It has nothing to do with the quality of the show, which I agree, is far better than the ratings reflect.

If Nikita can keep the costs under control and the limited run status doesn't impact the ratings then I wouldn't be too surprised if we got a 5th season. A 6th mind you I would guess is unlikely as the cast/crew pay rises and bonuses will make it harder for it to make financial sense”
I just don't see it. There's only so long that the online distribution deals are going to save it, and now that it's hit the syndication numbers I think they'll take the opportunity, creatively, to wrap things up with the remaining episodes.
You're right though, you never know, so I should probably have not been quite so definitive in my original assessment of the chances of a fifth season.
