Oh, see in real life, I would run very far away from someone like Madeline and Paul and gravitate more towards Nikita, fun/joking/irreverent. In real life, I think that when you start taking the ends justify the means position, you become the thing that you were trying to prevent. And really, most of my rant, comes from the fact that I was a little bitter about how S5 ended up. Very sour grapes of me, I know.
I really liked Nikita for those first two seasons; but as the show took the HR v TR approach later on, I admittedly chose TR mainly because I was fascinated by the fact that these two individuals were attempting to 'play god.' And there were several other tropes in play that I'm very susceptible too as well.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree about the nature of Section which is perfectly awesome because agreeing about everything would be very boring! ;)
I will admit that I'm guilty of the 'Nikita fails as a leader at Section trope.' In a way, I'm right because had TR lived they would have probably hated the way Nikita ran Section, thus she would have failed as a leader in their eyes.
And maybe the point that I should have made or I tried to make but it came off as rather clumsy, say that Nikita does maintain her leadership over Section/Oversight/whatever else she was in control over, the changes that she would have enacted during her leadership would have fundamentally altered Section to the point that Section would have become a completely different entity and no longer the Section that I grew to know.
