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.
Just once I would have loved for them to inverse the dynamic and the rando redshirt is the only one to make it back and we spend the whole episode with them trying to reset it and saving everyone.
Yeah, and then they die, sacrificing themselves to bring back the rest of the crew, thus showing the futility of not being main cast.
I like that even better
Well I like your username!
What? Your Mom buy you a 'puter for Christmas?
She did! And it’s insanely great, it’s got a 28.8bps modem!
