Season 5 Ending - Not Buying it

Hear, hear! Just saw the ending myself, and I was sooo disappointed. I couldn't believe she got stuck with Section and Michael left. Completely depressing.

"Dude, you're confusing reality with porn again."

I agree. I think the way it ended implied it wasn't over between Michael and Nikita. Michael tells Nikita that one day his son won't need him as much which implies they will be together again.

Throughout the series conditions always worked against them but they persevered and ended up being together anyway. If anything Nikita being the new "Operations" might give her more power and latitude to meet up with Michael again.

Lol...I agree, Dark Raven. But hey...at least they left it open for a "sequel" of sorts. I would absolutely enjoy picking up where the series finale left off say, 10-15 years in to the future.

Judge no one...love and accept everyone.

I've only watched the season 5 finale once but it was enough to leave me gutted. I watch the other episodes over and over but i can't watch that "ending" again, it sucks.

I always thought that when it ended they would run off together. When they are at the train station and he gets on board the train i just kept shouting jump on it with him, jump. What confuses me is how she can just watch him leave after everything that they went through to be together she just let him go without her.
I never doubted through all 5 seasons that Michael loved her, that no matter what he wanted to be with her, so what confuses me is how he could leave without her, i know that he had Adam to think of but they still could have been together. I always thought that no matter what, that at the end they would fins a way to be together.

And i know that some of you are saying that they left it open but why, they knew that they were not going to get another season. This was there chance to finish it cleanly. To give us fans a proper ending for the couple and they completely copped out and went for an ending that they had to know would upset us.

In my opinion either she should have jumped on the train and left with him to start a new life or he and Adam should have stayed with her and helped her to make section into a better place. Either one would have made me happy.

live and let live

I have never liked the ending of Season 5, although I was pleased that they continued, I felt that there was no real effort to deal with the main characters. I also don't think that Peta was that invested in it at that point. so sad; such a great show that deserved a much better ending.

I understand it was a terrible ending for many fans and especially many that "shipped" Michael/Nikita. Also, the ending--any ending perhaps--would have been more satisfying if they weren't forced to cut LFN's overall series vision short.

Personally, I did not like the ending, but it made sense in terms of both show's tone and also Nikita's story arc--her constant struggle to be free and yet ending in the same position she hated. Also there was a fantastic reversal where many fans anticipated that Michael would end up as the new Operations eventually, but instead that fell to Nikita.

There was never going to be a happily ever after, but at least both of the lead characters survived. For such a dark show, in today's television writing, odds are at least one of them would have been killed (probably Michael). Still, it was a very bleak ending in many ways, but that was part of the show's excellence in a strange sense. No other series so far has quite achieved the phenomenal ingredients that made LFN unique in tone, execution, and writing (most of the time anyway).
