Save the life of a movie character who didn't deserve to die the way they did.

Can I kill someone off who should’ve died? I’d make it so Thomas Magnum stayed dead, and didn’t come back for Season 8.

I only saw it once when it first came out, I didn’t remember what Dalacroix did to land him in the ol’ electric chair. I also forgot John died at the end movie, (I thought he passed down his illness to the guy who didn’t wet the sponge… or was he electrocuted? Now that I think about it, wasn’t it the warden’s wife with the illness or something? Did we see John get the chair?)

All I remember really, is how hard it was to watch Delacroix get electrocuted. I was mad as hell, and my eyes were welling up.

It effected me so much I never saw the movie again. So I would change my choice, (knowing he burned people alive, and ultimately John died)… I just didn’t remember bits of the movie that would have allowed me to make a more informed decision.

I still can’t watch that movie again. I remember it tottaly got me in a mood.

Sorry, gossip accepted as fact, Joss killed Wash. [Page 7]

Yep.

But as for Wash- 'twas Hollywood killed him. You know you cant have a happy monogamous hetero couple for very long. Something must end that travesty!:rolleyes:

A base canard. That hack-wrttien travesty that shits on the good name of a great childrens fantasy has no part in the true History.

I admire that man greatly but it was his King that killed him by putting him in that damned job, which was no place for a honorable man…with the political sense of a chipmunk.

Ben in Night of the Living Dead. He died pointlessly because George Romero couldn’t think of an ending.

I’d save him by having the police officers have half a brain.

[hijack] That dude apparently wasn’t acting - what else but brain damage explains the fact that said dude is IRL voluntarily dating Omarosa!?!?!!:eek:[/hijack]

Oops-missed the edit- I thought that was John Coffey, like the drink.

Anyways, jam that hunter’s gun and let Bambi’s mom get away!

Cinematic universe, huh?
OK, I’ll need a 5 pound bag of sugar, a sharp knife and someone ninja enough to sneak into and out of an RAF airfield (since sugar is rationed in WWII, my operative may need to stop in 1970 to pick up the sugar). MY plan is to disable the plane at the end of The Glenn Miller Story so that Jimmy Stewart doesn’t fly off and disappear into the mists of WWII and leave poor June Alyson crying in grief on Christmas.

Poor June Alyson. Her weeping makes me sad.

If you need to balance the scales somehow, please have Rose fall off the raft at the end of Titanic and join her lover in a forever icy embrace

The Dobby talk reminded me- can I go and save whichever one of the Weasley twins it was that needlessly died off screen?

Mainly because I once spent half an afternoon winding up my housemate by detailing the surviving twin’s sad decline, (oh right, it was Fred that died, not that it in any way matters) after his heart just goes out of the jokes business after the death of his twin, leading to his bankrupcy, and how he wound up living on the street in Nocturn Alley, before disappearing into the muggle world and presumably dying a sad and lonely death. I got a little too detailed, and now I can’t get it out of my head…

Anyway, it should be pretty easy: I’ll just lock them both (just to prevent the ol’ switcheroo) in a broom cupboard or something until the big fight’s over.

If you ever get a chance, pick up “A Barnstormer in Oz” by Phillip Jose Farmer. There are many things in Oz that make no sense, even in a fairy tale, Farmer makes a stab at explaining it all in a very interesting story. Yah, Glinda is the baddest witch in all the land, but she has to be.

I’m going to grab Seito and Setsuko and adopt them or something. I don’t even need a SWAT team, just a transporter. Grave of the Fireflies killed me.

Yes, I know we only get one. Um. One of you John Coffey folks get over here; he doesn’t need to be saved more than once!

The driver in Ronin. The nicest of the bunch did not deserve to die that way. Neither did the ice skater, but if I can only save one in the movie, she loses because of her terrible taste in men.

Oh, if I’m already in the Jurassic Park world, do you mind if I run over and free the third raptor from the fridge? I know, I just killed a raptor to save Robert Muldoon, but dying by slowly starving in a fridge is a sad way to go.

In which bullet shot by Warren (boo hiss) is at a different enough angle to miss anything vital of Tara’s. But say it still wounds her and still sprays Willow’s white blouse with blood. While caring for wounded Tara (who gets better before long, as always), Willow then faces a starkly dichotomous question: Go Dark anyway (because Tara’s hurt and it pisses her the everloving hell off), or decide that the only way Tara can ever be healed is by completely giving up Witchcraft?

Which way do you think that would go?

Haley Joel Osment’s character in Pay It Forward.
Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke.

I’ll be damned. I’m not the only one.

I would save Ensign Sito Jaxain the ST:TNG episode Lower Decks. If you’ll remember, she was involved in the Nova Squadron incident at Starfleet Academy in 2368. After her eventual graduation from the Academy, Picard requested she be posted to the Enterprise. Supposedly, he wants her to have the opportunity to prove herself in actual duty after her scandal at the Academy. He then proceeds to be a real ass toward her. After treating her like crap, he then manipulates her into volunteering for a mission, that if it goes according to plan, will be incredibly painful and unpleasant for her. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go well and she ends up getting killed. Jaxa is a flawed Bajoran, but she doesn’t deserve the crappy treatment she receives, nor being coerced to “volunteer” for a one-way mission just so she can impress Picard, who is being a real prick.

I would save her by having Riker convince Picard that this is an awful idea and never going to work. Besides, we can’t just ship this girl off to be killed. I would examine the situation and come up with a better plan.

I would save Mr. Roberts. Let the captain or Ensign Pulver die instead.
