A Time for Every Purpose

I only started watching this series in season 5. 10 years after the series aired. So. I have no heat of the moment, and/or trending thoughts. I watched it with my 12 year old son. He saw it as a James bond kind of adventure.

This final episode made him cry. But it was exiting and a worthy final to a series like this.

Was it exiting? No. Was it innovative? No? It was touching to someone like my son. And to be honest someone like me.

La Femme Nikita is a great show. Despite it's flaws and despite the fact that screenwriters kept pushing the envelope too many times with twists and turns, it still kept being thrilling and interesting until the end. And yes, finally, the lack of creativity in the end of season four has been redeemed here, in final episodes of last season.

Or as my pre-reviewer said: "The ending leaves you with mixed feeling but it's actually great to see both Michael and Nikita's father - both sacrificing themselves for their children in their own way. And in the end, the love of Michael and Nikita remains... a love that survives despite all odds... but a love they will carry with them even though the choices they are forced to make keep them separate."
