This appeared in the March 18 issue of Entertainment Weekly. I know you all will appreciate the commentary.

(I don't know if anyone posted it previously. If they did, I apologize for being redundant.)

Quote:

La Femme Nikita - The Complete Second Season

Alberta Watson hones her ice-queen act as Überspy boss Madeline, Nikita negotiates a sexy star-crossed romance with co-worker Michael, and suddenly it's startlingly clear how much Jack Bauer and Sydney Bristow owe USA's cult fave about a woman who was recruited from jail (after being wrongly accused of stabbing a cop) for secret government group Section One.

In Nikita, you never know who's bad or who's good, and in the deliciously twisty season 2, that goes for the heroine herself: She starts off pretending to be a kidnapping victim and ends the season in cahoots with an ex-agent out to destroy the agency.

EXTRAS: Nikita's masterminds (executive consultant Joel Surnow, director Jon Cassar, and story editor Michael Loceff) offer cool, candid commentary, waxing rhapsodic about the love story one moment and mocking their own credibility-stretching plot liberties the next. And the deleted scenes are actually worth it, thanks to Cassar's explanatory intros - especially the episode 1 action sequence that was axed when everyone realized that the bad guys' silvery suits looked silly.

Hope this has been of interest to you all. KT ^!^
