    Shows rarely kill off major characters. They do, however, often end seasons on just such a dramatic cliffhanger to keep watchers talking about the show during its hiatus, maintaining interest and momentum. Think of all the possibilities you can as to how the character might escape death, who might come to the person's aid in time, etc.

    When a character dies, they're not lost forever. Some shows, like Lost and Supernatural, had characters so popular that the creators brought them back. You might also find that new or future characters are even more enjoyable than the character you originally loved, and it would be a shame to miss out on those characters.

    It's not clear what you mean. You can't stop the remaining episodes from being created or released, if that's what you mean. You're free not to watch them. If you're using a service like Netflix or Hulu, you can always cancel it, but you won't get a refund for the current month, your subscription will just be canceled at the end of the current pay period.
