Just finished watching "Nikita", and ...

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! 

Way to season premiere #like a boss!

Seriously, if Nikita and Season Premiering were in prison, Season Premiering would be it’s bitch!

So much to love about this episode …

Nikita Mama Bearing, and worrying about Alex so much throughout the episode.  When Nikita got that “tearful” phone call from Alex, the concern and love and fierce protectressness that Maggie managed to convey was amazing to watch! 

That last confrontation between Nikita and Alex!  “I’m doing this because I care.”  I cannot even! 

Alex’s screams of pain like tore into my goddamn heart!  Lyndsy Fonseca, how are you so good?  And Maggie Q making my heart ache for Nikita as she breaks the girl she helped put back together … my heart, how are you so good Maggie Q?

I loathe that new guy Sean already!  Please do not hook Alex up with this douche!  Please!  She’s been through enough!

I love everything Amanda and Alex as well.  They dynamic between these two is so fucked up and yet so intriguing and beguiling.  I’m creeped out and turned on everything they’re on screen together, but no matter how uncomfortable I feel I can’t look away.  I nearly lost my shit when Amanda’s ‘Defiling Alex Now’ white shade of privacy fell down!  I’m gonna have fun watching them.

Percy actually managed to work up a little bit of menace this episode.  I found him more interesting in this episode than all of the first season!

“Aw, Nerd.  You’re lonely!”

LOL.  I love funny!Nikita, and it was nice to see Birkhoff worked back into the action.

In conclusion, I CANNOT wait for episode 2x02!

I was worried how this season would go and 5 minutes in Nikita was guilt-ridden over Alex and couldn't get her out of her head.

I was so happy to see this! I thought Nikita wasn't nearly as concerned with Alex as she should have been in the last part of season 1, so I was glad to see the Mama Bear in Nikita come out. Fuck Michael trying to make her forget! You're jello, Michael, lime green jello and that's all there is to it!

And I'm not the only one that saw the parallel with the Season 1 opener where Nikita shot Michael in an alley to protect him because she cares, right?

Yeah, and it makes me happy that the Alex/Nikita scene was so much more intense and meaningful. Nikita and Alex sizzle and simmer and burn in a way Nikita and Michael never have and never will, and mirror scenes like that really show it!
