So, a small meta thing about 11x02

[citrusjava]

You probably saw Carver's graceless reaction at ComiCon to fans having issue with Charlie being killed off - particularly form a social justice POV.

In 11x02, (written by Andrew Dabb, same person who wrote the ep Charlie died in), Show said - oh, you don't like that we killed off a woman who's attracted to other women? Here, have another one! 3-2-1-dead!


I can't believe this is a coincidence. It reminds me of that Teen Wolf show runner throwing around his power to remind fans "who's boss".

ETA: Sorry, not Dabb -he wrote the next episode, my mistake!

I would agree if Jenna and Charlie were unusual for being killed, but so many characters suffer the same fate that I just can't see them as being singled out.

Buckner and Ross-Lemming wrote the episode where Charlie died.

But otherwise, I agree with you. It felt like a kick in the teeth to queer fans.
