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.

They fridged Carter in a pretty poorly written way with no redeeming features.

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.

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.

It makes sense to me that the whole team could not make it out of the fight against HR alive so somebody had to die. But I was very, very glad that Carter had asked John et al. for help in the first place. I feared that she would die fruitlessly going it alone. She went above and beyond that. The fact that it was almost all over and they had pretty much won makes it heartbreaking and frustrating. I do love that she went down fighting - Simmons shot Reese, Carter drew her weapon and started shooting back but took a bullet in the chest. Reese is going to hate that this woman that he cared about died - but he is going to doubly hate that she died trying to protect him. And to think, he had more issues than a box of National Geographics in a library basement before.

Now it's a show with white males and psychopathic white females. Carter was far and away the best realized character.

I am so over the whole "we're going to die so I'm going to tell you my true feelings" thing. The show had established a bond, but it didn't seem like that kind of bond. It just seemed like a cheap setup to have a "John goes over the edge" episodes. Also, while I've become fond of Jim Caviezel as this character, it's not like he can actually do emotions.

I thought Fusco's son lived with his wife. His son was barely mentioned and suddenly becomes a major plot point?

I am not happy.
