10 Star Trek Villains With Lame Deaths

1. Narissa

Peyton Reed was given a bit of a tough task in the first season of Star Trek: Picard. Between Narissa and Harry Treadaway's Narek, a new evil duo was needed. They would seek to destabilise any peace talks between the Romulan Free State and the Federation. And also guard against synth life.

And also serve as Star Trek's answer to Jamie and Cersei Lannister, though thankfully this was more implied than explicitly shown.

Narissa, for all her evil, quickly became a forgettable villain. Her stand-out moments included killing Hugh (damn you!) and then falling to her death. The latter, seemingly final, moment comes at the end of Seven-of-Nine's boot. However, Narissa had shown herself to be in possession of personal transporters before, so there's a chance this wasn't her final fate.

With Picard now having come to the end of its run, it's unlikely that audiences will see Narissa again, so if that truly was her final fall - it was a bit of a damp squib of ending. This is even more of a shame as, with the reveal of the admonition, at least there was some character growth there toward the end of her season.

Some. A little. Wait, hang on - nope, it's gone.
