USA Network Synopsis
Michael and Nikita have been traveling from place to place, keeping one
step ahead of Section One's attempts to find them. When George is eliminated
from the picture after leaking intel to Red Cell in order to discredit
Section One, the newly-empowered Operations and Madeline finally track
down Michael and Nikita and bring them back to Section. Just as Michael
and Nikita are about to be cancelled, all of Section's systems suddenly
stop. Mr. Jones, the mysterious head of Center, is on his way to Section
One in order to conduct an evaluation, and has put Section in stasis.
When Jones arrives, he reveals that Nikita has been secretly working
for Center for the last three years. Nikita assists Jones with his evaluation,
and things change radically. Operations is forced to remain at Section
One for the next seven years. Madeline takes her own life rather than be
cancelled. Walter is transferred to the Farm, where he will train new
operatives. And Michael is sent on an abeyance mission so he can end
his life like a soldier. But to Michael's surprise, his life is spared
at the last minute by Nikita -- who then offers Michael his freedom.
Sadly, she cannot leave with him. To make him go, Nikita must say words
that she may not truly believe, but at least one of them will finally
be free...
My Synopsis
"AHHHHHHH!" This was extremely frustrating. (Make sure you read the
other intel; it is fantastic.) By the way, the USA synopsis
pretty much gives you the whole plot, so there won't be any surprises here.
All right, first of all, I completely DO NOT believe Nikita could EVER fool EVERY SINGLE
PERSON in Section for THREE YEARS. NO. Would NEVER happen. Someone would
have figured it out. Impossible. Secondly, Mick would NEVER be able to
pull off being Mr. Jones. And that came out of nowhere! I mean, you should
at least be able to guess! Geez! Okay, moving on... I think Madeline
would have killed herself in this situation, if the alternative was death,
but she must have known; otherwise, she wouldn't have rigged her bun with
cyanide. The goodbye kiss between Operations and his beloved Madeline
was incredibly sad; I cried (big surprise). The whole tear-of-blood
was neat but also really cheesy. Walter should kick Nikita in the head!
SMACK! I totally don't buy that Ops is too ruthless to lead Oversight.
George was completely ruthless, so what kind of crack is Nikita smoking?
And they should have left this as the series finale; as much as I liked
AGWWT, this would have been a better ending. Michael and Nikita still didn't
end up together, Ops and Maddy still didn't end up together. Everybody
LOST! Ack! And we only would have had to see Quinn one or two times instead
of ten. :) There were a hundred different ways they could have ended the
series, but they chose the stupid ending. *shakes head*
Other Intel
*It was Gene and Alberta's idea to have the final goodbye kiss between Operations
and Madeline. The entire scene didn't exist in the original script. All I can say is
THANK YOU for knowing your characters!!!
