I actually sort of like it when Big Damn Heroes get stupid, random deaths. It feels more like life to me. I mean, what's the ratio of people who go out saving their friends / the planet / whatever to people who go out because they slipped on something or blinked and missed the oncoming car or got cancer or whatever. Big important people sometimes just die for no reason at all. It sucks. It's happened to me. Stories like this helped me, and continue to help me, deal with that.
I'm not a religious person, and I think death is mostly just random and meaningless. Stories that try and make some great big deal out of it usually just piss me off. Janeway was curious about something, got eaten by a floor, and was buggered off. Whoops. I don't think it means anything, and I don't think it's unworthy of the character. I think all death is unworthy of anyone, and beyond that all we're doing is splitting hairs.
After that though, how other people deal with it? That's a story; that's about life, and a conflict everyone has to face sooner or later. So, assuming Full Circle does that story well, I couldn't really possibly care that much about her death, where it happened, how it happened, or how conscious she was when it did. I see how other people would, but even if I hadn't liked Before Dishonor, it wouldn't have made any difference in my opinion of the plot twist itself.
