Even tho he wasn't technically dead, Buffy didn't know that, so we could count Angel.... I could so twist this topic soooo many ways *g*

I have been thinking about this, and wanted to ask, are we only referring to people who stayed dead?
I had thought of Angel too. His death was quite devastating even if he didn't stay dead.
And of course Buffy herself, particularly death number 2 in The Gift.
And Spike in the finale.
This goes off in a whole different direvtion perhaps.

Maybe it's just me but I think the added possibilities make things much more interesting. However, if we are including those who did not stay dead I will have to repost my list, and also plead to make it 5 instead of 3.

I guess the problem I have is that the list would changed based on specifications.
Heh I should probably duck skitty, but Spike's death didn't mean squat to me. Maybe because I hated the character so much by that point, or maybe because we all knew he was going to Angel... of course we could consider how knowing he would be showing up again impacted the reaction to his death....

OK Here are the ground rules.
1. It has to be someone who died. Thats it. Human or not. If they came back then they still count since they died in the first place 2. List your top 5 instead of 3

My final list under the new rules
1. Buffy 2. Angel 3. Tara 4. Fred 5. Joyce
This was still quite difficult to me, but I finally made a decision. Honorable mentions to Spike, Wesley, and Cordelia. I really wanted to put Spike in the top 5, but I feel like his death really only impacted Buffy(and some fans like me). Plus since the series was over we didn't get to experiance that impact. ETA: Darla as an honorable mention for killing herself for Connor's sake, and Jonathan because he was a good guy if misguided.

Ok, so we're not talking about how the death effected the fan base or the characters themselves specifically?

Ok, so we're not talking about how the death effected the fan base or the characters themselves specifically? Sure that works. This is a pretty free form panel based on YOUR opinion. When I used the word devastating I mean it from the context of your personal opinion. For example. If you think Kendra was the most devastating death it could be because you liked Biana Lawson and wanted to see more of her on the show or it could of been because you did not see it coming. You could say Tara for any number of reasons. It does not have to be specific to the storyline. This is a panel that I wanted to do because I wanted the entire board get involved and state opinion. Not facts.

Am I the only one thinking that we could spend the entire weekend just talking about this one topic? This is great already and it's not even here yet.

LMAO you're asking for OPINIONS. Boy are you ever gonna be sorry.
I guess I'd have to have 2 lists then...
First list for deaths most effecting the characters in no particular order...
Buffy Joyce Tara Jenny Angel
Nothing from Firefly simply because we never really got to see any of the fall out. Of course subject to change on my whims...
Second list, in no particular order, deaths that *I* felt most effected by for one reason or another...
Wash - *sob* That's all just *sob* Joyce - "She was a nice lady" Jonathan - I love my Danny Fred - "Why can't I stay?" Angel - "Close your eyes."
Honorable mention to Tara because I liked her, but I think the reaction was diminished because we all knew it was coming.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who thinks they could continually change their minds about this. I guess it's because I have some sort of opinion about every death I remember whether it affected me personally or how I perceive it affected the show or the characters. Depending on the moment I'm thinking about it the list varies, but I can pretty much stick to the ones I posted before. I think.
