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*

That offscreen death kind of had to happen that way, though, as apparently the actress and TPTB both had this kind of Taylor Swift "never ever ever getting back together" thing going on. :D And honestly? I'd SO MUCH rather her off-screen death than her off-screen reunion and theoretical happy future relationship with the Very Special Agent. That would have been even worse.

Ok, true. It was still a pathetic death though. (And there were about 80 million other ways to have Tony go off into the sunset)

I'm hoping there will be EPIC amounts of fix-it fic.

Probably! I kind of wish I cared enough to look for it.

Right now, I wish I DIDN'T. I'm still hoping this particular fixation will wear off as quickly as it came on.

I totally understand that feeling and wish you a speedy recovery to notcaringland.
