Section One must prevent a terrorist named Tyler (Richard Clarkin) from deploying a lethal and untraceable polymer explosive. As part of this operation, Nikita (Peta Wilson) and Michael (Roy Dupuis) must save the inventor of the explosive, Stanley Shays (Sean Whalen), from Tyler's clutches. When this fails, Nikita is ordered to "cancel" Shays -- an order she flatly refuses. As punishment, Section One assigns Nikita to a suicide mission, causing Michael (Roy Dupuis) to question his own loyalty. This final episode of La Femme Nikita's first season ends in a cliffhanger that will be not be resolved until the opening installment of season two. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Where has director Michael Anderson been since Logan's Run? Earning his keep on such slick TV-style time-fillers as Millennium. Kris Kristofferson plays the head of an official committee investigating the head-on collision of two commercial jets. A thorough analysis reveals the presence of a weapon of unknown origin in the wreckage; it is also pointed out that some of the victims' watches are running backwards. This, coupled with the cryptic warnings by flight attendant Cheryl Ladd to drop the investigation, prompts Kristofferson to burrow further and uncover the truth: Ladd is a sentinel from 1000 years in the future, who has come back to the 20th Century to help repopulate her dying civilization. Plot pegs and obstacles are in the hands of such sideline characters as enigmatic professor Daniel Travanti and amiable android Robert Joy. Millennium was adapted by John Varley from his own story Air Raid. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
