Many people die Star TrekAnd do so horribly. The boldly fact is fatal, but there is always something particularly sinister when the tragedy strikes at the lowest level of the official ladder of Starfleet: the modest lessons which keep any good vessel or a space station buzzing while they are trying to survive long enough to do it to do so at Lieutenant Junior and beyond. In the episode last week of Strange new worldsUnfortunately, we must see the poor bet of the brand. We take a look at some of his comrades who have also encountered destinies of the same dark.

O’Herlihy

The original Star Trek Can have the reputation that gave us “Redshirt” as a great cultural term for an easily commissionable support character, but really, the show did not kill many signs. Instead, he preferred to kill crewThe row enlisted below the brands, and did it with an imprudent abandonment, whatever the division.

Anyway, it brings us to a real Tos-Era Ensign Death in the form of Mr. O’Herihy, who was immediately vaporized by a disruptor from Gorn Strange new worlds“Gorn Adventures). Funny fact: O’Herlihy was played by Jerry Ayres, who would return to Star Trek– To be killed again – as a schooling Rizzo a season later in “Obsession”.

Sito Jaxa

Perhaps one of the deaths of the most famous brands – to the point that it has become a pivot emotional knot for Lower bridgesA spectacle almost entirely on the fate of teachings – and certainly dark. Sito Jaxa, of the famous Tng The episode “Lower decks” was a brand attributed to an incredibly dangerous secret mission after being put through the spinner by the Business-D senior executives. Affected to help a Cardassian space to realize Cardassian, the young Bajoran was finally detected by the Cardassian agents and killed while he was trying to return to the federation space in an escape pod.

A conn officer aboard the Business-D, last was found mutilated into pieces during the episode “Genesis”, in which the crew began to transform into grotesque monsters through a viral epidemic. Not only does this mean that Dern was mutilated to his station by a member of the crew, but the data confirmed, scanning his corpse, that Dern himself was in the first stages of the infection, to start. OOF.

Harry Kim (duplicate)

Traveler I found so many ways to kill Harry Kim and cancel him as he did to stop promoting it beyond the brand In fact, dead And then was replaced by his own quantum duplicate during the events of “the dead end”. TravelerThe meeting with a space split led to two versions of the ship, both “original”, trying to exist in the same space but out of phase with each other. A Harry Kim dies, sucked in space by a break in hull, while the other, alongside the newborn Naomi Wildman, goes to “the other” Traveler While one of the ships self-destructive.

Again, they are both Technically, the same Harry Kim, give or take a few hours of alternative memories caused by the split. But that means that part of Harry is still dead, and he must have just … continue living with that.

Imagine being blocked on a hostile planet, your ship stolen, then you immediately Be eaten by a giant eel creature. And SO Your skeletal remains continue to arouse a religious crisis for a completely different species of foreigners!

Not only does this poor brand (we can say it by the PIP one in its name) without name), but it is also the only member of TravelerThe crew of the bridge not to survive the ship trying to make its way through a nebula of the Mutara class, bombing the ship with radiation. Anyone can just groan pain and have a headache; This guy is The whole face burns.

Jetal

The death of Jetal was already pretty nasty – it was shot down by an unknown extraterrestrial during an outside mission with a impulse of devastating energy which made its way through its spine and in its brain, causing massive synaptic damage along the way. But the reason she died was due to the fact that there was only time to TravelerIt is EMH to operate on one of the two injured crews of the attack … and the other was Harry Kim, that the doctor chose because he knew better. Of course, it led the doctor himself to have to explore a personal trauma the next day, but always dying because the operational doctor did not know you well rough.

Burrows

Of Business Episode “Daedalus”, Burrows was killed after having touched a space distortion which finally proved to be a signal of a transporter emerging from a complex experience. The meeting of distortion subjected ground to undergo a “cellular disturbance”, essentially his body imploding at the cellular level, leaving his face hidefully distorted to death.

Connor

Another entry on this victim list of being spaced, Connor died during the Battle of the Binary Stars DiscoveryFirst. But what makes his death in particular is the fact that he was not aware of what was going on: injured on the ShenzhouThe bridge of the conflict, he was sent to Sickbay for only treatment, in a state of delirium, walking in the Brigs for a few moments before undergoing a shell.

Cortese

Another Discovery Brand, another spacing. Ensign Cortez dies while trying to stay too long to repair the damage to the ship before the emergency strength fields, preventing his escape in time, but apart from this layer of tragedy, he is also sucked in a bankruptcy of subspace that the ship explores in a void that we had already seen violently disintegrate a robotic probe.

Niko and Angie

Technically, one of them may not necessarily be a mass of the death of the brand, if only because the involved brand may never have been a real brand. Two dating officers who were friends of Beckett Mariner aboard the USS QuitoNiko turned out to be a change of Harvongian form, which turns caught in its true form, apparently triggered by marine could Be a change of Harvongian shape. Niko devoured her girlfriend, Angie, before being subjected to submission by the Quito crew.

Alvarado

ENSIGN ALVARADO

The death of Alvarado is more horrible existing than anything else. A soldier fighting on the planet I have during the Klingon Federation War, he was fatally injured during the fight and, with the aim of sorting limited medical resources, held in a tampon of transporter model by Dr. M’Benga and the nursing chapel until a starship with a surgery bay can arrive. Unfortunately for the poor Alvarado, an attack on Klingon disrupted the power supply of the medical base, requiring a restart of the transporter systems to make them work at all … completely serving the backlog, including its biological model. Death by making your computer empty the basket.

Middleton

Is it death if you never existed technically in the first place? It was the fate of a poor mediocaine medium aboard the Traveler-A during the Prodigy Episode “The Devur of all things, Part II”. Attacked by a transdimensional creature called a loom, Middleton has been entirely eradicated from time and space so that it is completely forgotten, never existing … and only remembers people carrying temporal discriminators at the time of his death.

Bet

And that updates us with Ensign Gamble. He is lucky to have a horrible mix of death And Existential nightmares: the young doctor, a few months after his display on board the BusinessThe bet is killed instantly when a little orb containing a hostile spirit called Vezda. This explores not only to GORILY its two eyeballs, but also leads it to be quickly possessed by the Vezda, killing it and mixing its corpse in an attempt to sabotage the Business And taking control of its systems before Dr. M’Benga only achieves Gamble is no longer at home.
