"The show's been off the air for a while, so his death shouldn't bother you".

That's how this comes off. By the way, many people are completely aware that they've been off the air, and still find this saddening. In your attempt to be clever or somehow revealing a secret, you've come off as arrogant and insensitive.

(Please don’t invent quotes and write them as a separate paragraph – it looks as though I wrote the inflammatory text, when in fact I meant nothing of the kind.)

I thought that this news meant the show was ending and was surprised to read that actually the show would not change. So I thought I’d highlight this fact.

As the target of misunderstandings at times, I get it, and your meta-point is taken. My previous statement about the perceived insensitivity to the actual story, Tom's death, stands.
