After recent events on Sanctuary the topic came up amongst my friends of "should characters be killed". OK, I might of started it back in the second podcast when Martin made the mistake of saying you have to be able to kill characters and my immediate and strident reply was NO YOU DON'T!! Then after comments in the 3rd podcast, I wanted to grill TPTB on Why The Hell Did You Kill Ashley?!?!?!?
Well I know I can't grill TPTB on their reasoning but we do have a wide variety of opinions here on the forum so I thought we could discuss the pros and cons of killing characters on a TV series (as opposed to movies or mini series) specifically in relation to Sanctuary and differentiating between main and guest/supporting characters. Basically, 16 episodes into the series and we have three deaths already. What is your stance on the deaths and how will it likely affect your viewing of Sanctuary? What is your stance on any main characters in the future being killed?
Here's a few guidelines for this thread :
OK everyone - have at it!!
Details of episode 2x04 Hero and beyond MUST be in spoiler tags

Here's a few guidelines for this thread :
- No spoilers for future episodes, that means until an episode airs in the UK any details about the episode MUST be put behind spoiler tags. To be safe I'll update this first post with episodes not requiring spoiler tags.
- This is not a Save Ashley thread nor a Keep Ashley Dead campaign thread, if you want to jump on the campaign trail, take it to another thread.
- No bashing TPTB or name calling, feel free to disagree vehemently or passionately agree with them (or anything in between) but keep it civil and explain why you feel/think as you do.
- Keep the discussion related to Sanctuary, don't derail the thread by harping on what has happened in other shows.
OK everyone - have at it!!
