(Plus I just realsed that my Tivo didn't record it. I set the Link to 'new only' and it says last nights was a repeat. So that's even weirder )
Nikita episode 11 is not on digiguide anymore as its finished being shown but the times I checked it it always said E11 repeat, it never once said it was a new episode hence why I was getting confused at your posts where you were on about it saying it was a new episode.
Hey guys, is it worth starting to get into Nikita now? Saw a trailer and quite fancied sky plussing the rest of the series.
Well worth it but you have missed a lot of the story, may be worth visiting a site like TV.COM to read up on past episodes or try to watch them online.
Had forgotten there was a Russian back story with Alex, had it been mentioned before?
Yes, there was some talk of her being trafficked for sex, although I think that was part of a cover. I don't recall if she was Russian or some other Eastern European.
Probably not. It was filmed in Canada unlike the new version. This is the cast list:
Peta Wilson as Nikita
Roy Dupuis as Michael
Matthew Ferguson as Birkoff
Eugene Robert Glazer as Operations
Alberta Watson as Madeline
Don Francks as Walter
The original is superior but the new one is different enough to hold its own...and is pretty good.
I prefer the new one. The original was pretty weak to big with, in my view. Very clichéd. For example, in almost every episode the bad guy would start by killing his best friend, only son, or most trusted lieutenant, just to demonstrate how bad he was. It got more interesting as Nikita progressed and we got more into the characters. And then it became boring again, to the point where I stopped watching long before the end.
Enjoyed last night episode, with the 'Georgian Royal Family'...evil that Kristina, but nice to see Alex hit her at the end.
But this 'Mission' for Alex, didn't seem the type, she would be doing, now she's on the Outside, thought she'd be doing, more undercover ops for the Division.:rolleyes:

It is good for what it is I like Maggie Q but did wonder if she had lost some weight from when she was in Die Hard 4.0
As a stand alone series Nikita is very enjoyable.
Though I thought Le Femme was in many ways better.
I do fancy Melinda Clarke something rotten though & that red outfit last week with the boots!! :eek:
It wasn't a great episode. Ryan and Nathan overload. But it's out of step with most of the back half in that regard. Better installments to come including next week's.

But could Division, get a better Car for My Alex, then a Kia.:eek:

I don't like the Neighbour.:mad:....and the 'Kill Chip'.:eek:
Did Alex buy anything in the Homeware section at the Shop.:rolleyes:...with her talks with Nikita.;)
Nice touch with Maggie Q introducing the Episode.....and how does she evade capture...loved the synchronized fight scene, with Michael.:cool:
This maybe explains Alex's awe at getting a Kia Sportage

Think one of these might have been better

Even this would have been better.;)
Can't wait for the Optima.(They don't do a drool icon on DS)
Not sure about that
I've never seen that, so can't compare. But I think Nikita is awesome.
I'm a big fan of La Femme and I have to say this is definitely equal to it from what I've seen so far, Maggie Q is excellent.
her cover story might have to change slightly. Spies are supposed to be low key. Only James Bond takes a different view on it...
i laughed when i seen it, i was like really a Kia, nothing wrong with them just not really the vehicle you would expect.
I dont trust the neighbour, my gut feeling is he works for division and has been placed there to watch her.
My thoughts too....and as soon as I saw him...... He's Trouble
:cool:
I have.

Is there anybody in it who I would have heard of? I only planned to watch this as I'd miss Shane West since he left ER, but I love it.
Wasn't that pretty much spelt out at the end? When they were checking on all the agent's locators, there was a second one in Alex's building.
Probably not. It was filmed in Canada unlike the new version. This is the cast list:
Peta Wilson as Nikita
Roy Dupuis as Michael

Nikita and that Dress.:p...and the Sword.:eek:
Alex and the old Finger Trick.:cool:
And Michael with the Tape, at the end......:eek:
I believe she's Ukrainian.

And Alex, with her poorly set up Cover Story....with Mike turning up for Dinner, was crazy.:eek:
And Nathan getting cosy with My Alex.....so predictable.:yawn:
