do you root for bad things

[sniffa]

to happen to fictionaL characters on tv (or movies, books, whatever)?

i do it aLL the time. i aLways wish for some outrageous pLot twist where donna martin dies, or Lucy camden Loses the baby or steve urkeL becomes a meth head.

occasionaLLy, when i make a statement Like that, i'LL be admonished by someone saying, "that's horribLe! how couLd you wish that on someone?"

i do it aLL the time... for fictionaL characters.

2. Brenda Walsh should have met a violent end.

I hope everybody realizes they actually hate raymond.

4. oh i hate him

every monday night, i'm reminded of my wishing bad intentions on the camden famiLy and most of the peopLe on 7th heaven.

i focus most of my rage on Lucy though - i so wanted something bad to happen to her or her baby (hopefuLLy both).

brenda? jeez, donna soooo had it coming. i remember how pissed i was when david saved her from being raped and kiLLed.

8. i understand the Donna rage but Brenda really needed a huge ass kicking

I did kind of wish Ray had offed Donna though, he had his chance but blew it!

slap the shit out of Paula Zahn.

3. Once,

on CSI:Miami, a show I hate but watch anyway, I rooted for the blond girl to be the victim when previews hinted that one of them would die. She's so annoying and know-it-all. The whole show is so bad...and yet I watch.

11. there's some shows i can't stop watching

because i hate them so much. and i watch, hoping that it wiLL suddenLy turn into a party of five episode.

6. Unfortunately, the best kind of humor is at the expense of others.

But at my expense...not-so-much. lol

7. It isn't real, it's only a story

Atreyu, no!!!!!

9. I used to write for TV shows,

and you would LOVE the alternate endings and plot devices we used to come up with just to entertain ourselves.

Let me put it this way: on "Miami Vice," Sunny Crockett was very often separated from a serious piece of his anatomy by a crazed:

(1) drug dealer;
(2) prostitute,
(3) poodle,
(4) Ginzu knife salesman,
(5) shark,
(6) Melanie Griffith.

10. see?

12. When I'm writing, sometimes I MAKE bad things happen to fictional

characters. Sometimes the characters are even good, likable people.

[sniffa]

13. when a character is good,

but unbeLievabLy, over the top, good, i usuaLLy wish it.

[Left Is Write]

15. None of my characters is THAT good.

We all have our good and bad sides.

14. Always

In The West Wing when Zoe Bartlett was kidnapped, I was so hoping that she'd be found dead (I knew she wouldn't though).

I take strong likes and dislikes to chracters, and have no moral restrain on wishing ill on those I dislike.

16. Lately I've been doing it for

some real people. I get admonished too. but fuck them. I don't tell them how to think-like "oh how horrible! You WANT people in the cheneybush junta to live for a long time? that's disgusting!"
