sff: Nikita 1x17-20

[lyssie]

I don't... I don't really have a lot to say. Mostly, I am so fucking disappointed in this show. They've always criminally underused Tiffany Hines as Jaden, but to bring her back and give her something to work with and then just kill her off?

That is so fucking fail. What was the point of that? They might as well have just used some faceless newbie no one knew, for all the good it does.

I am angry, too. It's the sort of bullshit BSG pulled. Need to kill someone? Can't kill a man, another woman has to go! Or Stargate: Atlantis.

Now I feel sort of meh about the rest of the season. I'll watch it, but I'm not really breathless with anticipation.

Also, I fucking hate Nikita/Michael. It is so by the numbers and uninteresting, I have a hard time not fast-forwarding through their scenes. Especially when Michael is all emomanpain. (I'm actually fucking enraged that we have to suffer standard bad movie love affairs while they kill off a woman--yeah, I don't like Alex's dude all that much, either. I'm sort of sad he wasn't working with Jaden to find her out)

I KNOW!!! I haven't watched the latest episode yet but now, I'm not sure I want to.

Jaden was SUCH an awesome character (ya know, those few times they actually gave her something to do) and they just kill her off?! WHY?! There was SO much potential there!

UGH! Why not kill off Alex's irritating boyfriend or that annoying computer guy? OH, that's right: they're men.

YES. It's just such waste. There is so much they could have done with her, and they just didn't. It makes me so fucking frustrated I'm saying fuck all the time.

I sort of want to see how the season plays out, but I sort of have the suspicion I'll be writing some sort of AU scenario fic.

I'll probably cave and watch the last few episodes but I've definitely lost a bit of the investment I recently devloped in this show. And I'll absolutely read that AU if/when you write it :)
