Was there really no way to give them even a little reprieve?
We start to know the music: we do everything to make you attach to a character and when you make a small place in your heart next to your mother and your cat, we rip you all shamelessly . The worst thing is that you’re maso because you come back every time. In fact you know very well that with time, the pain subsides, and that other characters will come to do the taf. Even if in hindsight, certain deaths seem to you really precipitated. The guys down there still had a role to play, I’m sure! (Attention spoilers!)
Jimmy Darmody (Boardwalk Empire)
The first two seasons of Boardwalk Empire revolve mainly around the mentor / protégé relationship between Nucky Thompson and Jimmy Darmody. But the thirst for power (and revenge) of the latter will lead to its loss … A heartbreak for all fans of the series, who had attached themselves to the true hero of the show of HBO.
We had to bump who instead? Manny Orvitz.
Charlie Pace (Lost)
Charlie is one of the most complex characters in Lost . An ex-rockstar addicted to the heroine who found a new meaning to his life after the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. On the island, the young man quickly fell in love with Claire, striving to help her Better to raise her baby. It will take time to digest his death in season 3, when his character would have deserved much better.
We had to bump who instead? Claire Littleton.
Robb Stark (Game of Thrones)
Roose Bolton’s blade not only took the life of poor Robb Stark during the famous “Purple Wedding” , it also caused a lot of trouble for fans of the fantasy series who imagined the new King of Winterfell well off to kick The Lannister ass. Robb, a great military strategist, imposed grave charges upon him, and Port-Royal seemed to him promised. But it is never good to have too many certainties in Game of Thrones , where his death and that of his mother totally rebuffed the cards.
We had to bump who instead? Everyone (this is what is expected).
Harry “Opie” Winston (Sons of Anarchy)
After a brief period of mechanics, “Opie” will quickly return to service within the Club. To the point of becoming one of the pillars of SAMCRO and more generally of the series. As much to say that his death in season 5 put a lot of fans in PLS, they who expected to see him continue until the end of SOA with his best friend Jax. Fate (and the creator of the series) will have decided otherwise.
We had to bump who instead? Clay Morrow.
Stringer Bell (The Wire)
The role that revealed Idris Elba to the general public. Straight arm of Avon Barksdale, Stringer Bell handles drug trafficking on the streets of Baltimore. Thinking and posed, the man takes lessons in economics and rationalizes traffic like any other business , to the point of seeing it as a gateway to the “real” business world, which will nevertheless Violent STOP. In his quest for power, String ‘will get angry with the bad people, including Omar and Mouzone who lead him in season 3. Too bad, his character still had so much to give …
We had to bump who instead? Avon Barksdale.
Shane Walsh (The Walking Dead)
The mano a mano between Shane and Rick is the main frame of the first two seasons of The Walking Dead with in climax the fight to death between the two heroes. On this subject, actor Jon Bernthal, who plays Shane, revealed that there was an alternative version of his death. In the final duel in the woods, Rick kills him with a knife before he wakes up in a zombie. So far, everything happens as in the series. But then, Rick had to take Shane’s gun and shoot at him, realizing that the gun was not loaded. Shane had not come to kill him. Proof that the former deputy sheriff still had good and a margin of evolution for the following episodes …
We had to bump who instead? Carl (yeah, it’s free).
Gustavo Fring (Breaking Bad)
Perhaps one of the most charismatic villains in the history of TV series. Gustavo, it’s a chartered accountant to whom you would give the good Lord, if beside that, he ordered no executions between two chicken menus in Los Pollos Hermanos. Attention to detail, his death has become a cult cult element. We would have liked her to intervene a little later …
We had to bump who instead? Hmmm …. Gustavo, not the choice.

Review of the few survivors of the literary saga of the “Iron Throne” who nevertheless died wrongly in the HBO series (Attention SPOILERS!)
It will not have escaped you that the blockbuster series “Game of Thrones” is adapted from the literary saga “The Throne of Iron” of good old George R. R Martin, who has already written 5 volumes, waiting for the last two. And as dab ‘in this kind of exercise, the showrunners Daniel Weiss and David Benioff took some liberties with the original material, especially regarding the end of some characters . Several deaths of the series are still alive in the books. Well, maybe it’s also a reprieve before George ends them eh.
Jeyne Westerling / Talisa Stark
Talisa is one of the few characters remodeled for the needs of the series. In novels, Robb’s girl is called Jeyne Westerling, and did not meet her half on a battlefield as a nurse. She is a girl of great family (La Maison Westerling). All the scenes of romance between her and the “King of the North” in season 3 were created from scratch . Another difference of size: she was not present the evening of the “Nuptials Purple” , nor even pregnant …
Roose and Walda Bolton
In the series, the Bolton Family is massacred by this bastard of Ramsay, who wants to ensure the lineage solo. He first deals with daron Roose by stabbing him dully, before reserving a horrible punishment to his mother-in-law and his baby brother-in-law, who will end up devoured by the dogs . Crimes absent from books.
Shireen Baratheon
The poor little girl was sent to the stake by her fanatical father and the Red Witch in episode 9 of season 5, who thought that this offering would put the Master of Light on their side. While in books, Shireen stayed at Chateau-Noir with her mother, while Stannis went to the front. But many fans think that the showrunners Daniel Weiss and David Benioff (in consultation with George RR Martin) have just taken a little ahead of the books, and that it is likely to happen the same fate to the girl …
Selyse Baratheon
Logically, Selyse did not fuck in the air after the sacrifice of his daughter, since he has not (yet) arrived. Stannis’s wife waits his turn wisely at Chateau-Noir.
Stannis Baratheon
In the Baratheon family, I ask the nth brother who claims the Iron Throne. This good old Stannis, who has made his daughter blaze for nothing, since he had the face of the tronche by the troops of Ramsay Bolton, before being finished by Brienne. Again, events could happen again in the books, where Stannis was left in a big galley at the end of “A Dance With Dragons” , who was trapped by the blizzard when he counted Take Winterfell out of Bolton’s hands.
Mance Rayder
For having refused to pledge allegiance to King Stannis, Mance Ryder, “The King Beyond the Wall,” is condemned to the stake in the first episode of season 5. His sufferings will still be alleviated by Jon Snow, who Shot an arrow in the heart. The scene of the pyre exists in the novels, but it is learned much later that the victim was not Mance Rayder, but the Lord of the Bones, otherwise called Rattleshirt (he died under the blows of Tormund in the series). The witch Mélisandre made her take on the appearance of Mance …
Barristan Selmy
Fans of Barristan, who despaired of his death in the middle of season 5, can still take refuge in the books. The good man was not massacred by the dissident group of “Sons of the Harpy” . On the contrary, Daenerys ‘s devoted right hand assumes his duties as Queen’s Hand, especially when the latter has disappeared , making him the interim leader of Meereen.
Myrcella Baratheon
In both cases, the biological daughter of Cersei and Jaime Lannister is the victim of plans that have messed up. With a slightly stronger penalty in the series since she died poisoned by Ellaria Sand, who wanted revenge for the death of her brother, Prince Oberyn. While in the tome “A Feast for Crows”, the girl is in the middle of a stratagem of Ariane Martell who aims to put her on the Iron Throne at the death of her brother Joffrey . But the plan will run short when the conspirators are captured: one of them, Gerold Dayne will try to kill Myrcella, who will still escape, but totally disfigured.
Catelyn Stark
“What? She was not dead during the Purple Nouces?” . Technically though, whether in the series or books. But the matriarch Stark did not say his last word. In “The Iron Throne”, she resurrected through the Bannerless Brotherhood in the form of a vengeful soul named Lady Stoneheart . A return to business that seems unlikely in the case of the series, even though his adopted son has already made us the coup in the last season …
