Still working my way through the series, but yeaaaaah, I'll be so pissed off if they do that. Dude, copy/clone of any sort does NOT negate character death!
Did you know that that the original Ensign Harry Kim from Star Trek Voyager is actually dead? The one we saw boarding the ship is dead, the one that first befriended Tom Paris is dead - but what happened is they got the one from an alternate ship and then Nobody evar mention it again. What the hell? So okay, it was 2372 (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Harry_Kim) one year into the show...so the Harry Kim we saw for the most part and grow to love/hate is actually the duplicate aaaaah mindhurt!
...and then I heard something about Superboy being replaced by a Superboy clone?
If Helen dies, I would cry, and no, the duplicate, I might grow to like her as different character, but Replacement Goldfish is not cool!
...and all aboard with what John planning to do to Helen being all shades of non-con wrong and from what I've seen of him so far (okay, I haven't seen all yet), I don't believe he would. I don't believe any of the men in her life would, Helen drives, and they are okay with that or they would NOT be in her life.
As for the Jack the Ripper thing, if I don't separate it into an energy being, I can still sympathize with Jack...have you ever seen Psycho II? Sometimes when you are crazy, you are crazy. Doesn't mean I would date him, but I can sympathize with someone who for real, cannot control it. All along, it's actually Helen I have more of a problem with, if she had been in self-denial. Okay, so Helen is a woman, that sucks in Victorian times, but she's a high class woman! So high class she gets to go to university, in some capacity. Meanwhile, the women that John murders get all the suck, I don't think being a prostitute is all that fun, they probably had very little choice. Something about the combination of it all just rubs me the wrong way. Ah, here's the word: Madonna/Whore complex.
