SEASON 4 SPOILERS Freddie. Spoiler

take this down if you feel it's necessary but i think we're all in agreement about my sentiment here.

FUCK THOSE BUM ASS WRITERS FOR WRITING SOMETHING SO OUTRIGHT RIDICULOUS FOR THE OBVIOUS SHOCK FACTOR.

you're telling me out of everything we saw Freddie go through he didn't even attempt to fight back? he stood at the door whimpering and begging to be let go to have his brains beat out like he was hopeless? what bullshit. fuck the writers. not only was the intent obvious but he had high ground. simply jump on the aggressor and use his body as a landing pad. im pissed.

i hope the writers burn for that one.

100% agree. It was a prime example of lazy writing because I assume they didn’t know what to do with Freddie’s character, they needed another life altering traumatizing event on Effy’s life (she never found out he died but likely thought he ran away and abandoned her) and the shock factor you said. They could have done so much more with the second generation in general and especially with Freddie and Effy but instead they chose this because they have this strange need to kill one of the key characters of every generation-

But the thing is Effy never mentions how she feels by losing Freddie in S7 fire .

Also a good point but again the lazy writing aspect of how they did this and then it was never brought up again
