The crap they said at SDCC about why they did what they did just made me angry and want to cry (not out of anger, but man did they really pull at mine and a lot of people’s heartstrings). And they also didn’t bring him back for a farewell!

How the only thing we all have in common is that at the end of the panel, we are all one hour closer to death. It’s inevitable and a part of life. They’ve always written about real topics on the show, and since death is one of those things, they had to do it.

They explained that [Spoiler (click to open)]Q wasn’t able to advocate for himself in the beginning and grew to advocate for himself AND his friends in the end, and... I guess it made them pick him to be the one they offed? Due to his development? They didn’t even address how they queerbaited and put him back with Alison for two seconds or anything

I really wished they brought him back one last time tbh
The discussion then shifted p quickly - I think it was to fan questions. A mental health question came up and everyone talked about their struggles and were near tears talking about their own experiences (either going into as much detail as they wanted or skimming the surface)?? I don’t remember the exact transition. It was a long, 10 hr day of camping out that I’ll never do for that show again (and it ( ... )

thank you!
conventions sound exhausting, honestly.

i think it's such a copout to pull the, "everyone dies and we wanted to be real," schtick, especially considering the source material and the fact that q was suicidal.

I think the show will be fine without Quentin I just hate that we won't get to see his relationship with Eliot develop :(

You mean how [Spoiler (click to open)] they threw that relationship, and everything they built, away for him to be all “let’s try this again!!” With Alice? I’m livid, lol. the cast didn’t find out until the week/day of that episode

It was weird reading interviews/comments they made about they had NO CLUE what was going to happen, and how Hale seemed one of the ones that was most upset, and at SDCC they were like “oh this scene was a perfect scene to end everything! We went acting, all of our expressions were legit”
