10 Most Messed Up Deaths In Star Trek: Voyager

Ooh, a nebula! Nothing bad's ever happened in Star Trek in one of those, right? Especially not one named 'Mutara'! We'll be fine. Let's go straight in! Sorry, will you excuse me for just one second? I seem to have a slight twinge of a headache coming on. That's the last time we're using Neelix's homemade ointment, too! Just joking again, of course. The reality for one crewmember was much worse — deadly, subnucleonic radiation, worse.

In One, Ensign No-Name at the back of the bridge couldn't just take an analgesic and whack a dermal regenerator across it. "He's dead," Seven of Nine gave as her expert, and completely necessary (!), diagnosis, after she'd rolled the guy over like he was a comatose targ who'd been at the bloodwine. Dead he definitely was, and in the most dreadful fashion, as if all the radiation from the nebula had decided to focus in his direction. As for the poor guy's face, let's just say it made Neelix's inflamed sunburn (suns-burn?) in Tsunkatse look positively pleasant by comparison.

For the rest of the crew, it was night-night in stasis pods, with or without the teddy bear. Notice that Tom Paris went walkabouts a total of four times during the trip through the nebula and didn't suffer anything close to the same fate as the bloke on the bridge! Before Voyager, the crew of the NX-01 had undergone a similar experience. Doctor Phlox nearly shot Porthos, but everyone else was fine!
