With TET, I always watch the episode with my hands over my face, just barely peeking at the screen. I always get caught up in the icky TR stuff.
Anyways, with Greg, his presence always screams trouble to me; and yes, I never understood why Paul kept him around, but then again, I never understood why TR kept HR around when HR started being a problem for TR around the beginning of S4. I mean instead of making robot Nikita, it would have made more sense to cancel her or design a profile to take care of her.
Okay, this is a total DON rant.
Okay, I have a meta opinion about this and a non meta opinion about this.
For the non meta opinion, I tend to ignore the TR fuck ups because when they started fucking up royally, it seemed to be a writer's convenience rather than they were characters who would screw up. For so long, the writers went to great pains to show that TR was a step ahead and then suddenly at the end of S3, they are a step slow and constantly making poor decisions. Maybe if the writers had given a substantial reason to why TR had suddenly lost their brains, I could buy it.
For the meta opinion, my concerns with Nikita running Section revolve around who she is as a person. It's not about intelligence, it's about having the stomach to do vile things to win. Paul/Madeline can boil everything down to numbers and body counts. Nikita doesn't have that kind of detachment.
The other thing is, Nikita doesn't desire Section the way TR did.
