Amanda fascinated me from the first time she appeared onscteen.I'm. Binge watching this show....can't stop.....the actress playing Amanda is terrific.Melinda clatke. i think Amanda is the most interesting character in the series....when she's not in an episode i find that the episode is diminished.....yes, i know she's incredibly evil and sinister, yet there is more to her that meets the eye.i wonder what thoughts lie beneath those captivating eyes....
So that's why she became dark her dad pushed it too hard when you push your kid too far to the limit they will go crazy. Amanda is broken beyond repair. 😎💯
i agree, when i saw this scene and actually saw Amanda tearing up i felt bad, and i was completely shocked that the whole time Amanda was really Helen, amazing writing for her story!
was so suprised the first time i saw this episode and found out Helen i Amanda.. no winder she is messed up.. ironic that she grow´d up to be someone that tourers people.. Can´t wait for the two last episodes of Nikita so sad!
It's like her father was trying to I don't know make a soldier a better soldier than any f****** body on Earth. 🤔 That's possible I think the sister did tell authorities government they would definitely be separated from him but he won't get fully charged his star stripes. 👌😎
I think her sister did love her and not being able to accept that along with her own trauma and ultimately her own refusal to accept her guilt is what drove Amanda insane. Why else pretend to be the sister she claims to hate?
I find it annoying after finding out what happened to Amanda, Nikita still is mad at her for killing her family and didnt even feel that bad for her, reallly good episode though, a very sick Amanda storyline...Great performance by Maggie and Melinda.
This episode actually made me feel sorry for Amanda/Helen. I think that after having suffered for that long she was justified in killing her family. Practically her own sister and father made her since one tortured her and the other one didn't "care" about it. In my eyes they had all the rights to die...
Agree .after this I started seeing Amanda as a victim .. everyone abandoned her ... Percy, the hand, nikita,whom Amanda ceated, left division....if it wasn't for Percy and Amanda, nikita would be dead.... Micheal too.....and if there was no nikita, there would no alex.....so,in essence,Amanda and Percy were like parents to all of them....understanding this, in my opinion, nikitas crrusade was hypocritical.....and I started rooting for Amanda to win well knowing that nikita was the so called good guy of the show......
@@heyzeereeyI mean if someone like I said if they would have told the authorities what the father was doing maybe he will get charged I'm not so sure his stripes on his shirt saves him but she needs help. 🙏💯
Mercy is not in Amanda's vocab this what happened when you pushed your kids too hard. They become what you are but even worse they become cold dark evil damn Helen. 💯🙏
It’s better to binge tbh. I binged it on Netflix back in 2018 abt 4 times b4 Netflix got rid of it😢 it should have stayed forever just like the office b/c I took turns binging this and that.
Same. Amanda's messed up background doesn't justify the evil stuff she does but I couldn't believe Nikita's self-righteous attitude about killing them.
This scene was such a shock. The directors and producers did well with Amanda's background.
I know! The writing is really amazing! Realizing all the things she has been through is a LEGIT explanation for everything that she has done

i loved this story line..perfect explanation for Amanda's behaviour..thats what happens when you dont accept your past and learn how to live with it

Amanda is waaaay more twisted than "all those bitches put together...."
>:)
ikr
Yes I agree she's even more twisted than the mother from revenge and Regina from once upon a Time minus the magic. 💯
amazing script, backstory, and episode!

The true villain of this episode was Matthew Collins. He's the root reason why Amanda or rather Helen, is as messed up as she is.
Matthew is truly horrible, but Helen is responsible for her own actions. Don't remove her agency.

Madeleine killed her sister too in la femme nikita

Loved this show, shame I didn’t see it when it was on air

@@pyr1412so funny i came back 6 years later. I’m binge watching it for the 4th time too on Tubi! Nikita is probably my favorite show❤

yeah you are right but i just found it a little harsh that after all she found out about amanda she wasnt feeling sorry for what had happened.
In this Amanda childhood recalls, she has in her room the Madonna's "Who's That Girl" movie poster from 1987.
My fave episode
2:20 holy shit. That. Face.
I thought Amanda couldn't get any more terrifying than she already is... I was wrong.
Transference.
Wait is that alistair from supernatural?!
wow...this was creepy
