Me too. They're simply beautiful. *g* Do get a kitten soon. It'll be interesting to see Mr. Spawn of Satan reacting to one, especially if it's a spunky, snarky one. *eg*
Now, this person never really struck me as a MCDATHWALDGI person, but maybe that's because she rarely posts and I haven't interacted much with her in the past. I'm not sure if I should post the link, because then I'd have to lock this - but here's what she said:
I've often wondered how Nikita could justify being so cavalier in some instances. It's almost as if she just thinks for the moment, acting on emotion obviously, instead of weighing the consequences of her actions. Then again, if she was a more forward-thinking person, then perhaps she wouldn't have been so caught off guard in that alley where she was framed for murder. I know if I happened upon someone with a knife in a dark alley, I would be running the other way immediately to get as far away from the scene as possible. But that's just me. Come to think of it, I wouldn't be in the alley at all even if I was a street kid. (Talking about WOB and Nikita trying to protect Jamie)
I definitely agree with you on this. S5 is another instance where Nikita needlessly makes herself a huge martyr to save the world. Yes, you don't want to sentence innocent people to die. And yes, it's important to stay true to your word. But why feel the need to be loyal to someone who was never loyal to you? Family or not, her father really didn't make amends for the years he kept her in the dark and the torture she endured as part of her rise to Section's "savior." But this is a discussion for another time.I definitely agree with you on this. S5 is another instance where Nikita needlessly makes herself a huge martyr to save the world.

You raise a good point. While they are starting to connect again after Michael's total emotional breakdown, I still don't think he's quite over the fact that when he lets his emotional guard down, the people whom he cares about most get hurt. He knows what Nikita will expect of him, and he very likely isn't ready for the kind of commitment she ultimately wants -- at least not at this point.
This annoyed me. A lot. *g* What was even more annoying that when I responded, she just kinda backtracked and avoided the discussion. Don't you just hate it when people do that?
