20 Most Messed Up Deaths From The Star Trek Movies

13. Spike Me Down

Star Trek: Nemesis was Star Trek's nemesis, or so the legend goes. 'Franchise fatigue' had kicked in, though it would take more than two years for almost forty years — and Star Trek: Enterprise — to be put to bed. 'Sounding the death knell' was a burden Nemesis hardly deserved. The real villain of the piece was Shinzon. His downfall was down a spike.

Technically already dead before his actual demise, Shinzon had failed to get the blood he needed from his doppelgänger. He went all out for blood against the Federation instead. His ship, the Scimitar, was, by definition and design, the weapon — the blade — stopped in its tracks by the blunt force of the incoming Enterprise-E. Taking a run-up at his older alternate, Shinzon met the end, his end, of that rather pointy bit of metal.

For all-intents-and-purposes, Picard then had to witness his own youth edge its way up to die, though not before trying to strangle him. In Shinzon, Jean-Luc had killed that part of himself which no longer stared back in the mirror, but in photos from the Academy. It's little wonder the captain stood motionless in the aftermath. Freud wouldn't have touched that one with a bargepole, let alone the spike!

Of course, Data then died to prove he was the most alive.
