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 watch NCIS anymore (because of how they started going to crap after Ziva showed up), but did they kill her off?! Please?

I didn't actually watch the whole episode (not enough alcohol in the world for that) but yes, she was killed off screen and then her death was used to propel the plot along to where tptb wanted it to go.

Ah.
So stupid. Can't they think of, oh, I don't know, actual storyline?

Probably, but that would have required not only effort, but talent as well and.....

Oh, that pesky talent requirement...
