As big a Trekkie as I am, I've got to disagree with that one. It packed absolutely zero dramatic punch. They kill her early in the episode and you suspect she's not really dead ('cause it's Trek and they do these things) then it slowly settles in over the course of the episode which has nothing to do with Tasha so you're not really thinking about it and when they have her memorial service in the end you're just left to go, "oh, she's really dead? darn..."




I suppose one's mileage will vary. I was only 12 at the time, and when it happened, I was completely surprised.

Meh who needs fiction when you got


Christine Chubbuck



Terrorists killing thousands in the WTC, terrorists taking the Russian theater hostage, Madrid the police raid an Arab appartment and they blow themselves up in a suicide explosion, Mumbai...

Then you had 24/7 coverage of Bush invading Iraq



Shuttle Challenger going boom after Reagan's teacher in space speech was pretty shocking

Way to miss the point of the thread, then. Bravo.

PN - er, I mean "Jaynez" - has serious issues discerning reality from fiction. He thinks the movie "Conspiracy Theory" is a documentary, and thinks the real world is all scripted.

'Course, he also uses a whiskey flask for a walkie-talkie and a broken lawnmower for a Segway.

Just sayin'.

I was 20-something, and it shocked me something fierce, I'll tell ya.
Still, Jenny Calender takes the cake for me.

I think I screamed when Jenny got it. And I *KNOW* I screamed when Riley did Spike with the stake in the heart! Luckily it was a plastic stake made to LOOK like wood, but I still screamed "NO!!!" - and alwyas kinda hated Riley more after that.

I had pretty much the same reaction when Wash died, too. And Tara. Joyce I kinda saw coming, but then kinda not, too. I didn't scream, but mighta gotta little weepy.

Didn't see most of those.
Agree with ER.
Dan Conner died? Somebody on NCIS?

All those detectives dying on NYPD Blue, no mention? Like Ricky Schroeder?

No votes for Max Guevera?
