I mean, narratively, killing Wash was an incredible decision. It changes the entire tone of the final act, because now it really feels like anyone could die. When the rest of the characters start racking up injuries there's a genuine tension. You start to wonder if maybe this is gonna be one of those "Heroes go out in a blaze of glory" endings.

Whedon is a cunt, but that was some excellent writing.
