Nikita wraps up its run with a tight six episode fourth season. The end of the third season saw Nikita (Maggie Q) framed for assassinating the U.S. president. Now the most wanted woman in America, Nikita, alone and running, is desperate to clear her name. In the midst of all this, she is unexpectedly reunited with her old team. Michael Bishop (Shane West) her former fiancé, and the man who trained her; Alexandra “Alex” Udinov (Lyndsy Fonseca) the protégé Nikita trained to destroy Division; hacker and tech guru Seymour Birkoff (Aaron Stanford); and ex-CIA analyst Ryan Fletcher (Noah Bean). Even Sam (formerly known as Owen) (Devon Sawa), a Division former Division cleaner and Guardian is around, which makes the possibility of counterespionage high.

Trying to wrap things up in a scant six episodes is a tough job. To their credit, the writers do manage to bring all the major players back, and give them their own storylines that creatively tie back to the major thread of attempting to clear Nikita’s name. They also take time to take down the down the evil Amanda (Melinda Clarke) and Philip Jones (David S. Lee), who are attempting to start World War III so they may profit from the sale of weapons and machinery. Of course, things are much more personal for Amanda, since she was once head of Division and a mentor to Nikita and Alex.

While the season didn’t have a lot of time to focus on the interpersonal relationships between characters, the writers did a pretty good job of pairing everyone off so we could at least watch them attempt to sort out their love lives. Nikita and Michael try to patch things up, while Alex and Sam find they have feelings for each other, nerdy Ryan Fletcher is ‘involved’ with intellectual pursuits. Outside of the romantic realm, Judd Nelson turns up as a man named Ronal Peller, playing an important part in how things wrap up.

Is the fourth season of Nikita perfect? No. However, it’s pretty darn good, considering we were probably lucky to get any kind of fourth season at all. The final batch of episodes is fast paced, convoluted and entertaining, much like the rest of the series. Pretty people blow a lot of stuff up. Who could ask for more from a show like Nikita?

Presented in the 1.78:1 aspect ratio, Warner Bros. 1080p transfer is quite good. Sporting nice detail and clarity, the image is a standout. Colors are bright and vivid throughout, contrast is strong giving things a nice definition.

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix is robust without being overwhelming. Action scenes are highlighted, but never drowned out the crisp dialogue. The mix displays smart balance throughout, as the effects and music often drop slightly to accommodate the actors when necessary.
