Episode 15: Origins

Mini-Review

By: Carlos Uribe

Nikita is a show about a spy bringing down a roque government agency.

Spoilers Ahoy!

You know what Nikita is really good at? Making me want to see the next episode immediately. I don't want to wait weeks to see the next episode and that is frustrating. This episode reveals the origins of Division and reveals that Carla knew about Ari and Amanda. She thought Ari was just a government employee and not a Russian agent, which is why she didn't think it was important. Alex, meanwhile, reveals to the world that she is still alive but this leads to her life being put in danger by Gogol. A lot of twists happen but she manages to escape. Percy also finds out the truth about Amanda and Ari but it's unknown when he plans to use the information. It's also extremely good in that Carla may be on Team Nikita when it comes down to taking down Amanda, but she's on Team Percy when it comes to giving Percy Division back. She still believes the program can be saved and this only adds yet another complication to the Nikita scene.

This was a really good episode. It didn't just add a complication and set up an effective cliff-hanger, but is also moved the Alex storyline very well. She's back to planning on taking back Zetrov after Semak tried to have her killed, and she made that intention public. That was a declaration of war. It also had some really great action scenes but that's to be expected from Nikita. Honestly, if you're missing this show, then you're missing one of the best shows on television right now.
