After an episode-long quest to obtain evidence of Russian involvement in the day&#8217;s terrorist plot from Walsh, who had been operating as a mole for the Russians within CTU, Bauer finally cornered Walsh.  Left without an escape route, Walsh forfeited the evidence and begged for mercy, asking if there was anything she could do.<\/p>\n<p>Bauer sternly rejected her call for clemency and shot her dead.<\/p>\n<p>The Walsh character had been frequently panned throughout the season&#8211;first, for an overbearing side plot in which an ex-boyfriend extorted her into using CTU resources to help him commit a robbery and then for the seemingly ludicrous reveal that she had been embedded in CTU by the evil Russian contingent.  Suffice it to say, her elimination ahead of the series&#8217; final few episodes was hardly a tragedy.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left;margin-right:5px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=katee sackhoff&#038;iid=7545285\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/f\/e\/d\/e\/Premiere_Screening_For_0cfd.jpg?adImageId=12739693&#038;imageId=7545285\" width=\"234\" height=\"367\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"Premiere Screening For Season Eight Of 24 \"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pis.picapp.com\/IamProd\/PicAppPIS\/JavaScript\/PisV4.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Speaking to EW&#8217;s Michael Auseillo, Sackhoff weighed in on criticism regarding the character:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn\u2019t realize that,&#8221; explained Sackhoff.  &#8220;I don\u2019t care. I played a character [Starbuck on &#8220;Battlestar Galactica&#8221;] who was hated from the very beginning just because she was a woman, so I learned a long time ago not to read [fan feedback]. It\u2019s counterproductive to doing your job&#8230;I respect the fans and I respect their opinions but it\u2019s sad that they\u2019re not happy when it\u2019s the last season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of the dramatic death, she added that she feels no sympathy for the Walsh character.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;None whatsoever,&#8221; noted an unsympathetic Sackhoff.  &#8220;She doesn\u2019t have one redeeming quality. I tried desperately to give her a redeeming quality. I really tried. The only thing I could come up with was that she didn\u2019t crack when she was tortured.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;24&quot; Kills Off Dana Walsh, Katee Sackhoff Responds to Criticism<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This week&#039;s &quot;24&quot; served up yet another dramatic death, but unlike the recent eliminations of Omar Hassan and Renee Walker, this week&#039;s execution was\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/05\/04\/24-kills-off-dana-walsh-katee-sackhoff-responds-to-criticism\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"&quot;24&quot; Kills Off Dana Walsh, Katee Sackhoff Responds to Criticism\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This week&#039;s &quot;24&quot; served up yet another dramatic death, but unlike the recent eliminations of Omar Hassan and Renee Walker, this week&#039;s execution was\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/05\/04\/24-kills-off-dana-walsh-katee-sackhoff-responds-to-criticism\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-05-04T06:13:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/f\/e\/d\/e\/Premiere_Screening_For_0cfd.jpg?adImageId=12739693&imageId=7545285\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/05\/04\/24-kills-off-dana-walsh-katee-sackhoff-responds-to-criticism\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/05\/04\/24-kills-off-dana-walsh-katee-sackhoff-responds-to-criticism\/\",\"name\":\"\\\"24\\\" Kills Off Dana Walsh, Katee Sackhoff Responds to Criticism\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2010-05-04T06:13:44+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2010-05-04T06:13:44+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"This week's \\\"24\\\" served up yet another dramatic death, but unlike the recent eliminations of Omar Hassan and Renee Walker, this week's execution was\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/05\/04\/24-kills-off-dana-walsh-katee-sackhoff-responds-to-criticism\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
