Egads, they killed off whatshisname!

Continuing the lazy (I mean, *ahem* surprising and powerful) writing of TV these days four characters were killed off on shows I watched Monday and Tuesday. Is it sad that I'm only surprised that there were characters killed in only 3 of the 5 shows?

Of the deaths, the best (least awful?) written one was sadly completely unsurprising and I had assumed was coming. One death was off screen and poorly done, one a *sigh you have to be kidding me* kind of thing (although, I guess it's possible the person isn't dead) and the last had a totally ridiculous deathbed confession addition to it that went entirely against previously established canon.

The deaths happened in The Flash, NCIS and Blindspot (2 deaths).

*sigh*

I don't even watch NCIS and I was kind of annoyed at hearing about them killing that character off-screen.

Sadly, "The Flash" death was completely unsurprising, but really unfortunate.

Like rabecka said, I get into shows for characters. For me, it doesn't matter how well-written a show is, as soon as a bunch of characters start departing my interest wanes significantly.

Flash's death was just so... expected, I guess is the right word? Which is kind of sad.

Very. I wish they had been more creative.
