AboutGenie Expertise I can answer questions about the characters, dialogue, storyline and episodes from all seasons. I can also answer questions about music and websites where more information can be found about the show.
Experience I have been watching the show since the very first episode and have every episode on tape. I know all the episodes from start to finish & if there's something I don't know personally, I usually know exactly where to find the answer.

Question I remember vaguely reading in the Toronto newspapers about the cancellation of LFN after season 4. What exactly did the fans do to bring back the show for 8 episodes in season 5? And it was wonderful to see everyone return for the brief season. Did they (cast and crew) know in advance that they would only be filming eight episodes or was there a possiblity that there may have been a full season? Any more news on a DVD release for season 5?
Answer Hi, Holly.
The fans protested like crazy! We sent mail, email, and bought a full-page ad in a magazine. Some people sent sunglasses because they were Nikita's signature look. Others sent televisions &/or VCRs...because without Nikita on TV they no longer needed them!
The cast did know that they were only filming 8 episodes.
No news yet on season 5, but I expect we'll hear about it shortly after season 4 gets released in July.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
