Huh, that's a toughie.

It's not Kate. I liked her just fine, but her uppity, holier-than-thou attitude (and some of the banter with Tony that just went way too far) made me not really care for her character either way. In a way, I was even glad she was gone (would've preferred if she hadn't been killed though). Then again, we got Ziva instead, so...yeah.

It's not Paula. I really liked Paula and her death was heroic, but she wasn't such an integral part of the show that I really missed her after she was gone.

It's not Shannon and Kelly. Even though their deaths obviously affected Gibbs in the worst way, and we got some interesting episodes and story lines out of it (not to mention the fact that we were allowed to watch MH acting the living daylights out of those scripts), I'm just not personally saddened.

I was sad to see Ari Haswari gone. He was an awesome character, and so wonderfully sinister. Plus, the way he was killed was just...ARGH.

I was also sad to see Jeffrey White gone. I liked the little weasel. *g* Plus, Tony had to kill him, and it affected him badly. *pets Tony*

I was really sad to see Michelle Lee gone. I hated the way her character was made to be the "bad guy" though at least she was clearly in over her head and so she couldn't help it (for lack of a better word). The way she gave Gibbs permission to shoot her, and then Gibbs dealing with Michelle's daughter... *sniffles*

(As a side note, I was also very saddened that Ma Mallard died. We all knew that the actress had passed away already, but the way her "real" death was dealt with was very classy, I thought.)
