"Dead Stop" is the thirtieth episode (production #204) of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise, the fourth of the second season. It was directed by Star Trek: Voyager cast member Roxann Dawson.

After the Enterprise was damaged in the previous episode, "Minefield", the crew finds itself in need of assistance to effect repairs. They send a distress call, and the Tellarites send the coordinates of a station—a station capable of serving their every need at a cost which seems too good to be true.

The episode won an award from the Visual Effects Society, and was also nominated for an Emmy award.

Plot
Four days after getting caught in a Minefield, Captain Archer and Commander Tucker inspect the damage to the ship. As the damage would take months to repairs, and returning to Jupiter Station would take years, Archer decides that it is time for someone to help them out for once, and orders Ensign Sato to send a general distress call. A passing Tellarite freighter responds, and sends a barely understandable message including co-ordinates directing them to an automated repair facility, three days away at Warp 2.

Arriving at the facility, the ship is scanned and the station reconfigures itself to suit the crew's needs. Enterprise docks, and the station sets the full repair price at 200 liters of warp plasma. Using its advanced replication technology, the station can complete all repairs in just 34.2 hours. Archer, left without any other option, agrees, although he has a gut feeling that not everything is as it appears. Intrigued by the station's technology, Tucker convinces Reed to visit the station's computer, but their attempt to do so is detected, and they are beamed back to the Enterprises bridge.

Meanwhile, a false comm message, ostensibly from Archer, directs Ensign Mayweather to an area currently being repaired. His body is found soon after, an apparent victim of an electrical shock. When Doctor Phlox discovers that the dead Mayweather is a well-replicated duplicate, Archer resolves to search the station for him. Tucker then 'distracts' the computer, and Reed again trips the alarm, giving Sub-Commander T'Pol and Archer time to enter a computer room filled with bodies — among which are a Klingon, a Vulcan, and a Cardassian — apparently the station's method of augmenting its own processing power. Mayweather is rescued just as the station starts attacking Enterprise in retaliation. Archer then detonates the warp-plasma payment to blow up the station and escape. As the ship warps away the few active components of the station begin repairing the damage.

Production
The episode's director, actress-director Roxann Dawson, also provided the voice for the space repair station's main computer, but was not credited for this. An actress was hired to play the computer voice but Rick Berman thought it had been done by Dawson and asked her to do it again for the final cut of the episode. Dawson was concerned that her voice might be too easily recognizable and a distraction but Berman convinced her to do it.

The idea for the episode came together while developing the previous episode "Minefield". Brannon Braga and John Shiban thought it was important to acknowledge that the ship had been badly damaged and did not want the ship to be all back to normal before the next episode. They also wanted to do it so that both episodes could be watched as standalone shows, in what they called "continuity without being serialised."
The episode itself was written by Michael Sussman and Phyllis Strong.
Dawson thought the concept of the episode was great, and "was very pleased with the way it came out".
Dawson said the station interior design had a clean sterile look, reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Filming took longer than usual, over a week and half, as production resources and actors were needed to do film additional scenes for the previous four episodes. Visual effects producer Dan Curry was filming exterior exterior ship shots for "Minefield" with Dominic Keating. Other directors were filming pick-up shots for "Carbon Creek," "Shockwave, Part II" and "A Night in Sickbay."

The same type of station appears again in the novel Rise of the Federation: Uncertain Logic and it is revealed they belong to a race known as "The Ware".

Reception

"Dead Stop" was first broadcast October 9, 2002, on UPN.
It had a Nielsen ratings share of 3.5/6. It had a total average audience of   	5.4 million viewers.

In 2005, The Digital Fix praised this episode answering the question of how a spacecraft could be repaired in space, and also for tying in with the previous episode, "Minefield", when the spacecraft was damaged. They commended the episode for what they thought was a decent science fiction concept, a sinister repair station. Writing for StarTrek.com Jordan Hoffman said the episode was innovative but criticized the villain: "it's hard not to think about the killer repair station as anything other than a haunted conveyor car wash."

In 2017 H&I noted this as an episode of Star Trek featuring scary or eerie content, and said "you don't need a shadowy, dim spaceship to elicit chills. Sometimes, bright, white and antiseptic can be equally unsettling". In 2018, TheGamer ranked this one of the top 25 creepiest episodes of all Star Trek series.

In 2017, Den of Geek included "Dead Stop" on their list of Star Trek'''s 50 Best Episodes, and wrote: "the automated station manages to be more sinister and alien than any guest star, with its clean and bright interiors."
In 2020, Den of Geek ranked this episode as the 26th most scary episode of all Star Trek franchise television episodes.

Awards
 "Dead Stop" was nominated for an Emmy Award in the category "Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Series".
 The episode won an award from the Visual Effects Society in the category Best Models and Miniatures in a Televised Program, Music Video, or Commercial. Modelmakers John Teska, Koji Kuramura, Pierre Drolet and Sean Scott were honored for their CGI work on the automated repair station shown in the episode.

 Home media release
"Dead Stop" was first released for home media use on DVD as part of the second series box set of Star Trek: Enterprise''. Season Two was released on Blu-ray Disc August 20, 2013.

John Shiban Talks About His First Year On Enterprise
Source Sci Fi Pulse
19 June 2003
By Ian M. Cullen
John Shiban could not have been more excited than he was last year after having first got his shot at writing for a Star Trek show. James Swallow recently caught up with Shiban to find out how the writer and Co Executive Producer felt his first year went.
Shiban's first writing credit for Enterprise came as early as the third episode of the second season, and courted its fair share of controversy among the fan movement. Ironically 'Minefield' turned out to be one of the stronger stand alone episodes of the Second season, and Shiban says that some of his inspiration for the episode came from the classic World War II series Danger UXB.
"I had seen 'Shuttlepod One' with Trip and Reed, and I saw the dynamic between them was very interesting. When I originally pitched the notion of entering a Minefield, we debated who would be the best person to become trapped [by the mine]. Rick and Brannon immediately said, 'We don't know that much about Reed, he's kind of a mystery.' We thought it would be cool if we could pin him down, both literally and figuratively!"
As fans know Reed is impaled through the leg and firmly attached to the Enterprise's hull plating for a majority of the episode, and it is up to Archer and Reed to work together to save the ship and crew. What excited Shiban the most was exploring Reeds character throughout the ordeal.
"It's always great, especially as a writer new to a show, to have the opportunity to delve into who these people are and how they got to be who they are. I looked back at what had been done with the characters up until now, and the whole idea of 'What kind of Captain is Archer?' became central very quickly once we paired these two guys together."
Shiban's first episode of Enterprise was quite literally a baptism of fire for the writer. When word leaked that a Romulan Warbird would make an appearance in the episode, fans went crazy across the entire Star Trek community, and the age old arguments about Star Trek's continuity yet again became a big issue amongst many hardcore fans of the franchise.
"The way we break stories here is that a writer will pitch an idea to Rick or Brannon, flesh it out and then at some point you sit in a room together and 'beat' it out - put this scene here, and that scene there. It's a really good way to get notes on your story while you're plotting it. My original idea was to have unknown aliens (as the antagonist) and I believe it was Brannon who turned to me and said, 'This could be the Romulans ' There was silence in the room! But I was instantly excited and intrigued by that.
"Of course, we had to work out the timeline and had to be very careful about how much our characters see - but it was a perfect fit, because to me, the story would fall apart if the aliens were helpful or communicative. If they were someone that Archer could try to deal with, then you have a whole other avenue, and to me the story has got to be that their last hope is their best hope, that their only way out of it is to send someone out there to defuse the mine."
Some fans may have noticed a small arc lead out of 'Minefield' into 'Dead Stop' Shiban actually came up with the idea of bringing 'Minefield' and Dead Stop' together in a mini story arc, but still produce both episodes in such a way that they could both be watched as stand alone shows.
"After Minefield, the usual thing to do would be that the ship is all repaired and everything is back to normal next week, but Brannon and I really felt like this had to be important, that the ship had been damaged.
"We came up with the notion for Dead Stop, which you could still watch in isolation without having seen Minefield, but it starts with Enterprise being hugely damaged. It's a story about getting the ship fixed at an alien repair station, and it's continuity without being serialised."
Shiban who wrote used to writer an co produce 'The X Files' compared Reeds speech intonation with that of Agents Mulder and Scully from 'The X Files'.
"Reed is a little more reserved and doesn't always tell you what he's thinking. I felt very comfortable writing for him, but one of the more difficult things for me, which I had to learn very quickly, was writing T'Pol's voice. The tendency is to write this very formal Vulcan grammar, and the note I got from Rick and Brannon on my first draft was that Jolene Blalock will play it in the Vulcan voice, so write it for the actor."
Writing for Star Trek to John Shiban is like coming full circle in his career. Shiban had always been a fan in his college days of Sci Fi and enjoyed reading books and literature by the likes of Bradbury and Harlan Ellison. So in a way Shiban had kind of ended up with a job that he had always been aspiring to.
"In a roundabout way, I kind of ended up where I started from," he concludes. "It all came back to me on my first day of work here, when we were talking about a story and we were debating some piece of Star Trek lore, and I realised that way back when, this was what I was doing with my friend, arguing about this episode or that episode, Kirk doing this or that!"

issue of Star Trek: Monthly which is out now at all good newsagents.

Hey,
Just wrapped another episode of Enterprise. Dead Stop will air on October 9th. It was a blast to work on! Our gang makes a deal with an automated repair station, which we discover has a mind of its own. The concept was great. After the episode airs please ask questions you may have by posting them on the message board. I will go through them and answer as many as I can in a posted response the following week. Remember that Enterprise’s second season premieres this Wednesday. I hope you will all be watching!
Several people at various cons who have stories about their personal experiences with Chinese adoption have approached me. This subject, as many of you know, is a passion of mine. Please post your stories to the message board so that we may share them with our friends here. I have been very touched by the responses I have received when discussing the situation there and the charity Half The Sky Foundation. Your stories should be shared.
Thanks!
Roxann

Greetings!
Well the world has changed since last I wrote. I awoke early the morning of September 11th to have some time to myself. I wanted to write in my journal, evaluate the last year of my life and prepare to enter the next year. I had no idea that as I contemplated my birthday... the world was about to change. Pen in hand, the TV on mute I glanced up to see the first smoking tower of the World Trade Center. The rest of this unfathomable event unfolded before me as my husband and children still slept.
The events of September 11th have been spoken of constantly since that day in words sometimes eloquent, sometimes restrained. More often it was the pauses between the words that spoke volumes. There have been stories both devastating and inspiring, stories which brought me to my knees and at the same time elevated my spirit. Hopefully we have each taken time to reevaluate our lives in light of recent events. If any good can come out of such horror, perhaps we have all come together a bit. Put aside petty differences in an attempt to find our common denominator, our humanity.
I was in England when the war on terrorism began. As the bombs began to drop we huddled around television sets bonded as allies. Thanks to all of you who attended Supernova. Your compassion was deeply felt and appreciated.
Warm regards,
Roxann Dawson

Many people ask me for information on Chinese Adoption. Families With Children From
China offers support to those who have adopted and information on taking the steps to adopt from China.
Lost Daughters Of China by Karin Evans, I cannot recommend this book more highly. This book reads like
a novel chalk full of personal, emotional experience. It also supplies the most well balanced view of a complicated
situation. If you are even thinking about adopting or are curious this is the place to begin. You won't be able
to put this book down. You can purchase this book from Amazon.com.
Daniel Graham, my co-author of the Tenebrea trilogy has a wonderful novel available on Amazon.com called
The Gatekeepers.

In 2005 , The Digital Fix praised this episode answering the question of how a spacecraft could be repaired in space , and also for tying in with the previous episode , " Minefield " , when the spacecraft was damaged .

Captain Archer and co boldly go once again in the year which saw tensions with the Klingon Empire increasing, the Earth attacked by a malevolent new enemy, and the Borg making a surprise reappearance. James takes a look at a season that promised much but ultimately delivered very little.
Apologies in advance, but I’m not going to be putting much effort into this review. Even though there have been thousands written before about the many incarnations of Star Trek, I’m sure if I thought hard enough about it I could find a new angle, something different to say about the franchise, something that hasn’t been observed before, but I don’t think I’ll bother. It’ll be far easier just to recycle old sentiments that have been said time and again, sentiments such as “the franchise needs a rest,” “it’s lacking creative energy,” “T’Pol’s there for the lads” etc, etc. It won’t win any awards or plaudits, but at least it’ll get me through its writing without breaking a sweat and I can go off and do something more interesting afterwards for a while, before having to come back and do the same again for Season Three. A lazily drifting review is what I’m aiming for here – hopefully well written, nice to look at, with the odd amusing joke or vague hint of something that could have been done better, but overall nothing that’s going to be worth remembering or bothering with. After all, if those in charge of Enterprise’s sophomore year couldn’t be bothered doing anything new, why should I?
Enterprise had had a reasonably promising first year. While it still had some of the hallmarks of later seasons of Voyager (storytelling that sometimes fell a bit flat, an excess of action at the expense of intellect, a cat-suited woman wandering round) there was enough in it to suggest that once it found its feet it would be able to stand up on its own and head off in new, far more interesting, directions. It had a pretty strong cast, an attractive look about it, and, most importantly, an intriguing premise that, if handled properly, could be rewarding both for casual viewers and dyed-in-the-wool Trekkers. All the creators had to do was make sure that Season Two went somewhere, that it didn’t spend its time telling twenty-six self-contained stories with little regard for the big picture that was at the heart of the show’s premise. As long as it remembered to lay in subtle building blocks about such important issues as the future of the Federation, the war with the Klingons and the gradual reconciliation between the Vulcans and Earth, as well as developing its characters into more three-dimensional beings, all would be fine.
A shame, then, that they didn’t. Seeming to forget why they thought a prequel was a good idea in the first place, instead we got a second year’s worth of episodes that in development terms were a carbon copy of the first year’s. Instead of big moments, these instalments are largely self-contained, with seemingly little interest in anything other than telling generic, occasionally appallingly hackneyed stories that have already been told countless times before, both within and outside the Star Trek franchise. Worse still, it would appear that at times the reason for this is that they have absolutely no judgement on what does and doesn’t make a good story, leading to expensive-looking episodes such as Carbon Creek and Marauders that look nice but are utterly dull and pointless. Had Berman and Braga’s creative energies (not, as some wits would have it, necessarily an oxymoron) been so depleted that they actually thought these stories would do? Many would say that it was a simple case that they didn’t care any more, that Trek to them was just a cash cow that, to mix a metaphor, needed to bled until it was bone dry but I do not believe that – no writer, no matter how jaundiced, wants to produce substandard work. Instead, this season is the starkest sign yet that the franchise desperately needed an infusion of fresh blood to survive – as it is, it’s not only a very sick patient, but one which has given up the struggle for survival.
Things start off the way they mean to go on with the resolution of the Season One cliffhanger Shockwave, resolved not through clever plotting but tech, the witless get-out-of-jail-free card Braga in particular has become infamous for. Following this we have the afore-mentioned Carbon Creek but then things picked up somewhat with an episode Minefield. While this isn’t a standout episode it does a reasonably good job of cranking up the tension, gives Malcolm Reed (Dominic Keating) some decent scenes with the Captain, and, most promisingly of all, isn’t neatly resolved at the end. One of the most common criticisms of Voyager was to wonder aloud how it was that a ship that suffers so much damage can repair itself miraculously when nowhere near a Starbase, and the episode following Minefield, Dead Stop, seems designed to answer that point. Encouragingly the one episode follows on immediately from the other, suggesting that we aren’t going to get the usual staccato style of Trek episodes in which a typical hour has little to do with those on either side of it, but sadly this turns out to be the exception rather than the rule, and the season quickly conforms to type. Characters do throw in more references to past episodes than ever before but it comes across as more a gratuitous effort to do so rather than a naturalistic piece of dialogue. (It also goes wrong on occasion – in one late episode Archer asks if an area of the ship called the Catwalk has extensive shielding, a bit silly of him considering an earlier episode, unsurprisingly called The Catwalk, was built around the very fact that it did). Sadly there is no sense of a bigger picture here, no impression we’re being led towards anything. Many episodes that feel like they might be going somewhere in the following episode instead end extremely abruptly (the pacing on some during the middle part of the season in particular feels off, endings so rushed everything is literally resolved in a minute or so), a problem so prevalent that when one ending is finally followed up – Archer’s escape from Rura Penthe in Judgment is raised again in Bounty – it is surprising rather than expected. We get nothing about Starfleet’s development or the larger picture in regards to how the Enterprise’s voyages are being perceived and there’s even precious little about the Temporal Cold War – following the season opener, only one episode before the finale even mentions it, Future Tense, and even in that it is reduced largely to the status of a mcguffin (although kudos does go to that episode for including what can only be described as a TARDIS). It’s as though the powers that be had realised that it was a bit of a mistake and wasn’t that interesting anyway. The Andorian situation is only touched on in one episode, and that in a peripheral sort of way, so that the only good work done towards future arcs is with the Klingons, with whom Archer and co have a few run-ins which would seem to be naturally leading towards the animosity we know must come between Kronos and Earth. That aside, long-term arcs are a dead loss.
So, if there’s little bigger picture to deal with, the success of the season must fall squarely on the shoulders of the individual episodes and how they are. Now TNG’s entire run was based on this principle (as, indeed, was TOS’) but whereas they were both breaking new ground, here there’s little remarkable or even very memorable. There are a few half-decent sci-fi ideas thrown in – the repair station in Dead Stop is nicely sinister for example – but in general the episodes fall into one of two categories: either rewrites of earlier Trek episodes, or tales so bland and inconsequential that nothing in them seems to matter very much. Although it would be tedious to list the number of episodes almost identical in theme to earlier stories, here’s just a random sample of them to underline just how many episodes this includes, and how bereft of new ideas this season is: there’s Carbon Creek (VOY’s 11:59), Singularity (the crew go mad and turn on each other), Vanishing Point (Hoshi becomes invisible to the others), Judgment (a variation on Star Trek 6), The Breach (VOY’s Nothing Human), and Bounty (T’Pol gets the pon farr), and that’s just off the top of my head. There are numerous others that have familiar elements within them, and it’s a rare episode indeed that goes by without at least a glimmer of recognition of something that has gone before. There’s also a repetition of motifs – I lost count of the number of times Archer got captured and imprisoned somewhere – and a general unwillingness to try anything even remotely new or adventurous. Those episodes that aren’t instantly familiar fall into the other trap of giving us secondary characters with dilemmas too generic for us to have any feeling for what they’re going through or investment in the outcome – episodes like Marauders (a group of people terrorised by Klingons), Canamar (a group of prisoners trying to escape a detention camp), and Bounty (a bounty hunter with latent morals).
But then, perhaps this is being a little unfair. After all, when the series began it was announced that it would be eschewing the more plot-driven tendencies of recent Treks and concentrating instead on the seven main crewmembers. Unfortunately, here again there are mixed results. Archer has a number of tricky decisions to make which gives him some backbone – his reaction to Trip’s misdemeanour in Cogenitor is especially interesting – and while he doesn’t have any standout episodes, it’s certainly fair to say he, and Bakula, have a good year – it’s particularly heartwarming to see the Captain making an effort to bond with his crewmembers by inviting them to breakfast, even when in some cases, such as Reed, it proves hard work. The main arc of the season concerns Archer and T’Pol’s increasingly close bond and her gradual transfer of loyalties from the Vulcan High Command to the crew of the Enterprise, but even that is botched by the absurd suggestion early on that the two are attracted to each other. Quite aside from the fact that Trek Captains and First Officers never have that sort of thing going on (whatever those people who write about Kirk and Spock will tell you) it is an insult to both Archer and T’Pol’s character to even think about it, trivialising what does eventually, in spite of this early setback, become a close relationship between the two. (Early episode A Night in Sickbay has attracted a fair amount of fan criticism, and while I haven’t read any details on why I can only imagine the scenes set in Archer’s imagination are to blame, as I found it otherwise a fairly jolly if innocuous tale.) Much better episodes later dealing with them include The Seventh, in which she asks for his help for the first time, and Stigma which, despite its blunt AIDS-allegory (which is about ten years out of date) shows T’Pol moving closer towards the crew and away from the council in a naturalistic fashion. In general T’Pol has the best material of the season to work with, helped by Jolene Blalock’s gradual loosening up of the character.
The third part of the central triumvirate, Connor Trinneer’s Trip, has the dubious honour of being in the worst episode of the season, Precious Cargo, (an almost unbelievably clichéd hour of television) but also one of the best, Cogenitor. This is yet another story which we’ve seen before, this time aping TNG’s The Outcast, but Trip’s dilemma is none the less real for that, and Trinneer handles it adequately, even if his best moments don’t come during the problem itself but its aftermath with his subdued reaction to Archer’s telling-off. The character benefits from the fact he is Archer’s right-hand-man and so gets to go on lots of adventures with him, giving him plenty of action during the season, but as far as developing his character goes, it’s a dead loss – again, aside from the details about how Archer and he first met, there’s precious little new we know about him now than we did at the beginning of the season
Still, he doesn’t fair as badly as poor old Hoshi and Travis who are given exactly one episode each. This is the season in which it becomes clear the writers consider the character of Travis Mayweather a dead loss, another Harry Kim piece of easy-going cardboard about whom you would insult one-dimensional life forms if you compared them to him. Aside from being temporarily killed in Dead Stop, he is completely forgotten about until way near the end of the season in a story entitled Horizon. For his fans it’s not worth the wait, either, as this is just a variation on Season One’s Favourite Son, with not even the fact his family are introduced proving much of a draw (on a side note, I don’t think any other Trek series has shown quite so many of the crew’s family members this early – we’ve already seen members of Archer’s, Reed’s, Hoshi’s, Travis’ and Phlox’s). The rest of the time poor Anthony Montgomery is left to just look concerned on the Bridge and, occasionally, fill in some lines of dialogue in the Mess Hall. Faring only slightly better is Linda Park’s Hoshi, who also only gets one episode, the aforementioned Vanishing Point, which at least is mildly entertaining (as well as unintentionally ironic in that it’s a story about the character slowly vanishing from the notice of her fellow crewmembers). Fortunately her role as translator still means she gets plenty to do the rest of the season, but as a person she doesn’t grow at all – we learnt more about her in the one episode Two Days and Two Nights last season than we do over the course of twenty-six here. Reed, too, hasn’t much luck – his early moment of glory in Minefield being to mess up defusing a mine with the result his leg is skewered and pinned to the surface of the hull, leaving it up to Archer to come and rescue him. He does get to develop the prototype Red Alert, though, which is something, even if at this stage it’s called Tactical Alert (on a side issue, surely this is the writers making the characters deliberately obtuse for the sake of stringing it along: Red Alert must be more logical?)
Aside from T’Pol, then, the only character who really develops is Doctor Phlox. In my review of the first season I said that his was the most undefined of characters, and while this year we don’t learn anything radically new about him as a person, his personality certainly manages to sink into the consciousness much more. He’s not as interesting a medic as Bashir, say, or the EMH (or McCoy, but that should be taken as read) but he runs rings around boring old Crusher. Billingsley’s consistently charming performance manages to do what Ethan Phillips never could and stay the right side of irritating – in other hands, a character that breaks into an overly-lengthy grin Joker-style would have been inviting a swift right-hook, but fortunately Phlox never does. More importantly, he convinces utterly as a doctor, something both Bashir and the EMH never did – while they said their lines convincingly and made the right noises, Billingsley manages to inhabit the role of the profession almost entirely, Phlox swinging from a reassuring bedside manner to one of sombre gravitas in just the right way. This is a man who both cares and has empathy for his patients, whether it be a man from a race hated by Phlox’s people or the Captain’s pet beagle. As someone whose family is full of doctors, I’ve never seen in Trek before someone who I could actually believe had spent his life working to make people better, both physically and emotionally, but I can here. Personally, we learn there is great sadness in Phlox’s life with an estranged son, an idea that is subtly introduced and sparingly used, and we begin to realise that there is much more to this man than the bright-eyed man who cried “Optimism Captain!” in the pilot. He even gets an episode in which he gets to really yell at someone in The Breach, a chance Billingsley takes full advantage of and for all this, and for the fact that he makes more of an impression than any of the other regulars this year (even those with more to do like T’Pol) he’s my pick for best character of the year.
But, even if the stories are lacklustre in the extreme, and the character work very choppy, the visuals are anything but. I can’t remember seeing a Trek series outside the films looking more lovely. The use of CGI in the series especially has come on by leaps and bounds in the last couple of years and is now more confident than ever. From Dr Phlox’s space bat in A Night in Sickbay through to alien vistas in which we see a shuttlepod land and then (the key difference) the crew get out, it all helps to make the show a more completely immersive experience and take away a little from the occasionally still-too-obviously studio-bound alien planets. Even that regular feature of Trek series, the caves, get an overhaul as in The Breach they acquire an extra dimension, Travis, Reed and Mayweather having to abseil down a long shaft – it sounds silly, but all these things help (although Rura Penthe looks rubbish). Even if the odd bit of computer trickery isn’t entirely successful – the Xindi attack in the teaser of The Expanse doesn’t have the impact it should (it’s certainly a step down from disaster blockbusters) and the little people populating the Interspecies Medical Conference aren’t that convincing, overall the use is successful. (I found the alien ship in The Crossing particularly striking). Also watch out for a couple of new sets – the aforementioned Catwalk which looks very nice, and the gym, which is a little sparse but has one of those fun spinning round thingies in it and is used well in the episodes.
Indeed, in general, the production values of Enterprise are second to none. It’s a well put-together, finely crafted show. It has a good range of actors, a good crew behind the scenes, and does everything extremely competently. There’s only one area which lets the side down, and unfortunately it’s the most important: the scripts. Although there are few points where the episodes are technically weak (aside from the few that end too quickly, all are structured well) they commit a far greater crime in telling real dull stories. Even Voyager, about which I have few good things to say, managed to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat occasionally and bring in something new and interesting to provide some variety in what it did (thinking more along the lines of Bride of Chaotica rather than Dark Frontier) but at no point during this season does Enterprise do likewise, giving us instead a completely flat, monotone season with not one truly memorable or outstanding episode. Instead, stories blend into each other in the memory, leaving only vague impressions – Archer gets imprisoned a lot, Phlox gets to do plenty of medicine, Hoshi struggles to translate – behind. The lack of inspiration is heavily underlined by the introduction of the Borg in late episode Regenerations – I would have no problem with having the Borg in an episode if it was done in a clever way (I rather thought the Ferengi episode in the first season wasn’t bad) but which here isn’t, instead leaving us with an episode with no purpose other than to cash in on that enemy’s popularity. Lazy writing, indeed, and endemic for the season as a whole, which brings back so many Trek motifs and storylines of the past that I find it hard to think of one genuinely new idea it has throughout its nearly twenty hours of screentime. A tired season of television.
The Disk
The disks are presented in a near-identical way to the first season. The episodes come on seven dual-layered single-sided disks, held by a blue plastic container which has each disk on its own “page.” This is held in a clear plastic sleeve together with a twelve page booklet which has episode synopses and details of any special features they have, as well as a general “Story-so-far” and some guff about the Borg. The clear plastic sleeve is held in a sturdy two-piece plastic container that fits together and has the Enterprise logo embossed on it. All the packaging once again insists the series is called Star Trek: Enterprise which, of course, it isn’t at this point, but other than that it’s a very attractive, well put together set.
The opening CGI-animation leading to the menus on the disks this time has four Klingon Birds-of-Prey in orbit around a planet. The menus themselves are identical to Season One’s, designed to look and sound like one of the computer displays on the ship. Each disk’s episodes are listed on the main menu, and each has its own submenu from which you can access any special features pertaining to that episode, such as commentaries or deleted scenes, as well as chapter hopping and fixing your audio and subtitle requirements. All episodes and extras are subtitled with the exception of the audio commentaries and the Borg Invasion Trailer.
Video
A little soft again in places but other than that fine. The transfers handle the series’ sudden shifts from light exteriors to dour interiors and back again well, and there is no sign of any digital artefacting or general encoding problems. Very good.
Audio
Play back an early season of TNG on DVD and then compare its audio to one from these Enterprise sets and you’ll see how far the aural Trek experience has come in fifteen years. Adding greatly to the atmosphere, the audio on these episodes is excellent, and even if it’s not completely immersive it certainly kicks in when it counts with the many battles. Even the caves sound pretty good.
Extras
Audio Commentaries
Co-writers Michael Sussman and Phyllis Strong commentate on two of their episodes. While their track for Dead Stop is quiet and a bit dull, they liven up when called upon to defend Regeneration. Fully aware of the criticisms heaped on the episode, Sussman in particular tackles the various controversial aspects of the episode and, even though some of his explanations are not wholly convincing, it’s nice to hear the writers were aware of the reaction from the fan community.
There’s also an extra commentary available for the episode Judgment featuring its scripter David A Goodman. Coming in the form of a podcast its available at the official Star Trek site and is worth a listen.
Text Commentaries
Two episodes, Stigma and First Flight get the Okuda treatment from husband-and-wife team Mike and Denise, their trivia tracks consisting of the usual mix of behind-the-scenes titbits and information about the fictional Trek universe.
Deleted Scenes
Missing scenes from five episodes are included, namely Minefield, A Night in Sickbay, Dawn, Cease Fire and The Expanse. As with the first season’s selection, they are presented by showing the transmitted scenes around them in black and white, and the missing portions in colour, which works very well.
Enterprise Moments: Season Two
Average nineteen minute look back over the season, in which cast and crew discuss their favourite episodes. Notable only for Bakula saying he told Berman and Braga halfway through the season they needed to start paying off some of the building storylines.
Enterprise Profile: Jolene Blalock
Is it just me or is the fact Blalock’s name appears in the opening credits over footage of a rocket taking off suggestive? Or have I just been watching too many Leslie Nielsen films? Either way, this is a fourteen minute featurette as much about T’Pol as the actress who plays her. There’s the usual gush about how great everyone is to work with, but a large part of this is made up of the actress’ own thoughts about being on the show at the end of the second season (a shame we don’t hear from her more irate side). If you’re a fan, fine but otherwise this is standard stuff.
LeVar Burton: Star Trek Director
Burton talks from the set of First Flight about the episode and his direction of it. An okay six-minute interview but it’s a shame he wasn’t also asked about the other Enterprise episodes he’s helmed (although maybe not for his feelings about the franchise in general, given his more recent comments).
Enterprise Secrets
David G Trotti, a 2nd Assistant Director, talks about the recreation of the Rura Penthe set from Star Trek 6 for the episode Judgment in this four minute featurette. Unlike the first Season’s instalment, this dose of Enterprise Secrets is much more serious, and as such not as much fun. Okay.
Inside A Night In Sickbay
Although it’s not highly regarded among fans, A Night In Sickbay is the episode that gets its own featurette this season. An eleven minute look back with principal actors Bakula and Billingsley remembering how much fun it was to make, visual effects Ron B Moore talks about the making of the CGI-bat, and Rick Berman utters some bland platitudes. I didn’t mind the episode at all (besides the silly Archer-T’Pol element) but surely there were other episodes – Carbon Creek, or Marauders – that would have made a more interesting focus in regards to production matters.
Outtakes
Eleven minutes of goofs, gags and giggles. If you enjoy outtakes you’ll enjoy these but it always strikes me that these are the sorts of things it’s much more fun to be involved with than to watch.
Photo Gallery
Fifty photos from the season, mainly behind-the-scenes shots and stills from the episodes themselves. Curiously the crew shots that are usually taken at the beginning of every season is not included – was one taken this year? The photos this time around are shown in a display matching the rest of the menu, meaning they are not full-screen. There’s really no benefit to this, and the one advantage this could have had – the chance to include captions – is not taken, a shame as it’s not clear in a couple of photos who the people are or what’s going on.
NX-01 Files 4-6
Bakula talks about people who have visited the set, Linda Park about her character and the show in general and Anthony Montgomery tells how excited he got the day Whoopi Goldberg came to the set, as well as reflecting on how odd it is now to be famous. All three are nice, if disposable, contributions in these short featurettes.
Borg Invasion Trailer
Hooray for the obligatory appearance of this trailer for the attraction at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas. That poor woman still looks doomed to me.
Overall
The episode Carbon Creek sums up this season perfectly: nice to look at, well made and acted, an immaculately pristine forty-five minutes of television that is nevertheless a complete waste of time, having no purpose or point other than to fill in a slot on the schedule. Even those with high boredom thresholds such as myself will find this a frustrating, deeply unsatisfactory season, one that really showed how much trouble the franchise was in. The extras, too, are mediocre with no real flashes of insight, adding up to a dull addition to the Star Trek library.

Welcome to "One Trek Mind," your new look at the lighter side of being a Star Trek enthusiast. What you'll find in this weekly (mostly) column are ruminations and lists on topics both esoteric and mainstream. With luck, they will confirm your most closely held beliefs and enrage you with their wrongheadedness – hopefully at the same time. I invite you to both cheer and chastise me in the comments below; just don't be shocked if I throw my two cents back. We want this to be a fun space where fans can hang out, pop open a bottle of Romulan Ale and maybe roast a few sacred cows. Welcome to the barbeque!
When Captain Kirk declared “risk is our business” in the season-two TOS episode “Return to Tomorrow” yes, he was discussing the nobler aspects of human potential. But he was also talking about big, nasty, oftentimes hairy space creatures that could turn your internal organs into chunky tomato soup with a glance. The strange, new worlds of Star Trek have some of the best villains in science fiction, but with all that infinite diversity in infinite combinations come a few that no amount of disbelief suspension can make scary. Here, then, are the 10 Least Threatening Star Trek Villains.
10 – The Pakleds
Written, no doubt, as a gift to all the Trek fans who slog through underappreciated IT jobs, the Pakleds represent the worst in so many of us. We don't want to think, we don't want to work, we just want to “make it go.” The slow, portly Pakleds (which were called the DUHHHHHS in the original teleplay) may've kidnapped Geordi when Captain Picard was away from the ship, but you'd have to put someone pretty far down the chain of command in charge before there'd be true danger.
9 – The Eymorgs
The first generation of Trek fans spent an off-season writing letters to save their show and then... this. While the real villain in TOS' third-season opener, “Spock's Brain,” is the brute terror of rancid storytelling, there are also the Eymorgs. These are the proto-FemBots of Sigma Draconis 6 who lived in a mental stupor save for the occasional hit off the mind-expanding hair dryer known as the Great Teacher. The Eymorgs could give you a solid zap if you were wearing one of their pain belts, but their fundamental ditzy-ness made it clear they were no threat. Still, one can't help but be impressed that a species with such atrophied minds could create such elaborate thigh-high boots.
8 – The Wadi
You'd think that a mullet, a love for tabletop games and access to a pocket universe would be a recipe for a fearsome foe. But you'd be mistaken. The Wadi the baddies of Deep Space Nine's “Move Along Home” did do some damage, however. They made us all watch in horror as Kira had to hop around and sing interplanetary nursery rhymes. (Truly, even the Cardassians never made her sink so low.)
7 – The Edo
They love hard, they live hard, they are the Edo. The pheromone-fueled lust beings of the TNG episode “Justice” are unable to keep their hands off of one another. When they aren't jogging, they are fornicating or playing ultimate frisbee. Worlds like this always come at a price. On Earth, it's called a student loan, but on Rubicun III it comes in the form of arbitrary corporal punishment. When Wesley is condemned to die for failing to keep off the grass, Captain Picard's love of the Prime Directive stretches out the drama. Still, it's hard to think that any race that wears nothing but fragments of silk bed sheets is a threat to a Galaxy Class starship.
6 – The Automated Repair Station
“Dead Stop” was actually a very innovative episode from Enterprise's second season, but at the end of the day it's hard not to think about the killer repair station as anything other than a haunted conveyor car wash.
5 – Teer Maab
For all of the heavy-handedness of his tribe's customs, not to mention his deft political maneuvering or swift use of a Kligat, it's hard to take the big baddie from TOS' “Friday's Child” too seriously when he looks SO MUCH LIKE WILL FERRELL!!! Stay classy, Capella IV!
4 – Armus
I'm sorry, but a puddle of black sludge that can morph into what looks like a dude wearing a wet Hefty bag? I know that Armus is a controversial pick, as the creature from “Skin of Evil” is the one that offed Tasha Yar and there's no underplaying just how shocking that was at the time) but let's be honest – it looks hilarious. And besides, Tasha was already dead inside once she told Wesley to say no to drugs.
3 – The Telepathic Pitcher Plant
Actually, this massive space-borne organism from the Voyager episode “Bliss” was a fairly well-rendered metaphor for the dangers of forcing a solution where one does not exist. Then young Naomi Wildman started calling it by this name. Somebody's gotta tell that kid that branding is important.
2 – Commander Kruge
I'll buy him as the mad time-traveling scientist Doc Brown, as Uncle Fester or as Taxi's Reverend Jim. I'll even buy him in a serious role like in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest if he's playing, you know, a mental patient. But casting Christopher Lloyd as Kruge, a mighty Klingon warrior? May not have been the best call.
1 – The First Ferengi
By the close of the Dominion War we considered Ferengi like Quark, Rom and Nog to be as noble as any member of the Federation. Other Ferengi, like Brunt and Zek are, are their worst, a nuisance. But remember when we first met them on Delphi Ardu IV in the episode “The Last Outpost?” There they were, sneering and hissing and hopping around with lightning whips, trying to look threatening but looking only laughable. It's a testament to the great writers and actors of Star Trek that these creatures were able to evolve into the well-rounded and essential beings of later years.

In 2017 H&I noted this as an episode of Star Trek featuring scary or eerie content , and said " you do n't need a shadowy , dim spaceship to elicit chills .

Sci-fi and horror go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Which is why franchises like Alien and Predator thrive to this day. The Star Trek universe may be known for its heady, philosophical take on science-fiction, and its utopian future, but it has occassionally dipped into the horror genre.
You can find chest-bursting aliens, haunted spaceships, psychological torment, split personalities and nightmares come to life across all of the Star Trek TV series.
In space, no one can hear you scream. But aboard a Federation craft? They are more screams than you might expect. Those who love the darker side of genre television should seek out these episodes.
"The Enemy Within"
The Original Series
Teleporting through a transporter may seem like a magnificent dream for the future, but the things do seem to regularly malfunction. At least when a good horror story is needed. Just five episodes into the series, we get a taste of the dark side, as an "Evil Kirk" struts through the corridors of the Enterprise. Most unsettling of all is the scene in which our hero, who bear in mind had only been with audiences for a month at this point, attempts to assault Yeoman Janice Rand.
"Catspaw"
The Original Series
When it comes to good ol' fashioned Halloween scenery in Star Trek, no other episode tops Catspaw, with its witches, spooky castle, black cats, skeletons and cobwebs. Robert Bloch, writer of Psycho, penned the tale.
"Wolf in the Fold"
The Original Series
A serial killer is on the loose on otherwise peaceful worlds, and all fingers point to… Scotty?! Turns out, it's actually an entity once known as Jack the Ripper. The Ripper spirit eventually takes over the Enterprise computer.
"Beyond the Farthest Star"
The Animated Series
With their bright colors, cartoons have a difficult time being "scary," but we did not want to overlook the underrated Animated Series, which featured most the same talented cast and creators as the live-action original. Here, in its very first episode, TAS has a plot eerily similar to Alien — predating it by six years. The Enterprise comes across a derelict, insectoid ghost ship in the far reaches of space. Naturally, an evil entity is attempted to lure in our heroes to escape and infect the rest of the universe.
"Conspiracy"
The Next Generation
Easily the goriest of any Star Trek episode, thanks to the wonderful work of effects artist Michael Westmore, "Conspiracy" climaxes with this gruesome parasite ripping through the charred ribcage of an unlucky Lt. Commander. I know you're likely screaming, "Kill it! Kill it with phasers!" Thankfully, a surprisingly calm Picard and Riker do just that.
"Night Terrors"
The Next Generation
Trapped in a rift in space, the crew of the Enterprise is plagued by unexplained paranoia and hallucinations. The episode, frankly, is widely disliked by fans, but it does feature some eerie imagery, like these corpses rising under shrounds in the morgue.
"The Next Phase"
The Next Generation
Geordi La Forge and Ensign Ro Laren are presumed dead after — you guessed it — a transporter accident. Turn out, however, that they have instead turned into some kind of ghosts who wander the Enterprise, unable to interact with the living crew.
"Schisms"
The Next Generation
Some crew members complain of a lack of sleep, and suddenly find themselves terrified of ordinary objects. After some psychological probing, it is discovered the all have the shared experience of having been abducted. Creepier yet, Rikers arm seems to have been removed and re-attached without his knowledge. Yep, it's good ol' alien abduction! Only, these aren't little gray men.
"Frame of Mind"
The Next Generation
Speaking Riker, the guy looks like a bass player for the Cure in this gothic tale. The Commander keeps jumping between two realities — once of which has him as a mentally deranged man in an insane asylum.
"Sub Rosa"
The Next Generation
Deep Space Nine is certainly the darkest of the Star Trek series, literally in its lighting and in its overall tone. But Next Gen absolutely served up the most horror episodes, as you can see. In this late episode, we get a classic haunted house tale. When Beverly Crusher visits the house of her recently deceased grandmother, a ghost called Ronin bewitches her into falling in love with him.
"Whispers"
Deep Space Nine
With its overriding theme of war, DS9 typically dealt with realistic horror. But it did dip into traditional spooks here and there. Actually, this episode is quite similar to a classic 1953 Philip K. Dick short story, "Imposter," which was adapted into a Gary Sinise flick decades later. O'Brien returns from a mission and everything feels… off. Is something wrong with everyone? Is something wrong with him?
"Distant Voices"
Deep Space Nine
Dr. Bashir is rapidly aging. Quark is cowering with fear behind the bar, muttering about how someone is going to kill them all. Bashir continues to deteriorate. For some, aging is the greatest fear.
"Empok Nor"
Deep Space Nine
O'Brien and a small team journey to an abandoned station to scavenge rare Cardassian parts needed for repairs. There, bodies of crew members are discovered hanging from the walls — bringing to mind Aliens — and a booby trap endangers them all.
"The Thaw"
Voyager
As It has proven, audiences eat up a creepy clown. Here, Michael McKean plays a truly sinister clown who torments poor Harry Kim. The episode also has echoes of A Nightmare on Elm Street — not to mention serious parallels with The Matrix — as we discover that the Voyager crew are experiencing their greatest fears while stuck unconscious in stasis.
"Darkling"
Voyager
The tried-and-true Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde trope inspires this episode, which sees the Doctor breaking bad, a la "The Enemy Within."
"The Haunting of Deck Twelve"
Voyager
How do you frighten a bunch of Borg kids? Neelix tells a spooky campfire story. And what better ghost story is there in the Star Trek universe than a malicious entity taking over a ship?
"Dead Stop"
Enterprise
Enterprise proved that you don't need a shadowy, dim spaceship to elicit chills. Sometimes, bright, white and antiseptic can be equally unsettling, as we see when Archer, T'Pol and Tucker board a strange, desolate station. Things always seem to go wrong when the crew needs to make repairs, no?
"Impulse"
Enterprise
At last, the Star Trek universe logically arrived at… Vulcan zombies?! A toxin called Trellium-D turns the typically stoic race into violent monsters. Right off the bat, we see the effects as T'Pol is strapped onto a bed, screaming and thrashing. It makes for a strange introductory transition, as we cut from a screaming T'Pol into that corny cheesy Enterprise theme song. Otherwise, this is about as straight-up horror as Star Trek gets.

More than 50 years after it started, Star Trek is still on the air with Discovery being the most recent incarnation. When you have been consistently producing new content for the same franchise for this amount of time, things are bound to get weird every now and then. Because we love Star Trek, and we love to categorize things, we decided to take a look at the times where the final frontier got a little creepy.
It might be because the atmosphere was scary, or maybe the on-screen situation was uncomfortable, but there are definitely a bunch of scenes in the history of Star Trek where things went… someplace we didn't want to go.
One thing we did notice while researching this article is that some series are more represented than others. For starters, it looks like Deep Space Nine wasn’t all that creepy. Sure, it was dark, but most of the later part of its run had to do with war, shady characters, and the moral decisions they had to make. It was super serious, but only had a few instances of creepy scenarios. On the other hand, The Next Generation and Voyager seemed to be bursting with creepy ideas from its writers. It doesn’t matter if it was good or bad, these definitely left a lasting impression on viewers.
So take a deep breath, because we are about to take a closer look at all the ways that Star Trek made us shiver over the years.
25 The Halloween Special
Unlike most shows that take place in our current time, Star Trek has never been bound by the different specials that most television series have to go through when a real-life Holiday is in the way. After all, who knows if we will actually be celebrating Christmas or Thanksgiving in the future? The Original Series took a chance with what was basically a Halloween episode, airing a few days before the celebration. In Catspaw, the crew goes into a weird castle on an alien planet and meets aliens that take human forms and will sometimes look like black cats if they feel that it is somehow scarier. On top of everything, we have Sulu and Scotty acting like almost-zombies, something which adds to the horror movie atmosphere of the episode.
24 Data’s Dreams
The premise of Phantasms, a late TNG episode, relies on one crazy coincidence. Data has been experimenting with a new program which allows him to dream, just at the same time as an invisible organism is eating the crew’s body cells. It’s a stretch even by Star Trek standards, but my hat goes off to the rest of the episode. It’s a hall of fame of creepy scenes: Data’s dreams produce such classics as Beverly Crusher drinking Riker’s brain with a straw, while the Commander looks totally disinterested in his own fate. We also get Troi laying on a table, her body turned into a cake being consumed with much delight by Worf. It has mint frosting, which happens to be his favorite. The only thread keeping all of these images together is a bunch of old-time miners taking the ship apart which can be seen in most dream sequences.
23 Too Close To The Ghost
The unfortunately famous TNG episode titled Sub Rosa features one truly creepy scene, but first, some context. After her grandmother’s passing, Beverly Crusher decides to stay behind on the colony her grandma inhabited to become a traditional healer or something. Why? Because she’s basically under the control of a ghost (or an entity which exists in a different phase, because it’s Star Trek) which used to be her grandmother’s lover. The creepy scene in question comes when Beverly basically abandons herself to the ghost and things become PG-13 in a hurry. In one way, it is incredibly creepy to see Beverly engage in this kind of relationship with a ghost. On the other hand, it’s one heck of an acting tour de force by Gates McFadden.
22 Two For One
If you have ever seen The Next Generation episode Skin Of Evil, you know that it carries a two for one of creepiness. If we start with the lesser issue on the scale, there is Commander Riker who gets swallowed whole into a pit of tar-like substance by a creature which is nothing but an evil puddle of black goo. Fun fact: the goo was a mix of printer ink and Metamucil, which must have been super fun for Jonathan Frakes to try and remove from his various orifices after the facts. The second creepy scene of the episode is the demise of Tasha Yar. The show was less than a year old at this point, and the casual way with which the creature disposes of Yar is enough to make you question the meaning of life.
21 Clowns And I Don't Mix
If you have a thing against clowns (like most sane people do), then the TNG episode Cost Of Living is one of your worst nightmares come true. Despite a premise where Lwaxana Troi is only supposed to try and teach Worf’s son Alexander how to have fun, we are treated to some of the creepiest creatures in The Next Generation.
On the Holodeck, the duo comes face to face with the Wind Dancer.
It sounds cool, but it is just a fancy phrase to describe the disembodied head of the mix between a colourful mime and a clown. Lwaxana’s idea of a fun time also includes sad acrobats, hairy dudes in mud baths and mute dancers. Lwaxana’s vision of a relaxed evening is awfully close to my vision of a sleepless night.
20 Where’s My Mind?
I am not even sure how I can properly describe this one. In Frame of Mind, good old Commander Riker is part of a play organized by Beverly Crusher. Somewhere along the way, he also goes on a mission to infiltrate an alien planet, and that’s where things get mixed up. Sometimes he is in the play, but not really, which means he is in a mental hospital for real, but it’s all a conspiracy by the aliens, but maybe Enterprise never really existed? Riker spends most of the episode in a prison with other equally delusional people, and for most of the time, we are almost convinced he might actually have caused a man’s premature passing. It is uncomfortable, it makes you question what’s real, but the creepiest part is that the episode makes it a possibility that all seven seasons of TNG entirely take place within Riker’s mind.
19 The Absolute First
Most casual Star Trek fans might think of William Shatner and his legendary Captain Kirk when they think of The Original Series. The truth is that Bill wasn’t even going to be a part of the project when it started. Captain Pike is the Enterprise’s Captain during the pilot episode The Cage, a story which leans heavily on the creepy factor instead of standard sci-fi fare.
For one, the episode’s alien threat (and their bulging head veins) can read their victims’ mind and project images into their brain.
This is the cause for the episode’s reveal: the poor girl sent by the aliens to lure Pike into their trap almost perished in a ship crash but was put back together by aliens that had never seen a human being before. As such, her real appearance is as unnatural and ghastly as early 60’s makeup will allow.
18 The Takeover
The first season of The Next Generation was a little underwhelming when compared to the rest of its run. However, we can still salute the bigger ideas attempted by the writers, one of which was particularly high-concept, but which did not lead anywhere. Several clues were dropped near the end of the season that the Federation might be in danger, possibly from an outside force infiltrating the chain of command. This culminated with the episode Conspiracy, where we finally learn that parasites have taken over several high-ranking officers.
Riker has to pretend to eat bugs just to pass as one of them, but it’s the messy demise of the top alien representative which left a mark.
One phaser blast to the human host exposes the grotesque alien dwelling within, and one final shot vaporizes what’s left of it. For one scene, it was Twilight Zone more than Star Trek.
17 Paranoia
Deep Space Nine did venture into creepy territories a few times. Empok Nor places the elite team of Chief O’Brien, Garak, Nog, and a bunch of Federation people we have never heard of before or since, on an abandoned Cardassian space station eerily similar to Deep Space Nine. Unbeknownst to the squad, a bunch of extremely dangerous Cardassian soldiers were in stasis on the station and were inadvertently activated by their arrival.
Even worse, Garak seems to be affected by the station and turns on his team.
The remaining Federation crew must hide and hope that help will come, as they are slowly being eliminated one by one. The episode is an agile mix between a psychological thriller and a slasher film. Think of the generally uncomfortable atmosphere of the first two films in the Alien series, and you’re getting close in terms of the episode’s feel.
16 Bugs Are The Worst
I have no idea how the science behind all of it is supposed to work, but the Voyager episode Macrocosm suggests that viruses could eventually evolve to become visible to the naked eye, eventually getting as big as an adult human being. That’s all right, but the creepy part is that those viruses decide to take on the shape of mosquitos who transmit themselves by biting their victims. The poor saps then grow abscesses on the site of the bite, and these eventually burst, releasing more viruses-as-mosquitos. The fact that these creatures hunt down the crew is bad enough, but whenever they burst out of a sick crew member’s head or neck, like millions of tiny Xenomorphs, I almost lose my lunch.
15 Lost In Space
We won’t spend too much time on the fact that the crew of the Equinox is actually responsible for the entire debacle, and we will instead focus on the sequences spread out over this two-parter. In Equinox, the crew of Voyager has to protect themselves from dangerous creatures that appear in our realm only for a few seconds at a time.
A single touch from one of these aliens is enough to basically turn a victim into a dried up husk.
If the image is not evocative enough, think of a mix between the victims in The Ring and the bad guy at the end of The Last Crusade once he drank from the wrong cup. These aliens are lethal, vengeful, and more importantly, they never give up. The way they hunt is creepy enough, but the sense of hopelessness permeating the first part is unlike anything else on Voyager.
14 The Haunting
This is a case where the entire episode could be considered, as there isn’t a single scene that makes it freaky. Instead, it’s the general atmosphere permeating The Haunting of Deck 12 that makes it spooky. During a planned power outage on Voyager, Neelix has to take care of the Borg kids. He does so by telling them a scary story in the style of a campfire tale. What he’s saying is at times disturbing, but we are never quite sure if what he is saying is real. It’s only at the end, once the kids are put back to sleep, that we learn the truth: The entity which, in his story, took over the ship and tried to get rid of the crew, was traveling with them this whole time.
13 Use Your Brain
The creepy factor in Dead Stop, from the second season of Enterprise, comes from the design of the repair station. Enterprise had to stop there after a particularly damaging encounter with a Romulan mine, and things at first seem perfect, maybe even too much. Captain Archer is suspicious, especially after he learns that the completely automatic station has scanned the ship, its database, and the whole crew before starting repairs.
There’s a sense that the crew is constantly under surveillance, and that something cannot be this flawless without hiding a secret.
As it turns out, the problem is that the station’s computer core runs on actual humanoid brains, and it decided that it wants to add Mayweather to its collection. The reveal of the station’s core, with unconscious bodies getting their brain probed by tubes and wires, is one of Enterprise’s most unsettling set piece.
12 Tangled
Can we all agree that spider webs are creepy? Even if you aren’t especially afraid of spiders, there’s nothing fun about minding your own business and walking straight into an unexpected spider web and being unable to get it out of your face. Now, what if there existed a creature made entirely of spider webs? That’s the nightmare that the Enterprise episode Vox Sola has imagined for us. They use the fact that the alien creature is so unlike anything else to explore language and communication, but I’m not buying it. The sentient web spends the whole hour taking over the ship, abducting crew members and wrapping them up in more and more web, all because it wants to be taken back to its planet. I was never in danger of becoming a fan of spiders anyway, but Vox Sola made a bad thing worse.
11 Illogical
The crew of Enterprise is, as far as I can remember, the first Star Trek crew to meet with what are more or less classical zombies. In Impulse, they find a Vulcan ship which is not as abandoned as they thought it was. The Vulcans are still aboard, but have been transformed into mindless creatures by some sort of dangerous element they wanted to use to isolate their ship. We are then treated to all the classic of the genre:
Our heroes are pursued by the zombies, they have to fight them when necessary, and eventually one of their own gets turned.
In this case, it’s because T’Pol, Enterprise’s resident Vulcan, gets exposed to the unknown element before they can determine the cause of the epidemic. Surprisingly, the otherwise calm and composed T’Pol is quite effective as a zombie.
10 Problem In The Matrix
A staple of Voyager is The Doctor trying to improve himself somehow by changing his program, and things going awry from there. It’s often played for laughs, and only once did it really become sinister. In Darkling, The Doctor takes parts of the personalities from historic figures in order to enhance his own, but instead, all of the worst parts mix to create a sadistic alter ego. It’s that “new and improved” Doctor which pushes an innocent alien off a cliff, burns the hands of another one in a fire just to see what it’s like, and paralyzes Torres from the waist down so she can be tortured for information. He also has time to jump into an abyss with Kes before they were beamed back aboard Voyager. His program was reverted on the way, and he acts as if nothing happened, and the sudden switch might as well be the scariest part of the episode.
9 Just Don’t Think Too Hard About It
The Thaw is a little hard to explain, probably because I’m not even sure I understand it after two viewings. What’s important is that Michael McKean, famous for being a part of Spinal Tap, plays a scary clown who runs a computer simulation of a circus.
People are plugged into the simulation, and he keeps them scared for his own enjoyment.
Sometimes he gives them attacks, which sounds counterproductive if you are the incarnation of fear and you subsist off of living people’s minds. The circus itself is creepy enough to make it on this list, but the real kicker is the scenes where he turns his attention to Harry Kim: the poor ensign almost loses his head, and is eventually attached to a stretcher where he would have been cut, if it wasn’t for a timely save from The Doctor.
8 The Exorcism Of Keiko O’Brien
It has to be extremely unsettling to be married for a long time, only to wake up next to the same person one day and realize that something’s wrong. They still look the same, but their personality has changed so drastically that they have become a completely different person. That’s what poor Chief O’Brien has to go through in The Assignment when a Pah-Wraith takes over Keiko’s body. They do so to force O’Brien to destroy the wormhole, ending their feud with The Prophets. When Miles does not cooperate immediately, the Pah-Wraith (as Keiko) jumps off Deep Space Nine’s balcony, causing grievous injuries, and threatens to do the same to his daughter. Good obviously triumphs in the end, but seeing the Chief so helpless when his loved one is in danger is rough.
7 Fight For Your Dreams
The TNG episode Night Terrors has a pretty cool premise: the crew is stuck in a rift where some sort of telepathic power is stopping them from dreaming. The result is that everyone on the Enterprise starts hallucinating, and it’s up to Data (who does not sleep) and Troi (who can communicate with the other telepath) to save the day. The scenes where Troi is floating in a greenish cloud while dreaming is almost comical, but the episode gains back its creepy vibe with the help of Dr. Crusher’s hallucination:
While working in the morgue, alone, she imagines that the dozens of bodies surrounding her all sit up from their table at the same time.
Crusher is obviously scared and has to keep repeating herself that none of it is real. I had to keep doing the same just so I wouldn't need new underwear.
6 Aliens Probing
We sometimes hear about people who claim that they have been abducted by aliens in the middle of the night. The X-Files made a lot of money exploring that phenomenon. In the 24th century, however, you would think that this would have stopped, since the humans of Star Trek can actually communicate with aliens. Still, in Schisms, the cast of The Next Generation must face this old threat once more. The abductors are more violent this time around, and go way past simple probing. They do weird experiments on the crew, such as cutting body parts and reattaching them, or replacing a person’s blood with some kind of liquid plastic (the crewman obviously does not survive this one). The creepiest part is when Riker is semi-awake during the experiment and has to watch the aliens, who communicate in insect-like sounds, mutilate his crewmate on the next table over.

The Scariest Star Trek Episodes
Featuring body horror, Borg, evil clowns, amputated limbs and Deanna Troi as a cake, here are Star Trek’s scariest TV episodes to watch this spooky season
Looking for some space-based thrills and chills to enjoy this Halloween? Have no fear – or have a lot of fear, actually – Star Trek has you covered! We’ve listed 28 of the scariest episodes from across the franchise in order of just how much they freaked us out, so whether your preference is for deep space exploration, war-torn space stations, or the far reaches of the known universe, there’s something here for you.
This list excludes all of the feature films, which tend to be scarier on the whole as they’re aiming to make an impact on a cinema audience (Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan and Star Trek: First Contact have some especially terrifying sequences). It also excludes The Animated Series and Lower Decks. The Animated Series is seriously under-rated, but it’s bright, colourful style and slightly lighter tone don’t really bring the scares. Lower Decks features lots of blood, guts, gore, zombies and a giant spider to rival Shelob – and that’s just in the first episode! – but it’s basically satire, so none of it really comes across as scary.
This list is also firmly focused on spooky Halloween chills. There are many, many episodes of Star Trek from across the franchise that deal with torture or moral murkiness. We’re not looking for episodes that will make you question whether it’s possible to be a good person in a harsh universe, but for classic horror movie scares – creepy set-ups, scary scenarios, and spooky chills.
28. The Original Series: season 2, episode 7 ‘Catspaw’
This episode isn’t really all that different from the many The Original Series episodes where some implausibly powerful alien being plays dangerous games with the crew that include a hefty dose of fantasy, but the Halloween-style setting gives it a spooky vibe. Captain Kirk tries to use his sexual allure to solve the problem, of course, and completely disrupts an alien relationship through sheer force of his masculinity. But all is well in the end, though the scene where the villain uses sympathetic magic to over-heat the Enterprise as she dangles a model of it over a candle flame is pretty freaky.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Cheesy Halloween set-ups.
27. Voyager: season 5, episode 18 ‘Course Oblivion’
The idea that you might not be who you think you are has a clear existential horror to it, and this isn’t the only episode on this list based on that concept. It’s really more sad than scary as the truth of the situation is discovered about halfway through, and once the entire crew realise they’re not human after all, but recent copies of the original Voyager crew, they’re too concerned with the fact that they’re dying in vast numbers to dwell much on the personal horror of their position. Even knowing they aren’t the original crew, watching these beloved characters die one by one is gut-wrenching, and the final moments are truly the stuff of nightmares – they’re so close to help, but just can’t cry out…
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Disintegration, ship-wide destruction.
26. Enterprise: season 2, episode 4 ‘Dead Stop’
Creepiness doesn’t have to come from old houses, dark streets, and rooms full of shadows. It can also come from bright, white light and empty spaces. Threats don’t have to be immediately obvious – they can come cloaked in what looks like kindness and generosity. With creepy direction from Voyager’s Roxann Dawson, who also voices the mysterious computer, and the always unnerving theme of a computer killing organic lifeforms, this creates an unsettling vibe without the schlocky Halloween staples. Throw in a classic fake order from a convincing-sounding voice, the apparent death of a regular character (not an uncommon occurrence on Star Trek, it has to be said), and Archer’s desperate plea, familiar to all of us who’ve ever called a helpline, of “I need to talk to a person!”, and you’ve got a pleasantly unsettling hour of television.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Automated telephone helplines.
25. Deep Space Nine: season 2, episode 14 ‘Whispers’
This isn’t the only episode on this list about the horror of discovering you aren’t who you thought you were, or about a family member who isn’t their usual self. But it does offer a different, and equally disturbing, take on the idea. For most of this episode, we follow Chief O’Brien as he returns to Deep Space Nine, only to find the behaviour of everyone around him is just a little… off. The ending is tragically moving, but the bulk of the episode is increasingly disconcerting, with O’Brien unable to trust anyone or to work out what could possibly have happened while he was away. It plays into fears deeper than the fear of things that go bump in the night – the fear that your friends and family might drift away from you, or turn on you, or pull apart from you. And that’s one of the scariest things of all.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Being abandoned, your boss and colleagues turning on you.
24. Voyager: season 6, episode 25 ‘The Haunting Of Deck Twelve’
Voyager’s Borg children get a campfire story from Neelix addressing the apparently ‘haunted’ Deck 12. It’s a space alien, of course, but it has its moments providing some good scares and another opportunity for the Voyager crew to nearly abandon ship (something they make more of a habit of than they should considering they’re lost in the Delta Quadrant). The campfire ghost story set-up adds a nice sense of Halloween fun to the tale, there’s some nice character work (Neelix’s frequent fear of darkness and nothingness comes up, and his love/hate relationship with Tuvok) and there are some scary moments – after all, how do you outrun a gas cloud?
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Gas, nebulas.
23. The Next Generation: season 7, episode 19 ‘Genesis’
This one is too terrible an episode to get any higher on the list – we really can’t recommend it as an actually good episode of Star Trek. But it’s here because you can’t deny that as the Enterprise crew slowly de-evolve and regress to earlier phases of evolution from their respective species, the effects are genuinely unnerving, as well as occasionally laughable. Voyager’s ‘Threshold’ (frequently referred to as the worst episode of Star Trek of all time) similarly includes some effective body horror before it descends into ludicrousness and people start turning into lizards and abandoning their lizard babies, but is too silly to include – this one, however, hangs on just long enough to produce some real scares. It helps that the crew are de-evolving, rather than evolving into an apparently higher form.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Spiders, lizards, lemurs, and terrifying human-animal hybrids.
22. The Next Generation: season 4, episode 17 ‘Night Terrors’
One of several ‘waking nightmare’ episodes, this one is let down a bit by the somewhat unconvincing scenes of Troi flying through a weird green skyscape, but there are plenty of properly creepy moments to enjoy. Dr Crusher’s hallucination of a roomful of corpses sitting up is a standout, but Picard thinking the turbolift is shrinking in on him is alarming too, and the scraps of audio revealing what happened to the late crew of the USS Brattain, who murdered each other in the grip of paranoid hallucinations, are chilling. The science behind the idea, that we need REM sleep to be able to function, is solid, which makes the whole thing even more frightening.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Corpses, insomnia.
21. Voyager: season 2, episode 8 ‘Persistence of Vision’
Over the course of seven years, Voyager did so many episodes in which almost the whole crew were knocked out, suffered from hallucinations, put to sleep in a collective dream or otherwise mentally trapped by aliens, that they made a reference to it in season seven’s ‘Shattered’. This one is a good choice for Halloween, though, thanks to some nicely spooky imagery. It featured Janeway’s Victorian Gothic holo-novel and so her hallucinations include a ghostly little girl in Victorian clothes having a tantrum about cucumber sandwiches, which is particularly unsettling. It also features an unusually ‘evil’ and mysterious villain who has no motive other than being a nasty character and vanishes into thin air, and allows Kes to really shine at the climax, showing off her own considerable powers.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Creepy children, massive boils leaking pus.
20. The Next Generation: season 1, episode 25 ‘Conspiracy’
This episode is remembered for one thing and one thing only – the exploding head. And the alien chest-burster incident that comes right after it. Although the ending seems to hint at a wider threat, it was never officially followed up on within the series, possibly partly because this episode was so much gorier than anything seen on Star Trek up to that date. It also experienced some mutations of its own in development. What was originally intended to be a conspiracy within Starfleet was nixed by then-still-alive Gene Roddenberry as not conforming to his utopian vision. Perhaps this is why, to make up for the less psychologically disturbing conspiracy-by-alien-outsider, the production team went all out on the gore at the episode’s climax. It’s certainly memorable!
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Gore, alien chest-bursters.
19. Voyager: season 3, episode 18 ‘Darkling’
Robert Picardo hams it up gloriously in this homage to Jekyll and Hyde. The idea behind the episode, that when the Doctor patches the personalities of famous people into his program he gets their dark sides as well as their good qualities, is a neat concept and an interesting thought. The actual way these dark sides manifest is a bit bland, being focused mostly on general evil gurning and an obsession with Kes that twists the Doctor’s own genuine feelings for her into something more sinister. There was more subtlety to William Shatner’s Evil Kirk in ‘The Enemy Within’. But it does the job of providing some chilling moments, especially when B’Elanna finds herself at the mercy of the Evil Doctor.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Doctors, creepy stalkers.
18. Discovery: season 1, episode 3 ‘Context Is For Kings’
This is only the third episode of Discovery, and the first to be set on the titular ship, so it’s our introduction to much of the crew and to the series in general. At this early point, it looked like Discovery was heading in a very dark and horror-tinged direction indeed. With Gabriel Lorca as Captain, Burnham still a prisoner, and Stamets at his frostiest, the series already promised to be ‘darker’ – and then we find out the grisly fate of Discovery’s sister ship’s crew, turned inside out, their bodies twisted and mangled. The rest of the series so far has gone to plenty of morally and emotionally dark places, but for sheer scares and perhaps a little queasiness, this is the one to watch.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Gore, morally dubious Starfleet captains
17. The Original Series: season 1, episode 1 ‘The Man Trap’
Star Trek starts as it means to go on – the very first episode to air is one of the creepy ones (and the earlier pilots are both pretty unsettling as well). The main reason it’s remembered as a scary one is the great creature design on the Monster of the Week, the Salt Vampire. The combination of gaping, toothy mouth, drooping eyes and Yeti-like body is impressively inventive. But there’s an emotional core to this episode as well, as Dr McCoy’s ex turns out to have been killed by the creature long ago. Her husband’s willing acceptance of the creature that killed her as a replacement is probably the creepiest thing of all.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Shapeshifters, the Yeti.
16. The Next Generation: season 7, episode 6 ‘Phantasms’
Another nightmare episode, but it’s not originality we’re giving points for here. The plot of this episode is fairly basic and the key concept of seeing nightmares is one we can see plenty of elsewhere – it’s not even the only ‘nightmare episode’ from The Next Generation. But the reason both appear on this list is because, while the concept may not be stunningly original, and the episodes may even be rather cheesy, the bizarre images we see in them are genuinely unnerving. The Troi-cake may be often mocked, but it really is a freaky image, iffy visual effects notwithstanding. Add to that Dr Crusher drinking from Riker’s head and a phone inside Data’s body, and you have a good set of weird images to freak yourself out with this Halloween.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Being eaten, being drunk from.
15. Enterprise: season 3, episode 16 ‘Doctor’s Orders’
One of two episodes on this list directed by Voyager’s Roxann Dawson, who clearly has a good eye for a creepy set-up. The plot has something of a connection to Voyager as well, as it’s essentially a re-tread of the Voyager episode ‘One’; most of the crew are put to sleep for medical protection while one or two, immune, crew-members are left to roam the ship alone. The earlier episode featured a longer period of isolation and a more vulnerable crew-member (former Borg Seven of Nine, who had a terror of being alone), but this one just edged it onto the list thanks to a few details. It has some welcome comedy beats breaking up the repetitive nature of isolation (Phlox wandering around naked is a nice touch) and Phlox consciously refers to the situation as a ‘haunted house’ for a reason, as it deliberately draws on classic tropes like rattling chains, dark shadows, and strange noises. Also this one includes a cute dog. A spooky story can always be enhanced by throwing in a cute dog.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Haunted houses (or spaceships), giant insects.
14. Deep Space Nine: season 3, episode 26 ‘The Adversary’
This was the third season finale, and it opens with Sisko recording “my final Commander’s log” – that’s because he’s been promoted to Captain, but it creates a sense of finality, of the closing of a door, from the start. It makes the subsequent paranoia-inducing hunt for an enemy who could be disguised as any member of the crew – a Changeling – even more tense. Odo says no Changeling would ever harm another, so you know what’s going to happen by the end of the episode, but it’s well made; claustrophobic, with echoes of The Thing and body snatcher themes (without the actual snatching). No one knows who to trust and everyone is getting trigger-happy – foreshadowing the increasing violence that would become a feature of the series as it moved towards a war storyline in the future. And Sisko has barely been Captain five minutes when he gets to play with the auto-destruct, as all Starfleet Captains love to do every now and again.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Sleeper agents, clones.
13. Deep Space Nine: season 5, episode 5 ‘The Assignment’
A lot of the episodes on this list take a classic horror fantasy trope and give it a science-fiction mask – ghosts that are gaseous aliens, witches that are telepathically powerful aliens, vampires that are after salt rather than blood. This one is a science-fiction take on demon possession, as poor Chief O’Brien is told that his wife has been taken over by a malevolent entity, but he can’t tell anyone else without risking her life and his daughter’s. Key to the whole thing is a great performance from Rosalind Chao, whose manner and bearing through the whole thing is definitely that of a new character who is not Keiko.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Demon possession.
12. Enterprise: season 2, episode 10 ‘Vanishing Point’
There are a number of Star Trek episodes where various crew-members think they’re dead and wandering the ship’s passageways as a ghost (and one slightly odd episode of Voyager, ‘Cathexis’, where Chakotay literally does so). Most focus on the impact of the apparent loss on the other crew, contemplations of the afterlife, and so on. In this episode, though, Hoshi first experiences unsettling body horror as birthmarks move and her translation skills fade, then seems to be becoming a ghost slowly, unable to touch things properly and even starting to vanish entirely. It’s far more spooky and freaky than the usual ‘out of phase’ storyline. And here’s an extra dose of horror – all this seemed to happen to Hoshi during the 8.3 seconds she was in the transporter buffer. So what exactly did Scotty go through when he ended up stuck in there for 80 years in The Next Generation’s ‘Relics’?!
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Turning invisible, matter transporters.
11. The Original Series: season 3, episode 4 ‘And The Children Shall Lead’
Before we get to the opening credits of this episode, we’ve already seen a group of children dance around happily singing a strange version of ‘Ring a Ring a Roses’ at the site of a mass adult suicide. Do you need to know more than that?! Later on, they all move round in a circle chanting a call to a ‘friendly angel’ which produces a green, translucent being wanting universal control (as usual) and they set about driving the crew of the Enterprise mad using bizarre hallucinations including premature ageing, planets that aren’t there, and so on. I mean, if that summary doesn’t creep you out, you’re either a sadistic small child or a power-mad translucent green alien yourself. As a bonus, it has a genuinely affecting ending, too, as the full horror of what happened to their parents hits the children.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Creepy children, children in general.
10. Voyager: season 3, episode 15 ‘Coda’
This episode is another “I’m dead!” fakeout, in which a crew-member – in this case Captain Janeway – appears to have died and seems to be watching their friends mourn them as a ghost. This one has a couple of twists though. There’s a time loop element with Janeway experiencing repeated deaths of different kinds in different loops. And then, just to really freak us out, a sinister alien tries to convince Janeway to follow him to the afterlife, even implying that he is waiting at the point of death for her, and everyone else, whenever and wherever she eventually dies. It seems far more likely he’s just a creepy Delta Quadrant alien trying to harvest something, somehow (a soul eater? does he eat life force?) but it’s still a deeply disturbing concept.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Death and dying.
9. The Next Generation: season 3, episode 26 ‘The Best Of Both Worlds, Pt 1’
The Borg were first introduced in the episode ‘Q Who’, and they were fairly terrifying then. Their total lack of interest in anything they don’t perceive to be a threat ironically makes them so much more frightening than they would be if they attacked others on sight, while their cybernetic implants and collective consciousness give them a ghoulish creepiness. But however terrifying they seemed at first, they became so much scarier again when their main method of conquering was introduced – assimilation. Even in this episode, there’s not a whisper of it for most of the story – until the captured Captain Picard turns to face Beverley (and the camera) to reveal a face full of Borg technology. “He is a Borg!” as Worf exclaims. On first viewing, with no idea it was coming, it was a serious shock, and seriously scary.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Cyborgs, Oxo cubes.
8. Deep Space Nine: season 4, episode 24 ‘The Quickening’
We had to include this one, in which Dr Bashir desperately tries to help people suffering from ‘the Blight’, a fatal illness caused by a biological weapon long before the story starts. It’s not an infectious disease, but it is passed from mother to child through the generations, and society has completely reformed around it, developing a system of ritualised euthanasia as the only method they have for dealing with it. I trust there’s no need to spell out exactly what is so scary about this scenario. It’s also extremely depressing. There’s some hope at the end, for Ekoria’s baby at least, but it’s small comfort after the harrowing grimness of the rest of the episode. To be honest, we’re not sure we’d entirely recommend watching this episode right now, unless you’re in the mood for some serious wallowing. But it is definitely scary. Very, very scary.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Biological weapons, plagues.
7. Enterprise: season 3, episode 5 ‘Impulse’
Often, the scariest or most impactful episodes have the shortest cold opens. This Enterprise episode drops us straight into the action with a screaming T’Pol brought into sickbay, clearly out of control – and cut to credits. Now that is the way to unsettle an audience from the start! Jolene Blalock puts in a great, unhinged performance and the shaky camerawork all adds to the feeling of horror, so by the time we flash back one day to find out what’s happened, we’re prepped for horror. The rest of the episode plays out in classic space horror movie style, all darkness and noises and flashing lights, everyone running around looking filthy and sweaty being chased by Vulcan zombies while poor T’Pol descends further and further into madness. A 45-minute mini horror movie.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Your own strong emotions, zombies.
6. Deep Space Nine: season 5, episode 24 ‘Empok Nor’
This one is another horror movie in miniature. You know things are going to go seriously wrong when a handful of regular characters go on a mission with a collection of character who, if they were in The Original Series, would probably be wearing red shirts. This episode, in which our heroes go scavenging on Deep Space Nine’s abandoned sister station and discover some unhinged Cardassians, has got dark corridors, a diminishing cast, a regular character under the influence of psychotropic drugs becoming dangerous, and the odd jump scare. It gives Andrew Robinson as Garek an always welcome chance to play the more sinister side of the character, and keeps the tension running high throughout.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Dark corridors, slasher movies.
5. The Original Series: season 2, episode 14: ‘Wolf in the Fold’
A number of original series episodes are scary in the wrong way, for the wrong reasons. Despite Star Trek’s overt efforts to combat sexism in its own way, it was still a deeply sexist show made in a sexist time, and could be outright misogynistic on occasion (the very last episode, ‘Turnabout Intruder’, is probably the worst offender). But ‘Wolf In The Fold’ blends the rather less enjoyable creepiness of women being objectified with some properly horrifying chills. It’s implied through much of the story that Scotty might be a serial killer, which is genuinely unsettling, as it plays into the very real fear that anyone around you, someone you feel you know well, could be hiding a dark secret. While the eventual reveal that he has somehow been possessed by Jack the Ripper (who was an alien life form possessing a human, of course) offers some comfort there, the idea that a Victorian serial killer entity has been travelling around killing women for centuries is certainly frightening.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Serial killers, Scotty.
4. The Next Generation: season 6, episode 21 ‘Frame Of Mind’
Poor Riker. He’s just finished performing in a play in which he plays a man kept locked up, drugged, and experiencing a mental breakdown, and he gets abducted by aliens who keep him locked up, drug him, and force him to question what is or isn’t real, provoking a mental breakdown. What were the chances, eh?! Jumping between his usual role on the Enterprise and being a patient in a mental institution who has committed some horrible crime, it becomes increasingly difficult to work out what’s ‘real’, and in the end, just about none of what we saw was real at all – except for Riker’s very real imprisonment by a hostile alien. Jonathan Frakes puts in a wonderfully frazzled performance in an episode that will make your head spin, leaving the audience as confused as Riker is.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Mental institutions, being imprisoned.
3. Voyager: season 4, episode 7 ‘Scientific Method’
This is the one where an alien race who keep themselves invisible use the Voyager crew as test subjects for their lab experiments. The initial mystery is intriguing, but it’s after the reveal that things get really alarming. What was a frustrating and extremely familiar medical problem for Janeway, recurrent headaches, becomes a terrifying visual as we see the aliens surrounding the oblivious Captain, sticking enormous needles into her brain. Then, in one of the more chilling and uncomfortable sequences of television you’re likely to see, Seven of Nine, the only person able to see them, must then ignore them completely while they probe her as she takes the turbolift. Luckily Janeway puts a stop to it by flying right at some binary pulsars, and these aliens are so scary that actually seems like a good idea.
One to avoid of you’re scared of: Scientists, needles.
2. The Next Generation: season 6, episode 5 ‘Schisms’
There’s a recurring theme to a lot of the scariest episodes in this list – body horror. It’s what steps the Borg up to becoming even more terrifying than they already were, it’s what makes ‘Scientific Method’ so incredibly chilling, and it’s a big part of what makes ‘Schisms’ one of Star Trek’s all-time most unsettling episodes. The revelation that Riker has had his limbs amputated and re-attached is simply horrifying. Combine that with a classic alien abduction story and the incredibly unsettling, insect-like clicking noise the abductors make, and you have a properly scary alien abduction horror story to rival The X-Files (one of the biggest shows on television at the time it aired).
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Alien abduction.
1. Voyager: season 2, episode 23 ‘The Thaw’
Ranking these episodes in pure terms of how freaking terrifying they are, this instalment easily comes out at number one. Coming out shortly before The Matrix, this episode features a similar premise, that if the brain is hooked up to a virtual environment, a lethal shock within the virtual world might kill the person. But it’s taken in a very different direction, for the friendly aliens who initially went into the virtual environment to while away a long time in stasis have been taken hostage by a virtual clown and his circus troupe, the manifestation of their fears run amok. So basically, they’re trapped in an unending nightmare, kept in a state of constant, perpetual fear by a garish collection of unnerving characters. The entire episode is one terrifying set-piece after another, with a fantastically energetic performance by Michael McKean as the Clown. It’s all so scary it’s downright uncomfortable. Thank goodness for Janeway’s last minute insight into what Fear really wants – to be conquered.
One to avoid if you’re scared of: Clowns.
HONOURABLE MENTIONS
The Original Series: season 3, episode 12 ‘The Empath’
A number of Star Trek episodes deal with torture, and we’ve tended to leave them off this list as they’re really more upsetting, disturbing, or tragic than chill-down-your-spine scary. This one is pretty freaky, though.
The Original Series: season 3, episode 7 ‘The Day Of The Dove’
Much of this episode is a fairly standard early Klingons episode, albeit with a mysterious glow cloud (all hail!) floating around and swords appearing out of thin air. But when Sulu tells Kirk that the dead brother Chekov has been talking about all episode long never existed, we realise something stranger is going on.
Voyager: season 4, episode 25 ‘One’
Pretty similar in concept and execution to both ‘Persistence of Vision’ and ‘Doctor’s Orders’ (and coming right between the two). Still a scary concept, though.
Discovery: season 2, episode 12 ‘Through the Valley of Shadows’
Pike’s willing acceptance of his fate – and the fact we know it’s accurate from The Original Series – is heroic, tragic, and chilling all in one.
Picard: season 1, episode 6 ‘The Impossible Box’
Think about what happens at this episode’s climax from Soji’s point of view, as the person she trusts the most reveals that she’s not even human and then tries to kill her, and recoil in horror.
Lower Decks: season 1, episode 1 ‘Second Contact’
As mentioned above, this episode features plenty of classic horror tropes including blood, guts, gore, vomit, zombies and a giant spider. Watch it for some light relief after you’ve worked your way through the rest of the list!
(Dis)-honourable mention: The Next Generation: season 7, episode 14 ‘Sub Rosa’, aka The One Where Bev Boinks A Ghost. It’s too ridiculous to be properly scary, but there is a half-decent ghost story buried in there somewhere.

No More Waiting for the Blooper Reels at the Conventions
Remember to catch "UPN's Funky Flubs" Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT (check your local listings for airtimes). If you saw the promos during Enterprise last week, you know that the network special promises never-before-seen outtakes from several UPN shows including Enterprise, such as Jolene Blalock bursting out in laughter while trying to keep a Vulcan straight face. More information can be found at UPN.com.
Two Visual Effects Award Nominations for Enterprise
"Shockwave, Part I" and "Dead Stop" were honored by the Visual Effects Society with nominations in the organization's first annual awards. The VES Awards honor excellence for visual effects in feature films, television, commercials and music videos. Visual effects producer Dan Curry, supervisor Ronald B. Moore, and coordinator Elizabeth Castro are the individuals listed on the "Shockwave" nomination in the category "Best Visual Effects in a Television Series." (The competition is Dinotopia and Firefly.) The Roxann Dawson-directed "Dead" is competing in the category "Best Models and Miniatures in a Televised Program, Music Video or Commercial," for its depiction of an automated repair station. The individual modelmakers named are John Teska, Koji Kuramura, Pierre Drolet and Sean Scott. (They are going up against the ABC miniseries "Stephen King's Rose Red" and a Gatorade commercial.) The awards ceremony will take place February 19 as a black-tie dinner event at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. More information can be found at the Visual Effects Society Web Site.
McNeill's "Action"
Robert Duncan McNeill, whose face is familiar as "Tom Paris" in Star Trek: Voyager, is primarily keeping busy these days yelling "Action!" to other actors. Be sure to set your VCR for Dawson's Creek this Wednesday, January 15 (because you'll be watching Enterprise on UPN at that time, right?), and then again on January 29 to catch the latest two episodes of the WB drama directed by McNeill (check your local listings for airtimes). According to his official Web site, McNeill will not only helm another Dawson's soon, but he is finalizing a deal with the producers of The Dead Zone (i.e., Michael Piller, et al) for his first directing assignment on the USA/Sci-Fi Network original series, probably to commence in late March or April. Plus, the site is reporting that McNeill will return to Paramount this season to direct his second Enterprise episode. (Keep an eye on STARTREK.COM's Production News for updates.) McNeill previously directed "Cold Front."
For those dying to see McNeill in front of the camera again, they will have their chance on February 4 when "Infested," a low-budget horror flick directed by Josh Olsen, is released on DVD. McNeill plays one of five friends who gather for a "Big Chill"-like reunion that gets interrupted by a mean strain of mutant flies. The DVD is available on Amazon.com, but purchases made through this link will benefit McNeill's designated charities. More about the actor/director's recent activities and appearances can be found at RobertDuncanMcNeill.net.
A Revolutionary Role
Kelsey Grammer one of our favorite 23rd-century cameo stars has jumped back to the 18th century to play the father of our country. Grammer appears in A&E;'s "Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor" as George Washington. The two-hour telepic premieres tonight (Monday) at 8:00 ET/PT on the A&E; network, and will repeat several times in the days ahead. As usual, check your local cable listings for airtimes. As if you needed to be reminded, Grammer was the time-jumping "Captain Morgan Bateson" in Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Cause and Effect."

DVD Review by Paul Schultz
|
Published: July 29, 2005
The first thing about this seven-disc set that grabs your attention is the
packaging. The grey plastic oval container features embossed logos of the
Enterprise and the series title. It opens in the middle to reveal a cobalt
blue "book" covered with a clear plastic sleeve with an Enterprise
logo design and "Season 2" along the "spine" which aligns
with an opening in the case that is visible when placed on a shelf.
Sliding this off you open the "book" to access the discs, one on each
"page". Accessing and replacing discs in this manner is easy and
efficient. Unfortunately, you eventually have to watch the contents of these discs, and that's
when quality issues arise.
|

"I can reach any star..."
This 7-disc set features 26 broadcast episodes
from the second season of this TV series (2002)
The premise of Star Trek Enterprise is that it takes place in the early twenty-second century,
one hundred years before the adventures of Kirk and company in the original Star
Trek series (1966-1969). It purports to depict an era when human
interstellar space flight is just beginning and brave explorers strike out into
the unknown of deep space. You hardly experience the wide-eyed wonder of
discovery by viewing this season full of episodes, however. Instead, you
are greeted with a mish-mash of aliens old and new with plenty of continuity
issues thrown in to anger and confuse any Trek purist. There's nothing
like a good Temporal Cold War involving time travel to really louse up the
timeline, with enough paradoxes to make your head spin. It's best to think
of this series as an "alternate timeline" of the beginnings of
Starfleet. If you take it as a "reimagining", much like the new
Battlestar Galactica series, it will go a long way toward easing your mind about
the violations of Trek canon.
Season-ending cliffhangers have become a staple of the Star Trek franchise, but
beginning a DVD set with the second half of an episode is a bit awkward.
Disc 1 opens with the conclusion of season one's cliffhanger
"Shockwave" and, although there is a brief recap of the first part, I
didn't fully get the gist of the story. The labeling of the first couple
of discs was somewhat confusing as they are numbered in the order they were
shot, but listed in order they aired. Several of the episodes have deleted
scenes attached, none of which don't belong on the cutting room floor.
They are titled by scene number rather than a descriptive name, which leaves its
content a mystery until you actually watch it.
"Starfleet didn't send us out here to humiliate ourselves," Captain
Jonathan Archer announces to babe-a-licious crewmates T'Pol and Sato as they
grease each other's nearly-nude bodies in a decontamination procedure that opens
the episode "A Night in Sickbay." This is a perfect example of
the unwelcome sexual overtones that permeate the series, reducing much of the
action to little more than soap opera. In this same episode, during an
explanation of what happened on a mission to procure needed equipment for
Enterprise, we are treated to low-brow dialogue such as:
To be fair, I'm picking on what is arguably the worst episode of the
season. They're not all that bad, with quality moments to be had in other
episodes. The special effects and set design are topnotch, with stellar
acting performances when the material is worthy. The spark of new
discovery is just not there, and the series feels trapped in making esoteric
references to other elements of Trek lore, and not boldly going where no human
has gone before.
Archer: "T'Pol thinks we insulted them again."
Trip: "How? You didn't eat cabbage before you left."
The audio commentary provided on the episodes "Dead Stop" and
"Regeneration" by co-writers Michael Sussman and Phyllis Strong
provide some helpful behind-the-scenes notes. They put these episodes in
perspective of continuity as well as alluding to future adventures and how some
characters would have acted differently in light of their maturation.
"Regeneration" is a sequel of sorts to the feature film Star Trek:
First Contact, with the Borg introduced centuries before they are
encountered on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Sussman admits in his
commentary that "a lot of people had problems with it."
Optional text commentary pops up on the episodes "Stigma" and
"First Flight." On the latter show, for example, you find out
that "there once was a real tavern called the 602 Club. It was
located in Madison, Wisconsin, near the University of Wisconsin (602 University
Avenue), the alma mater of Enterprise co-creator Rick Berman."
Produced by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda, these commentaries are loaded with
trivia.
The interface of each disc looks like a control panel and tactical display
with each episode accessed individually. Within each episode you are able
to access any commentary or deleted scene that is associated with it, along with
the option to view subtitles. Included in the packaging is a 12-page color
booklet with a plot synopsis for each episode. A page entitled "The
Story So Far" takes a few paragraphs to review events from the first season
leading up to the cliffhanger that concludes to open the second season.
Another section, "Shaping the Future," describes the Borg and their
involvement in human affairs, including their actions during this season.
Finally, there's "Long-Range Scan" which sets up the action for season
three.
Special Features
The last disc is loaded with special features, in addition to the audio and
text commentaries and deleted scenes interspersed among the other discs.
Enterprise Moments: Season Two is an overview of reflections from
producers Rick Berman and Brannon Bragga, and various cast members. The
optional subtitling (which all of the featurettes have) spells out every vocal
stutter and stammer, which gets annoying in a hurry.
Enterprise Profile: Jolene Blalock features an interview with the
extremely hot-looking actress that portray the Vulcan T'Pol. Clocking in
at just over fourteen minutes long, it wasn't nearly long enough for my taste
and I was hoping Ms. Blalock would discuss the weather or perhaps read from a
phone book.
Levar Burton: Star Trek Director discusses this Next Generation
cast member's progression as a director, including this season's "First
Flight."
Enterprise Secrets discusses the recreation of the Klingon penal
colony Rura Penthe from the feature film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered
Country, including the revelation that many of the same extras, clothing,
and dilithium crystals were utilized.
Inside "A Night in Sickbay" goes behind-the-scenes in the making of
this episode.
Outtakes shows a few short flubs during filming that are more
"you-had-to-be-there" moments than actually funny.
Photo Gallery is an endless slideshow of stills from actual episodes
as well as production activity. Devoid of any descriptions, they become
quickly boring if you are not able to place the people or situation.
Borg Invasion Trailer is nothing more than a commercial for the
attraction Borg Invasion 4-D at Star Trek: The Experience located at the Las Vegas Hilton.
