In all seriousness, only the writers of both truly understand war well enough to write the deaths they are writing. JKR made some argument when Deathly Hallows came out that war is random and hateful; war doesn't care that you've made some great personal journey and now you're suddenly you're a better person.
Apparently the Lost writers are doing the same thing: ignoring the emotional journeys of characters so instead they can SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS get crushed by random metal objects and drown in a sinking submarine. In retrospect, I'm really glad that I chose to not attend the group Lost watching session in my student center because I would have been sobbing, rather than somewhat less (more?) pathetically crying alone in bed the next morning.
