Paul and Madeline

[swatkat]

Since we were talking about harshness - are we, the Michael/Nikita fans, too harsh when it comes to Paul and Madeline? Even those of us who actually like and admire them (including myself)? We're always going on about their cruelty and how Michael or Nikita (Nikita for me *g*) would've done a better job as Operations - why is that so? Now that we know all about Oversight and Centre, wasn't what Paul and Madeline did for their own survival, just like the way Michael and Nikita fought to survive in Section? And what is the guarantee that Michael and Nikita wouldn't do the exact same things when they got the power? Your thoughts here. *g*

Nell, tell me why Nikita wouldn't fall in the same trap as Paul in order to survive.

Behold! We've reached agreement! Heh heh...

I do think that, being flawed human beings, Michael and Nikita, together or alone, would make mistakes runing section - perhaps fatal (to them anyway) ones, just as Madeline and Paul did (or, the system will crush them or they will run up against a new Mr Jones figure...) in any case, their success isn't guarunteed by any means.

That's really all I've ever been trying to say, LOL.

Hey...listen! That thudding sound is the entire fandom fainting away at the thought of us finally reaching the same conclusion. *g*

As for you missy,

you know perfectly well we were here before we began.

It is the journey that is interesting, not the destination. LOL!
