Dark Phoenix
Frakkin' Insanity
I want him to come back, but in a way the havn't used before! not the helix thing. Something shocking!
You make a lot of valid and interesting points. I too, think Sark is hot, but come on. You can't kill off Vaughn and have any of the story ring true. The highs and lows of four years end in death?! If JJ makes this decision he sells out the STORY and the PASSION (like 4 years of college with no diploma). We loyal fans who 'don't believe the show has gone downhill' till NOW deserve our due. It's a lack of attention to detail. Sure JJ got an award, but he also doesn't even know how to say "Mahalo" after spending a year in Hawaii. Frankly, this latest decision makes me lose all faith in him. Dumping Alias,though inconceivable to me today, seems like their due for doing this to us, well me anyway. :angry:Ok, seriously.
I know people are die hard fans of their favorite characters but lets keep things in perspective.
1. My guess would be that several of the people that are talking about boycotting the show are the same people that have complained for two years that the show "just hasn't been as good" since S1 and S2. Well, look how many characters from those seasons are no longer with us. Will, Francie, et al. Nobody boycotted the show then and it would be irrational to do it now. Personally, I have always found David Anders a much more interesting character and more attractive than MV but it never occurred to me to boycott the show when they basically removed him from the plot. I think Lena Olin is a tremendous actress and I would have adored having her as a regular for the last few seasons but, again, c'est la vie. As much as people HATED Melissa George I thought she was an interesting character. She advanced the plot and I am sure that we didn't lose any fans when they brought her on or when the others exited. This should be no different.
2. The primary reason that ALL of us love this show is because the only thing constant on it has been change. Not just trivial things-MAJOR plot altering changes that have affected all of the MAJOR characters-this is no different. Give JJ some credit-dude just won an award for his ability to write FANTASTIC drama scripts. This show would have never lasted this long if Sydney was still trolling around SD6 thinking she worked for the CIA having the same conversation over and over again with Will and Francie about the constant travel with her 'bank job'. Same deal with Vaughn to some extent. I mean seriously, they're hot, they're not...over and over and over again. It was time for that to end. Now, did Vaugh need to die? Who knows....that point will be debated forever amongst hard core fans of Vaughn but bottom line-he is dead. The show will go on for at least another couple of months. I just can't imagine watching what has been a great show for over four years and then dumping it all because one of the major characters is written off the show.
**************************im new to this website but here is my thoughts (1)jack said he would do whatever it took to help syd and vaughn (2 )we saw syd giving vaughn something to drink(remember what sloane did to emily in season 2 and what jack did to sloane in season 3.( 3 )closed casket vaughn face was not messed up so why not an open casket? and (4) the music playing at the funeral the song "dirty little secrets" so i think jack faked vaughns death. (i hope so, it still made me cry though)
Was anybody else as pissed about Vaughn's death as I was? Not kidding, my jaw dropped when he "died", and it made me so sad. He can't die, he has to be alive. I only hope it was his evil double who died and not Vaughn. And if he really is dead on the show, I think it has something to do with Jennifer Garner's marriage and new baby w/ Ben Affleck, if so that makes me even more pissed off. Vaughn is too good of a character to be dead!!!!!!! I may have to stop watching the show if he is really dead, it makes me so sad...
