With Season 1 of MelindaMrskk’s One Killer at a close, we now set our sights for Season 2. For the first time, I have assessed through an entire season as it aired. Really, it makes the story that much easier to assess that way and a lot more fun. I will give out awards for some superlatives I think we were worth mentioning in Season 1 once all of the characters have been assessed. But first let’s say a heartfelt farewell to those who perished just before they had the chance to see the end of the tunnel that was Season 1.
In Memorium:
Pieguy555 – Jade Nator – Jade was already heading down a dark path after she got called out for her suicide attempt in Episode 3. In reality, we should have seen a successful suicide attempt by her come sooner or later, and it wasn’t surprising to see Jake’s death be the thing that really does it for her. All the same, it was sad to see her die because I was really beginning to root for her. Aoki – Viola Washington – Of all the Season 1 deaths, it was the hardest to see Viola die. She really was a badass and she was great fun to watch. I am truly going to miss her. When Season 2 comes, newer characters will have some big shoes to fill thanks to iconity that was Viola Washington. Her death was also very sad and was truly heartfelt. Rest in peace < 3 MrPokeguy9 – Oli Grubb – At first, I wasn’t a huge fan of Oli, but in the last few episodes, he really grew on me. While he didn’t totally stop working with the killer, I will say that while I was expecting his death as Season 1 came to a close, he was robbed and did not deserve to die the way he did. Brayden_ - Dwight Schrute – Just when he was beginning to grow on me, he began sleeping with Elizabeth. In all actuality, that was a great setback for him as far as I’m concerned. But he gets points back for trying to fight for his life once Tori came after him. He may have been a manwhore, but at least he did not die a coward and at least he is getting justice for it with Tori’s arrest. KatarinaDuCouteau – Andrea Mazzarra – Of all the people in this story, I actually expected her to survive. For the first 11 episodes, I was rooting for Andrea to come out on top. She was not someone to back down from an argument and I had a lot of respect towards her. I will say she did lose some points from me as she neared her death. I did not like paranoid Andrea at all, but other than that, she was iconic and she will be missed.
Un-Memorium: Kelly2722 – Tori Matthews – I was not expecting her to be a killer at all, but while I did like her in the beginning, I will say I was glad to see her get arrested. When she was about to “die”, she had become whiny and then after she was revealed to be the killer, she acted downright evil. Will we see her again in Season 2? I don’t know, but if we do, I am hoping she gets some kind of redemption. LivvieBoo12 – Olivia Light – That death was really hard to fake, I am not gonna lie. HOWEVER, I am glad to see her back. She took her arrest in stride and I really have to applaud her for that. I am hoping she will get to return in some way or form in Season 2 because I like she could become an even better character if given an actual chance.
Now that we have looked at who has died and who is alive again, let’s see who we may or may not have seen the last of despite them never dying in Season 1.
Retired?:
Bluba164 – Burt Macklin – I’m gonna say this once, him leaving town may have been smart, but I think he was a coward underneath that exterior of his. He was never at the search party, he never finished his part of the job in trying to find the killer, he just up and left the town while the killers were still at-large. For shame! If he is back, he would be in dire need of a complete turn-around. PoohSnap – Adam Bates – He may have been disgusting throughout most of Season 1, especially with his attempted rape on Viola, but after reading Episode 10, I feel see where he was coming from. He wasn’t really an evil character and he even managed to earn Viola’s forgiveness when he explained to her what had happened. While I cannot condone his character entirely still, his last moments this season did lighten me up a little towards him. Good luck in the future, Adam. AnnaMay – Anna May – Anna throughout Season 1 has always been one of my favorite characters. She was smart and optimistic, she wasn’t afraid to say it how it was, so I am glad she survived. I hope her leaving town wasn’t the last we’ve seen of her. Maybe with the character I am going to apply as, it will give Anna new life in the story come Season 2. Please don’t leave us Anna :(
And now, we finally move on to the rest of the survivors:
TDBigBrotherLover112 – Elizabeth Caldwell – For the most part, Elizabeth was a really well-rounded character that I quite liked, so safe to say that I’m glad she survived. I don’t necessarily like that she took Dwight from Andrea, but I liked most else about her from her ability to think and reason to, for the most part, her being there for her friends in their time of need. Through and through, Elizabeth has been a strong character. Katherinee_ - Rebecah Black – With Rebecah being the one to keep Tallulah calmed down, she was instrumental to getting to the bottom of who the main killer was. She was an iconic character, bitchy when she felt like it, and what this season has told us is that she and Tallulah were a great duo and I hope to see their friendship grow even more in Season 2. Guigi – Sydney Burton – Out of all the people who could have killed Andrea, I wasn’t expecting it to be Sydney. Not in a million years. Lol But this just shows that while Sydney has her nice moments, she also has her bitchy moments too. When it comes down to it, I could have grouped these 4 girls together and it wouldn’t have made much of a difference. That’s how good these characters are, including Sydney. QueenMichelle – Tallulah Maraschino – And here is where Season 1’s character reviews come to a close, and fitting too since Tallulah just continued to shine throughout the season. She has grown from being mocked in her brother’s shadow into one of the strongest characters I have ever reviewed. Throughout the whole season, she has shown that she has amazing reasoning skills, which was crucial as she was the one to decipher that Olivia was the main killer. Just about everything that Tallulah has done, I could either relate to or can understand where she came from. She overcame her darkest fears and she came out on top alongside her friends. For that, my hat tips out to you, Tallulah.
And now time for Season 1 Awards:

Most Wanted to see more of – a tie between Alex Jackson and Olivia Light
Most Redeemed Character (meaning I needed to have warmed up to the character in some way after hating their guts at some point) – Adam Bates
And with that, it is time to say goodbye to Season 1. I am hoping Season 2 will be as iconic, if not even more so, as/than this one. I will be applying for Season 2 as “Serena Creed”. Who Serena will be, we will have to wait until the applications open. I will still be continuing these assessments, but my new character will always be assessed out of the living first for as long as she lives.
I hope you enjoy this farewell to Season 1 and I look forward to seeing you in Season 2! :)
WOOOOO!!!!!!! also I agree that Oli didn't deserve to die that way since he told Andrea about her being the main killers target
