There was plenty of room for her to move up in the DPD; she didn't need to be moved into a new division (what division is it even?) under a new boss that more of a maverick and doesn't play by the rules.

    Well Arthur reassigned Auggie...it made sense, as for Annie, someone higher up pulled her from the DPD, not Arthur. Her new section seems kinda obvious, they deal in turning assets and black ops.

    wanna tell us something;):p

    it happened cause as richard said someone higher up the chain saw or heard about annie and feels like she has much more to add to the CIA, so shes taken her under her wing, makes sense to me anyway,

    Poor Annie! :( - she was devastated and heartbroken when Auggie told her about Parker :(

    Be still my shipper heart!....she loves him and wants to be with him, very good scene with Arthur and Jai's dad in prison. Arthur hired a team to watch Jai :confused: - are they hinting he might have been involved?

    So...when did you cop who was the hacker girl?....i copped it when Annie and Auggie were standing and talking outside her apartment...before she turned up ;)

    Solid second ep. - next week looks intense.

    3/5

    If Jai is dead, why is Sendhil still in the intro?
    Let's see if he is still there next week.

    I thought it was a bit suss that someone followed Jai out when Annie went back for the umbrella.

    Really enjoyed the opener though.... Is it wrong of me to automatically assume that Sarah Clarke is bad after her stint in 24? :)

    He was removed from the credits this week, he's 100% dead!

    Solid episode this week. Enjoyed it a lot. Annie and Auggie have good chemistry.

    Anyone notice the title sequence upgrade? They've gone from cell-shading in season 1 to computer models this season.

    Bit of a meh episode this week, Devin Kelley is pretty woeful as an actress, and it featured the nicest Somali pirates i've ever seen on tv!....besides that i didn't buy the locale to be anywhere in Africa, lol....could have been some rundown ghetto in LA :-)

    Most interesting part was the ongoing battle between Joan and Lena....did Lena get Joan's previous husband killed in Nairobi?

    That powerplay between those two women is pretty darn interesting to watch, wouldn't surprise me if Lena and Arthur hooked up back in the day also. So.....is Annie's sister gone for good?....lets hope so!

    was hoping annie would hang around DPD for a while to see augies box with the constellation on it, parker was a total b1tch running out on a blind man like that,

    2 week break, balls:(, cant beleieve its only 4 episodes in, feels like a whole season of storyline has been used already,

    Best episode of season 3 thus far, i know i'm supposed to hate Simon....but the guy has good chemistry with Annie + she likes him alot more then working an asset.

    Auggie.... :( , Gotta give props to Chris Gorham for his scene with Parker during the breakup, very good acting.....but, bottle over the head? :eek:
    I know he was drunk and upset and yer man was a douche, but cracking him over the skull with a bottle was EXTREME! :eek:

    Will Arthur save him from the klink?....does the CIA have that much pull with the cops? :confused:

    So Annie is back working for Joan....lol, that arc didn't last long. Solid stuff....good character development for Annie + Augie, strong season thus far :)


    And....c*ck blocking.... :eek:

    Another solid offering this week :)....location shooting, Oded Fehr and Daniella Alonso make for a perfect combo! ;)

    I liked that the scientist guy copped it was his spy GF pretty sharpish...Auggie in therapy....hmmm, is this just a way for Auggie to have a new love interest?
    I like her alot more then i did Parker....so the band is back together @ the DPD.

    Arthur got a job offer, will his ex and Joan have friction?....good ep. but not too much to report this week :)

    With the latest ep. = the show jumped the shark :mad:
    WTF was that plotline with Simon + Annie....he's kills his handler to protect Annie because he loves her. But neither one said a WORD to each other after the deed! :confused:

    Annie saw him kill yer man + he culd be seen looking at Annie, so they both know each other is a spy.....and that's it! :confused::rolleyes:
    Very poor writing, Simon is a seasoned FSB spy, love or not they should have said and acknowledged each other as spies at the airport.

    I mean, no matter if he loves her, self protection will, should and would kick in at some point!

    I never really thought of it that way. Very strange scene indeed. Decent enough episode otherwise though. It will be interesting to see where it goes from here.

    More interested in the Jay storyline now, to be honest.

    I really didn't like that episode either. Mainly because it could have been so much better with less stupid writing.

    Also I'm starting to think Arthur and Joan may leave to China after all and whatshername will be taking over the DPD?

    I think Arthur will be found out as being somehow behind Jai's death, and will leave the show (dead or alive). Joan will move up to Arthur's job, and Lena will move to the DPD.

    He might have decided that a flipped CIA agent is worth more to him than Carlos.

    edit: but in general I agree, that episode seemed poorly written.

    Wow! Looks like Sarah Clarke was a pain in the butt for Kiefer and now she's one for Annie. I didn't hate the previous episode as much as most people here seem to have however I found the last piece slightly confusing.

    I immediately thought 'double agent' but is it staged? They want to bring him in, maybe it's a way of doing that. Annie should be dead too with the bullet wounds she received.

    Having said that, given that Lena checked Simon for a pulse would make it look like she's a double agent.

    I expect that Sarah Clarke will be seconded to Nikita now, so that she can take her husband Xander Berkeley's place.

    Wow.

    For the 2nd episode in a row. Loved the ending. :)

    Curious about the blackbird/mirror scene (which was very well done). Is there more to Annie's past that we don't know about?

    i think that was annie thinking of who she is or was gonna be when she was gonna run off with simon, you had her and danielle with the polygraph again with annie questioning who she is,

    i don't think lena is this blackbird person, i think annie thinks shes blackbird, either that or as you said is their more to her past, or did i miss something earlier in the season about blackbird, i know jai was investigating a mole but he didn't mention anything about blackbird to annie at the diner, did he??

    another good episode, but i had a big issue with how lena just put the blame on annie and arthur and the rest of the CIA bought it, lena shot both of them with the same gun, and then put it in simons hand, so if annie hit simon through the heart how the hell did he get the gun off her, never mind shot her, ill get over it, but someone on the show dropped the ball on that,
