Theatrical Release Information:
La Femme Nikita: Season 05

As originally conceived, La Femme Nikita was to have ended its run with its season-four "Lady or the Tiger" finale. But when thousands of viewers wrote in to the USA network demanding that the series come to a more dramatically satisfying denouement, the series was renewed for a fifth and final season. This is the year in which heroine Nikita (Peta Wilson) finally learns why she was rescued from a life prison sentence and recruited by the covert anti-terrorist organization Section One. Also, the true identity of the mercurial Section One head man "Operations" is revealed -- and the news has a very special meaning to the astonished Nikita! In other developments relevant to the series' "closure," Operation's deceased second-in-command, Madeline (Alberta Watson), is resurrected in the form of a holographic clone; "canceled" computer wonk Birkoff is replaced by Kate Quinn (Cindy Dolenc); and the relationship between Nikita and her partner and lover, Michael (Roy Dupuis), takes an unexpected turn during Michael's efforts to save his son, Adam (Evan Caravella), from terrorists. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
