What about Riley? I don't read the comics, so I have no idea if he died after season 7, but he was alive when we last saw him in the tv series. Though I'm sure plenty of people *wished* him dead... :)

He was in the comics, too, but I don't know if he's made it into season 9.

Didn't remember Riley in the credits. So I guess being in the credits wasn't quite the kiss of death I thought it was. Originally it was supposed to be sort of a surprise with Xander's friend being in the original opening credits and then dying almost immediately. I think that is still actually pretty cool but I've always though killing off characters after that was a bit too much Grand Guignol for me. Joyce being the only death that, imo, was done for anything other than shock value.

Honestly, who wants to read a book or watch a movie and get attached to characters only to have them die? It's not like a Shakespearean tragedy or a Russian novel where you know what you're getting coming in.
