10 "No Body, No Death" Cases In Star Trek

10. Ro Laren

Ro has been, for the most part, our poster child when it comes to this article's theme. We were very pleasantly surprised by her return in Imposters, even if that episode set out to absolutely ruin our good moods. As time has gone on, the ending of the episode has taken on a more sombre, bittersweet vibe - rather than the rage-inducing thought of 'are you serious?! We JUST got her back!'

However, and showrunner Terry Matalas has discussed this, there exists a version of The Last Generation wherein Ro would be discovered alive and relatively well, sequestered away in the brig of the Intrepid. Alas, as often happens in television and cinema, budgets, schedules, and more stepped in the way to prevent her glorious return (again).

Saying that it still gives us hope. Though her shuttle exploded in a spectacular display, we did not see her burn. Could she have beamed out at the last moment? According to the man who made the show, yes, yes she could! 

So, we do hope you'll join us again in thirty years when we check in with our elusive Bajoran friend, one who seems to take the 'Adele makes an album' approach to Star Trek appearances.
