This is where they're losing me already. Alex is my favourite character. I know this might make me sound like a male version of a female Supernatural fan ... but does Alex really need a "love interest" in this show? Sure they do seem to be weaving him into the plot unlike they did with the pointless peripheral Nathan. But I can't help but be skeptical about the primary reason for his inclusion. Doesn't Nikita already have two nemeses in Alex and Amanda? Hell why don't they just bring in Owen? He's at odds with Nikita/Michael on the black box issue and he could help Alex work her own agenda against oversight on the sly.

I wanted the new series regular to be some Russian heavy that could work the Zetrov angle in the story arc.

Season 2 spoiler scoop

Nikita and Michael will use the information contained in the black box to begin undoing the decades-long wrath of Percy. First up: They'll help a captain who was framed by the now-former Division leader escape from military prison. Unfortunately for the star-crossed — and ass-kicking — couple, Alex will be hot on their trail.

S2 scoopage

Would LOVE some Nikita scoop when available, which I’m hoping is now. I’m going through serious withdrawal! — Amy
Aren’t we all? Here’s a bit of casting intel: the show is currently casting the role of Sean Pierce, a 20-something estranged son of a certain female senator who is recruited to Division in order to help track down Nikita and Michael. This mysterious, by-the-books man proves to have an interesting dynamic with revenge-seeking Alex. And by “interesting,” I mean these two trust no one, especially each other. In other news, Michael might be getting a job offer from Amanda and we learn that even though Nikita has been unlucky in life, she does pretty darn good at the craps tables.

Episode 2.02 of Nikita will be called "Falling Ash" and will feature an evil genius called Joseph Mars who creates sleeper assassins out of his patients

Xander Berkley talks Nikita season 2: http://ie.tv.ign.com/articles/118/1181531p2.html

Thread split off from Season 1 thread.
Division made me do it.

Few nikita tidbits from around the net, not much until Comic-Con:

Ausiello Question: I’m going through major Nikita withdrawal over here! Any spoilers you can give us for Season 2 that will tide me over till the show returns? —Leslie
Ausiello: Weapons are expensive, and with no division insider, Michael and Nikita are flat broke. What are a bunch of trained assassins to do? Find a benefactor — and quick!

Nikita
Episode 2.02 is called 'Falling Ash.'

In the episode is Alicia, a seemingly pretty, adorable and spunky next-door-type girl. She was also fired from her dream job because of a drug addiction and the man she sought help from may just have turned her into a sleeper assassin.
That man is Joseph Mars, a crepy-looking and brilliantly twisted neuropsychiatrist and takes money to do anything and for anyone... he may also have a secret with his experimental psychotropics!

DeWitt · 15-07-2011 11:09pm

Yay, I really like him. So much more handsome & capable as an actor than Shane West. Loved him on Being Erica.

Lirange · 16-07-2011 8:59am

Sleeper assassins? Really? What is this Dollhouse? Veering off into sci-fi/fantasy it seems.

DeWitt · 16-07-2011 1:34pm

Hey now, nothing wrong with Dollhouse.

Shane West is doing an excellent job on the show

DeWitt · 16-07-2011 10:02pm

He's grown on me a lot. I don't hate him as much as I did during the beginning, but I still think they made the wrong decision casting wise.

Richard Dower · 21-07-2011 4:00pm

Episode 2.03 of Nikita will be called Knightfall

Devon Sawa has hinted on Twitter he'll be back on Nikita :-)

DeWitt · 21-07-2011 6:49pm

@MagicBranch (series writer/producer) has already confirmed he'll be back. Can't wait.

The CW has ordered one additional episode of Nikita so this brings Nikita's second season to 23 episodes.
The move is part of new CW president Mark Pedowitz's plan to shorten rerun periods, according to Deadline.

Extra episodes are always welcome, but why does 90210/GG get one more then Nikita/Superntural

I think Jensen, Jared, Shane and Devon need to start releasing nude pics or videos of themselves

Hi Sandra — I would love some fresh Nikita scoopage — preferably NOT about Mikita. How about some new Alex tidbits… like, does she have to give up her cool digs, car and clothes now that she doesn’t actually work for Division? What about prospects for new friends this year? Without Nikita or Michael to hang out with, she has like zero friends (who aren’t now dead or scared of). Thanks! — Adele
This is Alex we’re talking about. Girl’s got style. I wouldn’t worry about her being less than her best — or at least demanding it if anyone tries to give her otherwise. And as far as friends, she seems pretty happy hunting down Nikita, which she proves to be pretty good at considering she knows many of Nikita’s tricks. The only “new” friends this year seem to be old friends that we’ve never met. For example, the show is currently casting the role of Kelly, a very good friend of Nikita’s who worked with her at Division.

Nikita
Episode 2.04 is called Partners

There's a possibility for a recurring character in Sergei Semak who is an attractive, wealthy, powerful and athletic criminal.
He's happy to command a room at gunpoint and he is on the lookout for the people responsible for the death of a friend.

Nikita
Episode 2.05 is called 'Looking Glass.'

A possibly recurring role is that of Valeri Ovechkin who is charismatic and powerful General.
At one time a low-level bureaucrat, Valari has had plastic surgery to make herself look identical to the original General Overchkin and has a habit of putting people to death before they speak some secretive truth...
Also featuring is Cassander, who has a past with Michael which could stir up the water in unexpected ways!

Any Nikita scoop? What's in store for Michael and Nikita? — Sammy, via Twitter
ADAM: Look for a powerful lady from Michael's past to re-emerge: the sexy, smart first lady of Belarus, who, as luck (and the writers) would have it, first met Michael when Division was trying to overthrow her husband. Now fearing for her life, she'll cash in on their past spark and ask Michael to help her seek asylum.

Glenn in Playa del Rey, Calif.: I did not like all the talk about roadblocks for Michael and Nikita in last week's Spoiler Chat. Give me better news!
Sorry, but even Maggie Q is admitting there will be tough times ahead for Nikita and Michael (Shane West.) "It's going to be hard. They have no money!" she tells us. "They're like a new married couple, just starting out. Except they're trying to save the world, too." Think they'll survive to see their first anniversary?

Emily in Pa.: Scoop on Nikita!
The stars of Nikita want you to strap in, because the second season is going to be a wild ride. "Everything is different. It's the same good characters, but everything has changed. I think the fans will be real into it," Lyndsy Fonseca predicts to us. Shane West agrees with his costar, and even reveals how the first episode will be set up. "It's basically going over what happened in the last episode of season one, and seeing where these characters might actually be now," he says. "Obviously Michael and Nikita are on the run. Division is turned upside down. It's nuts right now! It's entertaining and all the actors are back, so that's exciting, too. Knowing how Craig writes, so much will happen in four or five episodes."

EPIC!

Nikita scoopage would be appreciated. I’m counting the days!! — Nevaeh
We’re going to meet a blast from Michael’s past in episode 5. We learn via flashback that she’s smart, sensitive, sexy, and…the first lady of a nation whose president Michael is tasked with canceling. I never said it was simple…

Question: Just wondering if you could throw in a Nikita spoiler at me. Would make me a very happy girl. —Katie
Ausiello: A major character will shoot another major character early in the season. Oh, and both of these characters share something in common: They have lady parts.

Any Nikita scoop please! The wait is too long! I feel like I’m getting more impatient as we get closer. — Kelly
Amen to that. Thankfully, it seems the wait will be worth it. I’m particularly excited about the sixth episode, in which Nikita finds herself face-to-face with the man she believes to be her father. But there’s more to that story… which, of course, I can’t tell you. I can say, however, that it’s an episode that teaches us quite a bit more about Nikita’s backstory.

DEVON SAWA RETURNS AS OWEN --- While investigating an old corrupt Division program, P9, that seems to have resurfaced, Nikita (Maggie Q) and Michael (Shane West) run into Owen (guest star Devon Sawa). He tells them he is searching for Dr. Joseph Mars (guest star John Ralston), who is not only the mastermind behind P9, but also invented the Regimen and could help Owen wean himself off the dangerous drug. Michael is hesitant to trust Owen again but Nikita decides the three should join forces. Percy (Xander Berkeley) demands to see Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca). Aaron Stanford and Melinda Clarke also star. Eagle Egillson directed the episode written by Kalinda Vazquez.
