I thought it was because it was the sheriff that killed him, i.e., not a supernatural death.
I'm sad about 17th Precinct.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damon snapping his neck wasn't supernatural, unless it reacts to who's doing the offing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Whoa! Well, all that hooplah about WW for nothing. And 17th Precinct was the one that had, like, half the cast of BSG, right? Alas.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
"Gauntlet" isn't the worst last episode a series could have. There's room for hope. Unlike, say, BSG or Angel.
True. I definitely wasn't as devastated as the end of Angel. SGU just felt...unfinished.
Damon snapping his neck wasn't supernatural, unless it reacts to who's doing the offing.
I read it as who is doing the killing. Was John always killed by a non human when he would pop back to life? I never paid attention to that.
That's a shame about 17th precinct and WW.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The problem with th ending of Angel is that they killed a couple of perfectly good characters who were my favorites. Feh.

I edited to be more clear about which series finale I was calling unfinished. I thought the AtS finale felt finished, I just didn't like how it finished. Ugh, I have to stop thinking about it or I'll get depressed again.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
John was only killed one time on screen while he was wearing the ring and it was by Damon. pretty sure the ring stipulation is that the death has to be cause by a supe.
my only real thought about last night's ep...Elena kissed Damon!!!

Yeah, loving a pretty unapologetic rapist. I just don't get this love triangle.
