20 Most Messed Up Deaths From The Star Trek Movies

9. Taking A Leak

Oh, the perennial toilet question! ("Don't you people from the twenty-fourth century ever pee?") In Star Trek: First Contact, Zefram Cochrane's pressing need was practically prescient. Later, 'taking a leak,' of the plasma coolant kind, would mean death by dissolution for the Borg Queen (and Data's sexy-time skin).

"Resistance is futile" had never been said with such vehemence. Tank ruptured, coolant began to flood engineering. Talk about a toxic work environment! No danger money in the different economics of the 24th century for the officers who usually worked there was at least a good way to take out the mini-Collective that had set up shop behind the red door.

The Borg Queen could only hang on to Locutus in a last-ditch bid for survival. The android she'd picked, and picked apart, as a replacement soon rose up, de-skinned, like the ultra-modern Prometheus, to grab her. In the yellow-green soup below, the Queen's flesh melted away — visceral without the viscera. Her down-through-the-bone-chilling screams were matched by her drones in the throes of a second death on the upper level.

All that remained of those directly exposed to the coolant was a smouldering cybernetic husk. Snap of the chrome spinal cord, her majesty was no more, until the next time… and the next time… and the next time.
