I loved this series way back in the days of the corporate radio machine, every episode was scored with tremendous music that I had never heard of before! Just an FYI for you Nakitaheads out there, the entire series is now available for purchase on iTunes, although it is a bit pricey. And I just watched the original Luc Besson film for free on Hulu last week, definitely worth a re-take! [ Reply ]

It was such a great show. As far as I know, it's totally defunct. Your only option is to purchase all the seasons on DVD (and there are scant extras, but who cares? The show itself is worth to cost.) Warner Brothers totally dropped the ball on this show. And I'm not surprised. [ Reply ]

I never saw the TV series La Femme Nikita, but vaguely remember the original (Luc Besson?) film in French which was disturbing and genre-busting. I must make a point of getting it out of my local library to watch it again. I edited my original post because apparently, my cat sat on the keyboard and deleted a bunch of stuff, so my comments didn't make a lot of sense. (Maybe they still don't.) As for the conventions, they were discontinued in around 2000. The original Luc Besson film was a lot darker and more violent than the series. He has an exceptional talent as a director, though.

It's worth a look. And a listen - tons of great music, not the least of which is Sean Callery's score. (He's a nice guy, too.)

Cynaera Jun 20, 2010 - 16:28	The first time I ever heard this song was at a "La Femme Nikita" convention in Toronto in about 1998. It was playing at full volume, and all I could think was, "Holy crap - I think my heart just vibrated out of my body through my mouth." I didn't know it was Depeche Mode, but someone at the con told me, and I bought the CD right away. That bass-line just rocks me. A lot of the music of "La Femme Nikita" was Canadian artists and cutting-edge techno. Man, I miss that show... Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Bill! [ Reply ]
