Nice follow to the movie & other series. It's no CHUCK, but I definitely like it.

Thoughts?

I haven't seen it yet and actually forgot it was on so I haven't put it in the download queue yet but I will do if you say it's really good.
If I wait for it to appear over here we'll have all been wiped out in the 2012 end of the world disaster and it won't matter.

I saw both movie versions (although I didn't think much to the US version) but I never saw the TV series except for a few bits here and there.
Does the new series literally follow on or does it start from the beginning with an 'origin' story?

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

I haven't watched it yet, but from what I've read it follows Nikita as she attempts to take down Division, but there is another character that will give us an introduction to the organization at the same time.

Yep, essentially a "reboot" taking the same premise, but not literally following any prior versions.

It was quite well done. Sort of like "24". Lots of action and the story moved right along.

The pilot was directed & produced by Danny Cannon (Judge Dredd). I knew he was actually talented!

ETA: Next weeks ep looks as good!

You know the adage, if you can't say anything good then don't say anything at all?

Let me see...production values are better than the USA series...and...

MELINDA CLARKE!!!!!

That's about it as far as I'm concerned.

Not so good IYO?
I totally disliked Peta in the roll, Annie was superb IMO, and Maggie is somewhere in between.
I'm more than willing to give it a chance.

Whattya think?

Wait a couple of weeks when it's up against new shows on the other networks. I'll be watching Fringe at that time myself.

My main complaint against the show is that it is so much like other shows we've already seen, and not just the other incarnations of Nikita either. Too gorram predictable to interest me.

Point taken.

Never seen it. Should I?
The reason I like Nikita is that it's frilly stuff, fun, but nothing that I'd severely miss should it be canceled. I'm TV gun-shy after FF & Dark Angel (AND Battlestar Galactica (old), and UFO, AND every other gorram promising TV series!!!!).
If I *love* the show- if I can't live without it, it gets axed.
I'm fine with just lightweight fun stuff on TV now.
I never got into Lost for that reason, silly me, it went the distance, and the final ep was doofy. Another way to waste time, I guess.
It gets axed, or it gets silly & stupid.
Except for CHUCK, I have no serious investment in TV.

I'd recommend Fringe. One thing you might not like about it is that while it does have a serialized story-line it has many episodes that are pretty much stand-alones that do not address the over all arc. But when it does center around the continuing arc it is damn good.

And John Noble as Walter Bishop is outstanding.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised.
Way better than the Bridget Fonda version (never saw the Peta Wilson series)!

The Peta one was WAAY better than that Fonda mess, but this new one is better still IMO. I actually count the days until the next ep, and that hasn't happened to me in a while. Not since the first season of Dark Angel, anyway.

She looks like she would have a promising political career.

(I do like Maggie Q, especially when she's beating up Bruce Willis)

Loved this week's episode! Especially when Maggie Q was speaking rapid-fire French! (Like Gomez Addams, that drives me wild!)

This is a great time for fans of Spycraft: We've got Burn Notice, Covert Affairs, and now Nikita!
