Shannen Doherty Called
I watched the OC season finale tonight, and it was so heart breaking. Even if I haven't watched very many episodes this semester. But Marissa (Mischa Barton) died. It was all sad and everything. Yet, Mischa gets the "Shannen Doherty called and wants her night time soap drama diva temper tantrum back". SO not only did Mischa decide to quit the OC (ruining the awesome foursome) but she has to be a bitch and tell Access Hollywood that she IS leaving the OC and the her character dies. Uhm I know the OC is this generations 90210 Beverly Hills, but come the Frick on, does she really need to take on Shannen Doherty's personality away (though I like Shannen a whole lot more than Mischa). The saddest part of this is that the only entertainment news I have followed recently is about Heather Locklear. I have remained ignorant to everything else, so I was completely clueless as to the events that would take place on tonight's episode. If I had known, I'm not sure I would have watched. Well I probably would because its one of my last nights at the WU and opportunity to watch it with friends. Though could have done without the jerk who kept harassing me and didn't even know who I was. Okay now I am through with that rantNow for the second rant. Why do shows feel the need to kill of characters? Okay in Mischa's case I can understand the writers being annoyed at her leaving the show and wanted to do something memorable if not risky. Silk Stalkings killed of Chris Lorenzo (Rob Estes) by having him take two cop killers (type of bullett) in the chest protecting his pregnant wife, Rita Lance (Mitzi Kapture). That was really sad, especially cause I was totally unprepared for it. And then next was Tara on Buffy The Vampire Slayer (BTVS). Joyce died on BTVS too, but Tara's death was soo much sadder. In a show about things that go bump in the night, Tara died by being shot be a simple human. I was a senior in high school and remembered thinking that I didn't want Tara to die, I had hoped it would have been Xander. And now as i think these are the only three shows that Ive really been into where a main character is killed off. Daytime soaps don't count because people come back from the dead all the time. I guess Sydeny, Kimberly, Brooke, and Matt were all killed off of Melrose, but I had already known those happened way before i watched the episodes. Well with the exception of Matt. That was a sad episode. But other than that, main characters tend to go on trips or move away when an actor leaves the show.
And that ends my post of shows killing off beloved characters and killing our hope that they may one day return to the show. And I think this proves that I have way too much time on my hands really late at night
