Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted August 2, 2003 The most grewsome scene by far is Remmick's demise in TNG's "Conspiracy". Then again, we have the Borg Queen assembling in ST:FC, VOY "Dark Frontier", and "Unimatriz Zero". Anywho, I think if done properly, it works for a very suspenseful/scarry episode/movie. What do you think? Would you like to see more of the occasional grewsome scene, or would you rather just hear a sound effect and watch the crew react?

Takara_Soong 4 Posted August 2, 2003 (edited) I wouldn't categorize any of those scenes as gruesome. Have you ever watched a horror movie? If you want to see gruesome may I suggest the classic "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" if you want to see gruesome. As for something "gruesome" being in a movie it depends. Sometimes not seeing something can be scarier than seeing it (Jaws is an example where the shark wasn't seen very often but knowing it was there and the music made the scene scary). In Star Trek it would depend on the story and what was being shown. I've never found any scene in Star Trek to be gruesome although there are some that I can't watch (the beginning of FC for example when that pointy thing comes towards Picard's eye *shudder*).

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted August 2, 2003 I consider blood'n guts & people's insides to be grewsome. I still get grossed out when I see the Borg Queen drop into her body. ...but, getting grossed out is fun, as long as they don't get graphic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goose 0 Posted August 2, 2003 Stardate:213586.1 Yeh I would like to see maybe one or two more gruseome scenes in Star Trek if it was written well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thayln 0 Posted August 2, 2003 Oooooo...I really like the scary and intense ones. Click for Spoiler: How about Night Terrors when Beverly is in the temporary morgue and all the bodies sit up? It was so good! I'm so glad that Enterprise made the Borg scary again and I have high hopes for the Expanse. I just love it when they add an X-Files flavor. -------------------------------- Eyes.

Mr.Picard 12 Posted August 2, 2003 I liked the Remmick scene very much because I like all kinds of horror movies... I would also like it if there were more scenes like that but I like Star Trek without them, too. So I would not be upset if more scenes like the exploding head/body of Remmick were produced.

Yillara Skye 1 Posted August 3, 2003 Trek has never really been gruesome to me, even the scenes with Remmick or even the scenes in the First Contact(movie, I know but Trek nonetheless) where the crewmembers were being fitted with Borg inplants....creepy but not gruesome, IMO. Texas Chainsaw, that could be gruesome...other horror/slasher films yes, but Trek was never high in the blood and guts department(which is fine by me) And believe me, I have seen numerous horror films....(which usually dont creep me out too much, with the exception of Event Horizon) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Kirk 1 Posted August 3, 2003 Gruesome scenes don't bother me as long as it's not excessive and ia used for a legitimate reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NordicBearskin 0 Posted August 3, 2003 As long as they don't add unnecessary gore then I would be fine if they added gruesome scenes. However, for me Trek has never needed gore and I'm actualy kinda glad they have hardly used any gruesome scenes at all. So instead of Star Trek relying on graphicaly showing how gruesome or terrible something is, the actors in Trek have to show when and how something is 'gruesome' by their acting. Which means that Star trek gets top quaity actors and doesn't go for the cheapest available and patch up the cracks with speacil effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted August 3, 2003 After Seeing Horror Films(The Evil Dead, The Friday Movies,etc, etc, Trek Doesn't Gross Me Out At All Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted August 3, 2003 I refuse to watch horror movies as I see a slasher/monster movie where everyone dies to be... unpleasent. Na, I'll take something with substance. Perhaps that's why Trek can gross me out at times, heh. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted August 3, 2003 Well, some Horror Movies are more than Just Slasher Movies and Bruce Campbell Alone Make The Evil Dead Movies worth it, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roguedawg 0 Posted August 3, 2003 I'd love more gruesome scenes.How about a movie pitting Aliens (without Ellen Ripley) against the Star Trek:TNG or DS9 crews?Can you imagine Chief O'Brien crawling through access tunnels on DS9,phaser in hand,searching for Aliens?Or crewmembers aboard the Enterprise-E being hunted aboard their own ship?I'd love to see this film or read the book.

Mr.Picard 12 Posted August 3, 2003 Oooooh I love this idea!!! The ALIEN movies are my fave non-trek movies and I would LOVE to see the TNG crew against the evil ALIENS... It must be great to see... I imagine such a huge ALIEN queen on the ENT-E bridge staring at a desperate TNG crew... AMAZING!!! Mrs. Captain Picard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emojams 0 Posted August 5, 2003 i like the scene in first contact where the borg queens body parts desolve when she is pulled into the plasma gas by data ,fasinating.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Bolivar 0 Posted August 5, 2003 I feel that Shinzons death was gruesome. Not it a gory kind of way, but it an chilling sense when he pulls himself along the object that is impaling him. As for the grusome, I like a little in Star Trek... but not too much. Too much of a good thing is never a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syperphobia 0 Posted August 7, 2003 I wish they had more bloody and gruesome scenes in ST, why PG it? For example: the Klingons are suppose to be this ultimate warrior, CRAP, i havent seen them slash anyones head with that thing they got, all u hear is a slash of the sword. Not even a blood splatter. :) Bel Ami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted August 7, 2003 Well, we don't want them to have to say "Viewer discression is advised. :) Let's not go as far as people getting chopped up on screen. I'm not talking "blood'n guts", something more like when we see the Borg Queen getting assembled. Stuff that makes ya wig out without being extreme, know what I mean?

roguedawg 0 Posted August 8, 2003 Okay,I read in Star Trek The Magazine,that the Borg were originally intended to look like zombies.So why not let Tom Savini or Sam Raimi come up with some Borg fx,then let George Romero direct an episode or a film featuring the Borg.That would be killah! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
