"do not volunteer for an away mission unless you have 3 seasons and a movie under your belt"
that one got a massive chuckle from me.
And make sure you're not wearing a red shirt.
John Scalzi wrote a book on that
Oh!! ENGINEER OLSEN IS GONE SIR!!!
HILARIOUS
Be like Lt Ayala. Never volunteered for any away missions on his 7 years on Voyager and made it all the way home.
Ensign Sito learned that the hard way!
My uncle, next to me in the theater in 1996, the moment Lt. Hawk appeared: "That guys gonna die."
He later explained when you see a "new" character going on a dangerous mission, that's a guarantee they'll die. He's a big reason I love Trek.
I'm imagining that look on Admiral Cornwell's face was her remembering that she personally signed the requisition order reducing the manual control interfaces on Constitution class ships to half the requested number as a cost-cutting measure.
It was at that moment she knew she fucked up
If only she had commissioned all starship hulls to be manufactured out of that clear material that can withstand torpedo blasts from 10 feet away.
In The Pale Moonlight is my absolutely favorite DS9 episode, the acting, direction, script and story are exceptional😘😘😘
I actually had NO idea Vareneek was going to get killed.
@@w41duvernay As Garak pointed out, if Sisko wanted to do it "right" and risk failure, he would have stuck with Dax - Jadzia and Curzon.
Sisko only brought in Garak to make sure the job got done. Period. The second anything went sideways, bodies were going to drop.
@@w41duvernay Same here👍 Garek is a scoundrel, and damned good at being one😠😘 Don't you just love to hate him, I sure do😉
In the Pale Moonlight, Duet, The Siege of AR-558, In Purgatory's Shadow, The Visitor, Far Beyond The Stars, House of Quark... Too many to pick a favorite.
"... and all it cost was the lives of one senator, one criminal,... and the self-respect of one star fleet officer." Best line in the entire series!
didn't the senator's shuttle have like staff and guards on it? aren't they dead too?
@@insertcognomen you are right, of course. But for one, that was not the point, Garak aimed to make, and for two: Red shirts and red shirt kin don't really count, or do they?
@@insertcognomen Garak to Worf in another episode: "Don't tell me you'd object to a little genocide in the name of self-defence". Garak counts the other Romulans as collateral damage not worth losing any sleep over, and it was probably best not to remind Sisko about those deaths as well.
In the pale moonlight is my favorite episode ever
Awesome episode.
I remember the first time I watched this episode. I was confused the first 10 minutes due to the format.
Wait, you picked Senator Vreenak from "In The Pale Moonlight" and not Graython Tolar? We knew he was dead when Garek said "Now why don't you go back to your quarters. I'll be along shortly to say...hello.". Look at Tolar's reaction. Even HE knew he was a dead man.
He was marked for death from jump street 🤒
It's best not to dwell on such minutae.
You are so correct sir.
In the last year, or so, TrekCulture has become far and away the best channel for Trek news/stories. Keep it up guys. You're doing a bang up job.
Check out Rowan J Coleman. A notch above this channel IMO.
@@lukeholman3180 I follow his channel as well, and it's very good, especially as far as pure info goes. However, this channel is quite a bit more polished, and a bit more entertaining overall.
Agreed the minute q video comes out on trek culture I'm on it like a sonnet!
@@lukeholman3180 Rowan is great, been following him for years, but Trek Culture is far busier and informative, whereas Rowan is sporadic and is more historical.
@@shannonbayley3684 This has been my experience, as well. They both serve a function, and cover different subjects from different approaches. I'm glad to live in a world where both channels exist.
What’s really creepy about Wolf in the Fold is that Jack the Ripper speaks with Piglets voice.
That's why Piglet was a creepy character
Never trusted Piglet and I was only 5.
Or the obsequious mental patient from "The Bob Newhart Show" 'Mr Peterson'
@@macswanton9622 He also played a murderer on PERRY MASON
@@jeffgalus8454 And the infamous "Lawyer Daggett" 🤠
Gowron didn't make the list? Come on now, after Sisko told Worf something needs to be done it was obvious he was a goner.
Exactly
*good observation there*
i can see that one, and Unlike Picard , Sisko didn't care if Worf used Klingon methods to get Gowron to stop.
I do wish Gowron had a more memorable final line, but yeah good pick.
@@epickithri *it got things done with much less paperwork involved so to speak*
#1. Admiral Hanson that Led the fight against the Borg at Wolf 359. when he said "it's either going to be us or them" I began writing his obituary.
Top 10 Lwaxana Troi moments
In the original series, "The Doomsday Machine" tells the story partially using its music, in that certain characters get their own themes. When we find out that someone has stolen a shuttle craft and is flying it towards the Doomsday Machine, we hear Decker's theme before we see that it's him.
God I loved that episode. It was the first one I watched when they added the CGI to TOS
The look on Thor's face when the computer tells him the auto-pilot has been destroyed.
Too bad he wasn't my niece and nephew's Great Dane Thor!
Should’ve copied his consciousness onto a new body.
Oh wait, wrong Thor
Worf had so much right to do what he did to Duras under Klingon custom that even Duras's MEN let him through when he told them why he was there. And Duras knew he had no choice but to fight him, discommendation or no discommendation.
Maybe that means his men had more honor than Duras?
@@GabePuratekuta A rabid targ has more honor than Duras
Well yeah. What duras did was not an attack on honor. It was a personal attack against someone's family. That always trumps honor.
Garak always knew that the recording wouldn’t pass muster
He sure did he even says so
Also knew the guy creating the forged recording was not going to survive. I forget his name.
@@robertszekely8686 I call him "Alphonse D. Shivelbottom".
It should have been a given when Sisko gave him the ability to do it. I can even hear him telling Sisko, "You know who and what I am, and you know my feelings towards them. How could you not have known what I was going to do, and are you really surprised that I did?"
it's just impossible to resist a Vreenak impersonation, isn't it? ;)
I'm disappointed about Hawk. He had such a cool name. He could have been another mainline character for the franchise.
AGREED!! I was really hoping for a new ongoing character, and Hawk just seemed like he was a total bada$$
The Trek novel Section 31 Rogue gives his full name as Sean Hawk. He was also revealed to be gay, with Lt. Kenal Renu, Capt. Riker’s Security Chief on the Titan as his partner.
@@lamartherevenger He was the quintessential badass in 'Justified' as 'Quarles' 👁
Honestly whenever I watch First Contact I always think it was such a waste.
I too was disappointed we never got a recurring new character for the TNG movies...like savvik for the tos movies.
i was partial to that unnamed ensign at the beginning of insurrection. she seemed so excited to be there when she called captain on deck...and then so disappointed when he cancelled one of the meal courses. that was her night to shine as captain's assistant and he cut her short
10:56 Actually, for me, I realised the second that Captain Picard first said the words "Lieutenant Hawk" on the bridge. Didn't even have to see him. Stuck out like a sore thumb as the only prominent character we didn't know (in that scene/shot).
The second Garak was brought into this, I knew all obstacles would meet untimely ends.
That crewman talking with O'brien in that episode with the crashed Jem'Hadar ship was guaranteed to die the minute he started talking. Same with all the other characters who showed up for the first time in that episode
The moment Tuvix showed up on screen.
They may have got Tuvok and Neelix back, but that damn flower will forever be lost.
He didn't die. He became two people again. I had no problem with undoing Tuvix. I still don't.
8:30 I always thought it was interesting that Worf ended up killing BOTH Duras AND Gowron!
Me too
He was the true Arbiter, not Picard.
Chancellor Worf!!!
@@Cdr2002 more like Garbageman Worf...
@@Cdr2002
His Granddad was a lawyer y'know.
The thing about Vreenek's death in DS9 for me is that, I still wasn't expecting them to go that far in a Star Trek series at the time. Sure DS9 had been pretty dark and serious up to that point, but in my mind it was still a line they hadn't crossed yet. I still knew he was going to die, but I was still surprised they were doing this.
You forgot the moment that Spock leaves the bridge in Star Trek II.
Here's a moment: ST3...I told you to disable their engines! It was a lucky shot.
Yeah...he's dead.
Always felt there was scope for a sequel to Wolf in the fold. It's an outstanding episode
Agreed! It made perfect sense that Jack was some non-corporeal entity! A hitchhiker serial killer just perfect. Nothing says it couldn't eventually reassemble, or perhaps reassembled by some future scientists not knowing what it was!
I miss Admiral Cornwell. She was such a badass. I think ima head back to watch season 1 and 2 to see her once again xD
She’s a great character!
Lt.Hawk gets attacked by Borg, Worf let's Picard know he can get space sick.
Picard knows how to pick an away team for an emergency.
I knew Vreenak was toast the moment Garak mentioned his idea to Sisko; and Grathon Tolar ...psh
The actor who played Lt., Hawk later played Dum Dum Dugan in Captain America: The First Avenger
And Damien Darhk in the Arrowverse, so he’s done both Marvel and DC
I watched that Discovery episode the other day and was amazed at how well the window material in the door held up. Why don't they make their ships out of that?
The one that really shocked was Tasha's death. This was before everyone knew the Drama behind the scenes. I know it is not on the list.
Sean Ferrick when he took Adam Clery's sausage pasty from the WhatCulture fridge.
I've only just noticed that Lieutenant Hawk is played by the actor that plays Damien Darhk in the Arrowverse.
Joe Carey also appeared in two time travel episodes. He was in „Relativity“ and „Fury“, before he came back one last time for „Friendship One“.
I remember he was in "Relativity". I have to see "Fury" again.
I love TrekCulture.
Stop it. TrekCulture is already mine!
@@pantherpopel551 Never. TrekCulture belong to me.
@@itz_naelol I went back to 2024 and procured the rights so you both lose
I never watch that UA-cam channel
After TOS, redshirts basically became yellowshirts. No doubt because the two colors shifted positions. (From TNG on engineering became yellow, etc). Most deaths from that point were actually yellowshirts. Fun fact.
My favorite part of fight between Worf and Duras is at the very beginning when all the Klingons are basically acting like, "YOu're dishonered, you can't challenge anyone blah blah blah." WOrf just says "K'Ehleyr was my mate." ANd every Klingon in the room not named Duras immediately backs off, and gets a look on their face like, "Oh well, Duras, that's your ass, nothing we can do."
I really enjoyed how you brought in all the back story. Great part on Robert Block who also wrote for the original Outer Limits and many others. This top ten was exceptional - great job!
Shaun, your fun spirit really gets me excited about each new 📹
I just love star trek i always watch it again and again all the series
Sobor's demise still weighs on my heart. Poor old man :(
The man was literately stabbed in the back. Winn didn't deserve his faithfulness.
I'm not sure if Vreenak would have survived even if he did believe the holo.
EDIT: "wouldn't" not "would".
Not a chance. Even if he believed it was real how many more Romulans would have seen it. Garak doesn't leave things to chance.
Doubtful. Garak had it planned from the beginning.
@@robertszekely8686 Yes, he only tells Sisko it is fool proof because he doesn't want him to back out.
Lt Hawk was a new guy in the bridge crew. The second he appeared on screen, I knew he would not survive this movie.
"That's why you came to me; because you knew I could do those thing of which you were incapable of doing."
Love it! Y'all keep up the good work! Only thing I have to say about this video is ...
... At least there aren't any Dolphin Red fins 😉
My vote for the most pointless death was Lt Tasha Yar in STNG "Skin of Evil" So many ways they could have written her out of the series without killing her.
Denise Crosby did want out of her contract on short notice
Darnell from "The Man Trap" should be mentioned.......... He was the first casualty in the Star Trek universe...
Actually , the first in official casualty ( actually shown.) Was Lee Kelso on "Where no man has gone before".
He gets strangled by a power cord on Delta Vega, after Mitchell wills it.
@@johnbockelie3899 And neither were wearing red shirts.
Great one!
You could also count the TNG episode "Lower Decks", though the point at which we realise is subtle, it's obvious they're not gonna make it. Everyone starts to look just a little bit uncomfortable.
This was so awesome!
You forgot about Lt. Cmdr. Dexter Remmick. He got infected by the mama parasite and got his head explored.
How about Commodore Deckard in doomsday machine. Watched his entire crew die and literally half his ship. You knew the thing would get him.
The video calls out Duras, but come on as soon as K'Ehleyr showed up with a kid, that's death. Worf's kid? That's the double death. One more for Enterprise, in season 3 the episode Similitude Trip gets a clone, we're told from the start he's not going to live, but as soon as we get some T'Pol action, we know they're not coming up with a way to save him.
"And it was in that moment, they knew, they frakked up!" LOL
Very clever premise for a video. Well done all. 👍
Brad Dourif as Lon Suder... as soon as I saw him show up, having already seen him in X-files and Babylon 5.
“It is by will alone I set my mind in motion…”
I think that any redshirt (well, minus Scotty. Wait, he died too) who we can see in any TOS episode is a dead man. It is more suprise if they survive...
I LOVE your videos
This video would be perfect if you inserted everytime the "At this moment, he knew he f**d-up" 🤣🤣🤣
"Don't kill Worf's mate. Kill Alexander." Harsh. 😁
well, i mean really... wesley wasn't around to kill any more by then so yeah, no kids on the ship please. hell, when o'brien and keiko had a kid, that kid went through hell like the one time we really see her.
@@kstormgeistgem461 You aren't allowed to kill children on Star Trek. How do you think Wesley Crusher survived so long?
I didn't expect the senator to die the moment he said it was a fake, however, as you pointed out, looking back, there really was no other option from that point on...
Anytime they introduce a character you’ve never seen before but everyone on the show knows them like they’ve been a main character the whole series.
If I recall correctly, the commercials that came out before "Friendship One" aired even advertised the fact that a known character was going to die. When Carey returned for the first time in years, it was pretty obvious that they did so just to kill him. (Edited for typo.)
I always wondered if Garack ever actually contacted anyone on Cardassia in the first place, and had this planned that early on!
Okay, that line, "Don't Volunteer. Do Not Volunteer for an Away Mission until you have three seasons and a movie under your belt." That made me laugh so hard xD Brilliant.
I would include every single TOS red shirt death where they get vaporized, melted down or end up with their molecules floating in space. Like the dude who gets zapped by M5, the red shirts who get zapped by Nomad, the dude who gets zapped by the Gorn, the two who get beamed into space, etc. Also commodore Decker -- you knew he was doomed as soon as he started melting down about the Doomsday Machine.
Or the two abandoned on Gorgan's Planet...
Crewman Hogan on Voyager. The moment Neelix walks away, I started saying "He's gonna get eaten by that giant thing walking around." Didn't have enough time to finish that sentence
How about Commodore Decker
Too easy
Was thinking the same!
Saw Star Trek (2009) in the theater with my close family. When they were prepping the drop, I leaned over to my sister and said, "Keep your eye on the guy in red."
minor correction... Solbor was a Ranjen, which is one rank below a Vedek.
Am I the only one who thought Lorca with his "Make the Empire Glorious again!" fall shoulda been there?
Or, at least since it's Jason Isaacs? I mean, it's almost Sean Bean level casting there.
I do remember one movie where he didn’t play a bad guy. Sure, The Tuxedo was god-awful, but him portraying a Bond-like spy was pretty nice.
Even his current role as a doctor is ambiguous
Hawk actually made it pretty deep into the movie got some legit screen time and lines but still u had that feeling
Loving the Rocky Horror themed font 😅
In 'Reunion', I gotta say I hated the way Riker screamed "WAARF!" just as the batl'eth came down. -as if...
That part about killing Alexander but not Worf's mate made me laugh.
The moment any non-main character gets to say a line.
When I first watched Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, when they first introduce Bones and Kirk to the shapeshifter in the icy prison, I almost immediately said to myself "She's dead."
Honorable mention: Connolly, Spock's replacement in Star Trek: Discovery season 2 episode 1. Since Spock would return sooner or later, he was guaranteed to die the moment he stepped out of the transporter pad. And once he joined the away mission with Burnham, Pike, and Nhan, he was pretty much 200% dead.
in the pale moon light is probably the best star trek episode ever.
How about Haskell in *Where Silence Has Lease* ? Previously unseen crew member suddenly turns up in Wesley's chair - might as well have a big bullseye printed on his costume.
You forgot Lt. Evan Connolly, ST: Discovery S2.E1 - Brother. He was talking smack and died.
Mid-sentence too
About every redshirt that beams down with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy.
Are you counting Scottie and Uhura? No.
0:28 made my genuinely LOL XD
ST2:TWOK, Peter Preston, Mr. Scott's nephew. I had a feeling and unfortunately, and yup. 😔
The Organic Dr. on Voyager got his too.
You had to bring up the freaking unbreakable blast door!
Peter Preston. Once they identified him as Scotty's nephew, I ordered flowers.
Me, Yelling At The Screen: "WHY CAN YOU NOT BEAM ADMIRAL CORNWALL OUT???
"Radiation from the torpedo's internal whatever blah blah blah blocking the scanners."
To be fair to Lt. Hawk, the choice was disruptor or assimilation. He ended up getting assimilated and a phaser bolt.
you might note that "red shirt" in tos is "yellow shirt" in tng era so kerry was in the right shirt color.
1:45 my favorite klingon ;)
In The Pale Moonlight 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've always said you could tell the real Trekkies in the audience of the 2009 film, as opposed to the casual fans. They were the ones laughing when the redshirt died
13:48 They should have made the hull out of whatever that door is made of. At least they figured it out by the end of Voyager when they made armor completely out of doors.
"I'd like to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher - Professor Weyoun!"
I would like to see you do a video on the immortal Mr. Leslie.
If you know you know.
Deep Space 9, the episode where Chief O'Brian and Garak go to an abandoned Cardassian space station for parts. 4 crew members never seen before are chatting like Regulars, talking about collecting souvenirs and everything. Dead, dead, dead, and dead!
“Aforementioned redness...” LOL!!
