20 Most Messed Up Deaths From The Star Trek Movies

3. Can't Get You Out Of My Head

Earworms are annoying, though rarely anything to worry about. Ear eels, on the other hand, tend to stick around longer than any overly catchy tune. Marching to the beat of his own very loud drum was the titular wrathful of Star Trek II, determined to insert things, and himself, back into the galaxy.

This wasn't Ceti Alpha VI. It was a messed up ENT clinic, liable for more than malpractice. High up on the list of 'worse things than death' is having one of Khan's collection of little buggers crawl down your auditory canal. That fate was reserved for both Chekov and Terrell, though only one of them died from it. At the time, the Commander surely wished he had.

We'll get to him and his colleagues in the next entry. Terrell self-dispatched, the Ceti eel inside Chekov made a quick exit in more ways than one.
