RIP

I TEND TO ADMIRE UNIQUE, SUPPORTING CHARACTERS IN TELEVISION SHOWS AND MOVIES.  I ALSO HAVE AN ODD WAY OF KNOWING WHICH ONES ARE GOING TO EVENTUALLY DIE ON SCREEN BECAUSE THEY'RE OFTEN MY FAVORITE CHARACTER.  COINCIDENCE?  UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME I CAN'T RESIST GROWING EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENTS WITH CERTAIN ON SCREEN HEROES AND VILLAINS, AND WHEN THEY DIE IT FUCKS UP MY DAY TO SAY THE LEAST.  

QUITE RECENTLY, GAME OF THRONES' KING JOFFREY FILLED SOMEONE'S EARS TO THE BRIM WITH HIS WHINEY, TEENAGE WAILING BECAUSE HE FINALLY SAID HIS LAST WORDS...OR LACK THERE OF.  EVERYBODY KNEW HE HAD IT COMING, BUT IT'S STILL UPSETTING TO SEE HIM GO.  EVEN THE NASTIEST CHARACTERS CAN BRING SUBSTANCE AND PASSION TO A PLOT, AND HE WAS AS BRUTAL AS THEY COME.  REST IN PEACE, JOFFREY.  YOUR IRRATIONAL, YET SUSPENSEFUL AND UNPREDICTABLE VIOLENCE WILL BE MISSED.  

ONE OF HIS ASSHOLE MOVES WAS TURNING A GIFT FROM HIS UNCLE INTO A CRIME SCENE.  WHO WOULD EVEN THINK TO TURN PRETTY PROSTITUTES INTO TARGET PRACTICE?  ONE OF MY FAVORITES WAS LOST THAT NIGHT ON JOFFREY'S BEHALF.  ROS WAS THE WITTY HEAD OF LITTLE FINGER'S WORKING LADIES.  THE SHOW REALLY CONTRIBUTED SOME TIME INTO BUILDING HER PERSONALITY UP A BIT FOR HIM TO JUST DISCARD HER THE WAY HE DID.  HER DEATH DELIVERED A DARK CLOUD TO MY DAY JUST AS DROGO'S DEATH DID.  

I MUST ADMIT, THE MOST INTENSE LOSS OF A CHARACTER I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED WAS WHEN ADIBISI WAS SHANKED ON HBO'S OZ.  THAT WAS A ROUGH DAY FOR ME.  OZ IMPRISONED AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS, THEREFORE HAVING THE FREEDOM AND ABILITY TO KILL OFF MAIN CHARACTERS AS WELL AS CHARACTERS WHO WERE JUST INTRODUCED EARLIER IN THE EPISODE.  THERE WAS A LOT OF DEATH AND BLED SHED ON THE SHOW, AND IT WAS OFTEN SPONTANEOUSLY BUT ALSO STRATEGICALLY PLACED THROUGHOUT THE SIX SEASONS.  ADIBISI WAS THE MOST PSYCHOTIC AND BAD ASS CHARACTER ON THE SHOW AND IT WAS NOT OKAY HOW HE WENT OUT!  MY APOLOGIES TO ANYONE I WAS RUDE TO DURING THE WEEK I WATCHED THAT EPISODE IN SEASON FOUR.  

JUST A WHILE BACK THERE WAS MADISON ON AMERICAN HORROR STORY COVEN.  THANK GOODNESS THE WITCHES FIGURED OUT HOW TO BRING THAT BITCH BACK TO LIFE WITH A SPELL BECAUSE SHE WAS RELEVANTLY CRUCIAL TO THE SHOW.  HER DEATH WAS JUST ABOUT AS HEART WRENCHING AS IT WAS TO WATCH LITTLE ADELAIDE GET SQUASHED BY A CAR IN THE FIRST SEASON.  

AS SOON AS I PRESSED PLAY ON MY REMOTE CONTROL AND STARTED THE VERY FIRST EPISODE OF SPARTICUS, I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM AND HIS WIFE, SURA.  AND THEN A COUPLE MINUTES LATER SURA GOT KIDNAPPED AND I ASSUMED HER DEAD.  THE THOUGHT OF HER AL IVE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE ONLY TO ACTUALLY WATCH HER DIE ON SCREEN.  WHAT THE FUCK...WHY DID SHE HAVE TO BE SO BEAUTIFUL...

WITH THE FINAL SEASON OF TRUE BLOOD COMING UP, I'M AFRAID TO REVEAL MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS.  EVEN THOUGH THE SERIES FINALE IS KIND OF SIMILAR TO ALL THE CHARACTERS DYING, I WOULD STILL PREFER TO SEE MY FAVORITES EAT RATHER THAN BE EATEN!
