I like mad scientists and balding football coaches

I wish they wouldn't kill people so easily in movies and tv. I saw Star Trek again last weekend, and I felt sorry for all the people in the ships that got blown off at the start of the movie. Wasn't that green skinned girl Kirk was making out with, in one of those vessels? So he's off doing his thing, and she's dead, along with hundreds others that Kirk went to school with. Can you imagine if half of the people you went to school with got wiped out like that?

And now I'm watching Fringe. At least I am safe in the knowledge that none of the main characters are going to die. That's what internet gossip sites are for, they tell you who's in what, and for how much longer, depending on whether the show will be picked up for the next season. The cast list at the start of the show is good for this also. But it's really those scenes at the beginning of the show, that makes me go "oh please, I hope you don't die..." and then they did.

I'm covering my eyes and looking away from the sceen until the usual casts come along. Thanks.

Oh look, they killed someone off at the middle of the show.
