Between that and them reordering the shows- there's absolutely no emotional involvement with those characters at all anymore.

Preach it. I could take her whiny bull**** when she had a good reason to be whiny and mopey, like when all that **** was going down with her mother and her father. But now? It's just cloying. Her character is stagnant and it makes the show dull.
If they really want to jolt some life into the show:
BRING WILL BACK, GODDAMMIT.

Sonia Braga's going to be on, though, I think this week- I have no idea who she'll be playing (although I think she'd make a kickass Derevko), but I'm hoping it's good.

I'll pass. I've hated the whole sister **** ever since last season. I instantly disliked it. It completely f*cks up the family dynamic between Irina, Syd, and Jack. You know,
the thing that people tune in to watch. It has not made me a happy camper in the least.

I pray she comes back. It hasn't been the same since season two, but now it's really in the gutter. Olin's presence alone would make it top notch.
