I just hate whedon for randomly killing characters, i mean what did killing off buffy’s mother do practicaly nothing, like half the time killing off characters doesn’t add anything expept more hatred to some fans.
oh and i don’t think buffy should be at the top.
I AM just soo anoyed that Wash JUST Dies like wtv like he didn’t even mather.

@Donald: As mentioned above, the list is in chronological order by series. It’s not ranked.

The idea of putting the list in chunks is weird. And I have to disagree with the ordering. The worst Joss deaths are the ones that are astoundingly sudden, and happen to characters everyone likes: Joyce, Tara, Penny, Wash. Joyce especially, given the fact that the episode with her death made me cry more than Jurassic Bark.

[...] she who is the most beloved of Esti Gusev, another central character. Wow. Am I actually gonna pull a Joss Whedon & kill off such an important character? Not an easy thing for a softie like me to do, but… [...]

Hm, although I wouldn’t count the “The Wish” death since that’s not part of the main continuity’s reality (otherwise, you could say they’re all dead infinity times over, if you went through enough AUs), I guess I never really thought about her gunshot wound being truly fatal. I didn’t actually remember her flatlining (it’s been a couple years since I last watched the ep), but if she did, then you’re right, that should count.

Buffy was actually killed four times. In addition to the two mentioned she was killed by the Master in The
Wish in season 3 (although in another dimension) and by a gunshot and very briefly flatlined in season 6.
