Nikita - Season 4 [CW - US] [** Spoilers **]

Richard Dower

The final season, and only six episodes
A mid-November burn-off schedule with a 2 hour finale....so five weeks of Nikkii and done!

And Judd Nelson just got a major story arc

Rumour also suggests that it'll be three two hour burnoffs...as in two episodes on a Friday over 3 weeks.

Mr E

Sounds good to me. There are a lot of cancelled shows where I'd have loved a final 6 episode season.

CastorTroy

Also with Nikita each season had so much happen that it seemed to compress 3 or 4 season arcs into 1 season. So basically this is the equivalent of a full season minus filler episodes like other shows would have

6 episodes is very short, 12 or 13 would be better for the final season

Richard Dower

Rose Collins to guest, and ep. 5 is called:

Agent Coulson

Looks like they will go out with style. Glad they and we get closer.

CastorTroy

One of the videos linked from that

Melinda looks and sounds so different. Shorter and friendlier.

Mr E

Back last night...

Agent Coulson

Good start to the last season. Hope it can keep it up now and go out with a bang.

Mr E

That was a great first episode.

I would have liked a little "Previously On..." segment at the start.
I know the pres shot herself, but I can't remember any of the details around it.

Absolutely brilliant season opener, it's bittersweet it's ending but I'm glad it's going out with a bang. Fingers crossed Percy makes an appearance!

Ye I was a bit hazy on what happened in the finale last year, was it not a double though? If I remember the president is still alive and being held captive.

Mr E

See? I completely forgot that.

tvnutz

Good episode again, will be interesting to see how they tie this up within 4 episodes! I assume saving the real President will be the key to clearing Nikita's name. Knowing this show though it won't be that simple.

I loved the camera assassination but was confused by the end...what was that about? Who was the NSA lad? How is Birkoff involved? Is he supposed to look like him or be a double or something? Didn't get what that was about.

Mr E

My guess is a relative maybe? Do we know who Birkoff's father is?

expectationlost

the plane, who do they think they are shield?

stop calling her Nikita Mears sound so unglamorous

berkoff was needled wasn't he

CastorTroy

Was the NSA guy Judd Nelson? Maybe Birchoff is a big Breakfast Club fan and didn't want to get him in trouble.

That's who I thought it looked like alright.

Agent Coulson

Another great epsoide they really are keeping the level up with only 2 more to go. I just hope they haven't left to much to fit into the last two..

Also a nice little nod to La Femme Nikita at the beginning as well.

I think there's still 3 left?

Not as good as the other episodes this season, but the quality has been so high it's hard to complain. Amanda really is one of the best tv villains I've ever seen.

You are right I thought they were going to go out with a double episode leaving only 2 weeks. But they are going out with 3 singles.

Mr E

Ah that was great! It actually played out like a season finale...... until the LAST 3 MINUTES!!

DUN DUNNNN DUNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

I dont under stand the end?....is michael a double?

Nikita: the only show where launching a missile at the building you're in is considered easy. Which oddly makes your father proud

Gonna miss this show. Felt like a finale and if I didn't know there were still 2 episodes left I would've believed it to be until that last few mins.

So will Sam betray Alex? The look on his face was that of someone who was proud to be trusted with such a responsibility.
Though at the same time when he was telling her he wasn't Owen reminded me of Chris the crafty cockney

No, Division think that it's all over and that they've won - Amanda is dead, and MDK is rubble. It'll be fun to see how the next part plays out.

Agent Coulson

I really enjoyed that and would have been happy with that ending. Then came "Amanda" as only see can

Melinda Clarke really is amazing in the role.

tvnutz

Poor Ryan Very good episode again, 2 hour finale is it? The final battle, should be good.

CastorTroy

And that's how you do a season finale setting up for an excellent next seas... oh wait.... Dagnamit!

Even when it's not a shortened season I've always said Nikita fits more into 6 episodes than most series fit in a season. Excellent setup for the finale with Nikita and Alex together again.

Only thing I was wondering was why didn't Ryan (:() shoot Amanda when she was down?

expectationlost

can it really be final battle?
