> [@Ronald\_C.Semone](#): > > The character I most feel sorry for in all the years of this show is the middle-aged woman with a young boy that Jack was living with in Mexico when he was hiding out. They seemed to have a genuine relationship and I felt bad when he unceremoniously dumped her to go back to CTU. I’d like him to end up with her. He seemed to have a good thing going with that girl who had the crazy sister too. ---

> [@RikWriter](#): > > Killing Renee was a mistake, plot wise. We’ve been there, done that. It actually makes me less interested in the rest of the season instead of more. Agreed. The bloodthirsty nature of the 24 writers is, IMO, why the show has gone downhill. Nina, Palmer, Michelle, Tony (fakeout!), Curtis, Milo, Renee, basically anybody halfway interesting has just been unceremoniously dumped. Only to be replaced by lame jackasses like Logan and a revolving door of always boring Russian spies. Making Chloe the head of CTU is pure fan-service gold though. I loved that. If this weren’t the last season I think I’d be done. As it is, my personal view of 24 has the show end after season 4. DAMMIT! ---

I finally got to watch the ep last night. All I can say is, DAMN IT! Thou shalt not kill off Agent Rawr! I hope the extended scene with Jack expressing his disappointment to the sniper for his chosen life path is included in the DVD extras.
