Helen's Gruesome End...

[carole9908]

The thing with the other deaths is that people have seen others die the same way in other shows (trying to avoid spoilers here...) whereas I don't think anyone has ever been deep fried before like Helen. And as JHyde says above, we all know how painful even a small burn can be (looks at recently burned arm & winces). I do also think that it being so early in the first series, it really brought the show to everyone's attention.
