King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) begins choking as he talks to Lady Margery (Natalie Dormer) at their wedding and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) watches on.
At the risk of sounding a little bloodthirsty, it can be fun to watch bad people die on TV. When a show is fictional, and some characters really go out of their way to be terrible people, it’s only natural that some catharsis can come from their demises. Thankfully, television shows in the past couple of decades have been more than willing to punish characters with death, and that goes for both good and evil individuals.
In the second season of Buffy, Angelus, Spike, and Drusilla use a purportedly indestructible demon known as the Judge to wreak havoc and bring about the world’s destruction. However, the prophecy surrounding the Judge’s apparent indestructibility to weapons didn’t take into account modern-day anti-tank weapons, which Buffy uses to decimate the Judge as he’s going about a rampage. For good measure, she also kicks the Angelus in the crotch right afterward, which was also well-deserved.
But season 5 introduced viewers to Todd Alquist and his uncle, Jack Welker, the latter of whom was the ruthless leader of a Neo-Nazi gang, both of them outdoing Walt in terms of villainy to the point where Walt earns a sliver of redemption by taking Jack and his gang out in the show’s finale.
It takes until the second episode of the show’s fourth season, “The Lion and the Rose,” for Joffrey to finally get killed. It’s satisfying and was a long time coming, but the death’s catharsis may be a little undermined because he dies in his mother’s arms… and even if his mother is also a fairly awful person, that would be a pretty terrible thing for anyone to experience.
