    just got done and was about to make a thread. Seemed better than I expected for a CW show since outside of Supernatural, and my guilty love of Smallville most of their stuff is meh. I'll give it a few more to see if it continues to be fairly solid.

    They made another one? Won't be the same without Peta Wilson or Roy Dupis.

    I think this Nikita is more believable. The other one spent all her time crying and shaking out her hair.

    I don't understand how this plot has spawned a couple of movies and two TV series though. Can't they come up with something new for a strong female lead?

    While the story is nothing new, the premiere was pretty intense and done well. I'll definitely watch it some more and see if it keeps up the pace. Was surprised to see this from the CW though, they are known for their Tween type shows.. this was something you expect on FX or Fox

    All this pilot did was make me start rewatching LFN ^^ Anyone who hasn't seen it should go and watch it also

    NECCRROOOOO

    But ya, are BG"rs still watching this show? It continues to impress me week after week, and they keep on tossing out game changers left and right. Hard to know where the show is going but it's continually very good. Surprised this thread has gotten no love... just wondering other ppl's thoughts

    I've been watching it, and it is pretty damned good. Ep 17 was epic.

    I have tried to sit through it. I liked it for the first couple months, then the story just turned a little too "I'm watching what some 9-5 schmuck writers are being salaries for." The premise of the show was pretty laughable to start with, but it was still entertaining. I haven't been able to sit through the last 6 or more eps, I think I've pretty much given up on it and, according to the ratings, even with the CW's highest rated show as a lead in (vamp diaries) a lot of others have forgotten about it too.

    Yeah, there have been plenty of "oh shit" moments where I couldn't even think of any ways for them to get out of it. This weeks cliffhanger is one of them.. How, I have no idea. But it was amazing

    Nercobump.

    I'm really surprised this isn't being talked about more. Season 1 felt pretty episodic, but Season 2 is much more fluid and more engaging. Hell, there's actually progression in this season.
