Actor unhappy with character death.

The guy that plays Edgar doesn't understand why he was killed off.

The wonder turned to something else after Lombardi read a story in USA Today, in which executive producer Howard Gordon acknowledged that Edgar became more vulnerable as his appeal grew, a statement that baffled the 38-year-old actor.
Curious logic, that. Ronald D. Moore makes the same kind of decisions with Battlestar Galactica. It becomes so predictable that I'd bet money in a given situation that the expected outcome will not happen.

Television writers create plotlines that don't do the expected. Of course, after a while, this becomes the expected thing, and they're in a rut again, just like the old rut in Bizarro World. Me am not impressed.

It's about time they killed Edgar off. His acting was, at times, painful to watch.

I was bummed. They could have killed him better. And how the heck did tony go down without taking out some guys. It's like chappelle and Nina all over again.
