Spoiler for The Shield: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Lem a.k.a Curtis Lemansky.
It happened in such a brutal manner, too. The Strike Team were a bunch of bastards, but Lem was the best of them. Spoiler for The Wire: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Wallace.
"WHERE THE F*** IS WALLACE?!"
Still gives me goosebumps.

The silent end credits after Adric's death in Doctor Who perfectly complemented the shocked silence in my house.
The last episode of Blake's 7. The body count was brutal.

The ending of Dinosaurs was the extinction of the dinosaurs, including Earl lying to his kids how everything will be okay while it snows outside the house, with the show ending with a somber news report saying there is no end in sight to the snow and the cold. Fitting, yes, BULLSHIT, ABSOLUTELY! Totally unneccesary to kill cute characters like that. While writing this, I had goose bumps from head to toe, words cannot express how I hated that as a kid. My second one is a show who was a repeat offender and luckily for most of you I suspect you've never seen it. This shit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Hutch_the_HoneybeeBasically, the idea of this show, which I knew as Hutchi here in Quebec, is that this orphan little bee is looking for his mom. Every show he makes a new friend. Every show, the new friend dies in an horrible and cruel fashion, protecting Hutchi The Orphan Bee, with Hutchi crying his eyes out because he lost his friend and didn't find his mom. So every show, you were upset and traumatised by some bug dying a vicious death. It was made for little kids, or at least it was marketed as such here. Problem is, it made kids CRY. And it aired in primetime for kid TV, on NATIONAL TELEVISION, everybody watched it. So many parents complained that they pulled it off the air before the end of the series. So the last of Hutchi we saw, another friend of his died, and HE NEVER FOUND HIS MOM. It makes me mad 20+ years later. |

Once again, I have to add Colonel Henry Blake from "M*A*S*H". And the Blue Beetle. I also want to add this one... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Punk rocker Joe Dick (played by singer/actor Hugh Dillon) from the movie "Hard Core Logo". After seeing that happen, there was a pit in my stomach for days. |

I am a huge M*A*S*H fan and I try to avoid watching Abyssinia, Henry because it just tears me apart every time. It's up there with finding out what the woman on the bus really did in Goodbye, Farewell and Amen for heart breaking. |

Seconding Snape. That one still makes me mad and it's been 7 years, haha. I tend to like characters who end tragically though, so hm. There's been a lot over the years. I can't even keep track of them all.

So do we have to put spoilers tags in this? My rule of thumb has always been if the spoiler is more than three years old, it's fair game. |

They decided they needed to kill off a main character in the Expanded Universe, asked Lucas who he would least miss and he said Chewie. It was a novel by R A Salvatore (who I usually like) and the last EU book I ever read. I'll go and read the Thrawn and the X-Wing series occasionally but anything after that is dead to me. I'm GLAD Disney is getting rid of the EU, 95% of it is shoddy fan fiction at best. There were a three or four of books after that book that are worth checking out, especially if you like the X-Wing series. The Enemy Lines Duology (written by X-Wing veteran Aaron Alston) and the books immediately preceding (Dark Journey) and the one immediately afterward (Traitor) are both worth checking out for different reasons. The duology is just classic Alston material and the other two are deeply character development driven (though Traitor sort of did piss all over some of the established mythology as being deliberately falsified by the Jedi Counsel of old, so some probably hated it). DEAD TO ME(but thanks for the info). |

Sue Dibny, in Identity Crisis. I nearly ragequit the entire DCU after that one. In retrospect, I probably should have. But, no, I had to tough it through Infinite Crisis, 52, Countdown, and Final Crisis, all of which featured even more character deaths that upset the hell out of me - Blue Beetle, Phantom Lady, Elongated Man, 90% of Aquaman's supporting cast, the Golden Age Superman. Gehenna's death in Blackest Night was the last straw. I haven't read a mainstream DC comic since then, and from what I've seen of the new 52, it doesn't look like I'm missing much.

Ana Lucia and Libby in Lost. I wanted Michael's blood for him being so stupid. Libby yes. Anna Lucia was forced on us like a bad WWE developmental character. She was an "it girl" and I resented her every scene. I was actually cheering as she expired...then Michael shot Libby and I was pissed bc Hurly wouldn't be getting any payoff |

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Hank in Breaking Bad. Man that was a terrible way for him to go out. That whole episode was just emotionally crippling. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Hank I was annoyed about from a story perspective, I wanted him to take down Walt, but at least he went out like a badass. Now Gomi, that one actually made me sad, offscreen between episodes, I wanted him to live dammit! |

So the last of Hutchi we saw, another friend of his died, and HE NEVER FOUND HIS MOM. It makes me mad 20+ years later. What the hell Canada? Right?! Well, ends up it was pulled off the air for the better. Because I made my research this morning and the follow up that aired in Japan isn't any more nicer. In season 2, Hutchi finds his mom and a sister... AND THEN HIS MOM IS BRUTALLY MURDERED BY WASPS! And then, Hutchi and his sister go off to find some hill where they can start a new beehive together.... meaning the ultimate payoff, if they even make it together, is an incestuous, inbred beehive. www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1742For my money, there has never been a bigger "f*** YOU, KIDS!" than Hutchi. I saw the David The Gnome thing, and I think there's actually a nice message in there that maybe people die but they survive, or something like that. But in Hutchi, death and despair is the whole damn show, there is no message, a sadist made it to torture little kids into being depressed, and CASE IN POINT, the generation that watched this shit also where the grunge generation later. I should start a Youtube series that talk about bullshit in cartoons. |

Anyway Tom Baker's doctor's death/regeneration gets me, The fact that he's replaced by Davison's is upsetting ( I like peter Davison but I hated his Doctor) |

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Glenn in the Walking Dead comic. 2 TPBs released since and I haven't bothered with either - that was regular reading whenever it came out, but I think it killed my love for the comic for good (though I hold out hope I'll just grab a few TPBs at once off Amazon one of these days...) {Spoiler}{More Walking Dead comic spoilers.}Glenn's death sucked pretty hard, but not everyone can be safe forever and Negan had to be cemented as a chaotic asshole.
Now Abraham's death was some bullshit. He should still be around busting Savior skulls. |

Lionel Luthor from Smallville. One of my favourite characters ever on TV. The scene with Clark and Lex at his funeral is fantastic. The one from Smallville that always got to me was Alicia Baker's death. In addition to giving us a much needed break from the never-ending Clark-Lana roller coaster, it felt like the character herself had so much more story to tell. Not to mention the whole "Clark finally finds a girl he can be with and she dies in his arms" routine was such a rehash of Kyla Willowbrook's story from season two. |
