Sadness after Character Deaths

[Formalhaut]

Just now, I watched an episode of forensic crime series Silent Witness. In it, one of the three main characters, (SPOILER)Leo Dalton dies.

I am now grief-stricken. I really, really dislike it when a main character dies because it just really makes me depressed and sad. In a soap drama, Eastenders, one of my favourite characters left for good. While not as sad, it still was sad; if that makes sense.

I always get slightly fearful when it comes to the series finale of programmes because the chance of main character death quadruples, damn, I really hate changes!

Leave me now while I go and mourn his death. But while I'm doing that, do you have the same affliction as I do, or do you love it when characters die? What experiences do you have with deaths in T.V?

One of the reasons why I couldn't stand Lost was A) the plot is confusing and B) They seem to kill off characters left, right and centre.

With the thread title being what it is that spoiler alert seems a bit pointless considering you mention the character's name! I always thought one of the best things about Lost was their willingness to kill people off. It can be infuriating to see a favoured character killed off, but if it's something that works well within the plot I can accept it.

(SPOILER)Nate's death in Six Feet Under was very sad - and though it's a film, let's not get started about (SPOILER)Wash in Serenity!

I was on a plane home from holidays reading HP and the Half Blood Prince when (SPOILER)Dumbledore died. I was so upset at the time.

There are still tear stains on my copy of the book.

I honestly wasn't sad at all.

My soul has probably been split so many times I'm beyond human feeling.

Saddest death in HP is (SPOILER)Dobby's

[Mirage]

That I can agree with.

Anyway, I don't think any movie death has upset me more than Simba's dad.

[Kossage]

The death that moved me the most was the death of Littlefoot's mom in The Land Before Time. Not only is the death shot well but the aftermath and the music...it's all so gorgeous and heartbreaking. That's why even the death of Mufasa never quite had the same punch because I'd already been traumatized beforehand.

[Bubba]

(SPOILER)Setsuko in Grave of the Fireflies. Even though you knew it was coming I cried for a long time.
