Voyager variant of a classic:

VOY s7e9 “Flesh and Blood”

Admittedly, Ensign Ricky’s fate isn’t shown on screen. However, after Paris beams out with the lone Hirogen survivor, Seven shuts down the simulation which leaves her, Chakotay, Tuvok, and stray bodies… no Ricky.

Didn’t even give him the courtesy of a glorious death.

    Kinda like in recent Trek series where, when an episode begins with a day in the limelight of a non-main character, it’s basically their eulogy.

    • DIS: Lt. Miriam Airiam. Stupid autocorrect.
    • SNW: Ensign Gamble

      At least with SNW, he was a new character. DISCO dropped the ball (I know, I know, into the buffer) at any attempts to flesh out characters beyond the core 5 or so. Sudden backstory is always a death sentence.
