I'm a bit tired of the series unnecessarily killing good characters. I like the 'no one is safe except Jack' premise, but they've already more than proved their point. I don't know if the writers are doing this for shock value or they're too cheap to negotiate new contracts but DAMN! Did Jack actually have to kill Curtis? It could have easily been a non-fatal shot that put him out for a few episodes or even the entire season, but NOOO they have to kill him off. I'm not so much upset that Curtis was a good character that's no more, but that when you continue to be 'cutting edge' it gets a bit tiresome.

Yes, he did need to kill him. It was for the advancement of Jack's character. I agree will Rock about how the lead ups are leaking tension and surprise, but the one of the few things this season is shaping up to do spectacularly is push his character beyond the breaking point. Regarding themes covered and Jack's character, the first four hours have laid some very decent ground work for the rest of the season.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
