The only essential thing that came out of this is the potential answer to Nikita's question: "Suppose I was framed in the first place because they wanted me here?" Very astute observation, Billie.<br /><br />And the only thing enjoyable here is the rapport between Kruger and Nikita.

There were some good bits: the unique twist on the standard mission requirements, the rapport between Kruger and Nikita, and the suggestion that there might be a darker reason for Nikita’s shadow recruitment into Section. But that was about it. The “B” story was no help either, as I could barely stand Hillinger in his first appearance (“Fuzzy Logic”), and he’s even more unbearable the second time around as his character descends from smug and self-serving to downright evil. His mere presence ruins my enjoyment of Birkoff’s scenes, and that is unforgivable. Plus, didn’t we already have another operative out to get Birkoff three episodes ago (in “Imitation of Death”)? The writers shouldn’t be recycling plots this quickly.<br /><br />Continuity Issues:<br />Apparently, someone (producer, writer, story consultant?) can’t count: two years of training plus three years as a Section operative equals five years ago that Nikita was framed, not three.<br /><br />How believable is it that a Section veteran would risk his life because Nikita appeals to his “humanity”? Not very. Also, it looks as if the plastic surgeons are only allocated to Valentine operatives, as this guy still has a huge scar on his cheek. Such a memorable distinguishing feature is really not a good idea for a covert operative.<br /><br />There is no way that Hillinger would be able to fool Madeline’s psych analysis. An operative must put the mission first, and homicidal tendencies (“Recruit”) and emotional instability (“Off Profile”) are cause for cancellation. He’s been in Section for a year – Madeline would easily recognize that the self-centred Hillinger is a sociopath, and therefore cannot be trusted to be a “team player” for Section. Yet somehow he is allowed to become Birkoff’s assistant? Not plausible. I do hope Birkoff makes good on his promise: “I find out you’re lying to me, I’ll kill you.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
