I'm still in shock and can't quite believe they did that. *meep*
I've been loving this show because there's a really deep vein of thinkiness hard wired into the epiodes and I love trying to pick out what it is all about.
Yay, another fan! You're the first one I've "met." I just feel like it was done so unceremoniously. Even Charlie got a more epic death than Derek, and that just doesn't seem fair. We got 15 minutes of struggle leading up to Riley's death and then bam! Derek is dead in 5 seconds flat. What is this?
I agree about the thinkiness. There's something deep about this show. I think it all goes back to this (supposed) inevitability - that John is going to grow up to become this and that, that everyone is going to die protecting him. It's just really interesting watching the characters come to grips with it.
Yeah, all the more reason it was so shocking. No warning. No opportunity to ready yourself. Just sudden violent death. Much more painful and realistic.
And watching John deal with it all? Oh wow. No wonder he's developing an unnaturally close relationship with Cameron.
I do hope the show gets renewed I really want to see how all this plays out.
