It seems like if there's a brunette, it's pretty likely she's monster bait and will die within two scenes.
It's because she doesn't taste of the bleach.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
That's good to hear, because that is one of the things that has been bugging me while going through S1. Also, why are almost all of the female characters blonde? It seems like if there's a brunette, it's pretty likely she's monster bait and will die within two scenes.
We need a blonde-to-brunette meter!
Mary, Jess, Layla: blonde and doomed.
Hailey, Andrea, Sarah: brunette and not doomed.

Oh, and Cassie, brunette and not doomed.
More seriously, the show does a lot with visuals, and the recurring doomed blonde theme seems to be a conscious echo of Mary's death and the start of this whole thing.
The S2 recurring female characters thus far have been an even split between blonde and brunette. If we get to see Ava again, brunettes pull ahead.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Don't forget about Cassie! Or maybe do, because it's Cassie, but still, she fits in the second group.
eta: Hee!

Hee! Cassie crosspost!
I like the idea of Cassie. Thought the actress, though stunning, wasn't quite up to rising above the script, but I have Cassie fondness due to the coolness of the concept of her.

I like the idea too, but not the execution/actress. Plus I wanted to smack her mom.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hmmm, Special Unit 2. Why is that title familiar?
Do you guys remember it?
They're going to be running it on Scifi starting next week.
