    What makes their story so sad is the fact that they lost their mother so early and had their dad drift into this job the first place. Their family history is saddening.

    Jesse Pinkman - Girlfriend was left for dead by his partner/father figure, the boy he considers to be a son poisoned by his partner/father figure, years of emotional abuse and manipulation by yes you guessed it his partner/father figure. Beaten up way too many times, held hostage by Neo-Nazis (and forced to watch his girlfriend be executed) and frankly seeing how creepy Todd was god knows what else they did to him, manipulated into killing people, in and out of rehab. Disowned by his parents.


    Thankfully he got a chance of a happy ending in the finale but damn that boy has been through way too much over the course of just 2 years.

    Dean Winchester. He saw his mom die when he was 4. He raised his brother, supported and worked with his dad only to be unappreciated. He has a need for family and through most of the series they would walk out on him. He can never have what he truly wants. He has died for his brother. Gone to Hell for his brother. In season 4, Sam doesn't need him. In season 6, Sam doesn't let him know he's alive. In season 8, Dean is in Purgatory and Sam lives with some woman and never attempts find out what happened to him. Still, he gives up everything to protect and care for Sam.

    I voted Patrick Jane, but if I went with an other I would choose Emma. Orphan exsistence, finding her family but kind of too late, 'losing' Neal. The whole orphan thing in 3x02 was really sad. I mean they're things that can be fixed, but only with time and it's still a significant part of their lives gone.

    On that note... Snow had a pretty depressing start too! Losing her mum in such a cruel way, darkening her heart, losing her kid. The only thing that makes it better is Prince Charming. He's like that one thing that fixes everything. Otherwise things were looking pretty bleak...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Erin B.October 21, 2013 at 4:57 PM

    At least from the list- Patrick Jane, by a long shot. Not only due to being at fault for the brutal murders of his wife and young daughter, but his complete inability to move on from the loss and guilt that results in the downward spiral of sanity and obsession that also makes up his storyline.

    ReplyDelete
  42. magnutudeOctober 21, 2013 at 5:04 PM

    off this list, my vote goes to Peter from Fringe, (but he ends up with a happy ending eventually) off the list and perhaps overall - I'd have to go with the Winchesters from SPN - as it seems that despite all the loss that they have experienced (and it's been a lot), that both are fated by destiny to fight the good fight and achieve great things, but so far it feels that they wont get a happy ending...

    Well, I agree his life was really sad: he had an awful father, was royally deceived by the Man in Black and horribly murdered by Ben. But somehow, what he believed was kind of true (that the island had brought them there for a reason) and his faith in it was what made Jack come back, believe and fight for the good cause at the end. So that, although Locke's was a highly tragical fate, I would say his life had some purpose and his death wasn't a total waste at the end.

  50. Jim 108October 21, 2013 at 6:05 PM

    That's true, but from Locke's point of view I'd say his life was pretty horrible! Like Sebastiano said, he had been waiting for his ''destiny'', and it turned out his whole life was literally about his death. He became the leader of the Others, only for the Others to disappear. No one wanted to listen to what he had to say, and after he was talked out of killing himself, he was killed by that same person; someone who, in the end, was never really anybody either. Why? Because he was ''supposed'' to die, according to someone who really just needed his dead body to kill the people he cared about and end the world.


    That's not even mentioning his father showing up and pretending to love him until Locke was willing to give up his kidney for him. Or his father trying to kill him. Or him getting shot and left for dead.


    That being said... Game Of Thrones just takes it to a whole other level where tragedy is concerned! :p It must suck to be Catelyn Stark.

  51. SalOctober 21, 2013 at 6:17 PM

    Game of Thrones: The Starks! There are no words to describe how sad!


    TVD: Damon, first he's evil but just to get back the girl he thought he loves only to realize she was never into him, and then to fall in love with her doppelganger and after all this time, getting her only to find out she is 'destined' to be with his brother! Oh boy..


    Revenge: Emily/Amanda & also Jack..her father was framed, mother was a lunatic who ran away with the man behind her husband's death..came back for Revenge to get sucked into a love rhombus with only one true aide..and of course Jack, lost his brother, dog, wife, brother, boat and almost lost his bar! Wow!


    24: The show may have ended and is coming back, but Jack Bauer.. what a life! Losing TOO many people, fighting TOO many battles and giving up TOO much. Still, one of my favorite characters.



    Scandal: Huck! Was forced to become an assassin, then loved becoming one, lost his family, trapped in a hole, homeless for the longest time, and then realizing your friend and boss's dad was responsible for your fate and hid it from you the whole time..


    OUAT: Emma & Regina both.

  54. Jim 108October 21, 2013 at 6:29 PM

    Just for consideration, I'd like to add Harold Finch (Person Of Interest) and Nick Brody (Homeland) to that list.
    Harold wanted to change the world, make it better etc., so he created this masterpiece of a Machine that could save the lives of many people. No one could ever know that he did. He sold the Machine to people who couldn't be trusted with that kind of power, and he chose to use the Machine to prevent crimes that would change the world, instead of ''irrelevant'' crimes. One of those irrelevant crimes turned out to be his best friend/partner (and almost himself!), who was killed by the people Finch sold the Machine to. To protect his fiancé, he had to fake his own death because he realized his presence alone threatened everyone around him. He lives in the same city as the woman he loves, but he has to avoid her at all times


    Nicholas Brody... Held captive by terrorists for eight years. Manipulated, tortured, led to believe he beat his own friend to death... He was ripped apart, and then put together when he got a ''new'' family (Issa). He was released to kill himself and the vice president, who had killed the boy he had grown to love. His own children don't recognize him. His wife sleeps with another man. Then when he decides not to go through with bombing the vice president, he gets caught by the CIA, who forces him to become a double agent. His family can't deal with not knowing where he is all the time and abandons him. He's forced to kill the vice president anyway, then gets blamed for a huge attack he was not a part of. He has to flee the country, knowing his family believes he's a terrorist.

  56. AaroniaOctober 21, 2013 at 6:42 PM

    The beautiful thing about Locke is that, even with that horrible life he had, he kept believing that he was important in some way, always fighting to find some higher purpose in his life. I believe at the end he was trying to kill himself not out of desperation but because he thought it was what the island and the world needed him to do, as a sacrifice for his friends. In a way he was wrong, of course, because that was just a manipulation of the Man in Black, but in another way, he did what he genuinely thought was right and the 'universe' more or less made his sacrifice matter for the right cause.


    So, in the battle between the "Man of Science" and the "Man of Faith", Locke's choice could perhaps be read as the gullible one, but somehow his heart was in the right place and his vision was proven to be the right one at the end. In my opinion, this supreme twist is one of the most interesting of all Lost's plot lines, and good food for thought, I would add.

  62. A Bad PersonOctober 21, 2013 at 9:29 PM

    Merlin's tragedy was that he loved Arthur more than he trusted him. And while keeping the truth of himself hidden was for an understandable reason, I think, in the end, that he feared losing Arthur's friendship more than anything else, so much so that he seemed to drift away from the idea of creating the Albion the dragon foretold. Magic was never brought back to the kingdom, not properly and a lot of that was due to Merlin's fear. He basically lost a lot of his original hope and energy replacing it with a world-weariness that was contrasted later on by Mordred, who, similar to Merlin in earlier seasons, had hope that magic could one day have a place in Arthur's kingdom.


    I still think it's kinda funny how things came full circle, what with Merlin's paranoid suspicion of Mordred echoing Uther's earlier sentiment towards magic itself. Merlin was a sad story, but I can't help but think that it was Merlin himself who caused it to happen that way.


    He failed to bring magic back because towards the end he simply gave up on the idea completely.

    ReplyDelete
  63. A Bad PersonOctober 21, 2013 at 9:59 PM

    Really? Why? I mean I guess you would also want the vast majority of the cast 'gone' too because that's what would have happened if she had vanished back in season one. There would have been no one else who cared enough (or was sometimes coerced into) to produce a magic spell at the drop of a hat in order to save someone's life. None of the other witches would have gone that extra mile.


    So don't be shy. If you wanted so many of the characters dead back in season one, you don't need to draw out a single name.

    Jack - Revenge. This guy got traumatized real bad. (Spoiler Alert) First his best friend as a child gets taken to a mental institution because her dad was falsely accused of terrorism, then she returns like 17 years later, only to die in a boat explosion after they got married and had a child. His dad & dog died, along with his brother, who gets caught in an explosion meant for him which was set up by incredibly rich & powerful people he continues to have a war with, not to mention being constantly harassed by two men who his fathers friend murdered decades ago, falsely accused of drug trafficking and possession of a firearm himself, getting beat up by thugs a couple times and last but not least being told by a girl who he used to love but was rejected by that ALL OF IT was just a scheme to help her get revenge on a family, and that she is the REAL Amanda Clarke, and that the woman he married and had his child with, buried etc. was just a murderous stripper. And now consequently he is being threatened by a man who loves the real Amanda. Now THAT is a sad storyline!

    Other: Alex, Nikita. Somewhere between watching her father being killed before her eyes (at the age of 13), having her house burned down, being sold to sex slavery, getting addicted to drugs, being nearly raped, being tortured/drugged/manipulated by Amanda 57 times, discovering the ONLY person in the world she trusted lied to her about having killed her father, having two boyfriends die in her arms and in a way that saddles her with a ton of guilt, and learning that her mother had an affair with the man who ordered her father's (and her own) death... I lost count.



    I'd say the WInchester brothers, but the angst in Supernatural reached such absurd highs a few seasons ago that I became desensitized (and stopped watching). It's basically emotional torture porn, and it never, ever lets up. It surprises me that people enjoy watching a show where the characters are so perpetually miserable, and the writers grasp at every possible excuse to make them suffer even more.

    Gerard and Deucalion both should have bit it in their respective seasons. (Sorry about the pun) I don't like killing off all the female villains and keeping all the male ones. Keep Peter and kill the rest. Peter is enough of a devil to keep them dancing for several seasons all on his own.

    Regarding Charlotte - add to that list her "friend" Regina turning out to be obsessed with her and making her indirectly responsible for Declan being in the Grayson building at the time of the explosion; also her miscarriage; everyone lying to her, making her unable to really trust people anymore; her actual half-sister marrying her half-brother in order to exact revenge on her mother for the betrayal and death of their actual father. Oh, and her other half-brother, who she had no idea existed, taking the place of Daniel as the favourite child, and thus making her the lowest priority for her mother.
    As for Emily - well, the sheer fact that her mentality is so royally messed up and she cannot let go and lead a normal life speaks volumes about the after-effects of everything she's been through. But since you've started a list, I'll add faux!Amanda falling in love with her childhood crush, getting pregnant, getting married to him; then getting killed because of the same person Emily had set out to hurt; Jack almost getting killed. Also, in the past, Aiden leaving her behind at Takeda's spy school to go on a search for his sister; in the Hamptons, Aiden almost getting sent to jail; later getting shot and almost killed by Daniel; then trying to get Jack killed (or so it seems); Jack telling her he has no feelings for her and threatening to reveal her true identity and thus putting her life in danger, etc...
    Anyway, Jack could also be on the list, but I guess I feel more sorry about his son - not only has the poor baby boy lost his mother and uncle, but his father often gets in trouble and ends up in the crossfire.

    Jesse wasn't manipulated into killing anyone.

    I'd say the whole cast of Supernatural - let's not forget how people become hunters, the tragedy of a loved one killed by a monster, wanting to take revenge and so on.
    My second opinion is kind of outside the box, because sometimes it's just karma, but what about Gemma from Sons of Anarchy? Everything we've seen happen to her onscreen plus all the crap she's been through before that... I stopped wondering why she's such a bitch a long time ago.
    I would also like to point out, that Max from 2 Broke Girls has an immensely sadder storyline than Caroline and although it's one of the main sources of jokes on the show, her story is seriously depressing. Same goes for Phoebe on Friends - I know this is supposed to be funny, but come on, mom's suicide, dad's absence, her sister and everything that followed. Seriously?

    Other - PROFILER - Samantha Waters, Jack Of All Trades killed people
    from her past, her husband, four years after - new boyfriend, she had to
    live in a 'home prison' with her little girl, always had cops
    supervision, etc. He was psychologically torturing her for years. I'd say that's the saddest storyline.
