Star Trek: Every Redshirt Death Ranked From Worst To Best

Episode: Elaan of Troyius (S3E13)

Cause Of Death: Neck broken by a flamboyantly-dressed saboteur

Watson walks into engineering and finds a pants-less dandy who looks like he just triple-axled right off of the ice rink. And he’s fiddlin’ with the warp engines!

You’d think he would have slipped into something more comfortable than his figure skating outfit, like a black turtleneck or something. Although maybe the lack of pants suggests he was in the middle of changing, then looked at his watch and realized he’d miss his window of opportunity.

So he hoofs it to engineering, leaving both his pants and turtleneck in his quarters. Anyway, the ice dancer snaps Watson’s neck, who’s probably feeling super embarrassed that this guy, this guy, is the one who does him in.
