Kill 'em all...

From fannish5: Name five characters who should die, or should have died sooner.

This one is fun!

From Heroes: Maya. The one who cries and runs and runs and cries all the time. What a drip. Yeah, she did die - I know. Then they brought her back. Sylar - shoot her again? Please? And make it stick this time?

From Smallville: Lana Lang. When I first saw ( Read more... )

My, you are sounding ... bloodthirsty lately.

Have you watched too much _Pirates of the Caribbean_ (even if it does have Barrowman, IIRC)?

Hee. I didn't set the topic! Maybe I saw it as a chance to express my inner savage.

Surely you jest. That would be an oxymoron, and quite impossible.

(even if it does have Barrowman, IIRC)?

Alas, no. I think you are confusing one Captain Jack with another. Captain Jack Sparrow is the hero in Pirates of the Caribbean, played by the ever-beautiful Johnny Depp. Captain Jack Harkness is the hero in Torchwood, played by the ever-beautiful John Barrowman.

There are other Captain Jacks around, but none so important.

You are totally not alone in that.

Yes - it started out interesting. And then? Not so much. What a disappointment.

#3: Definitely. Jack can't die too often -- he does it so well.

#5: Also agree. I started losing interest in Lost about the time it became evident Ben was completely omniscient -- no matter what strategy the Losties tried, they always ended up playing into Ben's hands. The wheels-within-wheels stuff was strung out endlessly to milk the thin writing and it just got so boring.

He does. That was such a shock to me, in "Everything Changes", when he was shot and came back - I was totally not expecting it. And every time since, it wrenches me.

As for Lost - it's a good point about Ben being omniscient. I began to fell they were just spinning wheels, pretending to advance the story - pretending to have a story - and really having nothing much there at all.
