   Joss Whedon’s 5 Most Neglected Deaths   
      
   Gone but not forgotten? They should be so lucky.   
      
   [snip]   
      
   The sudden deaths of Joyce Summers and Tara Mclay reminded fans of Buffy the   
   Vampire Slayer not to take any character for granted, and it didn’t take   
   long for his other creations to follow suit. Fred in Angel, Wash in   
   Serenity, and even Penny’s heartbreaking final words in Dr Horrible’s   
   Sing-Along Blog all prove one thing; Whedon’s deaths aren’t just   
   inevitable,   
   they’re devastating.

   5. Jenny Calendar – Buffy The Vampire Slayer   
   Appearing as a guest in Buffy’s first season, but promoted to recurring   
   character in the second, it wasn’t long before Janna of the kalderash was   
   welcomed into the Scooby gang.   
   [snip]   
   Despite overcoming their differing views on computers and American Football,   
   it wasn’t a coupling without its ups and downs, particularly when her true   
   origins were discovered and she was excluded from the group.   
   A make up of sorts wasn’t far away however, with each of them declaring   
   their feelings for each other, only to be denied by Jenny’s fateful   
   encounter with a once more soulless Angelus. To make matter worse, he even   
   leaves her body at Giles’ apartment, in a romantic setting no less.

   4. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce – Angel   
   Just because it’s the final episode of a Whedon series, it doesn’t mean   
   you’ve   
   made it. Anya was present for over half of Buffy’s seven year run only to be   
   slain unceremoniously just ten minutes before the end of the finale.   
   [snip]   
   Of all the characters seen and loved throughout the various Whedonverses,   
   none had such an arc as Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. First seen as inept watcher in   
   season three of Buffy, he later went from rogue demon hunter to both leader   
   and betrayer of angel Investigations throughout all five seasons of Angel.   
   [snip]   
   Much more than any other, it is Wesley’s death that reminds us not just how   
   much growth and evolution there are in Whedon’s characters, but how much   
   more there could have been.   
      
   3. Bennett Halverson (Summer Glau) – Dollhouse   
   When it comes to Whedon deaths, it’s generally the most surprising that are   
   the most the shocking. Joyce relapsing after being ‘cured’ for example, or   
   Penny’s ‘leaving’ the room before Captain Hammer pulls the trigger. The   
   death of Dollhouse’s Bennett Halverson was even more surprising than these   
   combined however, equally as shocking, but far too often neglected in terms   
   of impact.   
   [snip]   
      
   2. Shepherd Book – Serenity   
   When it comes to death in Serenity, for some reason it’s all about Wash.   
   Yes, his death was the most shocking, no-one had a chance to say good bye,   
   and in many ways it was rather needless, but he wasn’t the only beloved   
   character to bite the bullet. Just because Shepherd  Book left Serenity that   
   is not to say he was no longer part of the crew, nor any less loved by the   
   fans. The fact that he gave his life trying to defend his colony is also   
   something that surely deserves more credit, and give his death more time in   
   the spotlight.   
   [snip]   
      
   1. Loo – Fray(?)   
   Whedon’s first foray into comics which is set some 200 years into the future   
   of the Buffyverse.   
   [snip]   
   While Whedon has never been one to shy away from using death as a   
   protagonist’s motivation, Loo is undoubtedly his most unfortunate victim.   
   She is also the best example of why, out of all Whedon’s deaths, there are   
   those remembered over others.
