It has gotten to be a fad to kill a recurring character on a TV show. It seems like when "Game of Thrones" did it, it somehow made for good TV. I'll admit that this Finn story line dealt with some interesting themes, and the finale was gut wrenching. But to lose Thomas Mcdonell for the rest of the series just wasn't worth it to me. I really like the show, but it was seeing Thomas as Finn that got me excited each week. I'm not sure I can keep watching because I'll be looking for Finn and he won't be there.

Jason Rothenberg got all those kudos for that finale. He bragged that he did what was not expected. What he did was put Thomas out of work and cheat his fans out of seeing him each week. Rothenberg said that he and the other writers feel our pain. He has no clue how bad I feel. If he did, he wouldn't have done it. I wonder if he was just looking for a way to drop Finn from the show because they couldn't figure out what else to do with him. That's lazy writing. I may be over the top, but this was just brutal for me.
