This just in?

It's still not cool to kill Sam Anders so Lee and Kara can realize their true love.

FWIW, Lee and Kara totally did not realize their true love.

so there's that.

It's not cool to kill off *anyone* so the other characters can realise their true love. Still, I suppose it's a change to see a man killed off...

Ah, there's nothing like Dropping A Bridge on someone you hate. Fandom, you are so predictable.

Worse is making someone evil to facilitate a ship. Like I said before, if you have to do that to justify your ship, maybe there's something wrong with your ship.

Yeah, it makes me sad, though depending on how it's done I can live with it ... but it's so rarely done in a way that I can live with, so... *gives up on making sense*

Ah, lazy writing...

Killing the Other can work out all right in the right hands, but it's usually so obvious they're just conveniently getting rid of The Enemy or forcing angst...

Half of fanfiction would have to be scrapped if people couldn't kill off someone so other characters could realize their one true love. I am always vaguely astonished that it's not Kara being killed so that Sam and Lee can run away together.

People are still doing that shit? *sigh*
