World Enough and Time

The article Oh No! Ten Shocking TV Deaths didn't contain any deaths that shocked me because I'd never seen any of them except Joyce Summers on Buffy. But it made me think: what would be my list of the most shocking deaths? I suppose most of them would be on Torchwood alone. And death in comics, though frequent and dramatic, is seldom shocking, because the characters come back. Except, occasionally, when they don't.¹

Since I don't watch enough television to get ten deaths from that alone, I'll make it deaths in fandom, in general. And what the heck, I'll make it a picspam. ( Cut for those who don't want spoilers for miscellaneous shows, books, and comics. )
