Why do my faves always catch it

[nrgburst]

So Sarah Shahi had been downgraded to guest star from series reg for S4 of Person of Interest, and I've been super worried ever since I noticed. When I heard that there would be yet another "3 episode event" I became even more concerned. (Yes, we all remember exactly how Carter got killed off, CBS.)

Seriously 2015, this is how you're going to start my fandom year? It's only been a week or so since I last cried over a tragically dead fictional character. :((((((

Yes, I've seen the promo and also read these interviews that confirm that Shahi's exit was: 1. her choice since she's pregnant with twins and 2. that Shaw's return is possible.

But I am just so gutted. Shaw was my fave. Like I would 8000% prefer that Reese or Lionel got offed, but at least this time it wasn't "for the story"(i.e. to give Reese a return to manpain and then HER JOB.)

And yet another fan service kiss before the heroic ending, but this one had flirty subtext from the get-go in S2, so TAKE THAT all you "gay agenda" hating FB fans.

One thing I loved was how absolutely fearless she was as she looked death in the face. Such a contrast from when her cover was blown in 4x09:

Come back soon please, Shaw! The show really won't be as fun without her. :(

OMG I KNEW THAT WAS YOU. LOL I was like, wow those tags sound like Amber talking.

A couple weeks ago I msged 12 here and was like, why the radio silence on tumblr? You taking a break? You sick? And she's like, uh, I checked and you unfollowed me, you dweeb. So uh, yeah. I'M JUST AS GOOD AT IT. AND YOU HAVE EXCELLENT TASTE IN MARVEL THINGS SO :DDDDD

Yeah, I'm still so bummed. The snark is just not as good coming from the others, although they all get some good zingers for such a serious show. Things I will also miss: the constant eating and cool application of her sociopathy, knack for violence and flashy cars. Her fridge full of weapons and milk. How she planted bugs on the whole team, even Finch. How she looks up guns when she's on geek squad duty. SIGGGGHHHHHH.

Haha, so it's not just me. I know I was following you at some point because I remember seeing a lot of HTTYD stuff, so idk. I only noticed because I saw 12 reblogged something from you and there was the little plus icon next to your name and then I was like, "Wait...". XD It's nice to know my tags are so crazy you can tell it's me though. :P

I love Shaw because she's so unapologetic about who/how she is and the show hasn't tried to mould her into the ~right kind of woman. Because the characteristics she has are usually reserved for men and they then start to get ~fixed and rme. Some people are just fucked up, leave them be with that. The writers of POI do well with women, it's just keeping them on the show that seems to be the problem.
