Not too long ago, on The Nikita list a bunch of us started making up titles for season 4 episodes. Some are serious, most are funny, and all of them are good. Read and enjoy this example of the things that we do on The Nikita List.

6. The Look of Love: A real treat for all the HR's out there! Michael and Nikita FINALLY profess their undying love for each other, but just when they think they can breathe a little easier around Section, M & O have something *else* up their sleeves!! BWAAAAHAAAHAAAA!

7. A Hard Day's Night: Tipping their hat toward their fav group, The Beatles and movie, TPTB decided to film this episode in black and white giving us a "day in the life of Section One, the most covert organization on the planet." It has a real documentary feel about it.

8. No Place Like Home: Six years after her induction into Section One, Nikita finally comes to the realization that whether she likes it or not, she *is* Section and decides to make peace with herself.

11. Looking for Mr. Goodbar: This episode takes a look at Madeleine's life. We see this strong woman's more....uh....vulnerable side.....Look for some UST and WMS between Madeleine and some of her fav Valentine Ops!

12. Bang the Drum Slowly: Rudy, the Pizza delivery guy is back. Seems as if he has "talked out of turn" about Section One. Will Rudy be alright? Will Nikita be alright? Because after all, Ops said that if Rudy talked Nikita would have to cancel him herself! Stay tuned.....

13. Till Death Us Part: Nikita falls madly in love with Mick!!! Having long forgotten Michael, she makes wedding plans with Mick and all this WITH Ops and Maddie's approval!!!

14. To Have and Hold: Months after Nikita and Mick's marriage, Michael is just starting to break out of that old rut he's been in; he meets someone new and starts to develop a relationship with this person. This then starts to stir something deep in Nikita's sole--as if something is *just not right with this picture.* What will happen? Stay tuned....

18. Thank God it's Friday: It's been a long, exhausting work week, and the 5% club go out to "Par-tay" on the town!!!! Watch as Birkhoff tries to "drink like Walter" and take shots straight into his mouth while he lays on the bar!!!

21.The Which Section Project: After the last Round Table meeting, George is still indecisive about which section will end up overseeing the rest......he decides to take the best men/women from each of the sections to a remote/desolate area of the world for five days, drop them off, with just enough food and water for three days, a cam corder, some rope, their own backpacks and a flashlight. George wants to see just which section operative comes out the leader of this motley crew, certain that it will indeed turn into a "Lord of the Flies." For whoever establishes themselves leader from this godforsaken trip, their section will govern over the rest....only Oversight will be over that particular section......may the best man/woman lead!!!

My (Kelli's) List:

"Livin' La Vida Loca":

Red Cell is at it again with their most diabolical plan ever. They send out one of their most ruthless soldiers, alias: Ricky Martin, to poison the minds of countless young people with the most annoying song ever written. George, tired of hearing that song on the radio, tells Ops that Section has to take out Ricky Martin. Will they succeed? Will close proximity to that song cause the team to go insane? Does Section recruit Martin for use in helping out Frick and Frack with torture?

"Nothing Personal, Just Business":

After watching the entire Godfather trilogy back to back, Ops totally loses it. He actually starts thinking that he is Vido Corleone. He even forces the operatives to start calling him Godfather. He gains a lot of weight and starts talking just like Marlin Brando in the movie. He even goes as far as sending Red Cell a fish wrapped up in newspaper when they kill one of their people, telling them that person is "sleeping with the fishes".

Formerly's List:

Death... Mr Death: A closer look at Michael, and his REAl life outside Section. Sythe, black robes, red eyes... look, but don't touch!

Can This Be Love: No, it's not. Not as long as Maddy and Ops are there to stop it. To Be, Or Not...: To be? That is the question, isn't it? Is Nikita ready for Madeline's job?

Long Live King Arthur: We take a trip back into the past as we Section One when it was first created. Who was Kig Arthur, reeeeeaally? And was Robin Hood a Robber of the Rich - or just Section's top operative finding new, funner ways to support the ever-growing secret organisation...?

The Great Section Strike: After Michael is ordered to wear looser fitting mission pants due to increased distraction of operatives of BOTH sexes, the female - and a couple of male - Section One operatives go on strike. Then all cold ops won't budge until they claim life insurance - since they are dead to the outside world. Ops and Maddy are left to send out Nikita, who is still brainwashed and couldn't care less if Michael was totally nekkid, and a bunch of computer geeks on missions.

For the HRs:

Carlos' List:

Episode # 409 "Hey There, Doll Face" - Mick Schtoppel and Nikita are assigned to an undercover mission where they have to act as a married couple and much hilarity ensues when, in order to be convincing, they need to make love for the surveillance cameras.

Birkoff rolls tape and saves this one for the archives while Michael paces and steams in the background. Nikita is heard to comment, "Not bad Mick, not bad."

Meagan's List:

The Maddy Project: In the spring of 2000 3 operatives entered the woods of Burkittsville, Maryland to film a documentary on Red Cells Activities. Three months later their footage was found.

Lillea's List:

I'll Be Seeing You: Michael steals the "dream machine" that Frick and Frack used on Elena's father's associate (you remember, the one they hooked up to him in bed, then Maddy interrogated him to find out the whereabouts of Elena's father). He forces Frick (or it might have been Frack, we don't know) to break in to Nikita's apartment and hook her up. What follows is, well, a bit kinky. But the HR's will love it!

Section One Meets X-Files: A unique crossover episode in which the crawling black ooze does its thing with Madeline and Operations. A highlight this week is the excellent use of music . . . Maddy sings "David Duchovny, Why Won't You Love Me?" and Operations gets down with a ripping rendition of "That Old Black Magic."

Nikita's File Gets Updated: Nikita decides it's time to change her image, and goes on a killing spree. Before they can stop her, she takes out Sparks, Jurgen, David Fanning, the nasty little serial killer from Old Habits, the rat guy from War and the Abby episode, Bauer, O.J. Simpson and Adam Ant. (And yes, some of them did come back from the dead so what's your point?) Next month though, she's going to try that new herbal PMS treatment.

Monkey, Carrot Stick, Loofah: I'm sorry I cannot divulge the details of this episode but if you'll contact Calamity Jane privately, I'm sure she'll be most happy to fill you in.

Walter and the Wenches: A change of pace episode so that our stars can get a much-deserved break from filming. Walter discovers a group of Wenches on Level 11 that are devoted specifically to him, and thinks that he's been retired once again. A casting call goes out over the lists from our very own Fearless Wench Leader, Guinevere, and 10 lucky wenches are chosen for a variety of scenes. (Hey, could this be a Charity Raffle package Joyce?)

Paybacks Are A Bitch: George sends Madeline and Operations to East Timora -- because he can.

Michael Samuelle, Cum Laude: This episode is X-rated and cannot be discussed in this forum but seems to have something to do with education and a vocal cord problem.

Dr. Jane got inspired and wrote out titles and summaries for an entire season of LFN.
