I wish they'd let us forget about him

Seriously, I don't want to be reminded about him. He wasn't the worst character but he was pretty limited. Killing him wasn't a mistake.

Re: I wish they'd let us forget about him

No offence meant, but all you people are missing something: This is the section of the Charlie forum that's set aside for people who dislike the character. If you like the character you're not supposed to post here. This is where people are supposed to come and say things like they wish Charlie was forgotten. This place isn't for you Charlie fans. If you don't like what I'm saying, well I'm not saying it for you.

Alex being killed is very different from Charlie being killed. Alex was a good character who should have been kept around. Charlie was an annoying little twerp whose death was overdue. There's nothing hypocritical in what I've said. Hypocrisy is when you pretend to attitudes you don't have. I'm not pretending to anything. It's not like I said I think they shouldn't kill characters. It's only good characters who I think they shouldn't kill when the show so badly needs good characters. Charlie was hardly a good character. Big difference between Charlie and Alex. It's not like me being angry that Alex died means I'm not allowed to be glad about bad characters being killed. Do you want a list of the characters I want dead? It's long. The show has plenty bad characters who would have been far better choices for killing than Alex. And characters who were once good have become tired cliches. Alex was a great character in a show that needed good characters. And Alex being killed has caused me to have a lot less patience for all the things and characters that have gotten on my nerves on the show.

In the first episode of this season we had to get Hurley acting like a prize jerk over Charlie dying. Meanwhile Alex didn't get to say a word. When I go to read what happened in The Shape of Things to Come, people are all worked up about Claire mumbling Charlie's name and there's not half enough anger over Alex's death.

Quote:
Well I guess by that logic we can go ahead and forget all the characters on the show that have been killed, including Alex.
No that doesn't follow. Charlie was forgettable. Alex wasn't. It's not like I said "we should forget all the characters who died". I said we should forget Charlie, because he was annoying.

Quote:
And seriously why are you even complaining? That's basically what happened on the show already.
See the second paragraph of my answer to widmorefun. Alex should have been made a regular long ago. I'm sick and tired of screen time and attention being wasted on inferior regular characters while Alex gets hardly any screen time.

But hey, all the above doesn't mean I can't have sympathy for you guys losing Charlie. But sympathy doesn't mean I don't think he should have been killed and it doesn't mean I want to hear lots about him when Alex should be the topic. Nobody enjoys losing characters. So I'm sorry you guys had to lose a character, but this is the Charlie-bashing part of the site where people are supposed to express anti-Charlie feelings and that's what I'm doing.

Re: I wish they'd let us forget about him

Sum1Lost... sorry if I started the whole argument thing with my first post on liking Charlie. I did not mean for it to start anything.

I agree with you that Charlie and Alex's deaths are completely different. I sure hope the writers give Alex a great funeral scene like they did for Colleen Pickett.


Do you think the others will invite the losties to attend???? --joke---

Re: I wish they'd let us forget about him

Just FYI, it is against the rules to post in here arguing why you like the character. Trust me, I've gottten in trouble in the Locke forum.

There is NO debating in this section. If you like the character, please post about it elsewhere on the board. There are plenty of places to post about how much you like a character, the I'M JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU sections are not the place to do it.

Re: I wish they'd let us forget about him

It appears that I need to add a note to kitten's post above. The "Not That Into You" board is for what you don't like about the CHARACTER. In addition to not being a place for debate, it is not for a) what you don't like about the ACTOR or b) insults about people who DO like the character. There is no appropriate place on this board for either of the last two, since they violate our rules on rudeness to VIPs and to other posters, and those posts will be edited or deleted outright.
