I have to admit I'm not a fan of the fact that there have been 4 consecutive fakeout deaths in a row counting Allen, especially when theyre going to fake-kill Angstrom in a few episodes. Having 3 was bad enough but once Kate comes back it will really weaken the "anyone can die" tone. Unless you count the Thraxans, I don't think a single named character has actually died since episode 1

I assume the point of saving Rae is to add another person we know for Rudy to kill off, but I really struggle to imagine her contribution to the story outweighing the damage it does. Its especially bad when they made her death so graphic and horrible. The ending of episode 5 is really cheap when all 3 of them just make it out after all. Unless they're planning on leaving Kate dead, which would be weird because even show-onlies have been questioning why she didn't just keep a body somewhere

I'm willing to bet that since there won't be as many characters included from across the comics for Rudy to kill off they're saving certain heroes for that.

But you think that will be season 5 at the earliest. He still kills shapesmith, cecil and black Sampson. They have plenty of times to add new characters without undermining the weight of the story

I don't think it's about killing her off later. I think it's that they don't have the rights to Brit for the show & they need to keep a character around to fill his role Invincible.

They can create someone called grit or something. I just think it undermines the show if no one dies

"cheapening her death" doesn't rhyme though
