TV meme - skip to the end...

I’m not going to do the 30-day TV meme. It would drag on too long and some of the questions I wouldn’t be able to answer. I will, however, give my answer for the last question:
Day 30 - Saddest character death.

I thought of Tara, Fred, Joyce, Janet Fraiser, Caitlin Todd, Jenny Shepard, Daniel Jackson (several times!), Spike, Nick Cutter, Hu San-niang’s sister, and of several others. In the end, however, there could only be one winner.

Egeria.

An ugly, two-foot long, parasitic snake who appears only in one episode of Stargate SG-1. Yet her appalling fate, and the way she forgives those responsible even as she dies, ripped my heart out.

And when I encountered a Buffy crossover fic at TtH in which Egeria is portrayed as a villain I erupted into such incandescent rage that even now, months later, I haven’t calmed down enough to be able to leave a non-abusive review.
