10 Most Unexpected Star Trek Moments

11. Honourable Mention: The Enterprise Self-Destructs

This should have been one of the biggest and most heartbreaking shocks in all of Star Trek's history. The USS Enterprise, the original and beloved ship that had carried Kirk and crew through all of their travels and adventures, is sacrificed above the Genesis Planet.

Except, they not only put it in the trailer, but re-cut it to look like it was destroyed by the Klingons. It would possibly be fair to say that the shock comes from how the Enterprise was destroyed, but let this stand as another example of giving away far far too much in the trailer!

All of that said, it is still hard not to tear up, all of these years later, seeing the old girl go.

We salute you!
