5.4 All the World's a Stage Walter: "The truth will set you free." Nikita: "Not in this place." I can feel a Mick-related tirade coming on. When Mick was revealed as Mr. Jones in the middle of season four, silly me, I thought it was cool. When it was revealed at the end of season four that Nikita worked for him, I was only partially on board because, come on, three years? What about all the times we saw them together in Nikita's apartment, and nothing covert was mentioned? Too far-fetched. But having him turn out to be some idiotic actor? "They were so pleased with me that they gave me the plum role of Mr. Jones." WTF? He wasn't even Mick all this time? I mean, come on! Nobody can ad lib that well. The truth is, Mick Schtoppel was good comic relief, and he should have stayed comic relief. They should never have screwed with the character at all. Moving right along... Quinn has an agenda. Is she bad, or just ambitious? I got a big charge out of Operations and Quinn having a tug of war with a disk, arguing about sex, and ending up in the Tower together. And now it looks like she's spying on him. Does she work for Center, too? Everybody else does. Finally, it appears that the man behind the curtain is the real "Mr. Jones," Nikita's father. Who will he turn out to be? I guess it doesn't matter, as long as it's not Operations or Mick Schtoppel. Bits and pieces: -- Michelle, with the name beginning with M, is Nikita's sister? Is she Roberta's daughter, too? How can that be? -- The office scene with the new Mr. Jones was fairly creepy. What happened to Mick? Is the poor schmuck dead? -- Nikita danced with another woman in the nightclub. I miss Michael. -- More Jasmine. She appears to be around mostly for other people to have dialogue with. -- In the teaser, Nikita took a high tech elevator to the surface. It reminded me of Robert A. Heinlein's descriptions of a "bounce tube." -- Section used to be near the Eiffel Tower. The new digs are near the water. Quotes: Quinn: "I'd like to feel you can count on me for whatever you need." Operations: "What do you think? Go to bed with me, wake up with Madeline's job?" Nikita: "I've been waiting seven years for an answer. I'm out of patience." Me, too. This episode dragged, even though it ended with a cliffhanger. Two out of four stars, Billie |
