Most disturbing scene in star trek?

OK, I just answered your question in my previous post if you would care to read it: Riker was there. What I quoted was from that scene you evidently are referring to. But neither Crusher nor Riker know exactly how the virus is transmitted.
 
For all Riker new, all she had to do was spit on him, possibly even just sneeze at him, so I disagree. A clear field with her in the firing zone was really indicated.

From a transcript (the scene immediately before Riker beams over):
RIKER: How could this virus have been transmitted, Doctor?
CRUSHER: More ways than I can count. And it's perfectly safe to the carrier as long as he doesn't have the same DNA patterns.
Riker does not know what is safe and what isn't.

Guven that Riker and Yuta were getting all smoochy earlier in the episode, I think it's safe to say he knew he could touch her.
 
Yes, that's what I was thinking.

Doubts about the specific virus being deadly to the intended victim, but not the carrier, or anyone else, all of that aside.

If nothing else, Riker should have remembered his romantic interlude with Yuta. He really should have had no problem physically holding her back rather than phasering her to death.

Gruesome for gruesome's sake.
 
Good idea. What if she overpowers them all and then touches him anyway? Sounds kind of risky to me. Potentially creating greater confusion is not a good way to protect someone.
 
Remmick getting the Mr. Creosote treatment was definitely disturbing.

I was always disturbed by TOS "Whom Gods Destroy" with Marta being asphyxiated in the poison atmosphere of Elba II and then being "mercifully" blown up by Garth. As a young kid, it was super disturbing - as an adult male, it's still disturbing (but at least partially because Yvonne Craig doesn't get any more screen time!)

:guffaw:

Picard: And how are we today, Commander?

Remmick: Better.

Picard: Better?

Remmick: Better get a bucket. I'm gonna throw up!!!
Picard: And finally, monsieur, a phaser-thin beam.

Remmick: No.

Picard: Oh sir! It's only a tiny little thin one.

Remmick: No. F**k off - I'm full!

Picard: Oh sir... it's only phaser thin.

Remmick (who just swallowed a cockroachy/crabby/thingy): Look - I couldn't eat another thing. I'm absolutely stuffed. Bugger off.

Picard: Oh sir, just... just one...

Remmick: Oh all right. Just one.

Picard: Just the one, sir... voila... bon appetit...

...Thank you, sir, and now the check.

Picard and Riker blasting Lt. Commander Remmick's head off in "Conspiracy". I just sat there thinking, "Wow- did I just see that?!" A pretty disturbing image, and not what I was used to seeing on Star Trek....

That always did it for me.

The ear bugs in STII come in second place.
 
Khan putting the earbugs in Chekov and Terrel...the music, the screaming, the worms crawling in the helmets... Aaaaaahhhhhhggg!!!!!

Also, Tasha dying. That rasping oilslick KILLS one of the regulars, we get one of the all-time great, genuinely touching, funerals ever, and she STAYS dead at episode's end. Both these scenes disturbed me.
 
When Janeway said: she was going to make a deal with the devil in "Scorpion: part I". It sounded like she was going to help a serial killer kill again, or something of that nature. There was something in the tone of her voice that gave me the creeps and chills up my spines. The last time I heard something like that was when a district attorney was making a plea bargain with some pervert in order to get a crucial information so she could convict a serial killer, and making sure he got the death penalty, accept Janeway wasn't in prison or a proscecutor. I don't know what was going through head. [chuckle] :scream:
 
Melvin Belli in a shower curtain in And The Children Shall Lead. Seriously, Gorgan scared the hell out of me when I was a little kid. Also, when I was young, the scene in Charlie X where Charlie erased the woman's face disturbed me and I found the salt vampire almost too freaky to look at.
 
Yeah, when I was a kid TOS definitely had its moments.

As an adult, Conspiracy still makes me squirm, so to speak. :)
 
When Chief was taken prisoner by the cardassians and was stripped tortured and then had his tooth yanked out.

Looking at the Vidians was pretty harsh too
 
Approximately two minutes of this over all the screen. When I saw it first time, it almost scared the shit out of me

A close second would be that episode where Kirk looks out and sees "some... Thing..." crawling around out on top of the Enterprise's left nacelle.

That was a pretty good scene. I agree with you, I wasn't expecting them to blow his head off heh. Still great though.
