dignity of taking my own life that’s
something you can do yes you can
we’re taking a look at the worst acts
committed by television heroes however
we won’t be including the permanently
morally compromised like Dexter although
I do love seeing Michael see how chopped
people up into little pieces interesting
but if I don’t keep a little Ness it
could be the end of us let’s take a look
number 10 Jack Bauer executed someone at
a terrorist instruction 24 Jack Bauer
does a lot of morally gray and illegal
things in the name of protecting the
United States but this is arguably one
of the most controversial the third day
of 24 seas a terrorist mastermind named
Stephen Saunders hold the US government
hostage under threat of unleashing
biological weapons on the population
after learning of Ryan Chappelle’s
investigation attempting to locate him
Saunders orders the president and Bauer
to execute Chappelle right is there
anyone you want to talk to
can you say goodbye while Chappell has
given me option to do it himself
ultimately it falls to Bauer to kill his
number nine Jack Harkness kills his own
grandson Torchwood here the leader of
Torchwood the immortal Jack Harkness is
given an impossible choice when an alien
race known as the four five six demands
humanity give them millions of its
children and in two hours time the
government is handing them over faced
with allowing a huge number of innocents
to be abducted and horrific aliy used
Jack is able to stop them using the
creatures own psychic wavelength that is
attuned to children but only by using a
the only one available is Jack’s
grandson Stephen killing someone to save
others is an awful thing and it’s made
even worse when it’s your own family
number eight
facilitating extinction Star Trek
Enterprise early in the show’s run the
enterprise and its dr. phlox are asked
for help by an alien species called the
valakians who are suffering from a
deadly disease while their flocks
discovers that a second race on the
planet the mink were treated like
second-class citizens don’t suffer from
it the proteins that bind to the
chromosomes are deteriorating Fox then
learns its genetic and that the
valakians are simply dying out you have
a moral obligation to help people who
are suffering I’m also a scientist
despite discovering a cure phlox and
Captain Archer decide not to give it to
them giving them ank a chance to be the
dominant species ultimately condemning
millions to die from an otherwise
curable disease number 7 Clarke kills
everyone in Mount weather
the hundred young leader Clarke makes
lots of hard and morally questionable
decisions but this is definitely the
worst all we have to do this cut off in
a control room and help us to save her
people from excruciating and deadly bone
marrow extractions Clarke and Bellamy
used the controls at their disposal to
let in lethal radiation to the level
where the mountains entire population is
located killing everyone including their
own people as well as the innocent
children living there while there is an
element of Mercy to the act it’s still
mass murder number 6 changing the past
the flash Barry Ellen may be the fastest
man alive
but in his headlong rush to save people
he can make some costly mistakes after a
crushing loss Barry decides to travel
back in time to save his mother a
formative experience for him altering
the past and creating a new timeline
however his memories begin to fade your
original life your friends your family
pretty soon all of that will just fade
away to restore the timeline he has to
let her be killed again restoring the
timeline but not without changes to his
friends lives including damaged
relationships dead relatives and even
erasing children from existence
I screwed up everyone’s life oh baby you
should tell them I’m not gonna tell them
I mean how is that gonna help us just
gonna make everything worse I mean I
don’t know how to fix this now who’s the
villain indeed
number five Adama and Roslin have three
percent of humanity killed Battlestar
Galactica Commander Adama and President
Laura Roslin make their share of tough
calls about one of their first is easily
one of the most devastating restart the
clock 33 minutes after fleeing the
destruction of their homeworld the fleet
is found by the Cylons every 33 minutes
when one ship fails to make a rendezvous
the Cylons don’t pursue yet when it
returns the Cylons do as well Apollo
they’re not responding although they
can’t manage to hail them and a nuclear
weapon is detected aboard there still
may be people aboard there’s no choice
it’s either them or not
nevertheless Roslin and Adama choose to
destroy the ship and possibly the 1300
people aboard to save the other 47,000
number four willow skins worn alive
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
willow is one of the sweetest parts of
Buffy’s Scooby Gang but season six sees
her struggling with an addiction to dark
magic she’s pushed over the edge though
when her girlfriend Tara is accidentally
shot and killed by Warren Mears when he
tries to kill Buffy after which she
gives in to her darker impulses willow
tracks Warren down and then tortures him
first using the bullet that killed Tara
then when he tries to reason with her
she abruptly Flay’s him alive in an
instant before incinerating him I see
that now I need gel I need but you you
know what willow could give a lot of the
series big bads a lesson in cruelty
number three Daenerys has innocent
people crucified Game of Thrones despite
being one of the few morally good
characters on Game of Thrones even
Daenerys Targaryen is not without her
incredibly ruthless moments while
journeying to free the city of murine
from oppression Daenerys is appalled to
see slaves including children crucified
on road markers along the way upon
helping the sleeves liberate themselves
Dany has the same number of great
masters crucified in retaliate
even if they were uninvolved sometimes
it is better to answer injustice with
mercy I will answer injustice with
justice this kind of eye-for-an-eye
justice is hardly heroic and her
advisers even try to dissuade her but to
no avail
my father and 162 noble Meereenese are
still nailed to those posts it’s oddly
fitting that the mother of dragons is so
draconian number two caryl murders a
child the walking dead the murder of a
child is a horrific thing and while
melinda mais killing of a little girl on
agents of shield was a contender
ultimately this walking dead instance
stood out in her minds the most young
lizzy is a girl who believes that the
zombies are her friends and doesn’t
understand the danger they pose leading
her to kill her sister and preparing to
do the same to the infant Judith look at
the flowers because the post-apocalyptic
world cannot provide for her Carol does
what she sees is the humane thing and
tells Lizzy to look at some flowers
before shooting her in the back of the
head
number one genocide Doctor Who renowned
throughout time and space as a
pacifistic hero who always seeks
nonviolent solutions the doctor is
nevertheless responsible for genocide
make that genocide the doctor has
destroyed a complete species the church
must now be genocide while facing the
evils of the universe the doctor has
wiped out the last of several species
including his own people at least so it
seemed granted in most of these cases
the doctor was stopping these people
and/or creatures from killing innocent
people or to stop a terrible cosmos
ending war but in doing so he’s often
causing the extinction of whole species
even if their genocide all monsters like
the Daleks
we failed doing the right thing as
opposed to succeeding and doing the
wrong but does he have the right do you
