I remember people being surprised at Babylon Five because it was one of the first SF shows that would take the risk of killing off a major character. Up until then, shows might put a major character at terrible risk, but not kill him. Or if he DID die, some magical/technological way was found to bring him back.
As much as my heart might be broken at the loss of a character I loved, I'd rather they died and stayed that way than to have some contrived, unbelievable resurrection. The only thing that annoys me more is the insertion of the Magic Baby...but that's a subject for another time.
