The Sunday Seven

Today's Sunday Seven asks "Name seven TV character deaths that stand out as being shockers."

Henry Blake on MASH is the obvious first choice.

Eden on "Heroes" was a definite surprise (although it was cool).

Tasha Yar on "Star Trek: TNG" was a shocker. It was actually a great death, serving as a reminder that it's dangerous out there. Of course, it being TNG, they wimped out on it later. (Can't put that all on the crappiness of TNG. Paramount had already ruined Spock's noble sacrifice by the time the puddle of goo killed Tasha.)

Maude Flanders on "The Simpsons."

The chick who fell into the elevator on L.A. Law.

Trip on "Enterprise."

Lt. Tomlinson on "Star Trek," because you just figured that Spock would save him rather than the racist Stiles. My memory may be faulty, though; maybe Tomlinson was already dead.
