The Sopranos anniversary: TV's most heartbreaking death explained
SPOILERS BELOW
This article made me think of this topic.
What are the worst TV deaths in your opinion? By this, I mean good guys that died, where you were shocked, or just depressed that a character you really liked was gone. You can include bad guys if the character was really interesting and the show missed him or her.
For me (in no particular order):
Robb Stark - I had read the books, and still hoped that somehow he would survive (That stupid scalitoing Kaitlyn Stark had it coming).
Anne Boleyn (The Tudors) - Natalie Dormer may one day become the female Sean Bean after biting the dust in The Tudors and Game of Thrones. The show lost something when Dormer left, and felt like the later seasons were just reciting history rather than developing characters.
Jimmy Darmody (Boardwalk Empire) - I have discussed this elsewhere, but this show was never the same after Darmody left. There were still good seasons and good episodes, but the show lost a big chunk of its foundation.
Lane Pryce (Mad Men) - he was one of my favorite characters in the show, and the closest thing a show about narcissistic -holes can have to a likable character, especially once he flattened Campbell.
Omar Little (the Wire) - you knew he was going down, and it was just a matter of when, but it was still shocking.
Bobby Baccala (Sopranos) - not so much shocking, as just raw. Most of the show you barely saw Bobby as a gangster, and he was killed while buying model trains. I thought he might survive, although the way the show was going I knew the body count was going to be high.
