EPIC SCENE WAS EPIC, OMG
I am seriously not kidding, watching this show makes me admire Nikita more and more. She's hardcore, kickass and just an inspiration, I literally want to become her when I grow up. Just everything she does, her confidence, her strength, even her vulnerability while still remaining strong, she's a fantastic mentor and nurturing mother-figure who cares about others, she knows her shit and while she might not predict everything she can still outsmart others, esp those that underestimate her. She's just so amazing and in this episode we see her scheming and escaping Division yet again. Badass woman is badass.
Hell, all the women on this show are badass. Nikita, Amanda, Alex, even Jayden. Love. ♥
So um, other things happened in this episode obviously. Alex being recruited to go on a mission that would require her to kill someone so she could graduated to a higher level that makes her an agent, the flashbacks to her and Nikita scheming before she entered Division, ALEX AND NIKITA WORKING TOGETHER IN THE FIELD, NIKITA GETTING CAPTURED BY DIVISION WHILE ALEX BOMBS THE PLACE AS A DIVERSION TO HELP HER ESCAPE, THOM GETTING SHOT BY ALEX! D: D: D:
THIS IS WHY MY SHOW IS ALL EPICALLY AWESOME. SO FUCKING INTENSE AND I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT THE ENTIRE TIME.
MORE PEOPLE NEED TO BE WATCHING NIKITA, FOR REALS. I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY THIS EPISODE AND HONESTLY, Y'ALL. IF YOU LOVE KICKASS WOMEN YOU'LL ADORE THIS SHOW BECAUSE IT HAS TONS OF IT (as the gif in this post suggests, bamf comin' atcha!)
LOVE THIS SHOW SFM. ♥

But it really did further what Alex is doing in Division and her mission has been strengthened even more because of it. Her words to Percy at the end held a lot more meaning than what he's hearing, because we know her motivations for continuing on. I loved Alex's determination this episode, wanting to do things herself, and she did. Even without meaning to.
The "no risks, no rewards" line also comes back into play here. There are high risks and heavy losses, but that's the price they all pay. This show is absolutely brilliant and I want it to succeed.
OMG sorry for the long comment, I am just still so blown away by this episode. *___*

Date: 2010-12-10 05:20 pm (UTC)she's like the ultimate woman, you know. she's like a mother, a sister, a friend, a lover, a person who lives for herself because she knows what she's worth and she won't let anyone take that away from her, not anymore. and her vulnerability just makes it even more awesome, because without it, she'd just be a walking cliché, but instead, like you said, she's such an inspiration. ♥

We need more hardcore women on television, particularly taking the leading role. We need more Buffys and Nikitas and Xenas out there, come on!

Date: 2010-12-11 03:42 am (UTC)POOR THOM! D: It was necessary, but still sad. There was a connection between him and Alex, and Alex planned on telling him after they had saved everyone from Division's control. And even when Alex couldn't pull the trigger on the target, she unintentionally did on someone she genuinely liked. :( WAAAAAHHH.
WOMEN KICKING ASS AND TAKING NAMES, JUST AS I LOVE THEM. <3 <3 <3
