Bob: I think for a TV writer one key is to be able to adapt your own style to many different shows. Versatility. As far as the success of the show, I think everything just came together - the story, the actors, it jelled.

Leeja1: Will we find out what Walter's last name is and how he ended up in Section One? We know the personal histories of everyone else, but nothing on Walter.

Bob: You'll learn a little more about Walter's past, but not really the things that the question asked about.

Roy 4 Me: I don't know if this question can be answered by you, but I've got to try it since SO many have wondered. Why is Roy only going to appear in a couple episodes? Was that what he wanted? And do you know of any upcoming projects he will be appearing in? This show has been superb!

Joel: Thank you. I don't know if Roy has decided what he wants to do next. We are fortunate to have gotten Roy for the episodes we did.

Zike1: Do you, as a collective writing team of “Nikita,” have plans regarding future projects together? I think all the writers of this show have been so great. I just wondered if you have talked of doing something else together in the future. Thank you for everything - it's been fantastic.

Bob: Yeah, we (Joel and I) have a project at Fox together which we have high hopes for.

Painted Cayuse: Which character(s) is/are the hardest and/or the easiest to write for? I would imagine that you've developed a sense for what a particular character would do or say in a given scene. But are some of them more or less of a challenge?

Bob: I always enjoy writing for Michael because he says the fewest words, so that means I have to write the fewest words.

Joel: Ditto.

Valencia M2K04: Hi, guys! Will we see Adrian in this 8 episode arc? And will either of you be at CQS4? Please?

Bob: We don't see Adrian in Season 5 and we won't be at the convention.

Allegra37: Roy and Peta have extraordinary chemistry. Watching them together has been a big part of what has kept me coming back for more each week. Will you give us closure on their relationship when the series ends? It will be painfully frustrating to be left hanging. Thanks for a great ride!

Joel: You won't be frustrated by the time this season is over.

Abeyance OpM5: When laying out the story line (and in terms of the episodes), when was it decided that George had a boss and that Nick/Mr. Jones was his boss?

Bob: I don't remember exactly when, but generally when we thought we had played out the story line that involved George and needed to go up a level or notch in order to add layers to the show both figureatively and literally.

Room 412: About a year ago a colleague of mine auditioned for the part of Nikita's sister for a spinoff of “LFN.” What happened to it? Was the idea completely scrapped or can we expect to be allowed at least a little of a weekly “Nikita” fix?

Bob: To my knowledge, there's no spinoff planned.

Adaknm: First, “LFN” is my favorite show. Several of my friends, and now even my husband, are hooked on this show. Is Walter Operation's brother, or Nikita's father? Is Walter Michael's father?
