| Michael's POV Onscreen:
10 minutes |
Michael and Nikita raid a
bookshop to secure a Bright Star database. Egress is messy, they get separated and Nikita
gets shot, but when Michael reaches the location, all he finds is a bloodstain.
Unaccountably, Section procedure states that she should be declared ‘killed in
action’ after only six hours absence (when did that one get into the rule book?) and
Operations has no further interest. Michael claims his promised 15 days downtime (Sympathy
for the Devil) to find her, but is not allowed to use Section resources. So he gets
his own bike and leathers (sigh) but again unaccountably needs Section personnel to
provide a simple vehicle licence plate trace (lame!). This involves newbie Jason, who gets
a bit overenthusiastic and mistakes Nikita’s prison for a Bright Star substation.
Biker Mikey goes in with guns blazing, carries her out to the strains of the Wedding
March, and – here’s the most bizarre bit of all – subjects the wounded and
abused Nikita to 11 days’ ‘honeymoon’ in a tent. Noooo! |

In his defence we can say that
Roy had nothing to do with the revolting scenes showing Creepy Collins and his even dafter
mother. Probably has never even seen them - lucky him. Then again, he’s not too
involved in the best bit, which is the incorrigible Jason being totally disrespectful to
Madeline. And he probably had to let the stuntman do the impressive wheelie too. So what did
he do? Well, he modelled those leathers admirably, did some riding and shooting at the
same time, and demonstrated once again the awesome power of those thighs. Not a career
high. |
