Robocop must DIE!

Yup I said it, but Robocop has to die.  Now you may be wondering what the hell I'm talking about so let me explain.  The actor who played Robocop in the first two films, Peter Weller, is in the new season of the show 24.  In the show Mr. Weller plays a character named Henderson.  Henderson is responsible for recruiting Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) into the agency.  To get to the point Henderson has become a bad guy and has something to do with a terroist attack involving nerve gas.  Jack then brings Henderson to C.T.U for interrogation.  In last nights espisode Henderson killed Tony Almeida who was played by Carlos Bernard.  Tony was one of the original characters from season 1 and it was a shock to see him die.

Tony was an awesome character but wasn't in the new season that much.  In the first episode his wife is killed in a car bomb and he is then injured from a second explosion while holding her dead body.  One thing that bothered me was how Tony died.  Tony was about to kill Henderson since he held him responsible for the death of his wife.  Tony decides not to go through with it but then Henderson snaps out of his chemically induced coma and stabs Tony.  Now this shows two intersting things, one is that Henderson is even harder than Jack in terms of how much of a badass he is and secondly it shows that Henderson is a ruthless jackass.

A reason that I liked Tony as a character is because he just acted cool and was second next to Jack in terms of being a badass.  Another reason is that actor Carlos Bernard is from my hometown of Chicago.  An intersting thing is that Mr. Bernard was able to sneak in a Chicago Cubs coffee mug into some scenes including a scene in the first episode of this season. 

Watching Tony die last night actually made me sad and really mad.  I've never gotten so upset over a show before.  I will still watch 24, but if they kill off Curtis then I'm going to be really pissed.  There is only one solution for what happened and that is for Jack to kill Henderson in a very brutal way such as a beheading.  I don't want Jack to just shoot Henderson, he has to pay for what he has done.  Simply put, Robocop has to die.

On a side note the actor playing the man who was torturing Henderson also plays the character Keller in the game Black.
