20 Most Messed Up Deaths From The Star Trek Movies

8. Time's Not The Only Fire

Two of the most messed up deaths in Star Trek: Generations occurred off-screen and light-years away. Captain Picard's news on the holodeck was that brother Robert and nephew René had burned to death in a fire at the family home. Marie Picard survived, presumably off using the neighbour's replicator.

In early drafts of the movie, writers had planned for Robert, and only Robert, to die of a heart attack out in the vineyard. According to The Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, it was, in fact, Patrick Stewart who suggested the fiery exit, and that little René should go up in flames too. You know, for more "emotional impact". Well, he certainly had a good cry!

In Ten Forward, somehow Soran's piece of poetry was just rubbing it in. His own plan to get back to paradise involved fire in the form of the Nexus, and death in the guise of the shockwave from an imploding star or several. Heaven's not a halfpipe, it's a half-baked idea!

Everyone — except Captain Picard and Soran — died on Veridian III, as did 230 million on the pre-warp Veridian IV. Then again, no one died, except Soran and Captain Kirk. Temporal mechanics be damned in the blaze below!
