10 Best Star Trek Fight Scenes

7. Elnor Vs Tenqem Adrev - Absolute Candor

Picking just one battle that Elnor has fought in Star Trek: Picard wasn't easy. The young Romulan wracked up quite the kill count in the first two seasons, with a seemingly insatiable lust for blood. While that may be a little harsh, there certainly was enough of the red and green stuff splattering the decks when his sword was drawn.

This entry, while we focus on the first fight, should also be seen as something of a celebration of all of his skills. Never, ever, hand this man a pointed combadge. You have been warned. However, what is even more certain is that one should never challenge him to a sword fight.

When Picard runs afoul of the ex-senator Tenqem Adrev while on the surface of the planet Vashti. Elnor steps in to defend the man. He gives Adrev fair warning, imploring the Romulan to 'Choose To Live'. The answer is an attempt to defeat Elnor. Someone really should have told the fool that when one engages in combat with a member of the Qu'wot Milat, the outcome is always certain.

Adrev's head has barely finished bouncing across the square before Elnor leaves Vashti with Jean-Luc.
