Star Trek: Every Redshirt Death Ranked From Worst To Best
9. Blond Benedict Cumberbatch
Absolutely Hort' breaking.
Episode: Devil In The Dark (S1E25)
Cause Of Death: Horta’d
It was a bit hypocritical of the silicon-based, acid-oozing lifeform known as the Horta to write “NO KILL” to beg for its life at the end of the episode, because earlier on it was totally feeling “YES KILL” when it happened upon this toe head security officer who looks vaguely like a certain prominent British thespian.
This is probably the most horror-film-esque kill on the list. Our blond Redshirt wanders around in the darkness, the camera tracks in from the Horta’s POV and we see the sheer terror on his face as a giant sentient pile of meatballs and nacho cheese bears down upon him. Side note: the Horta looks delicious.
