Shanti virus = good call.

I actually don't feel like the cast is overcrowded, so I wouldn't mind more character development instead of more character deaths.

Someone commented a while back, though I didn't save the link, that while she felt like it was predominantly women and people of color who were getting killed off, when she thought about it she realized there aren't actually all that many white men in the cast. Thought I think a lot of people would be happy to see West get killed off. And there's Matt.
