Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Because books.

Ah, Henry Blake is taken.

One death that was really a shock and a heartbreaker for me was Adriana on The Sopranos.

Also, Mr. Hooper from Sesame Street is a great one, which someone (I forgot to reread!) mentioned above.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Maybe Tara from BTVS? Or Quentin on The Magicians?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Maybe Tara from BTVS? Or Quentin on The Magicians?

I think only one per show, so can't be Tara. Quentin is a good choice, as it kind of killed off the show as well.

Eva Green's Vanessa Ives on Penny Dreadful should count, right? A ruinous ending to a great show.

Oh, didn't John Ritter die while he was starring on a sitcom, mid-season?

I think that's right.

I don't know how the show dealt with it, but that's a significant loss.

Phil Esterhaus (Michael Conrad), Hill Street Blues.

I decided to do Vanessa Ives on Penny Dreadful.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Adriana is the standout from the Sopranos for me, too.
