10 Heart-Breaking TV Deaths You Never Saw Coming

3. Future Simon - Misfits

simon death This one will go down in history as being just so not fair. From the end of the first season of Misfits, there's the mysterious shadow of Superhoodie hanging over everyone. Who is this guy, anyway? Well, apparently it's Future Simon. And he's cool now. And dating Alisha. Mind blown. There's this thing about the pacing of British television, especially in the case of Misfits. With fewer episodes per season, the plot can move fast. I think we all expected that we would have the chance to learn more about the future version of Simon, to see his relationship with Alisha develop, to see what impact this would have on the rest of the group. If it had been an American show, they would have milked an entire 22 episode season out of the mystery of Future Simon. As it stands, we got two episodes. Two. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I realized that they were actually going to kill him off that quickly. Always leave them wanting more, right?
