Thanks! And I'll do Nikita for the meme :)


the character i least understand: Probably Sam, I never really felt like I got to know him as well as we did Owen

interactions i enjoyed the most: Nikita/Alex, Nikita/Owen, Nikita/Amanda

the character who scares me the most: Roan could be pretty chilling.

the character who is mostly like me: Possibly Sonya?

hottest looks character: Nikita, Alex, Owen

one thing i dislike about my fave character: Nikita could be a bit frustrating at times with her tendency to push her loved ones away and go it alone, although I always understand where it was coming from of course

one thing i like about my hated character: Jaden did have her moments when she was working with Alex on a mission

a quote or scene that haunts me: Nikita breaking the handcuffs and escaping division, Alex's killing in "Alexandra", and Percy's death are the immediate ones that I thought of

a death that left me indifferent: Sean. I could just never care that much about his character

a character i wish died but didn’t: Hmm I can't think of any, Nikita was always very brave about killing off characters that weren't working out, or knowing when to write out a character like Percy at the right time

my ship that never sailed: Nikita/Owen was always a ship that I thought had a lot of sparks, athough I shipped Mikita too of course. Nikita/Owen probably wouldn't have worked in canon as a romance, but I still enjoyed their friendship and was sad at how little they had to do with one another after he reverted to Sam :(

Ugh, I hated the Owen=Sam twist. I loved Owen and his friendship with Nikita and all their history. Everything about him/them that was so fascinating got erased when he became Sam. Maybe I could've accepted it if they show had more time to develop it but as it stood, I just really, really hated that storyline.

I loathed Roan and Percy but they were excellent villains and I was very pleased that the writers knew not to keep them around indefinitely.

(I don't remember if you watch Killjoys but the actor who played Roan plays a Percy-like character on that show and it is delicious. I hate his character so much!)

My guess is that originally they were expecting to have more time to tell Sam's storyline, Gossip Girl got 13 episodes for their last season the year before, so I think that everyone was surprised that Nikita got just six episodes which you could barely call a season at all. They mostly did a good job with it of course, but Sam/Alex definitely felt really rushed to me, you needed more than a mini-series to wrap up what they were trying to do there with Sam's character. It was a real shame that the show never got the time to deal with Nikita's past with Owen, and to bond a bit more with Sam
