Star Trek: Every Redshirt Death Ranked From Worst To Best

18. Crewman Matthews

Red comes before the fall.

Episode: What Are Little Girls Made Of? (S1E7)

Cause Of Death: Shoved off a cliff by Ruk, the big bald android.

Despite being the first Redshirt to perish on screen, Crewman Matthews earns the lowest ranking on this list because he unfortunately dies offscreen.

We don’t even get to see the surprised look on his face as he plummets to a bottomless chasm, after being shoved off of said cliff by a giant android in a muumuu. More on him later.

And judging by the long duration of his “AHHHHHHHHHHH” we can pretty safely assume that the chasm in question is indeed bottomless.
