Yesterday Shane posted something on his Myspace… He really likes being Michael!

I have been swept up in the world of NIKITA :)
I just wanted to thank everyone for the support over the years and I truly hope you all are enjoying NIKITA.
Its a departure for me and a role that I LOVE.
Who wouldn’t love getting to play a spy and be a bad ass? lol
Nikita airs every Thursday night after Vampire Diaries on the CW.
My backstory episode (best written episode so far) airs this Thursday November 11th!
AND it seems we just got nominated for a People’s Choice Award for Best New TV Drama!!
GOOD START to a damn GOOD show if I don’t say so myself ;)
Thank YOU :)
Shane

So don’t forget to vote for Nikita at People Choice Awards 2011, ok?

Lovely Brittany at TvOvermind is doing a lot of reviews of Shane’s telefilms… She posted the reviews for first two episodes of “Once and again” and also a re-review of Nikita’s first episode and she really changed her opinion about Shane…

Once & Again 1.01 “Boy Meets Girl” Rewind Recap
My third spotlight here at Rewind Recaps goes to ABC’s Once & Again, the critically acclaimed blended-family drama that aired from 1999 to 2002. I’ll admit that I didn’t watch O&A when it aired, but between the critical acclaim and a cast that boasts a number of faces familiar to me, I couldn’t help but take a look.
You’ve seen most of these people before, and probably not given them their due. The show is fronted by Sela Ward (CSI: NY) and Billy Campbell (The 4400), but there’s also a much younger Shane West (Nikita) and Evan Rachel Wood (Thirteen), plus veteran actors Jeffrey Nordling (24), Susanna Thompson (NCIS) and Marin Hinkle (Two and a Half Men). Put them all together in one show, and you have a recipe for something good.

Once & Again 1.02 “Let’s Spend The Night Together” Rewind Recap
When last I left Once & Again, I was cheering that Rick and Lily had finally gotten together. Now, they’re having to try and fit their budding relationship into the overstuffed calendars that come with being working parents. I would not want to be either of them. (I’m somewhat proud to say that my parents never went to a single parent-teacher conference and maybe one back to school night, and only because I asked. They were not the type to bother.) Lily can’t even get Jake out of her kitchen, though since we’re talking about Jeffrey Nordling, I would not complain.
I finally get to see the show’s credit sequence for the first time, and I have to say that it amuses me that the clips do not correspond with the actors being credited. If you didn’t already know who plays what character, you would never figure it out by watching the opening titles. I think it’s a bit weird, but no one asked me.

Nikita 1.01 “Pilot” Re-Review
With tonight’s episode of Nikita being a rerun, I decided to take a second look at the pilot and re-evaluate my first impressions, to see if things looked any different now. For the most part, I found myself sticking by what I said in my original review, but there were some aspects which became much clearer the second time around.
As I said then, the pilot episode is definitely a pilot. It’s clunky, expository, and only a so-so episode on the whole – but that’s what a pilot is. It has to spend most of its running time explaining to you who these people are and why you should care, and Nikita got the first part down, but not so much the second. I didn’t then and don’t now consider that a failure, considering that I can count on one hand the number of pilot episodes I’ve actually enjoyed (three: Sports Night, Third Watch, and Human Target, and even the latter didn’t really click until episode two). This isn’t Nikita‘s best episode and it shouldn’t have been expected to be.

Seems like Nikita is going under maintenance… Read what Ausiello have to say:

Exclusive: ‘Nikita’ getting a ‘slight tweak’
by Michael Ausiello
The CW is giving Nikita a chill pill.
Five episodes into its rookie season, the Maggie Q-fronted action drama is undergoing some routine maintenance. Specifically, The CW is looking to lighten the show’s somber mood and jack up its title character’s love life.
The goal? To boost viewership in the network’s sweet spot: young females. While Nikita is off to a solid start among total viewers, it’s losing a huge chunk of the core women 18-34 demo from its Vampire Diaries lead-in. Season-to-date, Nikita is maintaining 94 percent of Diaries‘ overall audience but is squandering an alarming 54 percent of the 18-34 crowd. This could be one reason why the net has yet to give the show a back-nine order. (Ironically, where Nikita is performing particularly well is among horny straight males over 40.)
“We’re really only talking about some slight tweaks,” maintains a source. “The core of Nikita will not change.”
Among said tweaks is the introduction of several new characters, including a confidant and potential love interest for Nikita who’s described as a clean-cut, all-American CIA case officer. “Moms want to marry off their daughters to this kid,” reads the casting notice. “But he’s too busy saving the world.”
Reps for The CW and Warner Bros. Television declined to comment for this story.
Thoughts? Do you agree that Nikita, while a solid show, could stand to cheer up? Sound off below!

And then Brittany at TvOvermind commented about this being good or bad for the show:

“Nikita” Ordered To Lighten Up
By Brittany Frederick
One of the concerns voiced by Nikita fans was that the dark spy show might end up getting a CW retooling to make it more like the other shows on the network. According to Entertainment Weekly, that concern is now a reality.
According to Michael Ausiello, “Specifically, The CW is looking to lighten the show’s somber mood and jack up its title character’s love life.”
Insert groaning from the show’s loyal viewer base now.
Of course, it all comes down to demographics; Ausiello says this change is motivated by the show’s inability to hold onto 18-to-34 year-old females, losing 54 percent of that audience when Vampire Diaries ends. As someone in that age demographic myself and watching it, I’m confused, but okay.
While a source in the article says it’s only “slight tweaks ahead,” I’m not sure I believe them. The show has already put out a casting notice for a new love interest for Nikita, one of several new characters the article says they’re looking for. The confidant and would-be beau is a CIA case officer. “Moms want to marry off their daughters to this kid,” the casting notice says.
I contacted my CW source, who wasn’t able to clarify the information in the EW article; The CW has made no official statement.
Personally, I think this is a disastrous move on the behalf of everyone involved, especially as the series is just now starting to find its legs. One of the things that fans (and critics) noted about Nikita was how its dark tone and grittier feel wasn’t like all the other CW shows, and how that was a great departure from the norm. I don’t want it to become, as fans have so perfectly already coined it, the spy version of Gossip Girl.
Furthermore, the show hasn’t yet developed all the regulars it already has (poor Ashton Holmes and Tiffany Hines are still waiting for storylines), so why add more when you haven’t yet handled all the ones you have? Not to mention that new characters will only take away from the screen time of the ones the fans are enjoying right now. Especially a new love interest for Nikita? I hear the people hoping for a Michael and Nikita romance (the one thing The CW already loves to tease us with) crying foul already. Network retooling usually never goes well, and I hope it doesn’t destroy a perfectly good series just because of some statistics.
Let me hear you, Nikita fans. Are you as filled with dread as I am?
