Oh, just…

… Rewatching Nikita again and finally fully understanding in s1 the degree to which Percy really fucking just used Michael and Birkhoff's friendship as a tool/weapon and being filled with murderous rage.

#Nikita (2010)#Nikita #I will give an earful to anyone who tries to claim that Birkhoff was closer to either Nikita or Michael than to the other #those three and Alex were the og #they BOTH immediately forget the money when he's in danger #and he very clearly cares about and tries to look after both of them #those four have an unrivalled bond and are absolutely the core found family of the team #but to the point of the post…#Percy could have had anyone bring up Sparrow #But he has Birkhoff do it bc Michael will definitely trust him #sure those two snark at each other but Michael trusted him to keep things from Percy #he always goes to Birkhoff to look into things relaxes a bit when teasing him #meanwhile Birkhoff is mouthy but their interaction when he's tied to the rocking horse implies familiarity #he helps Michael out and also tries to comfort him about Nikita (absolutely think that was the only reason he went to the gun range)#Birkhoff tried to cover for both of them about sneaking into Percy's office and Michael decided to take the full responsibility #like they bicker sure but it's more brotherly than actually malicious and they're def more familiar than some of the other agents #Michael will believe Birkhoff and Birkhoff would never suspect Michael of going double agent so it will seem natural #like I'm a little tired atm so I'm losing my train of thought but like #I absolutely think that being used to manipulate his friend and having that friendship fractured by Percy contributed to Birkhoff turning #like yes they rebuild that trust but it pisses me off that Percy would use it like that #which I'm sure is the point to show off how much of an indifferent arsehole he is #but like that's why Michael's so pissed off when he thinks Birkhoff was in on it #and I think Birkhoff's insulted that he thinks he was #and about Nikita #I'm too many tags in at this point that it's already another post #but I also have a whole analysis over how I think Birkhoff could weather losing either Nikita or Michael but not BOTH #Like not that he wants to but I think that's a little why he's so upset there is he thinks Nikita's dead and Michael's probably going to be #both the people he kinda likes to the same thing #anyway there's too many tags here the point is Percy's a douche #Things You Didn't Know Fire was Into
