shipperxReactions to last night's week's Hex (ah the beauty of fauxVo, where TV waits until you get around to it.)
Anyway, reaction: I was not expecting that.
They killed Cassie. Not that I'm bothered or upset or anything, it's just unusual to kill off your main protagonist.
Someone somewhere said that the thing about Hex is that it feels like it should be more interesting than it is. I thought that summed it up perfectly. I mean, they do some daring things. They had their protagonist try to have an abortion, they've now killed her off, etc. Still, my reaction to Cassie's death was a shrug and "Oh well, I liked Thelma better anyway."
The other thing is that I'm sure I'm supposed to feel Cassie's overwhelming attraction to Azazeal and I quite simply don't. Yeah, he's hot. But I've never seen any kind of real relationship with him other than sex and as such, I always shrugged the relationship off. Which, I suppose, is fine since that story appears to be over (what with Cassie dead and all).
Far and away the best thing about the show is Thelma who is plucky and whose dilemma really does have some interest to it in that if she manages to destroy Malachi she ends up negating her own existence. That's an interesting character dilemma.
Hex would make a fairly good BtVS fanfic crossover, though. I could see a Willow/Thelma pairing. God knows there are a million things more compelling in Thelma than there ever was in Kennedy.
