Nikita -- Season Premiere -- "Wanted" -- 11/22/13



Synopsis:

NIKITA - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET)

"Wanted" (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

THE FINAL FIGHT BEGINS - Nikita (Maggie Q) is still on the run after she was framed for the assassination of the President of the United States. Dale, a reporter (guest star Todd Grinnell) from the news channel ENN, starts questioning what really happened that night. Nikita sees this as an opportunity to clear her name so she re-enters the country to talk to Dale but walks right into a trap set by Amanda (Melinda Clarke). The team is alerted and Michael (Shane West) sets out to find Nikita before Amanda does. While Birkoff (Aaron Stanford) and Ryan (Noah Bean) help Michael from their new mobile office, a high-tech aircraft, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) stakes out a human-trafficking ring and learns The Shop is involved. Things go south and Alex is surprised when Owen/Sam (Devon Sawa) shows up at the scene. Eagle Egilsson directed the episode written by Kristen Reidel (#401).


6 episode final season


This actually premieres tomorrow night. But I thought I would post it early for those unaware of it's status.

Don't forget, this premieres tonight.

Here's an episode preview with the showrunner Craig Silverstein. He's moving on to a new show on AMC when this is done.

It's too bad this got buried on Friday nights. Reportedly the money the CW and WB got from Netflix is what saved the show and got it 1 last short season.

With this only being six episodes, I hope WB finishes the series and releases this on DVD.

Everyone show that gets canceled or on the fence of that really needs to so this. Get tired of so many series that get canceled on cliffhangers which is why I hate them and believe each season should be a complete story.

I hope this ends correctly because they knew of the limited run going in.

Awesome 1st episode. Did not expect that at all that the FBI agent was also working for Amanda. The bomb that killed the reporter was pretty crazy.

The shootout at the port was pretty cool. Alex was pretty badass there taking out all those goons.

You know what, come to think of it, this show is really heading towards it's endgame now. I think 6 episodes is enough time to finish it.

Nikita's last name is Mears? I think this is the 1st time we've heard it on the show.

That kind of threw me as well, since it was repeated so often during the show. I wasn't sure if that was a well-known fact that I had just forgotten or perhaps something that might have been there but was now being emphasized.

Some of those FBI photos of her look nothing like her. I guess it is her mugshot from when she was arrested as a teen but it sure doesn't look like her now. Looks more like Alex then Nikita. I was just pissed it was only an hour ep. I wanted more!

Great start to the season. This had everything I love about the show: action, plot twists and snark between Birkhoff and Nikita. Looks like these will be fast paced episodes.

Not sure about the superdrug plotline, but I'm just gonna roll with it.
