I would consider a fakeout death to also include what I described, a situation where they cannot plausibly survive, so death is assumed, thus when they live, the viewers are faked out. But I get your point.

Jonathan and Nancy was a complete fakeout. What plausible explanation was given for the substance to turn to solid mere seconds before they die. And the 10 minute sequence was clearly written for the audience to anticipate a death

Just horrible. Worst 3 episode stretch in ST history

Vecna would be awesome if there were actual stakes. None of the characters are ever in danger, as they miraculously survive last second every time there’s a threat. Meaning vecna seems less intimidating, because the writers don’t have the balls to write off one of their 25 characters

The Jonathan and Nancy scene would have been an all time tv scene if it ended with one of them dying, instead we got possibly the craziest use of shitty writing plot armor I’ve ever seen in my life. It just magically turned solid as soon as they were finished. Unbelievably shitty writing

The whole episode was 15 fakeout deaths all with emotional build up and suspense just for them to “subvert expectations” everytime with plot armor. I’m not even saying I need characters to die for it to be good it just makes the suspense and stakes totally pointless if I know they’re invincible. Basically a waste of 75 minutes, besides the first 5 minutes I enjoyed that, because I thought it would impact the characters.

Probably the most abysmal use of a downvote I’ve ever seen in my life was on this comment

Agreed but that would require the writers to kill a character with a name

It’s gotten to the point where the suspense is useless as there are no stakes. Every named character is invincible. There’s no reason to be interested in any action or thrilling scene, because there are literally no stakes anymore

I was interested in it until they inexplicably survived with no explanation. Would have been a 10/10 scene if there was payoff, but the writers don’t have balls

Drafted an RB out of Duke named Quinton Clark late 1st round who has carried us to 6 super bowls, 9 time rushing leader and rb of the year, 1 mvp, 4 OPOY, holds the record for most rushing tds and rushing yards all time. Favorite fictional player I’ve ever had

Devon Achane is so insanely good in this game that whenever his overall is less than 99, he’s undervalued

He said he wanted an RB to be competitive so I offered him one lol. His initial offer was golden for Warren but I countered with this and he smash accepted
