Eureka & Chuck: the shows where the only permanently dead major characters are straight white dudes

(Well, it's true, unless I've forgotten characters...)

A few weeks ago I finished the last season of Chuck.  It had it's ups and downs but was largely pretty fun.  Not as good as the first 2 or 4th seasons but better than the third.  This week I watched the final season of Eureka (glad I was warned about the beginning of the season, always happy to see Beverley, amused that they thought we'd be shocked by the Henry reveal towards the end.)  And the last couple episodes of both did the same thing with a female character that (1) is very uncommon (and on the final 5th season of each, at that...), (2) didn't exactly thrill me, but didn't make me want to throw things either.

( spoilers for season 5 of both shows )
