I'm becoming increasingly annoyed by all the Jeff Hate stemming from Allison's death in Insatiable. There is a littany of sites with interviews with Crystal about her decision to leave the show. She was the one who approached Jeff. It wasn't his idea to write her off the show originally.

Then there's the complaint that Jackson was allowed to just move to London, so why did Allison have to die? Well... probably because Colton didn't mention his intent to leave for Arrow until they were already filming Season 2. A casual mention of his death in the season 3 opener would have made everyone mad. Gage Golightly left voluntarily. Her character was killed off too. Since Boyd's main focus was going to be his relationship with Erica, he became pointless. With Allison's death, we are actually given a way to mourn and to know that she died as a hero, living by the Code she created and protecting the people she loved. The way it was written and shot was incredibly beautiful and poignant and I absolutely loved it. Am I sad to see her go? Yes... and I didn't imagine I ever would be... but that's alright.

Can we stop complaining about things that Jeff Davis has had no control over and start complaining about things he does? Like the fact that we still have no idea what Deucalion is doing out there... or what the hell has Gerard been up to in 3B? Or any of the other glaring plot holes that we've been forced to just nod and accept because of less-than-adequate writing?

If Jeff kills off a character whose actor has decided to leave... it doesn't make him racist or a sexist or a homophobe.... it just makes him a writer trying to make the best out of a bad situation.
