mine is season 2 united we stand

For some reason I like the series 1 episodes better, as you can tell from my fave 5 episodes: Some like it hot, Childhood's end, Divided loyalities, Moving on and United we stand (Thats in viewing order, not favorite order)

My children have been totally traumatised by Flowers death. They cried themselves to sleep after two hours of histrionics after tonights episode. Tomorrow they are building a little memorial in the garden.

My DD daughter said she felt like I had died

Thank you so much, Shakespearerules, for that beautiful poem. My boyfriend and I have been really down since we saw Flower's death. We were both totally shocked and I couldn't stop crying! The fact that she died protecting her pups shows just what sort of Meerkat she was- brave and true.
My parents think we're being silly but we really think that the world has lost a special girl.
I can't think of any human world leader who was as smart, strong, courageous and compassionate. She was quick thinking and fair- a true great leader.
I feel so bad for Zaphod
My heart goes out to the team who studies the Whiskers- they must have been so devastated.
We're going to miss Flower greatly.

I do not think the AP/Discovery team thought anything about the emotional effects of this tragedy on adults much less the children. You were there to love and hug your children. I am an adult, my memorial to Flower is completed, also in the garden.

OMG I´ve just seen the episode where Flower dies..I´m not a person who cries on movies or stuff like that but I could not stop the tears falling now.. I knew it was coming but somehow I was not prepared to see this poor little animal dying.. I loved her so much. I´m a MM fan since the beginning and it´s such a loss Since I´m watching the series I´m always visiting meerkats in the ZOO.. I simply love them, and the death of this little meerkat just made me cry, i´m so sad Dear Flower, sweetie, we´ll miss you and love you forever <3

that is very toucing i miss flower she was my favorite meerkat i have watched her from the beginning its just sad thats shes gone.

our dearest darling flower,u came u ruled u gave birth to the future,u will live o thru your many children.

Our dear Flower has passed on. I, like others, was totally devastated tonight when I watched my Friday night regular Meerkat shows. I know what happened to Flower is life in the wild but that really doesn't make it any easier to see her gone. The braveness, kindness and warmth she had was so special and it was seen tonight before she passed when she carried the pup of their enemy into her camp to love and take care of. I will always remember her and to me she will always be the "Whiskers". I can't imagine that there will ever be another leader like our beloved Flower.

My husband and I have been fans of Meerkat Manor since the beginning. The shows seem to be getting sadder and sadder though and tonight was truly the saddest of all. I don't think it will ever be the same without Flower's leadership, couragesness, bravery and love for her family. We will truly miss her.

I just watched the most recent episode of Meerkat Manor and ws devasted and saddened when I learned of Flower's death. Unlike many, I was not aware of her passing until I watched this episode. This brave and strong little meerkat did so much to ensure the survival of her family, even when her actions often seemed cruel to those of us watching. Life in the wild is never an easy one for any animal. Kalahari life won't be the same without this tiny heroine. I am saddened for the researchers who must stand by and watch life take its natural course, when it often means death for those they watch and study. Flower will be dearly missed. I will pray for her little family, and hope that their next leader lives up to Flower's legacy.
Rest in Peace, dear Flower.

I saw the episode today i cried mt eyes out. I cant get the picture of poor flower dying out of my head! She was a great leader and i dont think the Kalahari will be the same without her!
Flower we miss you and love you! You truly were the Queen Of The Kalahari
