Perhaps you also liked that his was the only character who wasn't a turd or having a really bad day. Until the end, at which point it was a REALLY bad day.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.
- Oh, I didn't realize they hadn't released all of S4. How many eps did they not release? It would be good marketing to release them in conjunction with the mini-series airing. Here's hoping. Selfishly, I hope Sci-Fi at least shows S4 right before the mini-series so I can be caught up. Memememe. Or I could get really organized and figure out where Sci-Fi is in the cycle of reruns and tape what I know I can't get on DVD. Or something.*
there are still 8 episodes to be released in the US. 2 DVD compilations more

Jack Davenport. Love that name. He and Fred Toaster and Jeffrey Throw Pillow have a great comedy routine.
That joke is as old as the Ottoman empire.

The other other Robin. The readers got to vote on whether he lived or not. The Joker beat him to death with a crowbar, which tells you how the poll went.
Sure to be an x-post

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think any of Batman's sidekicks/companions have become more interesting than him. Interesting enough for their own comics, sure. But not interesting.
Wasn't Tara underage when she was cavorting with Deathstroke? NSM with the even vaguely cute or whimsical kids, is DC.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Suela, I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking, "Eat it, Sci-Fi! And you still suck! But please air the miniseries and treat it nice!"
Dana, you're not the only one. (Nor is Consuela, for that matter.) I stop by SciFi every now and then, but I usually curse and shake my fists at them as I merrily channel surf past it. And illogically or no, Stargate episodes on SciFi makes me see red.

Up for a round of furniture puns?

See, I just like this scenario, without disliking Jason. It's angst-making, and unexpected (unless, you know, you voted in the poll), and pointlessly shocking, and exactly the sort of thing that should realistically happen to nutters who patrol the mean streets in their long johns. Not that it necessarily came across that way in the comic; I just like a good sacrificial lamb now and then.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I assume people voted YES overwhelmingly, then?
I like the idea of the severity of the killing matching the % of YES votes -- like, if killing Jason won by only 51%, he'd be licked to death by kittens.

Yo, Stalker wanters: the one you want is A Lonely Place of Dying.
Hero Reborn, while good, is NOT the Creepy Stalker Meetup TPB.
D'oh.
I really need to index these things, or at least remember which one is which.

I could see the Joker doing this to someone. It would be a slow death, for sure.

Yeah. I mean, they're interesting enough for their own comics, but man, they wouldn't be interesting to me at all without their relationship with Batman.
If that makes any sense.
