I was extremely disappointed to see Detective John Stone (DJ Cotrona) killed off on Detroit 187 last night, March 15, 2011. He was an outstanding addition to the squad, and his relationship with Detective Ariana Sanchez was finally coming about. DJ is an amazing actor, and I loved the relationships between his character and the other squad members. I also loved how he had, before coming to the homicide division, been with the undercover narcotics. He knew a great deal about the drug dealers and their areas, which I thought would definitely save homicide in a future case. Last week after watching Det. Stone get shot, I was concerned but not too concerned because I just knew that the show would not let go of such a valuable member that soon. I have seen people writing on website posts about how they were going to "stop watching Detroit 187 if Det. Stone gets killed off". Well, to many of our surprise, he was. I don't want to lose Detroit 187 because I think it is truly a good TV show, and one of the last ones around, but I am honestly shocked that they would evaporate a character that quickly. Especially a character as meaningful and as invaluable as Det. Stone was. Is this ABC's doing? Are they trying to ruin the show to get it off the air?? Opinions and feedback welcome and appreciated!!
