So I finally made it through the rest of Nikita and it's basically a reconfigured, dumbed down version of Dollhouse. Dollhouse was higher concept and focused on the new recruit (and the person trying to take down the Dollhouse was a mystery) whereas Nikita has the main character trying to take down The Division and the new recruit is more of a b-story.

Still, the show was OK. Nothing new and I'm not sure that there's going to be enough there to keep me coming back week after week but the pilot was good enough to keep me around for another episode or two. Right now, I'd recommend it only as a DVR and check it out if yuu have time type of show and it actually may be more of a show that's best to wait and hear how season 1 pans out and then catch up on in on DVD. Although, I highly doubt that there will be a season 2 because it's going up against the loaded Thursday night at 9 competition of Grey's Anatomy, CSI, The Office, and Fringe. Right now, I'm just not sure there's enough to Nikita for it to survive there. It strikes me as more of a USA or TBS type show and not a real network staple.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I also started watching "Hellcats" but couldn't make it through. It seems like a straight-to-DVD rip-off of Bring It On with a little bit of Glee thrown in (with lame excuses for why the team has to win or the cheerleading team will be cancelled and some extended dance sequences.) The show might be OK on the Disney Channel or something but it doesn't seem like a network show. Then again, it and Nikita are both on the CW and that's not really a network.
