Next thing you know, they'll be resorting to cheap theatrics like an assassination attempt.

Well at least they had a reason for killing off Fitz: as I mentioned in the spoiler Amos has his own show now. I'm sure it would be a pain to keep him around and I would rather have closure with the character anyway.

yeah, but why did they need to killl him? he already had his own show at the beginning of the season. that is why he was replaced as chairman by terry o'quinn.

Yup, because they never killed anyone off for a cheap end of season emotional pay-off in the first couple of seasons...

Nope, just bringing a little perspective to the thread...
Yes, I hate what TWW has become this season.
Yes, I think it should be put out of its misery.
But let's face it - the show has never, under Sorkin or this season, been above emotional manipulation of its audience, and it's myopic to suggest otherwise.
