Somewhere on youtube, there's a piece that the local news did on her viewing, and it actually gets cuter when you see all her friends and family being giddy at her getting this gig. It's really adorable that they're so supportive. Honestly though, where the hell did she come from? I know she was the last one cast, but damn. Once again the casting department for 24 knocks it out of the park.
Oh and btw, here's something else to think about in terms of the Renee-Jack-Tony thread. Someone over at TWOP mentioned that Renee was like the Ghost of Christmas Past while Tony was the Ghost of Christmas Future. I thought that was amusing.
I really can't wait until tonight though. From the previews, I realize now that the "When are you guys going to realize that nobody else is playing by your rules? / "The rules make us better." conversation is going to go down in this episode. I think that is why I'm good with the new characters that were added this season. The writers are really doing an excellent job showing us the different points of view to evaluate the question of honor and morality this season and I think that without Larry and Renee, we couldn't get that dialogue really going if it were just Jack, Tony, Bill and Chloe.
Because it really is an interesting question. What happens when the rules change and you realize that "There is no such thing as honor anymore" but you know that "the rules make us better"? I was thinking last night about how the rules of warfare changed in the Revolutionary War, and again World War II and in the Vietnam War and now with the Iraq Wars. When the rules change because people aren't adhering to them, do you change with it or do you draw a line and say, "No, I won't cross this line." It's funny because Jack's comment about the "two worlds" is one possibility that allows for both to exist (and we really have been playing in that possibility for the last 5 seasons), but what I'm really loving about S7 is that it is the convergence of those two worlds.

Also, I need a Renee icon.
