My January post Incomplete and Not so Brief Report on Briefs was much more representative of my blog's theme - on the subject the many brands of full brief panties which I love to buy, wear, review and male model both on my blogs and in my YouTube uploads on Mister Panty Buns's Channel.
The ALL NEW Nikita Episode 2x19 "Wrath" airs Friday April 20th, 2012 at 8 PM EDT/7c on CW TV. We will be trying to trend #RenewNikita on Twitter at 7 PM Eastern time and if it doesn't trend we will be adding "Wrath of Nikitaverse" to our tweets starting at 7:30 PM EDT/4:30PM Pacific.
The trend idea submissions, trend vote list, and tallies were the work of Julie @CW_posts_early on her trending account @KickassNikita. The winning trend idea was submitted by @nikitaobsession and I blabbed it all over the place via my Twitter @Panty_Buns and YouTube account Mister Panty Buns's Channel.
Here is the written synopsis from CW TV:
"When Nikita (Maggie Q) worked for Division, she targeted a man named Nicholas Brandt (guest star Rick Ravanello) and infiltrated his inner circle. She captured him and he's been behind bars ever since. However, Percy (Xander Berkeley) springs Brant, and his first mission is to capture Nikita for payback. After he has her in his clutches, he tortures her, forcing Nikita to face a side of herself she thought she had long buried. Meanwhile, Percy continues to play mind games with Michael (Shane West), Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) and Sean (Dillon Casey), pushing one of them to the brink of death. Aaron Stanford also stars. Jeffrey Hunt directed the episode written by Albert Kim."

Notes: The current TV series Nikita was preceded by Luc Besson's 1990 film Nikita also known as La Femme Nikita, the 1993 film "Point of No Return" starring Bridget Fonda and the earlier TV series "La Femme Nikita" broadcast as Nikita in Canada. That Nikita series starred Peta Wilson as Nikita.
Some of the actors and actresses who play (or played) characters of the current TV series Nikita are (as listed in alphabetical order by first name under "LABELS" (tags) at the bottom of both my both posts so far about the TV series Nikita.

During the course of watching past Nikita episodes innumerable times I realized that there is more than ample material (a lot of really ludicrous stuff) for one or more feature length spoofs of Nikita. It's too bad Leslie Nielsen isn't still with us. He'd be fantastic as a bumbling Percy.
I have been lucky enough to enjoy having some of Nikita's cast members reply to me or retweet me as well as reading their tweets:
For more reading on Nikita see my previous post: HELP SAVE NIKITA! We Need Nikita Season 3!
You can watch Nikita on Fridays at 8 PM EDT/7c. If you have a Twitter account and want to help with World Wide Nikita trends they start Fridays at 7PM Eastern / 6 Central / 4 PM Pacific time.
UPDATE: NIKITA HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR 22 EPISODES OF A SEASON 3
On Friday May 11th just as we had been finishing preparations to do a Twitter trend including the words "Renew Nikita" producer Craig Silverstein tweeted an earth-shattering BOMBSHELL OF A NEWS RELEASE via a Tweet on his Twitter account @sesfonstein!
Craig Silverstein"Um, don't know if y'all are interested but Nikita season 3 is ON!!!"
MaggieQ: "Holy SHIT! Thank u Nikita supporters! We DID it!" Here are the pics of the Tweets:
Needless to say the trend idea "Renew Nikita had to be changed. Last Minute we picked "NIKITAAA Renewed"
Enjoy Season 3 of Nikita, Nikitaverse!
The renewal of Nikita for Season 3 changes everything. This post will be updated in the future (hopefully soon). I will add some postscripts, may do a new Nikita post or may even start a new blog devoted to Nikita. The writing is already underway.
In the meantime I should have been be summoning my nerve and thinking of what to do, blog, post and Tweet about for Friday May 4th, "No Pants Day" - here on this blog, on my Twitter @Panty_Buns and if I'm brave enough to participate (I'm such a scaredy cat) post a video to my YouTube Channel.
Update: Find out what did and didn't happen - I've done a post titled Click here to read the post I wrote on No Pants Day - May 4th, 2012.
