That scene fucked me up as a kid. There were tons of brutal fates in the show though. The guy who became insubstantial and fell to the center of the earth, the radioactive zombie dad that’s trapped underground, the Splicer who gets injected with a bunch of animals’ DNA and turns into a misshapen monster. Show was dark as hell for a kids show.

It's certainly one of the reasons why I loved it so much.

It was created to satisfy a WB mandate for a “kids show like Buffy,” and despite not having any teen drama, it certainly had that dark edge to it that drew younger viewers to Buffy.

Terry and Dana are like the most high functioning high school couple of all time. They're like a non toxic Peter/MJ
