Television Characters That Can't Be Killed

Writers pride themselves in creating loveable and memorable characters for audiences, and it's particularly important when it comes to television, because it's the characters that audiences keep coming back to watch each week. But there's more than one way to convince viewers to tune in and, and writers love nothing more than to place beloved characters in mortal danger to really keep audiences enthralled during an episode, on in anticipation for the next one.

The recent True Blood finale provides an excellent example of this, with the fate of arguably the show’s most popular vampire, Eric, played by Alexander Skarsgard, being left up in the air until the shows next season after he burst into flames on top of the mountain in the Swiss Alps. The discussion of the shows finale could have easily been about Warlow's sudden but inevitable transformation into the season's big villain, or Billith's transgression back to Bill, or that intriguing six month flash into the future, but no, fans, especially the female ones, were most concerned about the fate of their beloved Eric. And of course, the one question on everyone's lips until the show return in nine months is, 'is Eric really dead?' 

The obvious answer to that question would be evident to the most casual television viewer, which is, of course not. Not only is Eric a main character of True Blood, but he is an integral member of the shows forever running love saga, him being one of Sookie's many potential suitors, of which he is the most liked by viewers. For the writers to kill him off would unleash the most furious fan backlash a television show has ever seen, and the show would undoubtedly lose a substantial amount of viewers because of it.

The fact is in television, like most storytelling, there are some characters that just can't be killed. Some for the reason above, but mostly, characters that are integral to a shows plot, the 'main' ones, can't be killed because the show is about them, and it wouldn't be the same show without them. Shows that share their titles with the main lead are the most obvious ones. Dexter, Castle, Bones and Nikita are all shows in which the lead can't die (unless it's at the very end). And I don't recall House, Veronica Mars, or Buffy dying either (okay so Buffy died twice, but she came back because she couldn't stay dead! There wouldn't be a show without her.) And then there are shows in which there are one or more main characters who are so closely linked with the premise that there would be no show without them. There would be no Revenge without Emily, no Supernatural without Sam and Dean etc.

And then there are those characters like Eric, whose name's not in the title, and who the show could easily go on without, despite fan backlash. But writers understand the importance of keeping audiences both entertained and happy, and that means that there are some characters that just can't and won't be killed, and why Eric will most definitely survive to see True Blood's seventh season (SPOILER: True Blood producer Brian Buckner has confirmed this). And here's some other cherished television characters that are never going to suffer that fate because of how much they are loved by audiences:

Richard Harrow (Boardwalk Empire):

Since the shocking death of Jimmy Darmody on the period drama series that depicts the prohibition era in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Richard Harrow, a disfigured war veteran, has cemented his position as a fan favourite character. Despite the amount of violence that usually surrounds him, and the horrors he endured during his time in the war, Harrow is portrayed as a very childlike character, who is still discovering the world for the first time (or possibly again after the war) and it's a fascinating journey for audiences to watch. While Harrow is a simple and innocent man that knows nothing more than the hand life has dealt him, he's not one to ask for sympathy, and that, ironically, is what makes him such a sympathetic character for audiences. His temperament, sense of dress, and all the other ways in which he is presented make him a beautifully haunting character. Harrow is also an expert gunman, which not only comes in handy for those characters lucky enough to be his allies, but also strikes fear in his enemies. Any scene with him and a gun in it is fraught with tension because of his calm demeanour in wielding a weapon, and his shooting abilities not only ensure his livelihood on the show, but in the hearts of audiences as well.

Jesse Pinkman (Breaking Bad):

As Breaking Bad heads towards its final episode, fans of the show have been speculating wildly as to how things will end for science teacher turned drug lord Walter White. Just as importantly is how the characters around Walt, his family, and his ex-partner in crime Jesse, will be effected by the fallout that is undoubtedly going to befall him, and whether or not they'll be partially responsible for it, or just get caught in the crossfire. For the entire run of Breaking Bad Jesse has again and again suffered greatly because of Walt's actions, which has taken a significant emotional toll on his character. He has become the series' most sympathetic figure, a young man out of his depth who wants desperately to repent for his past sins. So for many fans, Jesse's death at the end of the series would simply be unjustifiable. He's been the moral centre for a show whose main protagonist has progressively turned into an antagonist, so if there's one thing fans want from the end of Breaking Bad, it's a happy ending for Jesse (or at least one that doesn't involve him dying).

Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones):

It's probably stupid to say that characters in Game of Thrones can't be killed, considering that the author of the fantasy book series the show is based off, George R.R. Martin, has become infamous for killing off prominent characters in shocking and unexpected ways, but I'm going to anyway. The reason Daenerys can't be killed off is that, and note I have not read the books, Game of Thrones is essentially her story. While majority of the characters are centralised on a singular continent, albeit a large one containing many kingdoms, Daenerys has spent three seasons separated from them in her attempts to return there. She’s crossed oceans, married the leader of a savage tribe, freed slave people and is the mother of dragons, who believes her rightful place is atop the throne in King's Landing. It's debatable whether or not she will succeed, but general storytelling practices tells us that so much time wouldn't be spent on a character and her journey unless it was for a reason. So Daenerys will eventually get to King's Landing, and hopefully fight for the thrown, and that's precisely why she cannot die.

Nolan Ross (Revenge):

Nolan is the smart, sarcastic and level-headed sidekick that anyone who's trying to exact large amounts of revenge on people, in this case the rich and powerful, needs. For Revenge, Nolan provides a much needed dose of humour into the Hamptons. Dramas like Revenge have a tendency to take themselves incredibly seriously, which can make for painful or hilarious viewing depending on your taste. Regardless, Nolan has that unique self-referential wit that stops the show from veering into the melodramatic too often, and audiences can't help but relate and understand the snarky comments he makes about the rich socialites he ostracises himself from. This in turn demonstrates his role as the moral compass of the show, sharing the highlife status, but distancing himself from it and trying to use his money and power for good. While he is an integral part of Emily's revenge plans, he's always questioning her motives, ensuring that her fiery temperament doesn't get the best of her by reminding her she's fighting to avenge the injustice her father was served. His strong emotional ties with Emily also form the show’s most meaningful (and pretty much only platonic) relationship, which make him an indispensable character that fans couldn't stand to lose.

Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead):

It's difficult to say that a character in a show about the zombie apocalypse won't die, but again, I'm going to anyway. The Walking Dead prides itself on the grittiness it's genre can present on television, and killing major characters throughout its run has been a recurring, if not constant, occurrence. The show also prides itself on its characters, those who are fighting to survive in a dying world, and who better to represent that then a very American 'everyman'. While he was portrayed as a low-life, self-serving southerner in the shows first season, after the departure of his antagonising brother Merle from the group, The Walking Dead showcased Daryl’s transformation. His skills as a hunter and tracker make him an important member of the group, and while initially seeming untrusting, Daryl has warmed to the others, and as he did so, the audiences warmed to him. Now he's arguably the most competent character on the show, with Rick suffering a prolonged mental breakdown, but he's far too humble to try and lead the others, but rather content on being the man everyone turns to for help. And of course he has to retain he's masculinity while doing this, so there's a lot of crossbows, really aggressive glaring and an occasional wise-crack to round out this lovable character. To be honest, Daryl can't die on The Walking Dead, because if he did, everyone else would soon follow.

So do you agree with my picks? Are these characters just too valuable to their respective shows, and more importantly, their fans, to die? Or do you think they're just as expendable as any other character? And do you have any characters you love so much that the show they're in would be forever ruined if they died?

About that SPOILER! That Happened To SPOILER! On Last Night's SPOILER!

If you think what Walder Frey did over a broken oath was bad, imagine what he'd do to you if you spoiled his favourite television show.

Okay so here's your obligatory stop-reading-right-this-instant-if-you-are-not-up-to-date-with-your-favourite-television-show-because-in-this-article-I-will-be-discussing-the-shows-tagged-and-therefore-there-will-be-SPOILERS! But if you're anything like me you'll probably just ignore this warning and go right ahead anyway, unaware that seconds from now your bad decision will spoil a television show that you watch, which is exactly what happened to me with Game of Thrones last night.

As anyone with access to the Internet probably knows by now HBO's Game of Thrones went and killed off two major characters is a very unceremonious way. And it made for great television. It was the emotionally shocking stuff I love to watch. But I can't help but feel that what happened might have had an even stronger resonance with myself, and many others who have voiced their dismay at being spoiled, if we'd stayed away from our computers before watching the episode.

Personally, I have no one to blame but myself. I frequently visit television news sites based in the US (being fully aware that I usually won't get to see shows that air until a couple of hours later), and even non-descript article titles like 'Game of Thrones Shocker', at which point I should have closed my web browser, didn't deter me. And so it came to be that I found an article titled 'Game of Thrones showrunners interview: The Red Wedding -- EXCLUSIVE', which was accompanied with this picture and the caption below it:

 

Game of Thrones just depicted one of the most disturbing death scenes in TV history: The graphic massacre of noble young rebellion leader Robb Stark...

And of course, that's where, like Robb, I was completely blindsided, and also like Robb's death, I was partially responsible for what occurred. Although I'm glad I did remain partially unscathed... I didn't know Talisa, her unborn child, and Catelyn were doing to die, so that's something. Regardless, let's just say I got off easy. I've already heard of several accounts of people finding over through Facebook, and promptly deleting whoever spoiled them over the incident.

I think it's safe to say this won't be the first or last time viewers are spoiled of a major death on television. I, of course, have done this before. I found out about Jimmy Darmody's death on the season two final of Boardwalk Empire while still trying to catch up with the show. Likewise, by the time I started watching Dexter I already knew Trinity would kill Rita in the season four final, in fact, finding out might been the catalyst for me to start watching the show.

But it's not only the Internet culpable of spoiling such things, television is such a large industry that even those involved can't keep everything hidden from the press to stop the fans from being spoiled. Leading up to The O.C.'s third season final rumours were rife that a major character was being killed off. Creator and writer Josh Schwartz even circulated the red-herring that the show's family patriarch, Sandy Cohen, was dying, only to have actress Mischa Barton, who played Marissa Cooper, reveal several days before the show's final that she had left, and that her character was being killed off. Similarly, during a wrongful termination lawsuit actress Nicolette Sheridan served Marc Cherry in regards to her departure from the show Desperate Housewives, Cherry was asked to prove that other major characters, like Sheridan's Edie, had being killed off of the show before, and that her exit wasn't a personal attack on Sheridan. Cherry responded that they were killing off Mike Delfino, the husband of one of the housewives, several weeks before the episode aired, spoiling the shock for fans.

 

As you can see, there's no way to avoid spoilers, and Game of Thrones is even more hazardous for spoilers because it's based of George R.R. Martin book series A Song of Ice and Fire. In fact the brutal scenes depicted in The Rains of Castamere occurred in book three of the series, which was released late 2000. And unlike with the Harry Potter series, in which I was forever immune to discovering the death of Sirius or Dumblemore as I read the books within the first couple of days of their release, I don't as yet have the luxury of staying unspoiled with Game of Thrones. So the best I can do in this case is to in fact get started, or should I say, continue, reading the novels as to be certain that this doesn't occur again. Ironically I'm only three-quarters of the way through book one, I'm up to the chapter in which Robb and Catelyn first arrive at The Twins to meet with Walder Frey. I wonder what will come from that? Wait, wait... don't tell me, I don't want to be spoiled.

Game of Thrones 3.2 Review: Dark Wings, Dark Words

In King's Landing Margaery invites Sansa to lunch with her and her grandmother, Olenna Tyrell, who is amusingly honest and abrupt. They ask Sansa what Joffrey is like, since Margaery is to be married to him, and poor Sansa just can't quite ever grasp her composure, initially hesitant, then telling them the truth about Joffrey, before retracting everything she said.

As Joffrey is being fitted with his wedding clothes Cersei questions him about Margaery. He quickly grows angry and impatient with his mother, but is obviously not above heeding her advice, later inviting Margaery to his chambers. He questions her about her late husband Renly and where her loyalties lie, but she cleverly distracts him by admiring his love of the hunt and crossbow skills. Margaery's not exactly subtle about it either, and one has to wonder whether or not Joffrey is just dumb, or doesn't mind being played with as long as a pretty young woman is playing with the idea of his perverse sexual desires.

Tyrion finds Shae in his room, and he is afraid Of Tywin's threat to kill any whore with which he shares a bed. Shae is unperturbed, and has come to tell him about Petyr Baelish taking an interest in Sansa, to which Tyrion replies that now Sansa is no longer betrothed to Joffrey, many men will take an interest in her.

Beyong the Wall Mance Rayder tells Jon that the way he got all of his men to fight in his army was that if they didn't work together, they'd all die. Jon encounters his first warg, people who can see through the eyes of animals, in Orell. Orell awakens from his trance after inhabit acting a crow and tells Mace Rayder that he has seen the Fist of the First Men, and the aftermath of the battle which took place there.

In an unknown location, Theon is tortured by a group of men, and despite answering all of their questions through fully they continue to do so. After they leave a boy who claims to have been sent by Yara Greyjoy, promises to aid him once the soldiers are sleeping.

While heading towards the Wall, Bran, Rickon, Osha and Hodor are confronted by Jojen and Meera Reed. Jojen shares a dream with Bran, and reveals he's a greenseer like Bran. He says that after Ned's death and seeing Bran in his visions, that Jojen and his sister were sent to look for him.

Travelling north, Arya Stark,  Gendry, and Hot Pie are discovered by group who fight for the Brotherhood without Banners. He offers to take them to an inn to eat if they tell him how they escaped Harrenhal, which they do. As they are leaving another group of Brotherhood soldiers enter with a captive Sandor Clegane, who recognises Arya and reveals her true identity to the men.

While transporting a chained Jamie to King's Landing, he and Brienne encounter a farmer who gives them up to men whose allegiances lie to the North, and as such, they want to give Jamie's head to Robb.

Game of Thrones 3.1 Review: Valar Dohaeris

Beyond the Wall Jon Snow finally meets Mance Rayder, the king of the wildlings, and is duely accepted by him because of his noble reasons for abandoning the Night's Watch. Jon will no doubt struggle adapting to the foreign community, but already his presence amongst a new group of characters seems promising against the stark comparison of his storyline last season.

At King's Landing Tyrion is saddened that his efforts during the battle of Blackwater have gone unnoticed by his father. Cersei is overly suspicious of what Tyrion might say to Tywin, but Tyrion asks him for his family inheritance Casterly Rock, to which Tywin replies that Tyrion is an embarrassment. I've always felt sorry for Tyrion in regards to his relationship with his family, particularly after his efforts to save them last season, but we've never actually seen a Lannister family dynamic with Tywin involved. Unfortunately it just led to a very depressing and subdued Tyrion, the opposite of what his character is loved for, so lets hope he soon finds a way to one up his father without being entirely disowned and losing his power.

Meanwhile Petyr Baelish tells Sansa that he is in negotiations to take a role that would remove him from King’s Landing and he offers to smuggle her out with him, but Ross, his handmaiden, tells Shae that Sansa should be careful with Baelish. Margaery Tyrell, Joffrey's newly be throed, has no reason to run, however, undertaking her role as future Queen quite well when she stops at the Flee Bottom and comforts children from the orphanage. Joffrey does not join her, afraid to step out of his carriage, and later that night at dinner Cersei tells Margaery that she ought to be more careful, to which Joffrey openly disregards her. It's great to see some tension between two characters that have been so strong together, especially from Margaery, who is a vast change from having passive Sansa at his side. No doubt she won.t stay there too long though if Cersei thinks she is being undermined.

Stranded on a rock in the bay outside King’s Landing after the battle of Blackwater Davos is picked up by a ship belonging to Salladhor Saan who returns him to Dragonstone despite his concerns about Davos returning. There he finds Stannis secluded and that Melisandre has been burning people alive at his castle for speaking out against her. Davos loses his temper at Melisandre, attempts to kill her, and is sent to the dungeons. While admirable, Davos's constant plight to ween Stannis out of Melisandre's throe has become quite tedious and repetitive. With still no more information given about who Melisandre is and her intentions the storyline seems baseless, and quite a waste of three characters who I'm sure could have potential. 

Across the Narrow Sea Daenerys arrives at Astapor in Slaver’s Bay and is considering buying renowned eunuch slave soldiers, the "Unsullied". She and Ser Jorah witness a demonstration of their fortitude, but Daenerys is horrified to hear of their gruesome training. Later, walking throughout a nearby market, a warlock, masked as a young girl attempts to assassinate Daenerys with a scorpion, but is thwarted by a cloaked Barristan Selmy who swears his allegiance to her. Darenerys self-importance is as heightened as ever now that she has acquired enough money to actually start progressing. However, I'm afraid her storyline will continue to be plagued by distracting subplots as it always has been, and Selmy's arrival at the end of the episode does nothing to qualm those thoughts,

Rating: 3/5

Game of Thrones Season 2 Final Recap & Review (2.10: Valar Morghulis)

At King's Landing, Tyrion awakes heavily bandaged, and Maester Pycelle informs him that he is no longer the hand of the king. Poor Tyrion, it must be so difficult for him to be a part of the family he is in. Despite this, when Shae suggests they travel to Pentos where they could be safe, an candid Tyrion tells her how he loves to thwart his family's plans. I wouldn't have it any other way Tyrion, but please be careful.

Tyrion's not the only one deserving of sympathy however. Joffrey rewards those who served him well in the battle, he makes his grandfather, Tywin Lannisater, his Hand, and gives Petyr Baelish the castle of Harrenhal for facilitating the alliance between the Houses of Lannister and Tyrell. Loras Tyrell asks Joffrey to marry his sister, Margaery, in order to solidify the relationship between the Houses. Joffrey, however, is betrothed to Sansa. Cersei convinces him that this union can be broken, however, because of the Stark's betrayal, and Joffrey then agrees to marry Margaery. Sansa is momentarily delighted that she must no longer be married to Joffrey, but Littlefinger reminds her that now Joffrey has no further plans to wed her, that she cannot go home, and she will have to remain at King's Landing under Joffrey's rule.

While last weeks enormous battle was good, this is what Game of Thrones does best. What makes the show so enjoyable is the game itself, of tactics, betrayals, alliances, and sacrifices, mostly portrayed through passive-aggressive discussions and snide comments. This is what the Game of Thrones is, and it is oh so good when done right. The King's Landing storylines are the best in the show, and with plenty of dynamic changes; Tywin as the new hand, Margaery as Joffrey's new betrothed, I very much look forward as to what will happen next.
Back at Dragonstone island (that was an unusually fast and successful retreat), Stannis confronts Melisandre about his defeat at King's Landing, when her and her Lord of Light promised him victory. She tells him it was a small loss in a much grander battle, but he proceeds to strangle her. She manages to tell him that her god is inside him, referring to the ghostly creature they created to kill Renly, and he releases her. She tells him he will be King, but still sceptical, Melisandre lures him to look deep into a fire, in which he seems to become mesmerised by visions of his future.

It would have been interesting to see what Stannis saw to convince him of his futuer success, but alas, all we get is Melisandre word. Stannis will obviously have to start another army if he's to be a contender for the thrown, but just how much help will be be receiving from Melisnadre and her mysterious and vengeful Lord of Light?

Meanwhile in the Riverlands Robb decides to break his promised vow to marry a daughter of the House Frey, by marrying Talisa, a woman he has known for five episodes, against Catelyn's wishes. I wouldn't be listening to Catelyn either, bet really Robb? Oh well, at least this sets up the possibility for another House to enter the brawl that is the Game of Thrones. I can't imagine that Walder Frey will take too lightly to Robb breaking his oath, especially after he gave them that bridge and all. At least Robb and his army now have the possibility of an enticing storyline, instead of sitting around all season.

While I very much enjoy the characters of Brienne and Jamie, their trip to King's Landing is taking an awfully long time, and there's only so much awkward banter I can take between them. Here's hoping they'll arrive at their destination soon, and that we can finally see all the Lannisters under one dysfunctional roof. And I can't wait to see what Brienne will get up to there.

At Winterfell, Theon's short rule came to an abrupt end. Surrounded by a northern army under command of Roose Bolton's bastard son; sent by Robb, Theon is left with few options. Maester Luwin suggests he joins the Night's Watch to redeem himself, but Theon realises he is too far gone, and that the only way to protect his honour is to lead the twenty men as has into battle. Theon presents a rousing speech to his men, before one of the, Dagmer, knocks him unconscious, with the intention of handing him over to the Northmen in exchange for their lives. Maester Luwin tries to intervene, and Dagmer stabs him with a spear. Later, Bran, Rickon, Osha and Hodor emerge from their hiding place in Winterfell's crypts and find the castle burnt to the ground. In the godswood they find Maester Luwin dying. He tells them that they must go north to the Wall, as there are too many enemies in the south, and that once there Jon will be able to keep them safe and tell their mother of their survival.

I loved watching Theon's disintegration this season, the lengths in which he went to please his family, and to betray the Starks, showed a truly desperate and conflicted character, and I can't imagine next season as anything too promising in store for him when he is reunited with Robb. On the other hand, it seems were are going to have another several characters travelling in Bran, Rickon, Osha and Hodor, and I can't see there journey to the Wall being at all exciting, and then once they get then and find no Jon...

Speaking of travellers, Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie are unfortunately already on their own tedious journey after escaping Harrenhal. They are surprised to meet Jaqen H'ghar who offers to take Arya with him to Braavos, where she can learn the skills of killing he has and find a way to kill those on her list. However, she refuses, wanting to be reunited with her family. Jaqen gives her a silver coin and the words "Valar Morghulis", telling her to speak them to any man from Braavos should she ever need to find him again. Jaqen bids Arya farewell and departs, changing his face to that of a different man as he leaves.

While I'm sure will be seeing the mysterious Jaqen again, it seems for now that he, and any interesting storyline for Arya, have moved on. I'm interested to see where they are headed, and can only hope they get there soon, or that something mildly interesting happens to them along the way. Perhaps the time to start up a relationship between Arya and Gendry?

Daenerys finally arrives at the House of the Undying as we all knew she would when she first meet Pyat Pree five episodes ago. Her arrival there, thankfully, provided some of her most entertaining scenes of this season, including walking through the snowy, ruined throne room of King's Landing,  and a tent with Khal Drogo, and what would have been her infant son Rhaego. Both of which where magical illusions created by Pree. When she eventually finds her dragan, Pyat Pree appears and tells her that she and her dragons are the source of their magic and that they make each other stronger. He then proceeds to chain her up alongside her dragons. Before he can complete this however Daenerys commands her dragons, and they shoot flames at Pree, who catches on fire and is burned alive. Daenerys returns to Qarth to confront Xaro, who betrayed her. She finds him asleep in bed with her Dothraki handmaiden, Doreah, who she thought killed during her dragons abduction. She takes them to Xaro's fault, which he had previously claimed had untold riches inside, but which they find empty. Daenerys then locks the pair of them in the fault, leaving them to starve to death. Jorah Mormont tells Daenerys that that could possibly salvage enough of Xaro's belongings in order to acquire a small ship.

I'm glad we can all move on now Dany, and please, please, please, no more season long journeys! For Daenerys or any of the characters. She better find a boat soon is all I can say.

Beyond the Wall, Qhorin Halfhand takes his ingenious plan to get the wildlings to trust Jon to a ridicoulous level. He grabs a swords, fights with Jon, yelling obstencities all the while, until Jon kills him. The man sure knows how to die for a cause. Impressed, the Lord of Bones cuts Jon free and Ygritte shows him their vast army, gathering in a valley below with a promise to take him to their King Beyond the Wall, Mance Rayder.

At least this season long journey looks like it's going to pay off, it's going to be really interesting to see how the wildlings live, and even more so how Jon is going to survive among them. I'm sure Ygritte will be more than willing to give him a helping hand if you know what I mean...

Back at the Fist of the First Men, Sam, Grenn and Edd hear three horn blasts; the warning call for White Walkers. They flee, but Sam is left behind, caught in a sudden blizzard. Seeing shadowy figures moving through the snow, Sam hides behind a rock and watches as undead warriors walk past him, led by a fearsome White Walker mounted on a horse. Sam cowers, but the Walker ignores him and orders its army, to advance on the Fist.

Zombies? It was cool and all, but I'm not too sure how much magic I can take from Game of Thrones, particularly when where already dealing with smoke monsters and men who can change their faces. Still, it was one hell of a foreboding way to end the season.
