I wouldn't say it made me ill, but I hated it when C.D. Parker was killed on Walker, Texas Ranger. Trivette wanted first crack at those who took him out.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Sadly they got to Trivette first.

Glenn and Abraham's death in season 7 made me feel kind of sick as did Lori Grimes death on The Walking Dead.

IDK if I was physically ill, but I cried like, Kim Kardashian tears when whatever "genius" wrote the Back to The Streets of San Francisco made-for and killed off Steve Keller. F that guy.

Right away I thought of Susan on Seinfeld.

Somehow the show thought it would be oh so amusing to see her die from envelope poisoning. Oh my gosh, what a knee slapper! :rolleyes:

I remember how disgusted I felt at those characters and their lack of empathy at a young woman dying. Especially George. If anything she was way too good for him.

That episode was even worse than the legendarily awful series finale for me. :(

Thank you, Torgo. :wave:

I was a George fan, don't get me wrong but this particular episode just crossed the line.

I disagree. I couldn't stand Susan.She was a pushy broad. But to say they've had no empathy, have you seen the show?

Remember the defective wheelchair? Or when there was a fire and George pushed everyone out of the way? Or Kramer telling that girl she needed a nose job?

They did it constantly.

That was hilarious snark, mets82!

Yeah, they were all such humanitarians. ;) :lol: :wave:

I think if you get physically ill from anything that happens to a fictional character on a TV show, you're in trouble.

The only time I'm that affected is if the actor actually died.

Funny story. When Seinfeld was on originally I never watched it then when it was on syndication I started watching it and now its the funniest show I have ever seen. I always say yada yada yada now. As for the original question I did feel sick when J.R. Ewing died on Dallas and Larry Hagman the man. As an avid watcher of Dallas throughout my childhood and was a fan it did make me very sad.

Somebody mentioned getting physically ill from some fictional death is an indicator of a problem, but some video - literature deaths can make me cry like a blind dog in a meat market. Recently, I watched Baa Baa Black Sheep's season two episode, "Fighting Angels," where Nurse Commander "Dotty Dixon" is killed in action, because the nurses could not be evacuated, when the Japanese Commandos overrun the camp on Vella La Cava.

Another character's death that came premature was "Ranger Marcus Cole," on Babylon 5. He was so in love with "Commander Susan Ivanova" that when she was near-fatally injured, he hijacked a White Star to beat it back to B5, where he extracted some mothballed alien device that had been used for healing. Good plan, but needed somebody to monitor the life energy transfer from a donor to the patient. Without one, the device draw it all out of the donor. So, Cole saved his girl, but paid the ultimate price.

However, movie depicted deaths, based upon true accounts, can take a lot out of me. When I watched The Stoning of Soroya M, I got the jim jams. I had studied Computer Graphics imagery sources, and DVD extras on how such effects was done, but the impact still rattled my cage for a fortnight.

Both The Alamo movies get to me. The 1960 is a good movie, good music, but lousy history, while the 2004 would be a window in time, except for the cockup locating the Alamo Chapel too far forward in the compound.

The movie Midway deserve an honorable mention. The old combat footage that Mirisch used, both U.S. and Japanese, show Buffalos and Zeros going splat or splash, and no CG or miniatures making the shot. Many of them were flown by living pilots, whose end the viewer see on the screen.

There's a difference between crying at a sad movie and becoming physically ill. Plus I specified 'fictional characters' which real soldiers in war footage are not. :rolleyes:

You are right, Babalu. My eyes missed the fictional character requirement. And what does "becoming physical ill" mean? I would think that require hurling chunks or something more than eyeball water leakage. My experience with anything resembling physical disturbance was Not from something fictional.
