I can't believe he's dead!! (Spoilers for s04e06)


Ripper Street will never be the same. The show has always been about Reid, Drake and Jackson. Now that Drake is dead the show will never be the same. I really hope Rose dies. If she hadn't betrayed them, none of this would have happened. She has to pay for what she has done. She is the reason Drake is dead.

I really can't imagine Ripper Street without Bennet Drake.

I so need to stay away from this forum until it's all out on dvd. Thanks for trying, benelli86 - I'm just too curious for my own good. *gives own derrière a good kicking*



After all is said and done, a lot more will have been said than done.

I know the feeling. It has happened to me many times.

reply

What!!! How can this happen? Still trying to figure out a way to watch it legally but I guess I'd drop it.

Absolutely unbelievable ending.

Your topic does however give away a MAJOR spoiler in that it informs one of only three lead male characters dies... and no-one would grieve for Jackson!



reply

Nonsense. Your accusation is unfounded. All it says is that a male character is dead. Plus it gives a clear spoiler warning. I have used spoiler tags multiple times in the text itself. I always use spoiler tags. If you've read the spoiler then it's your own fault. Nobody forced you to enter this thread or to read the spoiler.

reply

Well let's dissect it Sherlock.

Your very thread title not so covertly implies a much loved character has in fact died... plus that it's a male. And since it's hardly likely to be the barely tolerable Captain Jackson and Drum and Thatcher haven't been in it long enough to inspire such emotion, who else could it possibly be apart from Reid or Drake?!

Thus whatever you think, it's still a major giveaway for anyone not even opening your thread but merely browsing the list! However I do agree with you that people who don't want spoilers shouldn't be delving into a film or shows threads in the first place.

reply

Your accusation is ridiculous and your logic is flawed.! The title only implies that a male character dies. It could be any male character that appears in Ripper Street. It doesn't imply that one of the three male leads is dead.

It could have easily been one of the other male characters. It could have been Sgt.Donald Artherton, Chief Inspector Fred Abberline, Sgt. Drummond or Sgt. Thatcher. To name a few. It could even have been Susan's son. It could also have been Jackson. For some reason you seem to hate him, but I like him and I'm sure other people like him as well.

Whatever you seem to think, it's not a major spoiler. If the title contained the name of the character then it would have been a major spoiler. The title only implies that a male character dies in the sixth episode. Plus it contains a spoiler warning.

I'm done with this ridiculous discussion. If you don't want any spoilers, you shouldn't even be on this board.

reply

I already explained my reasons why the not so subtle shock of your thread title automatically excludes the minor characters you've stated - the fact that you're too damn ignorant to acknolwedge my logic doesn't mean that it's flawed. Duh.

And thanks for explaining how spoilers work - I've only been a contributor on here for a mere eighteen years (eleven under my current username).

reply

Hahaha!! Does your incompetence know no bounds? You're delusional! What reasons? Your pathetic hatred of Jackson? You haven't explained anything! Your logic is based on nothing! Read some of the other comments in this thread. Nobody agrees with you. You're the one that doesn't use spoiler tags when posting spoilers. You should be ashamed of yourself. You clearly haven't learned anything in those eleven years.

reply

Good God, you're an idiot and I simply cannot be bothered with you anymore.

Welcome to my block list...

reply

Haha!! You save me the trouble. I'm sure your list is quite full.

reply

The OP is correct, they said there were spoilers in the thread, you didn't have to open it. Also, one a show/film has aired then it is no longer a spoiler so going onto boards at all is a risk that you yourself take. The OP was being more considerate than they needed to be.

Jackson is my favourite of the three and I would miss him more than the other two so your analysis is based on your opinion re Jackson.

Your topic does however give away a MAJOR spoiler in that it informs one of only three lead male characters dies... and no-one would grieve for Jackson!


Call me no-one. Btw - you might want to put a spoiler tag around the name in your above post.

After all is said and done, a lot more will have been said than done.

reply

I'd grieve for Jackson.

reply

I agree with this first post.... can't believe it either.... gob-smacked and befuddled! Can't wait till ep 7!!! Such a good series! .... to think we almost didn't get to see these storylines when it was first cancelled!

reply

Indeed! I was so happy when amazon saved the show! Whoever decided to cancel Ripper Street at the BBC is a complete idiot!!

reply

I am sure my neighbors are wondering what happened over here. as I yelled out 'NOOOOOOOO!!" I love him so much, but I can't imagine he's not really dead, he had his throat ripped out, it's not like when Susan shot Reid, we knew it wasn't fatal

reply

I agree. I kept hoping that somehow Drake would survive, but unfortunately there was no way he could have survived that. He was done fighting. Rose betraying him and Bloom being innocent clearly took its toll.

reply

Drake has had a number of blows this season including the struggle to keep his relationship with Rose afloat.

Everything in Season 4 so far was leading to this...

reply

Indeed. He was done fighting.

reply

I agreeagree, I really hope rose dies. Bennet was an idiot for marrying that worthless thing.

reply

But he loved her so. . . . The episode from season 1 when he tried to buy her the lovebirds that she wanted and could not afford them both, ripped my heart out; when he asked her to marry him, his words were exquisite; he adored her and I grieved so much for him. (P S I'd've married him in a heartbeat and've loved him as long as he lived).

reply

I have to say your thread title gives it absolutely away no matter what you think. Your wording was obvious. I knew there were exactly two who could die and one of that had to be it.

After now watching the end it was correct. It is a big spoiler. You should change the title if possible just into spoiler.

reply

I have to say that you're a complete moron no matter what you think. I already had this discussion with that other idiot months ago. Noone in this thread agreed with him. The title doesn't contain any spoilers. It's your own damn fault if you haven't watched the show by now. It has been available for months. Stop crying like a little girl and grow the hell up.

reply

Does not change a fact if you are insulting people over the internet (which is laughable).

If you want to stay ignorant I cant change that.

And S4 is not finished up to today in my country.

reply

You're delusional! You reply to a comment that is more than seven months old and then you dare complain about spoilers? The show has been available for 7 months!! Have you been living under a rock? It isn't even considered a spoiler anymore. It's old news. You didn't even bother to read the rest of the read, or you would have known that we already had this discussion and noone in this thread thought the title contained any spoilers. I'm not going to waste another second of my time on a ignorant delusional racist. Go bother someone else.

reply

So now I am a racist 😀 You really seem like a sharp one. Lets stop here.

reply

Maybe there will be a miraculous recovery?

reply

I'ts unlikely, but it would be amazing if he did.

reply

I don't know how they could justify it, but I kinda wish there were some way to do it. But having an open wound to his jugular, which we see had stopped bleeding, is a pretty reliable indication that the character is dead and gone (although I suppose there might be some flashback some scenes during the next season).

He's been an integral part of the show. But who knows...maybe the actor wanted to leave.

reply

To wade into the argument (wearing armour as its obviously getting nasty!) "I cant believe he's dead" is a massive spoiler! Its obviously one of the triumvirate as no-one else would be truly missed, apart from Croker (but I'm prepared to accept that's just me and my David Threlfall crush!)

And as far as being months old, it only ended this month, on BBC anyway.

I didn't read your thread until the series finished but it was obvious one of them wouldn't make it.




Goodnight, good luck and may your God go with you

reply

Suggest: Since this is a threaded discussion, it would make more sense to re-post this comment as an answer to the OP not me.

(Also, if you look on the first page, you'll see I agreed with you.)

reply

Ive never managed to work out the whole thread inline flat thing! It messes with my mind like Inception



Goodnight, good luck and may your God go with you

reply

What do we have here? Another idiot complaining about a imaginary seven month old spoiler! Do you idiots have group meetings where you discuss who to bother with your idiotic flawed logic?

It doesn't matter that it only ended on the BBC two months ago. The show has been available for 7 months!! It isn't even considered a spoiler anymore. It's old news. It's not my fault that you don't have Amazon prime or that you haven't seen the episodes yet.

Noone forced you to enter this thread and noone forced you to read the spoiler. If you read it before you watched the show then it's your own damn fault!

I couldn't care less about spoilers myself. People can spoil anything for me and I wouldn't care. If spoilers bother you this much then why the hell would you visit a discussion board and enter a thread containing spoilers? Are you insane?

You didn't even bother to read the rest of the tread, or you would have known that we already had this discussion and noone in this thread thought the title contained any spoilers. I'm not going to waste another second on another idiot complaining about imaginary spoilers. Go bother someone else.

reply

What do we have here? Another idiot who spews forth bile without bothering to read what has been posted. If you got your head out of your indignant arse you would have seen that I "Didn't read your post until the series finished" so it doesn't matter but the subject title was a MASSIVE GIVEAWAY! And no, I'm not the only person who thought this, so you've contradicted yourself there genius, as you've had a row with many others on this thread already! (Or do people who disagree with you not count - who are you? Donald Trump?)

You do realise this is a discussion forum - not a "lets all agree with Bellend" forum

Anyhoo, I'm sure having the last word is going to be very important to someone like you, so take it. I wont see it anyway. I have a strict 'all jerks on ignore' policy.




Goodnight, good luck and may your God go with you
