Annie Wersching...my new favorite person




The season 8 promo shot of Annie Wersching who plays Agent Renee Walker on 24 (or just Renee Walker now as she's no longer an FBI agent.) We are introduced to Renee in season 7 as an FBI agent who pretty much goes by the book until she meets Jack Bauer, who takes her under his wing as they try to save the world. At first hesitant at going against protocol (because we all know Jack is not the kind of guy who does things the way the powers that be want him to do things)and by the end of the season she was a pro.

Renee & Jack strike up a friendship but their relationship SHOULD have gone further but didn't. :( I was rooting for them to kiss but alas my wishes were not granted. Annie & Kiefer (Sutherland) have such amazing chemistry with each other that the moments that their characters (Renee & Jack) have together are just so believable and emotional and as Brennan in the show Bones would say - 'heartcrushing'. Especially in their first encounter in episode 4 of the 4 hour season premiere of this season.

We learn that Renee had a breakdown after last season and has been let go (or she left) the FBI and has gone through some emotional stuff. And by the end of the 4 hour season premiere of season 8 we learn that Renee has become one badass woman! And I am LOVING the new 'dark Renee'. Oh man. Annie Wersching is phenomenal and brings her character so much depth and believablity.

She has become one of the people I absolutely NEED to meet! What.A.Woman!

I think I missed them saying how much time elapsed between seasons 7 and 8. I'm pretty sure I read an interview with Annie saying she wants Renee and Jack to hook up! Hopefully our wishes will be granted.
