Rene coldly and sociopathically sawing off that Russian guy's hand in a vice...blood spurting all over the place...WTF! She had me so turned on before that, too, with the hot and sultry act. Maybe the greatest scene in the show's history.
I cannot tolerate the hot, blond bimbo at CTU. Worst actress ever, and her storyline is brutally boring. The "peace process" crap, the "affair" with the reporter, Jack's family going to California, the revamped CTU with the cocky new staff, the tired Russian/Islamic angle...meh to it all. In fact, the entire show seems so played, so unconvincing, I can barely drum up any interest.
As far as I'm concerned, this season is Rene, Rene, Rene...she and Jack are the entire the show, and the rest is just filler. She is the best female character they've had since Nina, and I just pray that they don't kill her off.
