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.
