I just finished watched Nikita's latest episode...and what an episode.....Everythign was awesome and the way whole episode was designed...First tht good-for-nothing recruiter (forgot ehr name) giving the thumbprint to Thom and then Thom dieing only to have the card in his pocket...It so badly implicated him....That thumbprint idea was a stroke of genious!! But tht recruiter is still out there and I think she might just open ehr mouth sometime but it wuld be to Michael hopefully!!!
I am so dead sure that Michael SUSPECTS Alex's involvement with Nikita...He wasnt born yesterday to think tht Alex could take Nikita single handedly when the whole Division force couldnt get her!!!....She gave a smart reply but he isnt a fool!!!....But here I have to give it to Alex...She is very smart...she knew she cannot accept she took Nikita in all the fairness...and hence, she simply says, she didnt...when Nikita bent to pick her gun for michael, she made her move....That would shut Michael but he is no stupid...he knows Nikita and knows what she is capable of...That one distraction wasnt enough to take Nikita down!!....He suspected right from the moment Nikita replied back tht she is in Zohan's house.....and then when he saw Nikita sprawled on the floor with Alex attack!!!
Lets see if he changes his view after Thom's death...I dnt think so...
Alex was brilliant.....I love her chemistry with Nikita and I love her chemistry with Michael....She is good with everyone, even that good-for-nothign recruiter whom she challenged...
Michael and her scenes were brilliant especially when he tells her to say her gun jammed!!!....Then the best Alex scenes were with Thom in my mind...the last one...the irony of the episode was how hard Nikita tried to avoid Alex to kill her target, Alex ended up taking a life, that too of her friends....and the irony was blended very beautifully in the episode....
Now, coming to Nikita.....
I had two best scenes in this episode....(apart from others which were very very beautiful too but these two scenes sticked out for me)
1. When Nikita escapes and comes outside the clinic room and sees Michael injured...That brief eye lock and the look of concern on her face took my heart away!!...Micheal couldnt ignore it...Although, he had to do his duty and inform her presence but tht moment was brilliant....
2. The warning that Nikita gives to that psychatrist (what was her name again???)....she tells her that right now she would be wondering whoelse is gng to save her....and the roof explodes and her shackles come out...The look of fear on that fearless psychatrist was like quenching your thirst!!!...That woman remains hidden in her den and thinks she is emotionlesss fearless being but today was mirror on the wall for her!!
But I just wish they would have shown Nikita fulfilling her threat to her....even if the Psychatrist was released atleast hold her throat for sometime....Torturing Nikita with those videos was cunning!! sheer cunningness and they shld have shown Nikita attacking her!!
but it was brilliant how Nikita rises from the floor and runs after her!!
I love how Nikita and Alex look at each other's back....
I totally loved the episode and I am dreading the winter hiatus!!
