Scariest moment on Star Trek?

By which I mean, what moments (if any) have you found to be scary

For me, it was in TNG, I don't recall the title of the ep, but they were all suffering sleep deprevation, and Crusher was in a makeshift morgue, surrounded by bodies wrapped in plastic. She turned away for a second, turned back, and all the bodies were sitting up... creepy.

The Salt Vampire in TOS: "The Man Trap", I was 8 when I first saw that episode, I didn't get much sleep that night.

When the Enterpise theme starts...

That gets my vote, since I actually remember it. And yes, creepy as Phelps/Falwell presidential candidacy run.

In fact, pick any moment which portrays either 1) spooky space ghosts or 2) creepy space zombies. Chances are that'll scare the crap out of me.

Personally it was the TNG episode where they all revert to animals. I have arachnaphobia in the worst way, i even freak out if i see a rubber spider, and seeing barcleys half human half spider face still haunts me.

Are you guys nuts? By far the scariest moment in all of Star Trek was seeing Janeway in her nightgown and hearing that Q wanted to have sex with her. I think my brain went into involuntary shutdown at that point, to avoid the horror.

I was spared that one.

I said scary, not out-right terrifying

This bit proved to me immediatly that the Q are not everything they suggest they are.

If you were all knowing and all powerful who would YOU be having sex with? It sure as hell would not be smokers voice Janeway.

That was during the Q civil war right? Obviously Q got hit on the head with a musket a few too many times...

Everyone missed the obvious answer: the scene from Nemesis where we see that Janeway's an admiral.

I have to admit, Barclays half spider face had me reaching for the toilet paper, but by far the creepiest episode was the great TOS episode with the acid secreting Horta, The Devil in the Dark. I remember being genuinely chilled when I saw that as a kid, and it's still one of my favourite episodes of ANY Trek franchise.

When I was around 5 I was 1/2 asleep and there was the TNG episode where the Nosigans stab Picard on. It was really scary, esp. Q. Then they showed the one with the 'Casino Royale' and the astronaut who had been dead for a few hundred years was REALLY scary to me at that point.
After I saw those two episdodes of ST I had nightmares about them for a long time. I also got that from the skeletons of Owen and Beru in ep4. When I was a little kid, skeletons were super no good.

I think most people blocked that scene from their memory.

Maybe Q was drunk....REALLYfreakin drunk.

That can be the only logical explanation for....(how does one describe this situation?)....THAT....

Post by **Kuja** » 2003-01-21 08:48pm

Good GOD, that one scared the piss out of me! I hid under the covers that night.

you just wait wong! wait 'till you finally get your copy of nemesis from the bargain bin at wal mart and see the 'come to momma' bit troi gives to Riker...shit that will scare your dick off

TNG Borg were pretty scary. Slow as B-movie zombies but damn near unstoppable. Really, really, not the kind of thing one would want to bump into in a dark alley, or anywhere else for that matter.

When I was five years old, the first sight of the planet killer coming head-on at the Enterprise and the death of Commodore Decker was pretty creepy to me. But the only thing on TV that really frightened me at that age was on The Twilight Zone, when a screaming Lloyd Bochner is being shut up in a Kanamit spaceship in the episode "To Serve Man".

I have to second the nomination for the Salt Vampire from TOS.

For TNG I also agree with "Schisms" being very scary. That's the one where crew members were being snatched while sleeping and taken into another dimension where they were experimented on. This meant that they got shit for sleep but could only subconsciously remember something happening. Eventually the aliens started doing some really nasty shit like replacing one guys blood with some sort of liquid polymer.

The part where Riker finds out that his arm had recently been severed and reattached was cool.

I also thought the episode with the alien parasites that were controlling Star Fleet officers was pretty cool. Suprsisingly gross for TNG since they showed a slow motion disintegration at the end.
