Writing a fanfic about a particular character then turning on the TV and seeing the actor who plays that character playing another character... and then that character gets killed.
I hate it when an actor I like plays a character that gets killed. I almost hate to watch Michael Shanks in new roles due to that. But, I still watch him...
...and that differs from his role as Daniel Jackson how, exactly?
(FYI, at the Sanctuary panel at SDCC, Amanda Tapping said that he keeps insisting that his character in that show could have survived and could always come back, LOL, but IDK if there are any firm plans for that)
It's such a downer, especially if the person's role wasn't a long one. Even worse is when they play a bad guy then die.
I recall this one role Joe played where he was this serial killer with powers, but the reason he was a serial killer was that anytime he was around others with super powers it caused him excrutiating pain. We were supposed to really dislike the guy but all I felt was sorry for him, and it made his demise sad and pathetic rather than satisfying.
