I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

That's right - it was like a harpoon wasn't it? So functionally not entirely outside the realm of grappling hooks; just minus any hook part.

That's what I saw.
I came away thinking that the impalement wasn't necessarily targeted. Like that big honkin' log just happened to come through the windscreen...making the death all the more ignoble. Unhappy accident in a sea of violence.

'cause, you know...Joss is a fucker sometimes.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Oh, absolutely. I know *I* spent the rest of the movie after Wash *whimper* in complete and utter terror for My Crew.

funny. I often think/say/IM away message "I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar"... sometimes I hope for an errant tree log. Alas, Joss isn't my creator. I should be so lucky ;)
