Fuck.
“We don’t murder people on our show, but for there to be any stakes, there have to be consequences,” says creator Matthew Weiner, a former Sopranos scribe who has killed at will. Losing Bryan, he says, “was a tough moment for the show, but that’s where we are. I know how people felt about Bryan. I obviously love working with him, and he has been an indelible character since the pilot. But I felt it was an expression of the times that he couldn’t work there anymore. It’s the ultimate case of sexual harassment.”
NO MORE SAL ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME????
Stupid fucking show. This pisses me more than words can say. He's my favorite character and the way he went out is so bullshit. I mean, if anyone other than Don knew, I'd understand more but it's DON whose backstory is soooooooooo much worse. If you ask me, Sal needs to find out and blackmail the shit out of him. And just Matthew Weiner taking him out now when we haven't even gotten to Stonewall yet (and if he's not back for that I will kill Weiner) makes me so angry. We've barely scratched the surface of Sal.
Why do we always have to lose the gay characters? Why??? I would totally lose the kissing and such from 301 if I got to have Sal back, no question. I am so angry and sad right now, I can't even. Fucking TV writers. If the show wasn't so good I'd quit it but I don't think I can do that. But I doubt I'll ever be able to enjoy it again. If they're going to get rid of anyone why not Pete, why not the slimy asshole?
Expression of the times huh? I think what Weiner is doing is an expression of the times. Stupid fucking world.
