-The entire Alex/Nathan interaction throughout the series gets a "V" (vomit-inducing) rating from me. And now it adds injury to insult. They didn't really bother to develop Jayden's character beyond some basics (and they should have), and now they just wasted her. The scene where Nathan shoots Jayden had me palming my face hard and the little "umm whatcha say" tune playing in my head, so stupid it was.
-The episodic characters. No, I don't care about you, get out. The writers don't even bother creating any real drama... like in the original series, where there were at least several instances of the mark's close ones getting in the way, getting shot and then Nikita being remorseful.
-Another overall series problem: I don't really care about Alex. Yeah, she kinda is like, ehm... Nikita from the original series, but with a twist... whatever. Some caring was gained on her big reveal episode, but not much.
-Which leads to the ending scene, which I enjoyed!... for completely wrong reasons. You see, Amanda is actually captured correctly from the original series (Madeline), even though she's terribly, horribly under-used here. So, when she confronted Alex, I got very excited. When she knocked Alex down with one punch, I said in my Shao Kahn voice: "EXCELLENT!". And when she put her heel on Alex's throat, I said: "FINISH HER!".
And a part of me wished that she will do just that. That would make really good drama, you know. Of course, all the other part of me know that we can't have thaaaaat.
