Star Trek: Every Redshirt Death Ranked From Worst To Best
7. Lt. Grant
No sudden movements around the space frisbee dudes.
Episode: Friday’s Child (S2E11)
Cause of Death: Impaled by a space frisbee
Lt. Grant must have been super wound-up before he beamed down to the surface of Capella IV, because the second he sees a Klingon his first thought is to shout “KLINGON!” (rude) and draw a phaser. Was he planning on killing the Klingon?
If so, that’d be very uncool, because as Captain Kirk points out literally all the time, The Federation is not engaged in open war with the Klingon Empire. Even if he wasn’t going to kill the Klingon, it was enough for the pony-tailed Capellan to immediately toss a deadly space frisbee, I mean kligat, at the hot-headed Lt. Grant, who is dead proof that the phrase “Act casual if you see a Klingon” should be part of the Redshirt handbook.
