I think you are missing at least one of his key arguments. A fridging is defined by its purpose, that a female character died for the sake of a male character's development. And you can't judge an event's purpose within the story until you have the full thing in front of you and can see all of that event's effects, short- and long-term.
IMO, Hermione died because she was in fact the most admirable character in the book. The stakes in our fight against death are all the things that make life worth living, not nameless drones in the security detail dressed in red.
Ensign Ricky's friends and family will miss him as much as Kirk will miss Spock.
I believe the point is that the viewers don't.
Alright, the droid armies in "attack of the clones."
