POI: No, no, no! I am not at all happy about this. I saw it coming last week, but I didn't want to believe it.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's going to be an hour or so before I even get home to watch. Spoil me?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Spoil me?
The internets are mad because fridging. I don't watch the show so that's all I know. But everyone who does is pissed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They fridged Carter in a pretty poorly written way with no redeeming features.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
And...they did it in such a way that some of what occurred in last night's ep seemed to come out of nowhere. They could have better planned this if this was to happen. I mean all the sudden John has feelings for Carter. Really?

Okay, Carter's dead. What made it a fridging? Who's all emo about it? John? Any specific behaviours dragged out of him by his raw manly grief?

I don't know what fridging is, I'm just sad to see Carter go. The previews did make it look like John is going to go off the deep end a bit as a result.

I don't think that Carter's and John's feelings or the kiss came out of nowhere. I think the show established they formed a deep bond since they'd started working together.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I agree, but then I've kind of been shipping them for a while, Zoe notwithstanding.

Fridging is killing a (female) character for no reason other than to give motivation for a male character. I'm not sure most TV deaths aren't fridgings of either gender, ergo Carter's was kinda gonna be, but without knowing more about it, I can't say.
