Worst fate to befall a character?

Indricotherium

Given the success of the crime thread...

I'll get the ball rolling:

My favourite, Commodore matt decker, driven insane by watching his entire crew killed by the planet killer when thought he had beamed them to safety.

The Borg hive mind, murdered in a fit of pique by a time bandit.

Another fave of mine, the Moriarty hologram, banished to a bodiless void for eternity.

Khaaaaaan, abandoned on an idyllic Eden like planet, only for it to become a wasteland and kill all his people driving him insane.

Gull Dukat, sent to actual hell?

Thomas Riker? Cmdr Tucker? Jadzia Dax?

Myrddin

The girl shot with the Varon-T disrupter by a country mile

Captain Chaos

The only time I saw a head explode on Star Trek

wasnt moriarty let loose into a virtual universe?
he'd have no way of knowing it wasn't the actual universe and what he wanted wasn't actually possible so it was the best possible solution

Yep, agreed. Plus he was never in the real universe to begin with...he existed in the holodeck. So basically he was removed from the computer, & placed into a larger environment. I don't see anything bad about this, they could have just deleted him.

It's like taking a fish out of a bowl & putting it into an aquarium

Between his first and second appearance, Moriarty was left in a void for what was to him eternity.

I felt sorry for Alexander, Worf didn't really care about him and he was lost between human and klingon worlds, then for some reason he wanted to be a warrior but lacked nearly all the qualities for being one, it falls into the "why be something you're not" category. So he had to train the hard way and was generally humiliated for a long time. He probably wanted to gain Worf's acceptance. It sort of works out for him in the respect that when he goes back in time to fix the shaky path he's on he reveals to Worf that he's an ambassador or something like that. Essentially his entire life is one of struggle, repeated failures and being a dissapointment to his father.

Yeah the girl who got shot with the Varron T had a horrible end to a purgatorial life as Fajo's slave.

Harry Kim had a misreable life being Janeway's whipping boy. He never advanced through the ranks and declined Seven's advances, his life was one of denied opportunities, incredible regrets and shattered confidence.

That old guy on the planet who had omnipotent powers in TNG, he was basically left to his own perpetual personal hell when Picard left him.

I think Moriarty got off lightly though, unless he realised at some point that his universe was a simulation.

Ah sorry I thought you meant his final fate, when they remove him from the computer & give him a dedicated simulation box thingy.

Yeah that inbetween episodes void....good one

Crew of the USS Lantree aging in days was bad.
DS9 episode Nor the Battle to the Strong had a fairly minced up Federation solider, I think I'm remembering that worse then it actually was.

Lol, good isn't it. It was her very final shoot if I remember correctly

Kurn

Apparently they filmed them out of sequence, so yes it would have been her final one. Apart from the 'daughter' and self from another time.

They have to be two of the most dreadful episodes ever.

Assume he means the one where she dies and her final episode. Could not possibly mean Yesterdays Enterprise?

I thought Indricotherium was referring to the episodes Skin of Evil & Symbiosis

They are pretty woeful for sure Early TNG is a tough watch these days

Have to admit, Jake Sisko's fate in The Visitor of searching for his lost Dad haunts me.

Lee Kelso getting strangled by cable thanks to Gary Mitchell was a pretty bad end for such a promising character in my opinion.

Endaaaagh

Death by transporter malfunction

Lazarus, who must spend eternity fighting himself to protect all of existence in TOS The Alternative Factor episode.

I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking, it was unusual that he would never be rewarded for his ulimate sacrifice, which normally happened in TV shows.

While not the worst fate imaginable, I'd say Thomas Riker being stuck on a planet on your own for 8 years is pretty rough.

The crew of the Pegasus had a nasty enough end as well, phasing back into solid rock.

That said I wonder if he preferred that solitude over Cardassian prison.
