oh, i KNOW! i was kindof enraged when lexie died, that was seriously unfairly quick, i was looking forward to so much badassery from her, especially considering she was stronger than damon. i have to admit the way damon killed her was clever and i enjoyed the way he infiltrated the baddie council but ugh! LEXIE! the male characters have a lot of potential and things i want to see happen, but i have to agree, the way they kill off all the awesome females. i think i may have literally whined when pearl died. and then anna! ><" lol, you've really pushed this into me. i was marathoning it so fast and the show itself was so fast i didn't really think of it so much, but now that you've just gone and listed 'em all like that...
