When Angels Cry

So? earnmysong posed this question in her journal:

Which death/departure from a TV show, movie, or book stuck with you the most? Why? Was it an appropriate exit for the character? Was there ever a death/departure you wish had been handled differently?I knew I was going to go overboard and get ridiculous, because really, who wouldn't want to spend a lovely

I refuse to watch any of those soap clips. Because they are all dirty pool. (Also, I watched a soap death yesterday and was sniffling like mad, and don't want to be ugly crying for the rest of the night.)

God, Cordy. I never watched Angel the way that I meant to, but ugh. God that's a good scene.

A new soap death or an 'oldie-but-goodie'?

Did you never watch the full series of Angel?

Cassie Newman, Y&R. Kids dying is the worst.

Nope! I've never seen all of Buffy either. I should do true fandom confessions some time. I imagine that one would blow a lot of people's minds.

I'm pretty surprised! You think you'll ever just sit down and bang them out, or is it just past the point, and you have no interest?

True story? I recently did a re-watch of DQMW for the first time since the series originally aired and, hand to the gods, had completely repressed Ingrid's death. As in, I remembered the character and I remembered it didn't work out with her and Matthew somehow, but completely repressed the horrific nature of her death. And I couldn't figure out why it was so brutal, but I think you're right - I think she seriously pissed somebody off. Because nobody deserves that.

And I can't even think about your GH list. It's too much...

It had no context with the rest of the show, right? Just, like, here is an AWFUL death for one of the young characters, ripping the whole family apart, and it will never be the same again.
