Archer and the airlock scene ("Anomaly").

This one reminds me another Archer incident: When he orders Malcolm to destroy the outpost in Azati Prime, murdering the 3 defenseless Xindi. You really don't expect that kind of thing from a Trek captain.

The Xindi crew at Azati Prime were all soldiers, weren't they? For all intents and purposes, the Xindi were at war with Earth, so that could be construed as a military attack. The outpost was dedicated to producing a weapon that would eventually *destroy Earth*, so Archer's attack on it was understandable.

All we know about those Xindi is that there were three of them. They could have been civilians. The ones in The Shipment were. And T'Pol told Archer it would be several hours before the station would be in a position to report their presence... There was no urgency (and he could have dispatched MACOs to disable the station. Take the operators prisoner.)
All I'm saying is that I was surprised by the decision.

Yar's Death - The first time I saw it, I was shocked that a regular was killed. Up until then, I had never seen a seres that was willing to kill off a character.

 

[D Man]

The ending to "Azati Prime" had me pretty shocked, they were REALLY getting pummeled there. But of course, the next episode had that attack called off for plot-driven reasons. At least the ship stayed damaged through the end of the season! Speaking of which...alien Nazis, anyone? Shocking not necessarily in a good way, but still a great moment.

when i heard that the ENT finale was going to be a holodeck episode using Riker and Troi from SEASON FUCKING SEVEN!

 

[MANT!]

Death of Spock
Destruction of Enterprise in Search for Spock

Stuka's being used to carry the Alien Nazi plasma cannons..that was a WTF moment for me..

 

[Mike Farley]

Worf refusing to participate in a blood transfusion to save the life a Romulan soldier in THE ENEMY.

The destruction of The Enterprise in the teaser to CAUSE AND EFFECT.

 

[StarMan]

What about Voyager's 'Fair Haven' and 'Spirit Folk'?

They DID shock me.

 

[Silvermane]

Definately the destruction of the 1701.

I'd have to say the use of the Vulcan Death Grip in the "Enterprise Incident." I was young at the time and bought it hook, line and sinker.

Imagine how we old-timers felt watching the third season finale of M*A*S*H more than a decade before Yar's death.

It was still a shock though, no doubt about it. Shows are braver about that these days, but it's still pretty rare.

Riker turning Data off to make his point during the trial to decide if Data is a living being or not.

My response as an opposing lawyer would have been to surprise Riker with an injection that would put him in a medically induce coma and say that humans can also be turned off.

Even as a Voyager fan they were bad!

I like that.

That was a surprise to me, but shocking was when they stole a ship's warp core leaving the crew stranded in the Expanse at sub warp speeds, many light years from home. It nails the sense of desperation the crew was feeling to stop the Xindi.

-When Data died.

Kirk's death was spoiled for me in a magazine i think. Data's was not. friends of mine refused to watch it with me so i had to go alone, and they couldn't understand why i wasn't excited after watching "my new star trek movie"

 

[Corran Horn]

The Jem'Hadar doing a kamikaze against the Odyssey. I think that's the only point in all of Trek where I was genuinely surprised. I even thought..."That could have been the Enterprise."

 

[CommanderRaytas]

I didn't know Kirk was going to die in Generations, and since I was only 11 back then (and it was the first Trek movie I saw at the cinema) it really shocked me. Like, really, really, really. I cried. Sort of ridiculous.

Don't feel bad. I wanted to cry too when I realized that they actually thought falling off a bridge was a great and heroic way for Kirk to go out.

Quite right you are, my friend. Down he went and I was all "WTF" at the cinema. I didn't want to believe it. But... oh well.

T'Pol's ass.
