Read this entry in isagel's journal now. Read the discussion that follows and tell me if they aren't talking about our fandom with all it's love for happy!fluffy! stories.
I know - but you are the only one living on your street - sigh.
It's one thing to think Nikita is stupid or foolish because of what she actually says and does; another entirely to think she's stupid and foolish just because she doesn't trust what Michael tells her - you know, her trainer, the guy who set up this whole elaborate mission in episode one, season one(!) just to teach her not to trust what he, or section, told her. A lesson he repeated whenever she showed the least sign that she might be starting to trust him, or them, over and over again for the next two and a half years.
I don't care if you think Nikita is stupid. At least you think she's stupid, as Nell said, for a reason other than the fact that she didn't always blindly follow Michael around like a lovesick puppy on a leash.
You can think Nikita is stupid as much as you want to, as long as you have a valid reason (and then I can argue with you *g*). But calling Nikita stupid because "Why couldn't she just trust him? Hasn't he always protected her?" or "Why won't she listen to what he says?"... *grrr* And you can't even argue with these people because they'll end with, "I don't care what you say, she should've done what he said, so there."

Sigh again.
