In fairness to Kim, she's been much better this season. She's not the most intriguing character in the show, but at least she's not just purposely seeking out stupid trouble, like last season's totally unnecessary run-away-into-unfamiliar-woods routine.

Bill, I agree Sherry is more interesting as an actual person, but Nina was an evil force of nature. Thanks Steven! I can never get too down on Kim because she looks a lot like my daughter and is about the same age. I like the father-daughter relationship between she and Jack. He needs her as much as she needs him.

By the way, the pic of Clarke above is a still from the VW Jetta commercial called "Synchronicity," where a couple drive down a city street listening to a song in which every beat seems to coincide with the actions of the people they pass. Cool.

Actually, what I thought I yelled was, "Jack, you fool! Empty your gun into her face, toss her corpse out the window, light her on fire, piss on her, then take a squat on her face."

Personally, I've liked Sherry more as a villainess on this show than Nina. Where the latter comes across as just a conscienceless mercenary, Sherry Palmer always has a layer of rationalization (she's doing it "for David"!) for every action - and you know she half believes her crap. Makes her much more interesting as a character. . .

But the bitch was dead - FINALLY.

...or so they'd have us believe.

Great description of Nina and the Nina Plot. Only real difference for me was at the end, I was yelling something a little less kind at the screen: "PLEASE KILL KIM AND PUT US OUT OF OUR MISERY!"
