Pippin and Hope

[Ryan]

Datu's a complete basket case in my opinion. We've seen his mood swings and panic attacks render him completely useless at least twice so far, after Michael got separated from the group at the pump station and after Saaaamaaaanthaaaaaaaaa! was killed. The guy's not right in the head.

Backhand slap and datu's done. If Hope is shot or dead , then when she comes back and becomes a creature...no wait they already done that in the comics,these zombie stories are tricky.

Kill Hope - Make listeners realise that anybody can die.

I was listening to an interview with the creator of The Wire, and he said someone basically along the same lines. If you don't allow characters to die, the end viewers feel no peril.

Your right j0be and it also ties the listener in our case to the characters. We become invested in them we love them, we weep with them and bleed with them and laugh with them to lose them hurts but it cements the "listener/reader" to the story. It makes you want more, need more story. You just have to know what happens next. I admire any writer (props to K.c) for beating the hell out of his creation in the name of a good story. It takes guts and not always does the writer have enough of them to hurt something he too loves.

Early in the episode, there was a scene where i think Michael made a point of asking Victor why he was wearing so much cologne. It seemed a strange thing to bring up imo. If Hope has survived, i wonder if she will mention anything about a smell of cologne in the room when the shots were fired? Also, we dont actually know if Pippin is actually dead yet. I would think he is, but it would make things interesting if he lives wouldnt it?

Agreed. Look at Tommy.

If the reason and ramifications for the death is good enough, no character is safe! (Except for that Pete guy in the fanfic... that dude is totally never gonna die! EVER!)

For Pippin’s death, now I think Riley did it. When Kelly was listening to Pippin talk about some food that he had in England. He sounded like a food critic instead a sales man. Food critics often pretend to be somebody else to get and give an honest opinion. If you where a chef and you knew you had a food critic in your restaurant ; wouldn’t you want to prepare a top of the line dish. Riley was a French chef, maybe pippin gave Riley a bad review and she was upset over it. She did say to Michael that you can't please everybody your just have to know how to talk to them. When pippin was shot , Angel and Michael, said that it couldn’t be Riley cause she smelled like she was on a binder. They didn’t test her, they couldn’t have. Its easy to fake being drunk, and the smell could been easily done by taken a quick shot of the booze and then maybe throwing some on you to make the disguise complete . However, she could have a little under and still killed Pippin. When Burt and Riley where at the hospital in chapter 24, and Riley took swig and Burt try to stop her. She said that she won a bronze in computation while under the influence.
