If the writers of Offspring were aiming to write a story line that completely shocked all of its viewers, then they succeeded. I would be surprised if they themselves aren't shocked by the crazy reactions that are flooding social media today. As someone who only recently got into the show, I am glad I did, except for this weird feeling of knowing my reaction and feelings of sorrow are completely irrational, as Patrick isn't a real person. I know that he isn't real, I know that it is just a T.V show and that it is all fiction but I am sad and it seems that I am not alone in my grieving for a fictional character. My Facebook feed is inundated with posts about it, whether they are sad with me, or whether they are completely bewildered by the effect of one episode on such a large amount of their friends. I am not looking forward to Patrick's funeral next week, I better go buy some more tissues this week.
