I am a bit of a fan of ER and I thought it was so bloody stupid I started shouting at the TV. he's one of the best characters in that show, actually, scratch that, he is the best character in that show. I have no problem with killing him off, but doing so without a story line was just so pointless...

It seemed quite plain to me that the writers just had too many characters after introducing a load of new ones this series. They needed to remove some, so just decided to kill one off in a big stunt. Ah but for a twist, they seemed to think, lets make it ironic. The upshot is that it isn't believeable in the slightest and it also isn't especially moving. Effectively they wasted a good character. Or at least, thats my opinion.
