10 Worst Ways To Die In The Stargate Universe
8. Developing Explosive Tumors
One of the saddest deaths from the entire Stargate franchise came in the Stargate Atlantis episode "Sunday" when Dr. Carson Beckett was killed. The death came as a surprise at the end of the episode, and it shattered fans' belief that the core characters were safe from being killed.
Dr. Beckett died from an explosion, which isn't a fun way to go, but it's not the death that lands his demise on this list. Instead, it's all about his patient and the one he wasn't able to save. In the episode, an Ancient device is found that turns people into weapons.
The device emits a form of radiation that creates large tumors in the body, but these aren't your run-of-the-mill tumors. Instead, they are explosive and capable of transforming anyone irradiated by the device into a walking, talking time bomb. The scientists who discover it, Hewston and Watson, suffer this fate.
Dr. Beckett managed to save Watson, but the tumor he extracted exploded, killing him after the surgery. Hewston wasn't so lucky, and a few hours prior, she mysteriously blew up, killing three people. Her death was instantaneous, but she exploded from the inside-out, killing her friends & colleagues.
