30 Days of Television: Day 30…

SADDEST CHARACTER DEATH

Winifred Burkle (Angel).

“I need you to talk to my parents. They have to know I wasn’t scared, that it was quick. That I wasn’t scared. Oh, God … I’m not scared. I’m not scared. I’m not scared. Please, Wesley…why can’t I stay?”

There have been a lot of tragic deaths in the shows I watch, but the reason this one always sticks with me is because it wasn’t quick and painless or in the heat of battle. It was over the course of a whole episode, she knew it was coming, and she suffered. Fred wasn’t just important to one person, then important to others by association - she meant something to each of them. Angel saved her from ‘the monsters’. She shared a dislike for Pylea with Lorne. Gunn dated her and (to their detriment) killed a man for her. She saved Spike when no one else seemed to care. And she was the love of Wesley’s life.

   Of all the many deaths in the Buffyverse, this one was the worst for me. I’m not a big Fred fan at all, but her death...
