That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

David Strickland dying during production of *Suddenly Susan* and the show's handling of his character's death as a result stands out to me. Plus, if you're also writing about Phil Hartman that's TWO of Andy Dick's costars whose deaths he had involvement in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Slate just did a whole package about fictional deaths, so you might find some inspiration there? To me the answer after Joyce Summers is always Wallace on the Wire.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Grey’s Anatomy is ripe for this on character deaths.

Gary on 30Something was devastating.

Jimmy Smits on NYPD BLUE

And Mr Hooper on Sesame Street.

The Walking Dead is similar to Greys in having many options.

How about Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, in Farscape? She died in season 3.

And Wallace leads me right to Stringer Bell and Omar.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My nephew's celebration of life is scheduled for early September. Right after my last round of chemo. I'm still alternating between heartbroken and so mad at him for taking his own life when I'm going through so much shit trying to extend mine.
That's a lot, Epic. I think its good that you're being honest about those feelings.
