This was a so-so ep. Not bad, but not that great either.

I called the wife as soon as they flashed her picture when were flipping thought the list of people with access to the security info, so I'm glad they didn't drag that out.


EDIT: I just watched the promo. It's funny how they highlighted the stupidest moment from the episode, with the prince deciding not to run and leave his love behind...only if he had left they would have just scrapped the mission and instead he almost got his girlfriend killed.

I liked the episode even though it was sort of a Die Hard rip-off, especially having a black cop communicate with Nikita on the inside. Nikita was awesome in this episode in the action sequences. Loved how she took out those 2 guys with the Samurai sword.

at Nikita having wine and giving Alex milk to drink.

I liked the ending with Michael looking at the security footage of Alex talking to Nikita. A little surprised to see how careless Alex was and now Michael will have an opportunity to possibly read her lips off the video.

You know I don't like the way the CW cuts the promos for this show. They seem to highlight the cheesiest and female friendly moments of the episode. As exemplified by the promo I originally posted.

I thought this was kind of a lackluster episode. The action was sub-par for this show (though Maggie with the samurai sword was a cool touch), and the guest stars were just bleh. I don't mind a story being derivative as long as it's executed well, but this just wasn't in a lot of ways. Nikita and the prince's little heart-to-heart talks while they were being pursued were cringeworthy.

Still enjoyable, though. Maggie and Lyndsy are always great. I love when they have to pretend to be bitches with each other to keep their cover. Alex drinking milk at the end was hilarious.

I also liked the ending, with Michael maybe on to Alex. Should be interesting.

(I hope they bring the Gogol storyline up again. That seems to have been dropped).

Milk should never be poured into a wine glass, it looks weird.

It was fancy Almond Milk, though.
