Oh, I totally get that for many vocal fans it was "all really about Michael" (tm) - but for me, Nikita centric that I am - what it affected was how I see Paul. I have my own take on Michael that isn't as touched by fanon, I think because it isn't oppositional so much as just wildly different.

I have no real idea why - because as you point out - many of the same people that didn't care for Nikita - *also* didn't care for Paul and often cast him as a bumbling villian. I think, perhaps, it is because in many ways Paul and Nikita are very similar, other than the sense of humor thing. ;-)

Paul though - more or less, especially in fan commentary rather than fic - tended to be seen as at least competant, if coldhearted and ruthless (though hardly logical - someone called him that in the last ep I watched and, um hello?), where Nikita was not.

Like I said - it's more my DOMish perception of the whole of commentary, essays, offhand remarks, and fic rather than any one particular person/ POV that I think I'm reacting too.
