The Most Horrible Things Done To Innocent TV Characters
Happiness and innocence must die! Check out UGO's list of the The Most Horrible Things To Ever Happen To Innocent TV Characters.
25
Peggy Olson Vs. The '60s
Blood of the Innocent: Elizabeth Moss of Mad Men
Fourth-season Peggy has certainly clawed her way up the corporate ladder, commanding much more respect than her fellow females, even if marginally less the more powerful male employees. But let's take a trip back in time to Peggy's first season, wide-eyed in the mad world of advertising.
Taught to offer herself to her boss, uncomfortably approached and seduced by a married man, sexually harassed, chastised for being fat (she was actually pregnant), and forced to give up the baby, which she barely acknowledges. Have a great summer!
24
Buster Bluth Loses Both His Hands...Probably
Blood of the Innocent: Tony Hale of Arrested Development
Buster wasn't the brightest bulb of the Bluths, but he represented innocence far more than his self-centered family members. Losing one hand to a loose seal (Lucille, it never gets old) seemed a harsher fate than most, but if the series finale was any indication the Bluth Byron's aquatic nemesis had returned to even things out.
Maybe we'll find out, if that movie ever happens.
23
Pretty Much Everything That Happens To Butters
Blood of the Innocent: Matt Stone of South Park
Jeez, what hasn't this poor kid been through? Ninja stars to the eye, sold into slavery, his near every waking moment with Cartman putting his life in moral danger, declared savior to Imaginationland, traumatized in near every way possible by causing dance-related deaths, uncovering his father's secret bathhouse life...
And it goes on like this.
22
Chloe Sullivan's Wedding...Sucks
Blood of the Innocent: Allison Mack of Smallville
Things don't bode well for Chloe.
An original creation outside of DC comics that remained the prominent sidekick of Smallville for nine seasons, the sweet-natured Chloe has been kicked around (and kicked back) quite a bit, but none so damaging as having her own wedding to the equally affable Jimmy Olsen interrupted by the monstrous Doomsday, kidnapped, and dragged to Antarctica.
Oh, and Doomsday later killed Jimmy. Happy honeymoon!
21
Kes' Whole Life is Terrible
Blood of the Innocent: Jennifer Lien of Star Trek: Voyager
What could be worse than a sweet little Ocampan girl's entire race being forced underground, only to find herself beaten and tortured by Kazons for venturing to the surface? Maybe the near-constant hell being on the Voyager crew inflicted on her physiology, or having her mind invaded by numerous alien presences, or disappearing into the universe only to return with the equivalent of god-like Alzheimer's.
Or perhaps that these people live to be nine years old.
20
The Whole Venture Family of Trauma Victims
Blood of the Innocent: James Urbaniak, Michael Sinterniklass and Christopher McCulloch of The Venture Bros.
We're not sure who had it worse. There are the titular twin protagonists, who in addition to their neglectful father dragging them from one dangerous mission to the other have faced death no less than 14 times.
Then again, there's also Rusty himself, the original boy adventurer, whose own father inflicted countless childhood traumas ranging from weekly kidnappings to constant emasculation. Tough call.
19
Tim Drake Becomes a Joker...Twice
Blood of the Innocent: Matthew Valencia of The New Batman Adventures
Let's be honest. Batman's sidekicks don't always have the greatest track records of...you know, living. And while Tim Drake of the DCAU continuity didn't share so grizzly a fate as Jason Todd, the events of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker seemed fairly dark for what started as a kid's show.
Still a boy, Robin finds himself kidnapped by the Joker and Harley Quinn, brainwashed, mutilated and tortured into becoming "Joker Junior," eventually overcoming his conditioning long enough to fricking shoot the clown prince of crime. The Joker would again commandeer the boy wonder's body in his middle age, implanted with DNA-overwriting nanotechnology. Bat-therapy, go!
18
Lucy Knight and Carter Check The ER, and Nothing Terrible Happens
Blood of the Innocent: Kellie Martin and Noah Wyle of ER
Similarly wide-eyed medical optimists Lucy Knight and John Carter found themselves in a mentor/mentee relationship that while tumultuous, ultimately enriched their promising careers.
Untill some guy stabbed her to death. And then he stabbed Carter, who promptly watched his mentee die in a pool of her own blood, and had resulting kidney problems for the rest of the series. Ouch.
17
Star Trek Really Hated Geordi LaForge
Blood of the Innocent: LeVar Burton of Star Trek: The Next Generation
16
Hiro Nakamura Fails At Everything, Starts Dying
Blood of the Innocent: Masi Oka of Heroes
Remember Future Hiro? The badass sword-wielding time traveler utilizing Masi Oka's natural voice that made us all eager for the future of Heroes?
Well, if Hiro failing to kill Sylar, failing to protect past love Yaeko, failing to save Charlie across multiple timelines, failing to save his father, being mind-raped to the age of 10, losing his powers and developing a terminal brain condition don't break that bubbly exterior of his, we dont know what would have.
15
Frank Grimes' Entire Life
Blood of the Innocent: Hank Azaria of The Simpsons
One of the first so-called "real people" to stroll through the town of Springfield, Frank Grimes suffered from the very beginning.
Only wishing to go about his way as a hard worker and model citizen, Frank found himself slowly driven insane by the town's acceptance of Homer's obvious deficiencies, snapping and waltzing toward one of the most gruesome deaths in Springfield history.
14
Claire Gets Kidnapped and Becomes Danielle Rousseau
Blood of the Innocent: Emilie De Raven of LOST
An unwanted pregnancy and a plane crash are tough. Then, how about getting violently injected with drugs and kidnapped by island natives? Sure they took care of her, but trauma is trauma.
And then, try being abandoned in the jungle for three years without her child, left to the wild to fend for herself? Or did she leave Aaron and wander off under the thrall of the Man in Black? We never cleared that up...
13
Everything Toki Wartooth Loves Dies
Blood of the Innocent: Tommy Blancha of Metalocalypse
As the most wide-eyed, innocent and naive member of a brutal death metal band, Metalocalypse has fairly well established that everyone and everything Toki loves will perish horribly.
The dying girl desperate to meet him? Dead, with maggots in her eyes before he got the chance. His favorite cat? Horrible feline cancer. Guitar Teacher? Emotional reunion with his dying father? Use your imagination. Poor bastards.
12
Degrassi's J.T. Gets It Together...Then Stabbed
Blood of the Innocent: Ryan Cooley of Degrassi: The Next Generation
We have sympathy for James Tiberius Yorke (yes, really), plucky comic relief to the Next Generation of Degrassi, even if he spiraled into selling drugs in order to support pregnant girlfriend Liberty, and eventually attempting suicide when things got out of hand.
After all that struggle, and on the cusp of a reconciliation JT finds himself unceremoniously stabbed to death by a group of random thugs peeing on his car. Poor lil' feller.
11
Rickety Cricket Should Just Stay Away From Paddy's
Blood of the Innocent: David Hornsby of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
We're thinking that sooner or later Always Sunny really has to kill Rickety Cricket. After building himself up into the good and innocent Father Matthew Mara, his prolonged interaction wth the Paddy's Pub gang has continued to devolve him into poverty, crack-addiction, and even most dangerous game.
I mean, what more can they do to the poor guy?
10
Gabrielle Gets Forcibly Impregnated, Then Kills Her Daughter...Like Twice
Blood of the Innocent: Renee O'Connor of Xena: Warrior Princess
Life's not all bad when you get to walk around with Lucy Lawless all day making googly eyes, but there's still the matter of all the mythological chicanery coming your way.
Take for instance, Gabrielle. Faithful companion. Initially peaceful woman. Until Callisto killed her husband the morning after the wedding, the subsequent bloodbath enabling a demon god to forcibly impregnate her. Then the child, as a vessel/aide to the demon grew to kill Xena's son, at which point Gabrielle felt no other choice but to poison the young lass.
Then later, she had to kill her again, throwing her into the pit of Dahak! And it didn't even work! And then they killed her again! Life is fun.
9
Avatar Aang's Entire Culture Dies
Blood of the Innocent: Zach Tyler Eisen of Avatar: The Last Airbender
As if it wasn't tough enough being selected at age twelve to be the savior of the Four Nations, try waking up after being frozen for 100 years to find your entire civilization, friends and family wiped out.
Oh, and let's not forget being mercilessly pursued by genocidal warlords bent on hurting you or your new friends to get to you. Have fun!
8
Hurley Was Actually Cursed
Blood of the Innocent: Jorge Garcia of LOST
See, that's just not fair. Just about everything Hurley touches goes horribly wrong, be it friends dying off, girlfriends running away, meteor strikes, houses burning down or good old fashioned love biting the bullet.
And all because the gentle giant won the lottery by pilfering some numbers during a tender time in an institution.
7
Doctor Who Gets Everyone Mind-Raped
Blood of the Innocent: David Tennant of Doctor Who
Life is tough enough as the Doctor, without having to wipe the mind of Donna Noble lest the Time Lord thoughts completely destroy her mind. Or how about that fun little prophecy of the "Four Knocks," wherein all of the Doctor's loved ones on Earth literally became overwritten as incarnations of The Master?
It's enough to make you want to explode into a whole new actor.
6
Jesse Pinkman Has to Shoot Gail in the Face
Blood of the Innocent: David Costabile and Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad
We'd say that Gail got the rougher end of the deal given Jesse got to live, but neither faired well in the exchange from "Full Measure."
A chemist meth-maker though he may have been, the sweet and innocent Gail simply died for being a pawn in a power struggle, as Walter pressures the repentant and misguided Jesse to gun down their replacement in cold blood to save his own skin.
This, after all that Walter's involvement in the drug game has already taken away from Jesse.
5
God Really Hates Dean Winchester
Blood of the Innocent: Jensen Ackles of Supernatural
Life is hell for the Winchester Brothers. Take Dean, who began the series relatively care-free and pleased with his life as a hunter and has found himself systematically broken, tortured, killed and re-killed, and guilted into responsibility for the deaths countless others, including his father and brother.
Oh, and he once went back in time and realized he caused his mother's death.
4
Every Single Person Dexter Knows
Blood of the Innocent: Julie Benz, Jennifer Carpenter of Dexter, others
Regarldless of innocence, the more time spent around secret serial killer Dexter Morgan will put you in harm's way. Take Debra, who's endured countless tragedy and loss on the trail of other killers connected to Dexter, her every happy relationship ending in kidnapping, death, or heartbreak.
And let's not forget poor Rita, the biggest casualty of Dexter's after-hours activities, who wanted nothing more than a loving family and a hot bath.
3
Veronic Mars' Family...Friends...Oy.
Blood of the Innocent: Kristin Bell of Veronica Mars
Ugh. We didn't even start the series before all the horrible tragedies befell Veronica Mars, the innocent young girl with an aptitude for investigation.
Just imagine how Harriet the Spy would have turned out if her mother died. And her best friend. And all her other friends. And then her home. Social status. Credibility. Dignity.
2
Battlestar Galactica: The Happiest Place (Not) on Earth
Blood of the Innocents: Kandyse McClure, Grace Park, Nicki Clyne, Alessandro Juiliani, etc
Battlestar Galactica just really loved torturing its characters. And yes, Grace Park's Boomer was indeed a Cylon who became a troubled villain later on, but the beginning had her inadvertantly triggered, shooting her beloved father-figure, attempting (and failing) suicide, shunned by her former friends and eventually gunned down in public.
Poor Callie wanted nothing more than an ordinary life on New Caprica with her husband and child, but was shot, nearly raped, and went mad with the knowledge of her husband's Cylon status. And when she calms down and decides against suicide for herself and her child, she gets blown out of an airlock for her trouble!
Dee consistently had to play second fiddle to her husband's real interest in Kara, and had her dreams of Earth shattered, ultimately putting a gun to her head! And poor Gaeta started out a cheery-eyed young do-gooder of an officer, before being forced to comply with Baltar's presidency, and had his leg shot off resisting Cylon collaboration. Admittedly, the mutiny and execution were probably his own fault.
When it came to Battlestar Galactica, innocence was practically a bullseye.
1
Joss Whedon Will Murder Everyone You Love
Blood of the Innocent: Just about every Woman of Whedon, Nicholas Brendon, Fran Kranz, Alan Tudyk...
Let us take a moment, to silently honor all the characters that Joss Whedon has inflicted horrible, horrible pain unto regardless of their guilt or innocence.
There was Willow, who on the verge of reconcilliation with the love of her life instead had her blood splashed all over her from a stray bullet. There was Tara, on the recieving end of said bullet who never hurt a fly.
There was Xander, who consistently attracted traumatizing women out to kill him, or wind up dead themselves.
Fred, an innocent librarian sent to a demon dimension for five years, and upon embracing her true love was (of course) ripped body and soul from our world by an ancient god.
Topher, who while at times morally ambiguous still didn't deserve to have his crush's brains splattered all over him, and condemn the world to apocalypse.
How about Sierra, placed in the Dollhouse against her will, and repeatedly raped while in the child-like Active state?
Or poor Wash? In short...The Avengers are f$%ked.
