Yeah, but Wash's death didn't serve any narrative point, either. It just happens and then the movie's over. In good writing, death should have a point, even if it's just to show how the other characters react to it. Shepherd's death, senseless as it was, had a point. Wash's didn't.

The point was to make the audience believe that any (or all) of the characters could die, that no one was safe, in order to ramp up the tension. So there was a point to his death. It was just a shitty point.

JW's been saying that for years before Firefly. By this point, we were well aware that he was a sadist.

Eh, to pull that off, he really needed to kill at least one more title character. If someone had died holding off the Reavers, or Mal had died facing the Operative, it would've been emotionally satisfying. With everyone else making it out alive, it just feels like cheap tension-ramping for the sake of tension-ramping.
