Line 4:
* [[Actor Shipping]]: Shane West and Maggie Q.
* [[Acceptable Political Targets]]: Percy is displeased about Anya getting away in ep. 19:
{{quote| ''"She escaped custody two years ago, then the Swiss got ahold of her. Really, the Swiss?"''}}
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: {{spoiler|Percy, especially when seeing Roan's reaction.}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: Percy.
** Amanda. Hint: if you're being detained and ''she'' walks into the room, it's time to start screaming. She even manages to bring Nikita to tears during her capture.
Line 12:
*** This also makes Percy releasing him yet another [[Moral Event Horizon]]... for a character who really didn't need anymore.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Roan is quite popular for a mostly [[The Quiet One|wordless]] sociopath. The fact that he's a [[Badass]] [[Made of Iron]] probably helps.
* [[Fan -Preferred Couple]]: Michael/Alex, [[Mentor Ship|Michael/Nikita]] and [[Les Yay|Alex/Nikita]], [[Not So Different|Nikita/Owen]], also Thom/Alex which is {{spoiler|quite impossible due to Thom's death in the 11th episode}}
** Although after the reveal that {{spoiler|Michael's daughter would be close to Alex's age}} the former lost a lot of appeal for many viewers.
** And now Michael/Nikita has graduated to [[Official Couple]].
Line 25:
*** And any moral points she still had left go out the window in "Fair Trade" when she nearly ''lobotomizes'' {{spoiler|Birkhoff.}}
* [[The Scrappy]]: Ever since the first episode, Jaden has been consistently annoying both to Alex and the viewers.
** [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap]]: Jaden in "Girl's Best Friend," putting aside her rivalry with Alex to focus on the mission, and gunning down a terrorist and all his [[Mook|Mooks]].
*** Ryan was disliked by much of the fanbase, until "Pandora", where he [[Took a Level Inin Badass|took a level in badass]] by {{spoiler|''holding the director of the CIA at gunpoint''}} in order to help Nikita.
* [[Portmanteau Couple Name]]: "Mikita" for Michael and Nikita.
** And in real life, there's "Shaggie" for fans of Shane West and Maggie Q being a couple.
* [[Special Effect Failure]]: In "Pandora" while {{spoiler|Nikita's building burns.}}
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Alex's flashbacks after her {{spoiler|panic attack}}, and the reason why in the fourth episode.
Line 34:
** In the season finale, Alex [[Calling the Old Man Out|calls Nikita out]] for her obsession with taking down Division, and using her. You can practically ''see'' their relationship fall apart on screen as Nikita tearfully tries to justify her actions. And the worst part is, we'll never know if it would have worked, since at that moment an assault team [[Mood Whiplash|attacks the loft]].
* [[Villain Sue]]: Percy has a lot of these traits. He is almost never unnerved, he always has a back up plan, and even when Team Nikita wins the battles, he most often wins the wars. However, this has finally been averted {{spoiler|at the end of season 2 in "Homecoming" where he meets his demise at the hands of Nikita. Literally. She drops his ass down a shaft and he lands in the prison Amanda used to keep him in. [[Karmic Death]] indeed.}}
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Alex
 
=== The Luc Besson film contains examples of: ===
 
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Victor. Seriously.
