Tracy (the mother), in How I Met Your Mother - for real, why did they even bring someone in to play her if they were just going to fridge her so Ted could get with Robin?

It's hard to pick one death from Stranger Things. I think Barb's, Eddie's, Chrissy's, and Billy's deaths had some purpose to them (not saying any of them absolutely needed to happen, just that narratively, I can understand what they might have been going for). But both Bob's and Alexei's deaths felt gratuitous - like their characters were designed with the sole purpose of getting the audience to like them a lot so that there was a bigger emotional payoff when they died.

I'm not even going to try for Grey's Anatomy, way too many characters were killed off when they shouldn't have been.

I was so mad about Bob and Alexei's deaths. Chrissy's and Barb's too, but as you said, they had some purpose to them. Bob's and Alexei's deaths were just completely pointless. When the trailer came out for the season after that one and they talked in the Russian jail about 'the American' I knew it was Hopper, but I really did like imagining that it was Alexei and they called him that ironically because he was so enchanted by American things that he might well be called mockingly 'the American'. I would have liked the fourth season a lot better if that had been true. Wouldn't have even minded Hopper being still alive as much.

Alexei's death really was just MEAN. And I didn't think Eddie needed to die. I knew Bob was going to die from the start... but as with Eddie, he didn't need to die in order to pull off his heroic act. He 'needed' (Doylist) to die because he was too lovable for Joyce to just break up with but they wanted Joyce and Hopper to be endgame.

At least we'll always have fanfiction (and there is one where Alexei and Hopper are in the Russian prison together and they wind up bonding before getting rescued by Joyce and Murray!)
