10 Worst Ways To Die In The Stargate Universe

10. Getting Hit With Freeze Lightning

Imagine you're attending the poshest party in the world alongside the likes of Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson. It's a splendid affair, requiring your signature on a ridiculously long contract, but it's all going to be worth it... until you realize you're smack dab in the middle of the Stargate Atlantis episode, "Brain Storm."

The party in question was attended by Dr. Rodney McKay and Dr. Jennifer Keller, so it would never be a safe affair. The scientific demonstration at the party involved the initiation of a Matter Bridge, which was technology stolen from the aforementioned McKay.

When it's turned on to combat global warming, the massive heatsink designed to contain the heat fails and instead draws in too much heat from one direction. The resulting drop in warm temperatures generates an arctic cold that generates something unexpected: freeze lightning.

Freeze lightning shoots randomly throughout the facility, though it's first discovered when it slams into an unsuspecting partygoer. It instantly freezes half of his body, killing him where he stands. Getting hit with freeze lightning may cause instant death (if you're lucky), but it's nonetheless a horrible way to die.
