Star Trek: Every Redshirt Death Ranked From Worst To Best
1. Crewman Herndorf
Crewman Herndorf wins. At dying.
Episode: The Apple (S2E5)
Cause Of Death: Poisoned by projectile thorns from a murder flower
Crewman Herndorf sees a pretty flower in the jungle, and wants to show his Captain. But much like our exploding rock, this isn’t any ordinary flower. It’s a murder flower.
He leans in for a sniff, and with a puff of pollen like a floral musket, the homicidal plant unloads its full complement of poisonous thorns right into Herndorf’s chest. And to top it all off it makes a “BOY-OY-OY-OING!” sound when it fires.
This death perfectly illustrates in the most hilarious and unexpected way that the Final Frontier is a wondrous place full of weird, terrifying, deadly things. Especially if you’re wearing... well, you know.
