Which character did you enjoy more on the show? I loved Dana Walsh this season, and I think she's part of why this season turned out so good (after a few boring episodes), but I think Nina Meyers will always be my favorite villain and traitor on "24". And the episode where she calls the terrorist to inform him President Palmer is still alive is, for me, one of "24" 's most shocking. What do you think?

here rockworm!!!

everytime i come on here i see you shooting down other people for having an opinion that you dont believe in, you dont need to respond to every single post on here

and just coz you think dana walsh was the worst character ever, doesnt mean everyone else does

get a life

To be fair to mikeleslie10, Rockworm5039 you do seem to respond to ever thread with the attitude that you know more about the show than anyone else therefore whatever you say is right and anyone who disagrees with you is wrong.

I thought Nina was the better of the two just because it was so personal for Jack, but Dana was the best mole since Nina (which is something, given the pool of moles we have to choose from, haha) for one specific reason.

I was riveted to the episode where she blasted her way out of CTU...I remember at the time thinking yes, thank you, after so many moles just rolling over and going okay, you got me, bring on the cuffs, she was proactive enough to do something about it. I think a lot of the previous moles were more of an information leak than anything else, Dana and Nina had the angle of feeling like an actual enemy agent.

Nina was the more deadly enemy. I thought they were both horrible, as deep cover moles are supposed to be. At least it only took one season for Jack to cap Dana Walsh. It took three years to get rid of Nina. I said, 'finally that ykw is dead!' But I should talk. On Fox.com, you could match your psych profile with a character from 24. I matched Nina Meyers. Ouch!

Regardless of the kindness or lackthereof in the posts in here, I think it's clear to most fans of the show that Nina and Season 1 as a whole trump S8 and Dana by..well, a landslide.

The fact that Dana was the 900th mole on the show, we were all hoping they'd avoid the mole story completely in s8, and that she had these stupid sideplots of milton from office space and robbing a bank with a drunk, didn't help her cause.

s8 wasn't a bad season, but the dana story, & Kim hostage at the airport..were too similar to the typical 24 plots to me.

I don't know if he's to blame, but I want to blame Chip J. Look what he did with season 5 of dexter. Quinn=Doakes2.0 & Lumen=Lila2.0. Slight differences aside, I'd guess that's why Dexter canned him for s6.

Of course Nina is the better mole. She had longevity for one thing, I mean she lasted for three seasons! Nina and Dana were good in their own rights. Nina was more of the intellectual mole which was what made her so dangerous. Dana was completely insane (I mean did you see that demonic look she had when they caught her?). Dana's insanity while proving to be her greatest asset because she was able to fool everyone (even me) when she turned out to be a mole, but it ultimately proved to be her downfall because she just didn't seem to know when to quit when she was ahead. Had it not been for the fact that Jack was on a total bloodlust kill mode at the time, she might have been able to escape. But I've always wondered if the reason Dana was made a mole was because the writers found out that this was the last season and decided to change things up in order to create some plot twists to throw us off our rockers. I mean their were no hints at ALL when it came to her switching.
