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*

Ha! You did not forget the name of RayV's dad...in canon they only ever call him "Pa Vecchio".

And oh ghost!Martha Fraser! It makes me chortle when Benton says to Bob "how is she?" and Bob says "Not dead enough, son!"

Ooh awesome icon!!

Poor Vecchio, I can't believe they never named his dad.

(I LOVE that 'not dead enough, son' exchange. Also the little glimpse we get of her in the end, checking on him.)
