Nikita season finale
I trying to stop flailing. It's hard.
My predictions for deaths going into the finale were Percy or Birkhoff, and Roan. And then I put Birkhoff slightly ahead of Percy thanks to the kiss goodbye last ep. I'm OK with only being half right.
This show, you guys. This show.
First, Amanda lives to be the HBIC next season that we all know she can be and I am SO FUCKING EXCITED ABOUT THIS
Birkhoff lives and still gets to be awesome. I'm meh on him and Sonya for the most part, mostly because it's been so under developed, but I thought the kiss was cute enough. Next season, though, Sonya needs to be fleshed out. A lot (I did like her turn around). This finale justifies Ryan's promotion to regular, but I still can't help but hope she gets a cast up grade as well. Probably too late to expect a pre season regular status, but I really hope she's a frequent recurer next season, and then maybe she can be upgraded in season like Dillon Casey was.
Speaking of which. OH MY OTP HOW ARE YOU SO FABULOUS. Seriously, Sean's Casual Danger dialogue was priceless. "So, you want to go out" *faints* I just...they make me so flaily with their adorableness and their badassness. I can't even with these two.
Nikita helping run Division next season. Goddamn, talk about game changers. I know some genre savvy people saw it coming (including me) and are probably going to bitch about it being to predictable and cliche (not me), but I really think it fits. And I don't think the average, not internet obsessed viewer would have seen that coming.
Also: "I don't know what a home is". In the pilot, Amanda tells Alex home is where you stop running. In the last episode Nikita yells that she's not running from Division anymore. And boom. Writing like that is why I fucking love this show beyond words.
ETA: Seriously, Percy's face when he realizes Nikita is going to let him fall.
Xander, you will be missed. Kudos, good sir, for being such a brilliant manipulative bastard.
