Relationship Recap: Alex and Sean “Nikita”

Last night, Sean told Alex he loved her and she was floored to hear it. Frankly so was I. Where the hell did that come from? How come we haven’t seen any of that onscreen? I feel like for everything TPTB have done right by Nikita and Michael, they’ve biffed it across the board for Alex and Sean. We had some really wonderful scenes of them together late last season in the run up to their first kiss and that’s pretty much been it. I think the kiss after he tells her is only the second one we’ve had.

We’ve known for weeks that the season two finale was going to be epic, and we’d had the very bad cast tease us mercilessly there would be a body count. Well, they were right on both counts.

The series hit a reset in a major way, and if the CW had closed the door last week, instead of happily greenlighting a third season, we’d have been OK because it left with Nikita and co. alive and well and embarking on a daring new path on their own terms.

Dear CW:
I know we’re about to find out soon since upfronts are next week but you really need to greenlight a Season 2 for Nikita. The finale set up so many interesting things, it would be criminal to end it all now. The episode was intense, had great drama and surprises. Other thoughts:

Nikita Rewind: “Free”

Imagine my surprise when I started watching the January 27th episode of Nikita and spotted Thad Luckinbill playing Alex’s neighbor, Nathan. I love this casting because this is a bonafide soap star reunion. You see, once upon a time, Lyndsy Fonseca was the cute yet always-in-danger teen Colleen Carlton on CBS’ The Young and the Restless. One of Colleen’s boyfriends was the older J.T. Hellstrom, played by none other than…Thad Luckinbill. Thad left Y&R late last year, after starring on the number one daytime soap for over a decade. I’ve always thought Luckinbill was someone who should be in primetime (remember his Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode from Season 7?); so I’m glad he made the decision to exit the show. The fact he quickly picked up Nikita backs his decision up big time.
