i do think it will be that soon! mid-season finale amanda kills michael, nikita's team is broken, climax to nikita killing amanda in the season finale. and the show needs to amp up the drama anyway.

Ooooh yeah, I can def see this. And if this is the shows last season, this is def how it needs to play out.

The fatalist in me wants it to end with Nikita killing Amanda, but also killing herself in the process.

And Alex takes control of Zetrov after having her season of "toying with the dark side", she intends to do right by Nikita's legacy, but we can't help but wonder if she's still her father's daughter. And with all that money and power, who knows what she may be capable of...

But Division's destroyed at least.

I'm kind of a sadist when it comes to my shows, obvs...

Noooo, you're so mean. I want it to be a happy ending. HAPPY, I TELL YOU.

I hate all these Michael death rumours, I'm not a super fan of his but I don't want him to die. :(

I want them to have a happy ending tooooooo, but can I imagine them all moving to a house (or several) on a beach somewhere and living out the rest of their lives in peace?

.....not really....and it pains me because they all deserve to ideallic happy ending filled with palm trees and hammocks and those drinks with the little umbrellas in them.

So that's what the happy person inside of me wants, but the TV-obsessed fan inside me wants the meatiest story line ever.

I'm a horribly person...truly.

Did you ever watch Alias? Because that's how that ended. Beach front property, kids, the whole shebang. I don't like sad endings, they make me not want to rewatch the show if it ends shittily. But I'm a wussy baby like that, so idk.

I loved Alias. For the first two seasons, my mom and I would sit down every week and watching Alias together would be our weekly ritual. I loved that show in all its mind-bending, cliffhanger-loving, crazy mythology having glory.

But the ending was just not my cup of tea. Granted, I thought that the show had completely messed up way before the series finale, but that's just me.

And as much as I love these characters and want them to be happy, I don't know if sitting on a beach for the rest of her life is what's going to make Nikita happy. I think at some point she's going to realise that taking down Division won't actually stop Division and then all hell will break loose for her and she won't be able to just leave it all behind.

But as I said, I'm kind of a cynic when it comes to these things. I don't think I believe in the happy ending. I kind of side eye and look for the sniper lurking on a nearby rooftop.

OMG I was so fucking obsessed with Alias for the first two seasons. Then S3 happened and I was all wtf, and yeah, 'nuff said about S4 and S5. But yeah, the first two years were pretty flawless and made me rip my hair out at the cliffhangers every episode.

The ending wasn't my favourite either being that I hated Vaughn and hated him and Syd together Sarkney forever, but whatevs~. I was glad Syd got her normal life she wanted, she'd been through enough shit in her life.

I just find that a bad ending for a show can make me bitter about the whole thing and never want to watch it again. Which would suck because I own it on blu ray. :P Plus, while downer endings are more ~artistic they make me feel bad, and I'd rather be happy even if what they came up with was cheesy. Yes, I'm a dork, I'm well aware of this.
