Dead Main Characters

[erastus25]

Just for fun, I'm trying to come up with a list of all the deaths of main characters in all the series. I thought there was a list already on Memory Alpha but I couldn't find it.

This is just off the top of my head, so I'm sure I missed some. Please help fill it in!

TOS:
Kirk - Spock kills him in Amok Time. Nexus kills him in Generations. Dies for real at the end of Generations.
Spock - The Wrath of Khan
Scotty - zapped by Nomad in "The Changeling."

TNG:
Picard - Killed by the Borg in the alternate timeline seen in "Parallels"
Riker - KIA in battle with Klingons in "Yesterday's Enterprise"
Data - Head blown off in "Time's Arrow." Dies at the end of "Nemesis."
Yar - Killed by Armus in "Skin of Evil"
Worf - Dies during spinal surgery
Wesley - Moves on to a "higher level of being" (not sure if this counts as dead or not. I'm ignoring the cameo in Nemesis. That was probably a holodeck recreation. )

DS9:
Sisko - Dies at the end of "What you Leave Behind"
Dukat - Dies at the end of "What You Leave Behind"
Jadzia - Dies in Tears of the Prophet

(I've seen significantly less of Voyager and Enterprise so I'm sure I've missed several here. Especially considering the number of alternate timelines in VOY)

VOY:
Harry Kim when Voyager is split in half
Kes - moves on to a higher level of being (might have died)
Neelix - Dies and is revived by Borg technology several hours later
Capt. Janeway - Mentioned as deceased by Naomi Wildman when Voyager is split into multiple timeframes

Enterprise:
Trip - Dies in last episode.

PS: I decided to include scenarios when the characters were presumed dead as well - hence Kirk's "deaths" in Amok Time and Generations.

Yar also died in the Romulan prison camp following Yesterday's Enterprise.

 

[Smiley]

One Naomi Wildman also died in "Deadlock."

How deep down do we go for "main characters"? If we count Scotty from TOS, we might also count Major Hayes from ENT S3, or Joe Carey from VOY.

Also, "presumed dead" would mean Kirk in "Tholian Web", possibly the whole shuttle crew in "The Galileo Seven", and so forth...

And do we count the times a (later reversed) disaster befalling the entire hero ship killed all or most main characters in a time travel episode? Say, "City on the Edge" or "Cause and Effect". Or the entire mankind in "All Good Things..." for that matter.

Apart from those, I wager the list from the first three posts is already complete. :thumbsup:

The Sisko doesn't die in WYLB, the Prophets "rescue" him as it were from the fires, and he's with them in the Wormwhole now.
And as he says at the end, he will be back at some point

 

[LeadHead]

I know everyone's gonna hate me for reminding them of "Threshold," but Tom Paris died for a few hours there.
Also Data went into a dead mode for a minute in "Contagion." Geordi pronounced him "gone."
Also, the entire Voyager crew bought it in "Course: Oblivion."

 

[Sisu]

Chekov died in Spectre of the Gun.

Worf and Wesley die in Hide and Q.

Everyone on the Enterprise D dies many times over the 17 days caught in a causality loop in Cause and Effect.

Deanna Troi is dead in the future timeline in All Good Things.... The Enterprise crew die 3 times in this episode as well.

Geordi dies in a parallel universe in Parallels.

Seven and Chakotay are dead in the future timeline in Endgame.

B'lanna is dead at least twice in Barge of the Dead.

His phyical body died, the Prophets took his spirit. A persons spirit/soul is said to be non-coporeal.


Anywhoo, Janeway & Be'Lanna both die during the "Year of Hell" in the ep. "Before & After".

Kes dies at the start of "Before & After".

Janeway dies in "Coda".

Future Harry, Chakotay die in "Timeless"

The entire crew dies in "Timeless"

Dupes of the entire Voy. crew die in "Course: Oblivion"

Klingon Be'Lanna dies in "Faces".

 

[Sisu]

Picard dies in Tapestry.

 

[Kryton]

A youthful Picard dies at the hand of a Nausicaan in "Tapestry", though he's revived after an artificial heart is installed in him.

 

[Pegaritaville]

Miles O'Brien dies of radiation posioning in DS9's "Visionary" and is replaced by an alternate version of himself from the future. The replacement is only from a few hours in the future, but it is a alternative O'Brien- the original bit the dust in the episode.

Well, for main characters I meant mostly the big 7 from TOS and any characters listed in the opening credits for the other series. Of course, one could argue to include other characters like Nurse Chapel. And I included Dukat because he's the driving force behind much of the conflict on the final few seasons of DS9. Really, the description is totally debatable - but I think it's kind of fun that way.

As for presumed dead I should have said presumed dead by the viewer. Or, more accurately, written in such a way that the writers wish the viewer to presume the character dead.

And, yes, I am including later reversed deaths and timelines. For what it's worth I don't think the Enterprise crew in COTEOF counted because they never died. They simply didn't exist.

 

[Tralis]

Weyoun. For real. Over and over.

3 times we don't see.
Shot by subordinate (To The Death)
Transporter Accident (between episodes)
Suicide (Treachery, Faith, and the Great River)
Neck Snapped by Worf (Strange Bedfellows)
Shot by Garak (What You Leave Behind)

 

[bluedana]

From ENT:

Travis in Dead Stop.
The entire crew in Twilight.
Archer in Zero Hour.
Trip and Hoshi in Observer Effect.

 

[JD]

Would you count Forrest in The Forge? I know he wasn't a main character, but he was one of Ents. main recurring characters.

 

[McCoy]

Didn't Harry (VOY) also die in that episode where people buried their dead on an asteroid or something?

 

[Sisu]

No, he was alive, as the dead person was transported to the moon Harry was picked up and taken back.

 

[TGTheodore]

McCoy died in "Shore Leave."

--Ted

 

[JiNX-01]

Spock also "killed" Kirk in "The Enterprise Incident."
Kirk was also presumed dead in "Tholian Web."

 

[Sisu]

I mean, if all this death happened in real life, no one would believe it.....
