Actually I think we're on the same page. I don't want a reaction shot to show that she's conflicted. I want a reaction shot of Renee to show how she's *not*
We got 2 tiny shots of her and that's about it. I'm nitpicking of course, but I would have preferred to see a split screen tracking her and, if possible, the agents around her because their new boss basically let Jack torture the guy. Are they onboard with her? Do they disagree? Are they all pissed off because these guys are responsible not only for Larry's death but their own coworkers, what with the apartment blowing up. Or are they like Larry and hate the idea of it? It would have been interesting to see, especially since that the medic here is the same medic that Jack stopped from treating Dubaku (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0697679/) in 7x10.
Maybe it would have been too much. I dunno. But it would have a very subtle way to show more complexity and continue the thread of debate without writing it in the dialogue. TV is a visual medium and they could have continued that thread by amping up the emotion (or lack thereof) simply by using a split screen. You can do so much with just a few seconds. It's all in the editing.
