Peta was in a few movies I believe..."League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" for one. I thought she was very good as Nikita, displayed a lot of believable emotion and kicked ass with the best. Roy Dupuis was one of a kind as Michael...this was a show before it's time but at least being on USA gave it a little freedom...we would have never seen Peta and Roy's butts on network TV. They had planned a spinoff (the episode with the young recruits that Nikita and Michael had to train) but USA cancelled after season four...fan support is credited with them doing a season five (8 episodes). Despite a couple issue I have (ie: Operations within a second of cancelling Berkhoff in one episode and mourning his loss the very next episode for example), I think the writers were great...edgy stuff with all sorts of moral issues woven into story lines that had more twists and turns than anything on tv. No doubt about it though...Peta Wilson is 10x sexier than Jenifer Garner!

Oh yeah, she was in Superman Returns too!

There's something about Australian and New Zealand actresses...Peta and Lucy Lawless for examples!

If you haven't, you should get the DVD's and watch it through....as you know, I prefer fantasy as a genre but LFN is my highest ranked non-fantasy show by far! It really is a shame that it didn't go a few more years, there was/is nothing quite like it on tv.
