Looks like that ferret on Michael's head has moved on.
*shallow mode on* Peta looks too butch with the hair slicked back - she
needs the bangs. *shallow mode off*
Cool! Rene directed - this is usually a good thing.
I WANT that coat Nikita's wearing. Well it would be too tight...but not by
much.
I could just hear the Royettes squealing when Mikey said "I do". That whole
wedding scenario was cheeky at best. The wags in IRC started singing Billy
Idol's "White Wedding". Those guys! LOL
*sigh* Gene! Now THAT'S who makes ME squeal...
WHOA Cheap shot, Operations "getting into bed with the boss' daughter." I
love it when he's nasty. I've always loved those nose to nose things with
Ops and Mikey.
Nikita doing the briefing. This is not a good sign.
There he goes... Mission Mikey, the Teflon Target. Seems like old times.
Could this 'Collective' be any thicker? DUH, of course it's Michael. Not
the sharpest tools in the shed, are they?
Awww, they killed Elena. Michael nearly cracked a ...less blank stare.
Huh, Mikey? Jones couldn't live with losing Nikita? Hell, she's been near
death so many times it ain't funny, and he's just stood by... why should he
give a rat's ass now?
"I lied" Why, I'm shocked; SHOCKED I tell you. *yawn* They boink...they
seemed barely awake. Wait. That was sex? Looked like Nikita was
comforting Mikey after his dog died or something. What was up with that
nekked hugging without hip motion? At first I thought Mikey was going
south, but instead, he appeared to have fallen asleep in Nikita's bosom.
*kiss, kiss, snuggle, ZZZZzzzzzzzzz*
Did it strike anyone else as strange that Mikey would jump right back to
Nikita after she told him she didn't love him? I know, she said 'I lied',
but still...
Lots of horking during the Quinn/Ops scene. Mine included.
OK, it's official. They've made Quinn into a skanky bitch. Too bad. The
character was so appealing.
*shudder* I just HATE it when children are used as a thrill tactic in films
and television. Not necessary, IMNSHO. Enough exploitation of children in
the REAL world, for crying out loud! Cheap plot device.
Only one phrase for the next scene...
FUCKING A!
No more Ops! *whimper* OK, maybe Hertzog was ordered to put that in, so to
whomever: *holding up my hand, palm facing me* Guess which finger has your
name on it?
To quote Gabie: "Sex was bad, Ops is dead ... wtf am I still watching this
show?"
Answer: Because we're pathetic.
LOL Walter, please pass me that bottle!
That is one butt-ugly coat Mikey's wearing.
"We'll die together" How sweet. So sweet I need insulin.
OK, I know Mikey is the Man Of Steel, but I still don't believe he could be
so blasé about Adam being taken. This is the man who cried his eyes out,
simply because he knew he could no longer live his life with the child. Now
that the kid is in clear danger, he just mopes around in typical Mikey mode?
Not bloody likely. Before you Royettes jump down my throat, I'm not
blaming Roy, just the script.
The death of Ops took all the wind out of my sails, but of course, without
Maddy, his character was left with little to work with. I'll miss most of
the characters/actors on the show, but I rather hoped we'd see some TV
movies or something with them in the future. Scratch that.
While the scenes of Adam's abduction and Ops' death were certainly gripping,
I disliked those parts for the reasons I've stated. There are better ways
to keep the audience interested.
Natalie, shit-canning another ep.

I thought it was weird, personally. Too obviously chosen for the one "walking

Ahh.. the good old days... Ops is so good when he's so bad! That's what I liked

Yeah, that was so bad... Disenfranchised Ops in the perch, Nikita briefing the

I've always maintained that Mikey is the more in love of the two, and more
fettered by their relationship and Nikita is often manly in their pairing, like
when SHE cuddled HIM... you know what I mean???
> Did it strike anyone else as strange that Mikey would jump right back to

Dude. Mikey is a guy. Lie, schmie, if you were a guy and got a chance to do it
with Nikita you probably would, whether you believe her or not.. But that's
another topic altogether...
Anyway, they have to be fast, they have two shows left. How much development do
you really expect??

Quinn Quinn Quinn, how much you've outstayed your welcome. I still belligerently
want her away from Birkoff's department, but ... *sigh*.. what's done is done.
She was looking to be pretty cool, but they totally warped her.

Cheap, maybe. Effective, probably. But hey, they literally probably pay the kid
less than they paid Elena anyhow.

He's not blasé, he just holds things inside. Showing your "enemy" your emotions
is admitting more weakness and giving up important control.

He sobbed in the privacy of his own apartment, not in the freaking middle of
Section in front of his superiors.

He was rather pathetic and defeated there at the end few shows, eh?.... Ousted

Okay. We came in after the sex, when it was all cuddling and

Time has passed. He's gotten use to being without Adam, and I daresay
he's had bigger concerns since then. Like staying alive. What would
good would a mauldlin display of emotion do Adam now? No, I prefer
Michael seemingly cold and unemotional, because we know his brain is
engaged and he's a lot scarier.

In every scene where they've done the "maybe we'll be a couple" thing, whether
in Section or in the Tower, he has treated her like something to be wiped off
the bottom of a cheap pair of shoes. He's been cold, rude, insulting, snide,
and cruel. He's shown her less consideration than he would show a backstreet
prostitute.
WHAT did Quinn enjoy about their time together, for chrissake? Being treated
like dirt? Being sneered at and demeaned? Grovelling repeatedly at his
pointy-booted feet?
This writing goes along with Maddie being a frigid bitch who kills herself the
first time she's thwarted, and Nikita being a lying manipulative bitch who
screws over everyone, including Michael and Walter in FLYF.
Yeeesh. <shudder> Jeez.

Not a bad observation. Michael definitely loves with every part of
his being and it makes sense that he would try to keep distance
between himself and Nikita during the earlier seasons knowing that
about himself. I don't know when Nikita got so jaded. It appears
that she is more of a control freak than Michael ever thought about
being when it comes to matters of the heart. Still, I liked the way
she cuddled him because God knows he needed some serious cuddling (and
nobody called me for the job), and when was the last time Nikita
appeared nurturing to anyone??????????
>Anyway, they have to be fast, they have two shows left. How much development do
>you really expect??
LOL Besides, we already know their history. I don't need a rehash of
what's gone on before.
>Looks like that ferret on Michael's head has moved on.
>*shallow mode on* Peta looks too butch with the hair slicked back - she
>needs the bangs. *shallow mode off*
So the shallow mode only applies to comments about Nik's hair, but not
Michaels? With a show as stylish as this one, commenting on haircuts is fair
game. *shallow mode always on*
>*sigh* Gene! Now THAT'S who makes ME squeal...
>Awww, they killed Elena. Michael nearly cracked a ...less blank stare.
LOL. He seemed more suprised about the truth about Mick......

>give a rat's ass now?
Excellent point. I suppose in purely practical terms, Section is so short
handed, he needs her to help run things.
>That was sex? Looked like Nikita was

Hey, that's exactly what I said in my post....oh wait, you meant that
literally....

This is Michael. Nobody appreciates an economy of words like he does.

I agree, but when he lost Adam before, he was genuinely helpless, whereas here
he can actually do something to help if he can hold it together.
But again, I still agree.

What do you expect when their second in command's wisest thought is the

Well we've got alot of good sayings in the good ole US of A. In my

Didn't expect much here. BUT

between the 2 of them. Only been what........

"Can't we enjoy power, with pleasure?" The look on Ops face was akin to
" Sure. Just I enjoy being disemboweled".
She's such a real study of character.
Great scene with Walter and Quinn though. Gotta love Walter, honesty
and anger tempered with compassion.
Mikey should have no trouble giving them Mr. Jones since there have been
several of them.
Good nite all!
Muffy

it was sweet...HOWEVER, after all this time, apparently I was not the only

<<I just HATE it when children are used as a thrill tactic in films

Me too....I thought that locking him in that room and him just sitting there
was not very realistic. He should have been terrified and but then again, I

Actually wick, blame Roy for that one. The script had Michael yelling "No" at
the top of his lungs. Personnally I hated this part of the script since IMHO
Michael would try to solve the situation before panicking. So, I'm glad he's in
mission mode rather than crying.
From the transcript I read I might like that ep. The absence of WMS sucks but
at least I'm spoiled and prepared for it. Love Gabie's reaction though LOL

Okay, I admit to being a tad drab when I peel potatoes, but I definitely show
more passion than this love scene when I'm slicing mushrooms.
I'm not complaining because we didn't see (as someone put it so well) headboard
banging. I'm complaining because the two reunited lovers didn't even look like
they enjoyed each other's company much.
Laura
No, no, I'm far too timid and insecure.

I didn't miss the point. I don't think it was intended to be a hot love
scene. But if it was, I'll agree with you, that it was a lame scene.
The before part is the one that bothers me, as far as being lame. But
the lack of emotion from the characters in this season's episodes have
been noticeable.

Hmmm, that's not what I saw. I saw a man who has had years of
practice at not showing his feelings, take a hit that must have just
about killed him. And at a time when he was most vulnerable. The
prize was in sight, he had Nikita back and was going to have his son
as well. I thought Roy's portrayal of Michael was perfect--no outward
reaction but a look in his eyes that spoke volumes. He knew that he
had inadvertently handed them his son and that in all likelihood there
was going to be no way out of this one. But, being our Mikey, you
know that the wheels are already turning in that brain, sorting
through all possible options.
I thought the reunion love scene was flat as old Coke. They really
should have let a romance writer handle this one. I thought the "I
lied"- "I know" was perfect, the slow walk across, the hand dance was
good but then YAWN. And, no, I do *not* have to see *the act* but I
do need to see some hunger, some tension, some passion. I saw nothing
of the old sizzling chemistry that has always been a hallmark of the
Michael/Nikita scenes of the past.
I hate the way they ended Op's life. What an ignoble end for a
wonderful character. And the person here who should have been shot
was the foster mother who was supposed to be watching Adam. Sure,
just let the kid run off down a dark alley chasing his car.
And you know that Section is well and truly gone to hell in a
handbasket when you see Walter sitting on the floor in the Perch
getting drunk.
When I saw Quinn heading toward him I had two thoughts:
1) Quinn must have a thing for older men, and
2) She isn't wasting any time.
I think I am getting pretty cynical about Quinn. <sigh>
Colin
Betcha next week Quinn makes her play for Mr. Jones.
Laura
Seems as though many think of her as being a trollop, including me.
I think she'll stay in Section....maybe as Walter's right hand trollop.
They'll both get drunk and then, the enemies will completely destroy
them. :-)

I've always been cynical about her. Didn't like the character from
day one. No real reason, just something about her rubbed me the wrong
way.
Not me. His eyes showed absolutely nothing to me, despite having been so
expressive in the past. Old timers like you should remember that I've often
said how marvelously expressive Dupuis can be with his eyes, but he let me
down that time.

Maybe he was in shock. Or, maybe he was remembering when, a few hours
earlier, Nikita's beeper went off, and they both decided to ignore it
because it couldn't possibly be more important than their private time
together.
It pains me to agree with Quinn, but she was right when she said that
Nikita should always be on-call in case of emergencies like this.

I wondered about that too? I'm sure that thread is totally left
unexplored/unexplained by the writers..
Child runs off, Shots fired in a parking garage a few steps away, van screeches
away, foster son gone.. nothing.
I'm pretty sure we'll hear nothing on that front from the writers. No police
complaints, nothing. *shrug* It'll just be left for us LFN geeks to wonder if that
lady is crying and wondering, haunted every night about the kid she lost...

Faria, I didn't say I didn't like it. I was just saying if you hadn't
gotten the message before that Section was down the toilet, that scene
left no doubt.
Exactly. What did you want him to do, scream, "Oh no!" and rend his
clothing. He did exactly what I would expect him to do. He took the
blow, forced it down into the dark recesses until he could deal with
it. It's exactly the way I react in emergency situations. When I
worked in the ER, we would see things that would make you want to puke
or scream, but you didn't. You showed no emotion and you dealt with
the problem. When it was all over, and you were no longer needed,
then you could come apart, but not while there is work to be done and
not where people who need your strength can see.
Who's left to do it, a drunk Walter? Now, that could make for some
fun.
I might be wrong, here........but.......
The first time I saw the episode and Adam ran off, for a moment he stops and
looks around the park. It's suddenly deserted and he realizes it. I remember
thinking, he's got a bit of his father in him! ;) Memories of FLYF. Then,
because he is a small child, he doesn't register the danger and chases after
the errant car anyway.
On second view, I wonder if they weren't showing us his Michael heritage but
also that the foster mother is mysteriously missing with everyone else.
Perhaps she *couldn't* go after him.
Anne
Oh, damn, does this mean I'll have to watch it AGAIN? ;)
Good thought, Anne.
My mother's instinct reacted the moment he started after the car.
When she said, "Adam," when he first started after it, would have had
me saying, "Adam, come here right now." Of course, I would be dead
because then I would have gone after the car with him. :)
Serious overdramatization? <g>

It would have been really funny if Operations had turned out to be the real
Mr. Jones, with some convoluted reason for the pretense.
Colin
She forgets that Michael is Operative extraordinaire. Who would dare
question his ability or fitness?

Anne, this is what I thought, too. It was vague and I wasn't sure that was
really the purpose of the pan shot, but it seemed to me like the Collective
might have removed the stepmother from play.
Laura
Actually, my impression was that the lady was *taken out* by the
collective - one moment she was looking after Adam and calling for him and
then the next shot appeared to be back towards that same location and no
one, and I mean no one, was anywhere in the picture.
Steve
You call that bitter? I call it speaking up about things that bother you,
which is what we tend to do here. Now, if you had gotten personal.....

I agree with Steve. I wrote this somewhere else (might've been here, even) so
forgive me if I repeat myself.
Adam runs after the truck and then stops at the entrance to the garage. He
looks back around him and *clearly* notices that the entire park is suddenly
empty. I remember thinking, "Oh, cool. He's got his father in him. He
notices things like that instintively." But, since he's an innocent child he
has no reason to understand the danger it means. So, he continues on after the
errant toy.
Even though it's a sad one, I love that scene.
Anne
Instinctively, even.
> I don't buy it, but then what's the difference now?
Well as I said, even though it may be wholly implausible that someone
would behave that way, it's at least consistent with the _character_ as
written. That is, this wasn't a violation of the story's internal logic.
But, of course, while internal consistency may be necessary, it's not
sufficient to make for a good story. FWIW, I don't buy the callousness
of the character either, at least not the way EW plays him.
