Troi isn't too bad. She's passable if not exactly that appealing.

It was just Q trying to prove his omnipotence. :D I mean if he could get it up with Janeway he has to have some serious power.

For me it was the scene in Nemesis where Riker and Troi were going at it, before Riker was replaced with Shinzon and his Viceroy. Dear gods, that was the most horrifying thing ever! :shock: :oops: :cry:

Any season premiere for Voyager or Enterprise episodes.... One more year of hack writing, shitty dialogue and great tits with 0 personality (although Jolene Blalock the person has many interesting qualities)

Any alien infestation scared me.. I'm not talking the spiritual "possessions" but the other infestations:

Checkov and Captain what's-his-name in Wrath of Khan (even if it looked fake, it scares one as a little kid!).

and that episode where Picard uncovers the conspiracy involving all those captains and that admiral (and the guy they blow up and he's full of bugs).

Creepy...!


Other than that, I was never scared, even as a kid. The rubber suits and crappy CGI just wasn't convincing enough to be scary. But something about seeing wriggling crawlers under somebody's skin and a bug-like creature going into a body orifice just makes me cringe, even today.

The one that really scared me, the one where Data has dreams about the miners, just seeing a bunch of people eating Troi like a birthday cake scared the crap out of me, Let's just say I hid in my room afraid that miners were going to come and kill me. Those things were scary.

The parasites in TWOK also creeped me out, still does too.

the parasites in "Conspiracy" was terrifying, those things just took over people(I thought the episode ended with Earth being conquered, and the Enterprise had to run away. I know better now.)

Personally I liked the Devil in the Dark.

Especially when they fired thier standard phasors Type I (The little car remotes), at full blast and it did NOTHING, and the thing could sneak up and leave acid charred Hiroshima Lovers of the Red shirts.

Scary Trek

Of Trek on TV, the TNG two-parter in which Picard was captured and turned into Locutus (sp?) had a good moment for me. It was when the Enterprise party beamed over to the Borg cube in their first attempt to find Picard--all the foreground Borg moved aside and Picard slowly turned and you saw he'd been Borged. Shelby gasped and so did I, the first time I saw it. It was a chilling sight.

The TNG episode in which Q forcefully first introduced the Enterprise gang to the Borg had a somewhat similar moment of creepiness. There, it was when the Borg first blithely beamed over into the engineering section and started downloading computer files, while Picard and a couple of others watched in disbelief. The Borg downloading finally sort of deigned to look at Picard, and that glance was so cold, so machine-evil...it still works for me today. Of course, that was back when the Borg were still largely unknown and good villains!

An icky moment in TNG was when Troi was lazing in bed, getting her foot rubbed by that greasy-looking guy. It just totally grossed me out for some reason.

Not to mention Beverly (?) sucking blood from Riker's ear through a straw.

Ugh!

Incidentally, the "cake" incident was featured in a Tom Petty video in the 80's (not sure who copied off of whom there). The whole video ("Don't come around here no more" good song btw) had an "Alice in Wonderland" theme to it, so Petty is the Mad Hatter and his party guests eating Alice (her body is a cake and her legs, arms and head are still real and squirming around). ; )

That woulda been surreal..
