The producer also explained his reasons for killing off the actor’s character. “I still think people grip their seats and are excited when Athena lands a plane on the freeway or a ship capsizes,” he said, referencing Angela Bassett‘s character, “but after eight years, it just felt like, if we have any hope of creating stories going forward that have actual stakes, then someone’s got to die.”
So why Bobby? “The first reason is that it made sense,” Tim explained. “It didn’t feel arbitrary, because if you track the tragic arc of his character, of where he started, and how he came to LA looking for atonement, it just makes a kind of tragic sense for his character in a way it wouldn’t for another character.”
Tim also said he “just didn’t want to go small” with his decision to kill off a character, adding, “Bobby’s death affects every single character’s story in a way that really no other character death would.”
