This whole show needs to take a good look at itself in the mirror, and acknowledge its moral depravity/confusion. T he annoying thing is when they ignore it. They need to make their characters face up to their actions more, for longer than one or two scenes of one episode, and they need to openly discuss the issue with each other. The writers have done this a little in the past, but not nearly enough.

I don't know that they have to "fix" the characters though, because this moral ambiguity seems inevitable when you try to make a morally complex show that tries to look beyond the black and white. You're bound to get some funky answers that people will disagree on. And maybe that's a good thing, if it sparks discussion and leads to a more interesting show.

The thing is, they have to stop somewhere. Some questions can't be answered, at least not easily. If they continually tried to make the characters question their goodness/ability to be redeemed, or whatever, then we would have even more circuitous character arcs.
