I very much dislike any series or movie that starts with and "ending". They start off season 4 with the Byrde's almost hitting a semi, crashing and turning, doing Pirouette's on the highway. So of course we all think "well they definitely died." Nope. I thought AT LEAST Wendy would die. It just doesn't make any sense why they would toss this accident in the show, except to just mess with our brains. It has ZERO relation to the stories or to any character development. And they all walk out of it with barley a scratch? Really? In a Honda Odyssey? Cool Hollywood.
I'm okay (ish) with Ruth dying. I think killing off main characters makes a show better, in my opinion. But it should have been Wendy. She's pure evil. I read that the writers were split on Ruth's demise for the finale. Not sure how they green lit that. It would have made more sense for them to let Ruth have the life she wanted because that was her ENTIRE arch of the final season. The entire point of her having visions of Wyatt was so she could have that life. And then they kill her because of a tattletale and loose threat.
Not sure why tf shows continue to make horrible writing choices like this, instead of a "Plan B" option. Like killing Wendy.
Anyway. RIP Ruth.
