this is inevitable

"Can I say something about destiny? Screw destiny. If this evil thing comes, we'll fight it and we'll keep fighting it till we whoop it. Because destiny is just another word for inevitable. And nothing is inevitable as long as you stand up, look it in the eye and say, 'You're evitable.'"

Joss has such a reputation for this that his name has now become a term: "Jossed". In general, it applies to the killing off of a main character that is (usually) in or beginning a happy relationship. See also Serenity.

Augh! Poor, poor Wash. I screamed in the movie theater at that scene.

And Doyle! Remember Doyle? I was really starting to like him, and then...

Joss sucks. Really. He's so good at what he does, he sucks.

Hence the popular cry of "Damn you, Joss Whedon!"

He is the one writer I both adore and hate passionately.

(I take it you haven't finished watching all the Angel episodes, judging by your reaction to the news of Fred's fate)

Nope, I haven't. I have only watched the first season. We no longer got the channel that showed "Angel" after the first season aired because we needed to cut down on expenses. But I will go out and buy the DVDs once I get the money.

Well, at least you'll be somewhat prepared when the time comes...
