Difficult question maybe a black box - if there are some, although I guess they didn't have a lot of them - or some Maggie's dresses or some spy gadget like those to open closed doors

[FrellingTralk]

A spy gadget would be cool

The Birkhoff's necklace would be fun, too, the one he has always, with four B

HAVE ANYONE noticed that the CAST have stolen my line that I have posted here in my previous threads and everywhere on the internet.

I SAIDEnd it with a BANG (the show) Now the entire cast have said the same thiong a hundred times in interviews.
At least they can admit that they got it from me and stop stealing stuff. That`s messed up!

At least like say that you got that line from a fan of the show.....

[airali_glo]

Henestly I doubt they stole it from you, you're like one in a million on internet and in general they don't need to "stole" sentences from people on internet...especially if it's a common idea, it's an expression very used

But even if they took it from you...I'd think it's pretty cool I'd like to



A thing from Tv Line, from "Ask Matt". He says a thing that a lot of fans will surely agree with:

Question: Although I am excited by the announcement that the last six episodes of Nikita begins Nov. 22, why has this quality show been forsaken by the public? This show has had good writing, acting and action, yet it has garnered low ratings and little regard. I think you are my last best hope for a cogent explanation. — Walter Matt Roush: Is this cogent enough? It was too good for The CW. Poorly scheduled (especially once it was dumped onto Fridays) and indifferently promoted, but also out of sync with the relentlessly immature and insipid programming that airs through most of the network's schedule, Nikita returns with its final episodes thrown into the maw of the holiday season, where its series finale will air between Christmas and New Year's. Way to go, CW.

Great answer I've said it here before, but people always say that TvD was such a great lead-in for Nikita just because of it's high ratings and demo, but I've always thought it was a terrible match with Nikita because they were such different shows. It's no wonder a show that is nearly all action didn't have much audience cross-over with a show that is mostly about love triangles


Even in the very first season, I think that Nikita didn't have much of a chance on the CW with how it was being promoted and scheduled. And what's the point in even paying for those final six episodes (which couldn't have been that cheap) if they're going to hide them away in such a terrible slot! Around Christmas time is when most networks stuck cost-effective re-runs, not brand new episodes that they've spend a lot of money on

[airali_glo]

About the Nikita stuff sale...it seems it wasn't even expensive! I read of Maggie's dresses worth 3000 $ sold for...90 $! There were even wigs (that someone bought for Halloween...). It seems also that a lot of people went and bought stuff even if they didn't know/watched the show. And we were here!


The poor schedule thing to me it was because the CW didn't expect it to last. Like 'we put it on Friday, it goes bad and we cancel it after S2". Things went differently, but the numbers weren't that good to move it again in a better slot, they had different shows to promote and Nikita wasn't a HIT. So they never changed it. I think that was the same for the promotion - it couldn't help a lot, so they didn't spend money for it.

They do it for closure, the ratings don't really matter anymore. It ends, so for the network is better to save good spots for better shows, not for Nikita that 1) is going to do bad numbers and 2) ends. I think the slot it has - Christmas time - was the only one they could put it without damaging other shows.

Yeah at the time of Nikita season 2 nearly all of CW's shows were doing awful numbers, I remember 90210 and some of the new shows were getting similar numbers to Nikita when they were airing during the week! The demo was never great, but overall ratings for Nikita didn't get that bad until season 3, so at the time of season 2 the CW probably figured that they may as well keep Nikita on Friday as their other less successful shows like 90210 would most likely have done even worse if they had been moved to that slot

They probably moved it there to let it die - they knew it wasn't a great day for a show. Just it didn't happen, or, at least, not at the point that they had to cancel it.


GAG REEL! They're fun, but I liked more the S2 ones

Michael Poopypants or Shane throwing a kiss to the camera

Thanks for the link

[airali_glo]

Also the "You sniffed my pants drawer? I knew it" with Maggie being like that line was part of the scene and Shane trying to do it anyway

[PhoenixRising]

I love the bloopers! Thanks for posting that!

I completely understand what you guys are saying about Nikita and The CW and I pretty much agree, but at the same time I can't help be grateful that we are at least getting those six episodes and closer. Something that not a lot of shows get like 90210 with a messy ending or The Glades which was left with an awful cliffhanger. It completely sucks, but we are luckier than others. Just my opinion.


Thank you for posting the video!

[PhoenixRising]

Well, the CW's 90210 was a messy show to begin with that was mostly riding on the legacy of the original 90's BH90210 on Fox that preceded it, but I understand what you mean.

[FrellingTralk]

It is good that we will still get some closure with these final six episodes
