"We can't kill this woman, she's astounding" -- I couldn't agree more with what was said of Sylvia by Mr Hayter himself after the revelation that they were going to kill Superion off. Wow.

Then again, this ties in with one of the many things I eventually want to talk about concerning what the show did or didn't do with its older cast and it's very interesting to see that... The older characters really were in peril and escaped death thanks to decisions made in the writers' room later on, mostly because they liked the actors so much. Narratively speaking, within the genre, it was very likely we'd see them go and these comments by one of the writers confirm it.

Good thing the show really didn't care about sticking to the conventional!

#i'm listening to the interview now. i wasn't going to but i got curious #kind of surprised anyone would think vincent's mother tattoo would be about superion rather than -- you know -- his actual mother #(or the theotokos of course. there's a virgin mary in there too if i recall the design)#a super traditional tattoo even the toughest tough men out there irl have but lol i suppose shippers will bend things to suit their purpose #anyway. i'm kind of shocked they were going to kill suzanne for real lol #i said this once and i'll say it again but they would have lost me if they had. i was ready to drop the show then and there i swear #i really need to get around to this essay. it's been on standby for months. months! but there are others to write before the adults one #and then there's fic and aaaaaaahhhhhh life is too short!!!#silly blabbering
