And sending her out at the close of her story with HR seems better than just taking a random bullet from some jerk or conspirator,
This is actually very true.
And despite my anger (and disappointment) at her being dead, I really cannot say it enough: the fact that she had such a great run, with so much complex plot and characterization moments is just amazing. And not just in this half-season. I've always felt they gave her a great depth and attention (moreso than Fusco, after his first couple eps and the occasional HR stuff).
That sort of thing is just too rare on tv for female characters, which is probably why her death is so disappointing.
The good news? It does mean I still have a great deal of hope for the continuing Root and Shaw story-lines. Both of them are more than caricatures, and while they may not last, at least they're there, on the screen.
(let's be honest, POI is nowhere near as anger-inducing as Haven, and I'm still watching that--Haven doesn't actually CARE about its female characters. POI may not either, but at least it gives them equal narrative weight in their own damned story-lines.)
