I did see it coming at the last minute, but I was hoping she was only making it "look" like she had killed him, that it wasn't that deep. I had heard that Thomas Mcdonell was on set of episode 9, so I thought  Finn was still alive. Stupid me. No matter how good all this stuff might be artistically, it can never matter more to me than seeing Thomas Mcdonell each week. He grabbed my heart and that's where I lived. I can't imagine the show without Finn, and I can't  help being cut up inside over not having him to look forward to.

I hate that writers are doing this so much now. The writers were so uncompromising that they were willing to put Thomas Mcdonell out of a job. If they'd do that, they weren't going to care about hurting his fans. No matter how well it worked in the story, (and I'm not convinced that death was the only answer), I wish they hadn't done it. I might be selfish in this, but I'd have been happier with old fashion TV that wouldn't dare kill a major character. TV shouldn't make you feel this bad.
