Review – Nikita – Rough Trade
I am sleek, hot and deadly.
This week:
Nikita plans to foil the nefarious ways of The Division. Nikita kicks butt. Michael chases her. Alex tries to help. Resolution.
Pluses:
Solid character development for Nikita, Alex and Michael.
Love some of the fight scenes - using an iron was very Jackie Chan.
Plot again wasn't the standard "here is a mission that I am going to ruin" story.
Minuses:
Michael still looks like a cross between multiple males on tv.
Percy character skill needs work.
Not a lot of growth for the recruits.
I am liking this show more and more each week. I still think Maggie Q needs a sandwich - but the plot, characters, action, acting and direction makes it one of the better Fall Shows.

Review – Stargate Universe – Season 2 Premier – Intervention (3)
Just another bad day onboard Destiny
This week:
Destiny and its crew are in danger. The naughty people who dropped in unannounced are in danger. TJ has an experience. Chloe questions. A revelation opens all new questions.
Pluses:
Chloe development.
Rush having bigger balls than Young.
TJ's revelation.
Minuses:
Felt skew-wiff for almost all of the episode.
Varro development 0 surprise.
Telford was a bit meh.
After the frantic feel of the season cliff hanger, I found it hard to get into the rhythm of this episode with three story lines going on, one at a totally different pace. That being said, it ended strong and set up this season nicely. The choice of song for the close really transferred the emotion.
