Very Weird Deaths:

[In_Correct]

Is there a list of very weird deaths?
If not, here is one!

I already know about Tasha Yar, but here are even weirder deaths:

The commanding officer woman in "Who Watches The Watchers?" dies without any clear explanation, not even a "cause unknown"! She is the one that walks by the view screen before the reactor explodes. She looks like Judy Cornwell (Daisy from Keeping Up Appearances)

The woman in "The Most Toys". that episode reminds me of an episode of TOS with a spoiled dictator and a plotting female servant (a green woman) that was tortured and killed.

The woman in "In Theory" that sank into a deck plate.

and the Telepathic guy resembling Harry Kim who witnessed an 8 year old murder and thought he did it.

 

[Triskelion]

Oh, how about the helmsman Nagilum killed with shaken baby syndrome!

 

[Paradise City]

Yeah, that episode where Riker has sleeping problems and is abducted by the gigantic grasshoppers. There's this one guy who left his blood behind and winds up back on the ship stone dead. Captain Picard completely forgets the poor sod at the end the episode merrily pronouncing 'everyone safe and accounted for'.

In Too Short A Season the Admiral character reverse-aged to death.
The best one by far is the phaser death suffered by Lt. Commander Remmick at the end of Conspiracy.

 

[FormerLurker]

That one wasn't weird, it was messy. Very messy.

And it was fairly quick. I don't see why Remmick deserved to get his head blown off but otherwise I was not bothered by it. The others I found were unnecessarily prolonged.

I don't recall that death from Schism's. I have avoided that episode for years. It has a "Where Silence Has Lease" feel to it.

Yuta From The Clan Trelesta.

and

Calvin Hutchinson.

Remmick was already dead at that point, he was basically a hollowed out marionette.

In The Neutral Zone, everyone else on that capsule died in cryogenic stasis.

15 people in Q Who when a slice was extracted from the ship.

The old woman in Man of the People aged to death by negative emotions telepathically imposed on her.

Not to mention all the security personnel who die because they forget to go behind cover in a phaser fight.

 

[Paradise City]

Quinn's (Q) death in Voyager. And the parents of the Q girl in a hurricane in that episode where Q turns Dr. Crusher into a dog. "Well, when you put it that way..."

I think the crewman who died in Schisms had his blood replaced by some kink of chemical by the aliens who were running experiments on them.

This was already mentioned, the woman who sank through the deck when it went out of phase in the episode In Theory. She was basically cut in half.

 

[Terok Nor]

Future Deanna's death in All Good Things. Broken in half by Worf. I won't say what they were doing at the time.

Oh, how about the helmsman Nagilum killed with shaken baby syndrome!

I think so too. They introduced a character, said his name and everything, only to kill him off the same episode!

The crew of the SS Tsiolkovsky in 'The Naked Now', when they blew the emergency hatch on the bridge (why is a hatch on the bridge that leads directly outside even a thing?) while in fits of giggles and were sucked/blown out into space.

I'm convinced "Weird Space Shit" is a legitimate cause of death in the 24th century...

Based on Doctor Crusher's description, his blood was replaced with Silly Putty.

The emergency hatch is how our heroes got out of the BOP in STIV. It's a thing because when you crash on a planet, it's a great way to get out of the ship.

 

[Paradise City]

Are we sure that's the bridge in the Naked Now? I didn't clearly identify a specific bridge depicted on-screen for that ship although maybe my 1. my memory fails me 2. people have better antennae to deduce these things than I do.

I see your point but it certainly could do with more safeguards. Why not have it in a sealed corridor/room just off the bridge? Obviously a space-drunk crew member deciding to get some fresh air is an extreme example, but it seemed like it was fairly easy to open.

And what if it's defective in some way? You get the entire bridge crew blown into space because of a faulty seal or something. "Hey Tim, what's that hissing sound?" "I don't know, but it sure sounds important. Bridge to maintenan-WHOOOSH" "Bridge, maintenance here. Bridge? Tim? Bob? ...Anyone?"

Edit: @Paradise City, you had me questioning myself then as it's been a long time since I watched the episode, but I've always remembered it as being the bridge since I first saw it when I was a child. This is from the synopsis on Memory Alpha:

They approach a distorted screen which Riker makes out as the bridge. Data successfuly repairs the screen to clear the static, to which they see the bridge is empty of all loose items, and people; and is open to space; the emergency hatch was indeed blown. Riker remarks the crew were all sucked out into space, to which Data corrects him, stating that they were instead "blown out."

Genesis, the helmsman mauled to death by his crew mate.

You also wonder how many crew were eaten by Worf.

Maybe Kirk should have hacked the emergency hatch instead of the shields in TWOK. The battle would have been over faster.

Fair post but I must admit I burst out laughing reading this post.

 

[Silvercrest]

So did I! Come to think of it, it needs a "like".
