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. To that I would like to make the sidenote that the 100 promoted Lindsay & Ricky to main cast, meaning more money for them to pay. I'm not saying this is the reason why Thomas's character was killed off, but it is more beneficial thing for the CW (Well, WB actually).

In regards to Thomas, his carreer and his fans ; It's the world of hollywood. You know they can kill anyone off on basically any tv show these days, unless you're on one of those sitcoms that go on for a century. His fans will surely be dissapointed, but only watching for Thomas/Finn's storyline is such a shame. The show has so much to offer, even without Finn it'll keep the action and storylines going (Finn's death will be a mayor factor on Clarke's character development, just saying)

TV is meant to entertain fans, but its also meant to tell a story, and a message. Something that the 100 succeeds in both in a great way :)
