I am, too! I always liked her, and honestly I always kind of took her side. She didn't sign up for an absent husband or for essentially being a single mother 90% of the time. She married a lawyer who would always be home for dinner, and wouldn't be getting shot at or stabbed or leaving her for extended periods of time. She had every right to walk away, imo.

They really do. Which was also why Strauss was one of the highlights of this past week's episode (one of two, the other being Seaver's badassery). They finally characterized her as something other than the Stone Cold Female Boss trope.

(Pfffft off-topic away; we're still talking about female characters on the show who got shafted.)
