Nichelle Nichols, Lt. Uhura on 'Star Trek,' dies at 89

Nichelle Nichols made history for her role as communications officer Lt. Uhura on Star Trek.

Actress and singer Nichelle Nichols, best known as Star Trek 's communications officer Lieutenant Uhura, died Saturday night in Silver City, New Mexico. She was 89 years old.

"I regret to inform you that a great light in the firmament no longer shines for us as it has for so many years," her son Kyle Johnson wrote on the website Uhura.com . "Her light, however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration."

Nichols was one of the first Black women featured in a major television series, and her role as Lt. Nyota Uhura on the original TV series was groundbreaking: an African American woman whose name came from Uhuru, the Swahili word for "freedom."

"Here I was projecting in the 23rd century what should have been quite simple," Nichols told NPR in 2011 . "We're on a starship. I was head communications officer. Fourth in command on a starship. They didn't see this as being, oh, it doesn't happen til the 23rd century. Young people and adults saw it as now."

In 1968, Nichols made headlines when Uhura shared an intimate kiss with Captain James T. Kirk (played by William Shatner) in an episode called "Plato's Stepchildren." Their interracial kiss on the lips was revolutionary, one of the first such moments on TV.

Nichelle Nichols shared one of the first interracial kisses in TV history with William Shatner.

Nichols was born Grace Dell Nichols in a Chicago suburb where her father was the mayor. She grew up singing and dancing, aspiring to star in musical theater. She got her first break in the 1961 musical Kicks and Co ., a thinly veiled satire of Playboy magazine. She was the star of the Chicago stock company production of Carmen Jones, and in New York performed in Porgy and Bess .

'To me, the highlight and the epitome of my life as a singer and actor and a dancer/choreographer was to star on Broadway," she told NPR in 2011, adding that as her popularity on Star Trek grew, she was beginning to get other offers. "I decided I was going to leave, go to New York and make my way on the Broadway stage."

Nichols said she went to Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek , and announced she was quitting. "He was very upset about it. And he said, take the weekend and think about what I am trying to achieve here in this show. You're an integral part and very important to it."

The Two-Way

For mlk day: 'lt. uhura' on how rev. king told her to stay on 'star trek'.

So that weekend, she went to an NAACP fundraiser in Beverly Hills and was asked to meet a man who said he was her number one fan: Martin Luther King, Jr.

"He complimented me on the manner in which I'd created the character. I thanked him, and I think I said something like, 'Dr. King, I wish I could be out there marching with you.' He said, 'no, no, no. No, you don't understand. We don't need you ... to march. You are marching. You are reflecting what we are fighting for.' So, I said to him, 'thank you so much. And I'm going to miss my co-stars.'"

"His face got very, very serious," she recalled. "And he said, 'what are you talking about?' And I said, 'well, I told Gene just yesterday that I'm going to leave the show after the first year because I've been offered... And he stopped me and said: 'You cannot do that.' I was stunned. He said, 'don't you understand what this man has achieved? For the first time, we are being seen the world over as we should be seen. He says, do you understand that this is the only show that my wife Coretta and I will allow our little children to stay up and watch.' I was speechless."

Nichols returned to the series, which lasted until 1969. She also reprised her famous role in six subsequent feature films, including Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan , where Uhura was promoted to commander .

Much More Than A 5-Year Mission: 'Star Trek' Turns 50

For years, Nichols also helped diversify the real-life space program, helping to recruit astronauts Sally Ride, Judith Resnik, Guion Bluford, and others. And she had her own science foundation, Women in Motion .

"Many actors become stars, but few stars can move a nation," tweeted actress Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman on TV in the 1970s. "Nichelle Nichols showed us the extraordinary power of Black women and paved the way for a better future for all women in media. Thank you, Nichelle. We will miss you."

George Takei, who costarred on Star Trek as helmsman Hikaru Sulu tweeted: "I shall have more to say about the trailblazing, incomparable Nichelle Nichols, who shared the bridge with us as Lt. Uhura of the USS Enterprise," her wrote. "For today, my heart is heavy, my eyes shining like the stars you now rest among, my dearest friend."

He also posted a photo of his longtime friend, both of them flashing the Vulcan greeting, and these words: "We lived long and prospered together."

Kenneth Mitchell, Known for ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Captain Marvel’ Roles, Dies at 49

Mr. Mitchell, a Canadian actor who appeared on “Star Trek: Discovery,” had A.L.S.

Reporting from Los Angeles

Kenneth Mitchell, a Canadian actor known for his roles on the series “Star Trek: Discovery” and the film “Captain Marvel,” died on Saturday. He was 49.

He had lived with the neurological disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or A.L.S., which causes paralysis and death, for more than five years, according to a statement from Mr. Mitchell’s family posted to his social media.

In “Captain Marvel,” he played the father of the superhero, Carol Danvers. He was also known for portraying Eric Green on the series “Jericho,” Joshua Dodd in the series “Nancy Drew,” a hockey player in the film “Miracle,” and appeared in several other film and television series.

Mr. Mitchell played the Klingons Kol, Kol-Sha and Tenavik, as well as Aurellio, on “Star Trek: Discovery,” and voiced several characters in an episode of “Star Trek: Lower Decks.”

In a 2017 interview with StarTrek.com , he said he hoped to make viewers think differently about Klingons, the humanoid warriors whose role in the Star Trek universe has shifted over decades.

“Whether someone is good or bad is all about perspective, and it’s about understanding that culture,” he told StarTrek.com in 2017. “You’ll get to know the Klingons on our show, and then people can decide if we really are the villains.”

Mr. Mitchell lived with his wife, the actress Susan May Pratt, and their children in Los Angeles. He was born on Nov. 25, 1974, in Toronto to Diane and David Mitchell.

In 2018, Mr. Mitchell was diagnosed with A.L.S., according to a statement posted to his social media in August. He revealed his diagnosis in an interview with People Magazine in 2020, saying that from the moment he found out, it was “like I was watching that scene where someone is being told that they have a terminal illness.” He added, “It was just a complete disbelief, a shock.”

Mr. Mitchell said he focused on spending more time with his family and rejected a lead role in a television series that required moving back to Canada. The makers of the series “Nancy Drew” also accommodated for his illness, he told People, using a stunt double when needed. Other roles were created for him that allowed him to be seated, he added.

“This disease is absolutely horrific,” Mr. Mitchell said in the post last year, which accompanied a photo of him watching the sunset from a wheelchair on the beach. “Yet despite all the suffering, there is so much to be grateful for,” he added.

Mr. Mitchell is survived by his wife, their children Lilah and Kallum, his parents and other family members, according to the family statement.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actor René Auberjonois dies at 79

Fellow actors George Takei, William Shatner and more pay tribute online to the actor who played Changeling Odo.

Actor René Auberjonois played lawyer Paul Lewiston in the TV drama Boston Legal.

Prolific actor René Auberjonois , best known for his role as shape-shifter Changeling Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , has died at the age of 79.

The actor died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles of metastatic lung cancer, his son son Rèmy-Luc confirmed to the Associated Press.

Auberjonois also appeared as the character Paul Lewiston in 71 episodes of the TV drama Boston Legal . He is also known for his roles in Benson , The Practice (which earned him an Emmy nod), Stargate SG-1 , Warehouse 13 , Star Trek: Enterprise , Frasier , It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia , Murder, She Wrote , and The Jeffersons , to name a few.

Auberjonois has starred in numerous films such as director Robert Altman's M.A.S.H. in which he played Father Mulcahy. He appeared in other Altman movies such as McCabe and Mrs. Miller , Brewster McCloud , and Images. Auberjonois also appeared in the 1976 King Kong movie, The Patriot, Batman Forever , and Eyes of Laura Mars .

René Auberjonois as Odo with the rest of the cast of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

He is also known for his voice acting roles including 1989's The Little Mermaid , were he plays Chef Louis and sings the song "Les Poissons."

Auberjonois' character Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was often treated as an outside by other characters, which in turn made Odo rather gruff and persnickety at time. His character was hilariously sarcastic, but he also could show a certain sensitivity that only outsiders can fully understand. He was one of my favorite Star Trek characters.

His Deep Space Nine co-star Armin Shimerman who played Quark tweeted on Sunday a favorite memory of the actor.

"His last message to me was entitled 'Don't forget…'," Shimerman tweeted. "I know that I, Kitty and all that knew him will never forget. The world seems noticeably emptier now. I loved him."

It is with great heartache and loss I share with you the passing of dear,dear Rene Auberjonois.His last message to me was entitled "Don't forget..." I know that I,Kitty,and all that knew him will never forget.The world seems noticeably emptier now. I loved him. — Armin Shimerman (@ShimermanArmin) December 8, 2019

Star Trek actor George Takei also tweeted his condolences.

"This is a terrible loss," Takei tweeted. "Star Trek fans knew him as Odo from Deep Space Nine. We knew him as René. He was a wonderful, caring, and intelligent man. He shall be missed. When I look out to the stars, I shall think of you, friend."

His Boston Legal co-star and fellow Star Trek actor William Shatner also tweeted his thoughts about Auberjonois.

"I have just heard about the death of my friend and fellow actor Rene Auberjonois," Shatner wrote. "To sum up his life in a tweet is nearly impossible. To Judith, Tessa & Remy I send you my love & strength. I will keep you in my thoughts and remember a wonderful friendship with René."

Star Trek Characters Die in the Transporter All the Time. Why Are They Okay With It?

Star Trek's transporters are convenient but deadly, suggesting something surprising about the franchise's take on the human soul.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Transporter Room

“Beam me up, Scotty” is a quote as iconic as Star Trek ‘s once-magical automatic doors ― even if Captain Kirk didn’t actually say it. While Star Trek wasn’t the first sci-fi creation to teleport its characters around, its pleasingly sparkly transport scenes quickly captured fans’ imaginations. However, what is beamed up isn’t necessarily what is beamed down.

Simply put, Star Trek transporters, if they were real, would kill their users along the way . No matter the technicalities over moving versus duplicating the bits that make up a Trek crewman, you cannot blast a person into atoms without ending their brain functions and destroying them. You just can’t. Try it (don’t try it). So depending on how lazy a character is, a commute from a starship bridge to the bathroom could be the last thing they ever do.

It’s something that’s fascinated and vexed overthinkers in the fandom through the decades, with YouTuber CGP Grey among those warning of the “real” nature of starships’ transporters (and validating The Next Generation ’s Reg Barclay’s fear of them).

Despite this, it’s mostly unremarked upon in the show ― even when Captain Picard, in The Next Generation episode “Lonely Among Us,” basically dies in space, with the transporter used to make him a new body for his untethered “energy” to enter. “What the devil am I doing here?” he asks when he reappears. He’s clearly not quite the same man.

Ad – content continues below

Picard’s crew might not care who exactly it is that they’ve beamed back to the Enterprise. But the bait-and-switch of the transporter haunts pop culture consciousness, just as countless versions of crewmen might haunt their starships. One example is China Mieville’s fantasy novel Kraken , in which a Trekkie uses magic to make a transporter, only to end up stalked by dozens of iterations of his own ghost. Author Jason Pargin, too, muses over the horrific implications of transportation in This Book is Full of Spiders .

Mieville and Pargin appear to imply that Star Trek characters don’t know transportation kills them. But Trek ‘s crewmen have scientific training and live in a world that encourages philosophical thinking. If Kirk, Picard, and co. all know that transporters are deadly, why are they happy to use them?

You could argue that we all need a sense of being whole and individual beings, experiencing life as one unbroken continuity, for the world to function. For Star Trek characters to live as they do, lives made infinitely easier by utopian tech, perhaps ignoring their many deaths is a bargain that has to be made.

This would make a starship crewman a kind of cloned pretender. That angle has certainly cropped up in episodes over the decades. In The Original Series episode “The Enemy Within,” a transporter accident creates two Captain Kirks (one comically evil, of course ― though unlike Evil Spock he regrettably doesn’t sport a goatee). Both are different men from the original Kirk, so at the end he is not so much brought back as made whole again. And the fact that the transporter can create two Will Rikers from one in TNG episode “Second Chances” also shows some kind of replication is at play.

Another take would be that Star Trek characters aren’t invested in an illusion at all, but are actually pretending less than we are. Freed from constraints of space and time by starships, freed from the production and ownership of objects by replicators, the next thing to go is the permanent self.

Psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan wrote that when a human first recognizes their reflection as their self, they enter an imaginary world mediated by language. This abstraction or layer of removal from the self might be how you live if you’re just one in a long line of yous. Philosopher Jean Baudrillard took the idea of reality as a kind of shared dream further, arguing we live in “hyper-reality,” a set of representations more real than the now-dead aspects of the world they reference. Are starship crewmen hyper-real people? Made anew, carrying more thoughts and experiences than the first version of themselves to die?

Perhaps they have decided to ditch the whole game of pretending humans consist of a structurally sound self that remains one thing. After all, our cells are always renewing, our neurons changing. Consciousness is just one of many functions our brains undertake, and we can experience breaks in it, like the breaks transporters would cause. We are not even each one body, with so much of our mass made up of micro-organisms which have no clue that the city they are part of is a sentient being.

This angle would mean Star Trek characters are living in the aftermath of a huge historical and psychological rupture caused by transport tech. They have a whole different view of what it is to be a person. To them, living a life includes many endings and beginnings, via a multitude of consciousnesses.

A case in point: in Voyager episode “Tuvix,” another transporter accident happens. This time, instead of creating two people, it makes a hybrid of Tuvok and Neelix, with an unsettling combination of Vulcan eyebrows and already-nightmarish Talaxian sideburns. After some conflict over ethics, Tuvix is eventually sacrificed .

Tuvix is his own person, and Tuvok and Neelix have died by at least some definitions when they merged to create him. But for Voyager ‘s Captain Janeway, Tuvix’s death is seen as necessary so that Tuvok and Neelix’s consciousnesses can continue where they left off. Plus, when the pair of men return, Janeway sees them as the real deal. “It’s good to have you back,” she tells them.

Star Trek characters’ selves, then, are based on carrying memories and a personality, passing it from one body to another, rather than possessing an unbroken consciousness. So what if traveling from point A to point B means a person being consigned to the void, no thoughts assailing them ever again? Their journey through time and space continues anyway, like a relay race. Each body, in Star Trek , is a tiny part of the story of a person. They get to live for a day or a week while building the ambitions that the next them will take forward, and experiencing the memories and personality of their countless ghosts.

Alan Scarfe death: Star Trek and Double Impact actor dies aged 77

Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Alan Scarfe, the actor best known for his work in Seven Days and Double Impact , has died aged 77.

His family announced that the British-Canadian actor died from colon cancer at his home in Longueuil, Quebec, on 28 April.

Scarfe is survived by a son, the actor Jonathan Scarfe who is known for his roles in Van Helsing , Raising the Bar and The 100 , a daughter Tosia, who is a musician and composer, and a brother named Colin.

Born in England and raised in Vancouver, Scarfe studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art from 1964 to 1966, in line with his desire to become a classical stage actor. He travelled all over Europe, the United States and Canada and performed more than 100 roles over the next two decades.

He also served as associate director of the Everyman Theatre in Liverpool from 1967 to 68. “I wanted to be a great classical actor in the long tradition of Burbage, Garrick, Kean, Booth, Olivier,” he said in an August 2007 interview .

“Forty five years ago when I began it was still possible to think in such a romantic, idealistic way.”

Scarfe’s time as stage actor included eight seasons at the Stratford Festival and two at the Shaw Festival, both in Ontario, where he performed a lot of Shakespeare, playing Macduff on Broadway in 1988 in a production of Macbeth with Christopher Plummer and Glenda Jackson.

He started his film career with roles in The Bay Boy (1984), Deserters (1984), Overnight (1986), Street Justice (1987), Iron Eagle II (1988), Aka Albert Walker (2003), and The Hamster Cage (2005).

He gained popularity with his science fiction roles, including Dr Bradley Talmadge from the National Security Agency in Seven Days , as well as for his guest roles as Romulans Tokath and Admiral Mendak on Star Trek in the 1990s .

Scarfe made several appearances at Star Trek conventions, endearing himself to fans, and spoke about his training coming in handy when playing sci-fi roles.

“Science fiction on film and television, especially if you are playing some kind of alien character with fantastic make-up, is great for actors with a strong stage background,” he said.

“The productions need that kind of size and intensity of performance. You can’t really mumble if you’re a Klingon.”

Scarfe also played the villain Nigel Griffith in the action film Double Impact in 1991 opposite twins Alex and Chad Wagner, portrayed by Jean-Claude Van Damme.

He then played the Internal Affairs chief Herman Walters in Lethal Weapon III in 1992.

In 1985, Scarfe won a Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for playing Sergeant Tom Coldwell in The Bay Boy .

In addition to his acting career, Scarfe was a published author, writing under the pen name Clanash Farjeon.

His first novel, The Revelation of Jack the Ripper , was published in 2017 and was followed by The Vampires of Juarez , The Demons of 9/11 , and The Mask of the Holy Spirit .

Star Trek: Unluckiest Characters

Star trek: deep space 9 characters who appear on other series, star trek: scariest alien races, ranked.

Characters like Dahj Asha and the Crew of the USS Europa were introduced in the Star Trek series premieres only to be killed off, setting the tone for the series.
The death of Captain Philippa Georgiou in the pilot episode of Discovery signaled that this was no ordinary Star Trek series, and her loss set the entire series in motion.
In the original series, characters like Lt. Mitchell and Dr. Dehner met tragic fates in the premiere episode, showcasing the high stakes and sacrifices that would define the show.

Since 1966, there have been eight live-action and three animated Star Trek series. These eleven series have introduced an array of characters in their series premieres. While many of these characters have become old friends that fans invited into their homes each week, some were only there for one episode.

Some people have all the luck. And then there are these characters from Star Trek, who seem to have none of it.

Sometimes Star Trek introduces a character in the premiere episode of a series to kill it off. Some of these characters have profound impacts on the series going forward and others are just there to drive that first plot. Still, these characters showed up only to die in episode one.

7 Dahj Asha - Picard

Dahj Asha's death is what brought a disillusioned Jean-Luc Picard back to saving the galaxy. In the series premiere of Picard , Asha is murdered by Romulan operatives. It was soon revealed that Asha was one of a pair of twin synthetic androids built from a neuron recovered from Commander Data.

Much of season one of Picard focuses on Picard's efforts to save Asha's twin sister Dr. Soji Asha from a similar fate. While her death played a major role in getting the series rolling, Asha and her sister had little to do with anything beyond the first season, even if the actress appeared in season two.

6 The Crew Of The USS Europa - Discovery

Star Trek returned to episodic television when Discovery helped launch the CBS All Access service that's now called Paramount Plus, and it started with a bang. In the second part of the series premiere, Admiral Brett Anderson and his crew were investigating the possibility of an attack by the Klingon Empire when that attack came to fruition.

The crew of Deep Space 9 has made plenty of crossovers into other shows in the Star Trek universe.

Admiral Anderson and the entire Europa crew were killed when the Klingons rammed into their ship, destroying it and everyone on board. This was only the beginning of the destruction of the series premiere.

5 Captain Philippa Georgiou - Discovery

The destruction of the USS Europa may have begun the bloodshed on Discovery , it was the death of Captain Philippa Georgiou that sealed this was no ordinary Star Trek series. Never before had a Star Trek series introduced the captain of a ship and then killed off the captain in the pilot episode.

Captain Georgiou served as a mentor to Michael Burnham until Burnham mutinied to save Georgiou and prove the Klingons were about to attack. Burnham failed to save Georgiou or the original ship, but these actions set the entire series in motion. Meanwhile, actress Michelle Yeoh returned to play the Mirror Universe version of Georgiou in the first three seasons of the series.

4 Suliban - Enterprise

In the early 2000s, Star Trek launched its prequel series , Enterprise , with an unusual premise, a Klingon being hunted by aliens viewers had not seen prior. These aliens, known as the Suliban, were killed by the Klingon they were pursuing before that Klingon was injured, and the first-ever Enterprise crew had to return the Klingon to Kronos.

This set the series off in a different direction as the Enterprise only traveled at a maximum speed of Warp 5. Plus the Suliban launched a temporal Cold War storyline that ran throughout the majority of the series. But these original three Suliban were the sacrificial lambs for Enterprise .

3 Jennifer Sisko - Deep Space Nine

While she died three years before the events of the premiere episode of Deep Space Nine , she was still introduced and killed off in the first episode. The opening moments of the premiere highlighted a flashback to the Borg attack that killed her and how her husband, Captain Benjamin Sisko, blamed Captain Jean-Luc Picard for her death.

For a character that only spent a few minutes on screen, she left a lasting presence over the first few seasons of the series. Much of the early seasons focused on Ben Sisko and their son, Jake, still reeling from the loss of Ben's wife and Jake's mother.

2 Lt. Mitchell & Dr. Dehner - The Original Series

Star Trek: The Original Series has an odd situation where it technically has two series premieres. In the intended premiere episode entitled "Where No Man Has Gone Before," strange energies from a galactic barrier led to major changes for helmsman, Lt. Gary Mitchell and psychiatrist, Dr. Elizabeth Dehner.

Over the centuries, Starfleet has met with a variety of hostile, terrifying alien species.

Dr. Dehner managed to recognize the situation and sacrificed her own life to allow Captain James Kirk to pursue Lt. Mitchell. In the end, Kirk is forced to kill Mitchell, who had been a longtime friend before the events of the series, under a pile of rocks to save the rest of his crew.

1 The Salt Vampire's Victims - The Original Series

"Where No Man Has Gone Before" may have been intended to be the first episode, but due to delays, "The Man Trap" was actually the first episode of Star Trek ever shown. In the episode, a salt vampire takes the visage of a woman named Nancy who kills people by draining the salt from their bodies.

At least three members of the Enterprise crew, along with Nancy's husband, Professor Robert Crater, were all killed by the monster. In the end, the vampire targeted Dr. McCoy who managed to stop and kill her.

Watching the fifth and final season of “ Star Trek: Discovery ” has been an exercise in the uncanny. Paramount+ didn’t announce that the show was ending until after the Season 5 finale had wrapped filming — no one involved with the show knew it would be its concluding voyage when they were making it. And yet, the season has unfolded with a pervasive feeling of culmination.

Why Patrick Stewart had the way Captain Picard's brother died in Star Trek: Generations changed

S tar Trek: Generations opened with both a triumph and a tragedy for the crew of the Enterprise as Worf is promoted to lieutenant commander and Captain Picard learns that his brother and nephew have died in a fire. It's not until later that he has the conversation with Counselor Troi that reveals the true depth of his pain with the realization the Picard family line would not continue. And he was the one who'd asked for such a horrible fate to befall his character's family.

Recorded in The Fifty-Year Mission The Next 25 Years From The Next Generation to J.J. Abrams, Ronald D. Moore said that originally they [Rick Berman, Brannon Braga, and Moore] had written that Robert Picard had died of a heart attack in his vineyard. The scene were Picard learns about his brother's death was poignantly painful as he realizes that he could battle the biggest foes in the galaxy, but death was the enemy he couldn't fight.

I can fight off the Klingons, and I can do this and that, but there is one enemy out there waiting for me that's going to get me eventually. It gets everybody, no matter what kind of job they have.Unused line for Captain PIcard

Stewart had his own idea about how the death of both his brother and his nephew would impact him when he realized not only had he lost them both, but the Picard family line ended with him. So wanted a "tragic, horrible death."

And it should be a tragic, horrible death. If the captain is going to react in a way he's never reacted before, this one better really hit him between the eyes. You know, burn him to death.Patrick Stewart

And the scene where Picard broke down was emotionally impactful and one of the best of Star Trek: Generations. In a film that included the unwelcome and decidedly unheroic death of Captain Kirk, we get this beautiful piece of acting by both Patrick Stewart and Marina Sirtis. It ties in wonderfully with Star Trek: Picard when Picard learns that he has a son as all of us remembered how devastated there would never be another Picard. Even though Jack Crusher didn't go by the Picard family name, he was still a part of the familial line, and who knows? One day, he might even add his father's last name to his own.

The Star Trek Character With The Highest Kill Count

Take a quick glance, and "Star Trek" may seem like a relatively peaceful franchise with heroes who often make a point of at least trying to defuse dangerous situations with diplomacy. However, the intention to keep things civil doesn't always mean things stay that way. Several "Star Trek" characters have amassed an astonishingly large kill count over the course of the franchise, and one particular seemingly unassuming figure is the deadliest of them all.

According to the "Star Trek" fandom wiki , this extremely dubious honor goes to Kevin Uxbridge (John Anderson), an elderly human botanist whom viewers meet in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Season 3, Episode 3, "The Survivors." Kevin is directly responsible for the deaths of no less than 50 billion sentient beings. In fact, he ends the entire Husnock civilization with a single angry thought.

As this implies, there's more to Kevin than meets the eye. The crew of the USS Enterprise-D meets him and his wife, Rishon (Anne Haney), on Rana IV, living in their cozy home amidst the otherwise completely wrecked planet. The Enterprise crew eventually finds out that Kevin is secretly a hugely powerful pacifist being known as a Douwd. Long before the events of the episode, he took human form, married Rishon, and eventually moved to Rana IV before the Husnock attacked. After his non-violent illusions and deceptions failed to deter the invaders and they killed everyone else on the planet — including Rishon — he became furious and killed every Husnock in existence. After remaking Rishon, he continues to live on the destroyed planet with his secret guilt and shame.

Kevin Uxbridge isn't the only Star Trek character with blood on his hands

While no other "Star Trek" character can touch Kevin Uxbridge on this front, he's not the only entity in the franchise with plenty of blood on his hands. Despite his dangerous nature, Kevin isn't a villain in the strictest sense of the term — if only because his crime is so complex and massive that Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) essentially backs away from the situation, leaves Kevin to his own devices, and records a log that advises the listener to do the same.

Since the tragic, disgraced Douwd is on a level of his own, this leaves Eric Bana's Nero as the most dangerous "Star Trek" villain . Not only does the Romulan antagonist in J.J. Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" movie create an entire new "Star Trek" Kelvin timeline , but because he destroys the planet Vulcan, his kill count is around six billion victims.

Another antagonistic character whose kill count is in the billions is the intelligent and omnicidal space probe Nomad MK-15c, which kills four billion Malurians before "Star Trek" Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew manage to stop it in the original show's Season 2, Episode 3, "The Changeling."

Erich Anderson, 'Friday the 13th' and 'Felicity' actor, dies after cancer battle

Erich Anderson , an actor who starred in "Felicity," "Friday the 13th" and more, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 67.

His wife, actress Saxon Trainor, confirmed his death in an Instagram post over the weekend, sharing a statement from Anderson's brother-in-law Michael O'Malley because she was "too bereft now to write anything."

"My brother-in-law Erich Anderson passed this morning after a brutal struggle with cancer. He had a long successful career as an actor—he was on that old show 30 something; he was Felicity’s father on 'Felicity,' he was killed in a basement in a 'Friday the 13th' movie: he was on 'Star Trek' and dozens of other shows," the Instagram post read.

It's 'Friday the 13th!' Celebrate with the iconic and never-ending slasher franchise.

Anderson, who played Rob Dier in the "Friday the 13th" franchise's fourth installment, starred in "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" with Corey Feldman in 1984. He also wrote three books: "Hallowed Be Thy Name," "Thy Kingdom Come" and most recently "Rabbit: A Golf Fable." Anderson also portrayed Keri Russell's on-screen dad in the J.J. Abrams romantic drama series "Felicity," which followed the post-high school journey of its title character played by Russell.

"He was a smart and funny guy, a fantastic cook; he wrote three great novels which you can find on Amazon. I'll miss him but his ordeal is over," O'Malley continued.

Last November, Trainor posted an Instagram photo on the pair's 20th wedding anniversary, writing "20 years and we are still laughing" with a photo from their wedding day.

In a statement to USA TODAY, Anderson's manager Chris Carbaugh shared O'Malley and Trainor's sentiments.

"He was always the smartest and funniest person in the room and had such a big heart. I want to send love and prayers to his wife Saxon and family. Erich will be missed dearly," Carbaugh said.

His "Felicity" co-star Eve Gordon penned an Instagram caption paying tribute to Anderson, who she called "a magnificent part of the world" adding that "there was no one like him."

"Look at this Erich, I'm using the past tense. My friend, I hope I see you again in dreams and other dimensions. Fly high my friend," Gordon wrote.

15 Best The Walking Dead Episodes Across All 7 Shows

What happens to eloise in the bridgerton books & how the show is different, you aren't ready for benedict's love story in bridgerton.

Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: World Beyond left open storylines for characters to potentially return in future spinoffs.
Characters like Alicia, Silas, and Hope have the potential to reappear in the expanding Walking Dead universe thanks to their connections and unresolved arcs.
The established characters, like Victor Strand, Luciana, and June, could have a purpose in new shows with the opportunity for redemption and growth.

The Walking Dead universe is filled with excellent characters, but many of the most popular originated in the various franchise spinoffs. Thankfully, Fear the Walking Dead 's ending left many characters' storylines relatively open in case the opportunity to move between The Walking Dead 's spinoffs pops up. The same can be said for The Walking Dead: World Beyond 's ending , but the big shocker is that the teenage-focused offshoot didn't tie more heavily into The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live because it was a predecessor to many of the CRM-heavy plots.

The Walking Dead universe has thriving settlements just waiting for more faces, but it depends on whether the plot works for the characters. Thanks to people like Morgan and Jadis moving between shows, the franchise created a connective tissue that will allow many familiar faces to appear, whether that's in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, The Walking Dead: Dead City , or whatever new projects come along. There is always the possibility the main show could return, but for any future shows in the franchise, there are many established characters that would be exciting to see return.

10 Alicia Clark (Alycia Debnam-Carey)

Fear the walking dead, fear the walking dead.

*Availability in US

Not available

Alicia Clark was one of the main characters in Fear the Walking Dead . The series started with her family trying to escape Los Angeles during the early days of the apocalypse. Despite Alycia Debnam-Carey's exit during season 7, Alicia returned in the series finale to be with her mother, Madison . It was sheer fan service after the two characters had been presumed dead for a large chunk of the show.

Alicia has many fans, and her final arc involving her return to Los Angeles sets up a comeback to the franchise at some point, whether in a new show or an ongoing series. The excellent news for Alicia is that she knows many characters, making an encore likely if Debnam-Carey is on board. Many unanswered questions remain about the time she was gone from the show, which could manifest into a compelling future storyline.

9 Silas Plaskett (Hal Cumpston)

The walking dead: world beyond, the walking dead world beyond.

Silas was one of The Walking Dead: World Beyond 's bright spots and quickly moved up the CRM ranks. Ultimately, he remained working with villains during the series finale. Despite the increased focus on the CRM during The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live , Silas not even being mentioned was disconcerting, considering he was directly associated with the CRM.

Now that Rick and Michonne have dismantled the CRM, there's a chance that Silas has moved away from his post and is now at a familiar location in the franchise. There are plenty of potential stories for him because of what he went through during his time under the rule of The Walking Dead universe's most formidable force. His connection with Jadis could also set up a storyline that involves him in the same community as Gabriel, possibly allowing them to bond over their belief that she wasn't all bad.

8 Davon (Jessie T. Usher)

Tales of the walking dead, tales of the walking dead.

Due to its anthology format, Tales Of The Walking Dead was an experimental series in the franchise. With the lack of screen time, most characters didn't get enough time to form compelling stories. Davon was an outlier because he was brimming with the most potential because of his growth in his sole episode.

He was accused of murder and had to find a way to safety as people tried to have him take the fall for a crime he didn't commit. Davon went from having few survival skills to being able to look after himself throughout one episode. Aside from his past life as a college student, details were kept under wraps, meaning there's an excellent opportunity to have Davon arrive at another Walking Dead community in the present to become a firmer fixture in the franchise.

7 Althea Szewczyk-Przygocki (Maggie Grace)

Althea was a journalist with an eye for detail and desperate to tell stories about people in the zombie-ravaged world. Unfortunately, Fear the Walking Dead 's later seasons failed to give many characters the screen time they deserved , and Althea's final story involved her going on the run with Isabelle. Thanks to Isabelle's association with the CRM, Althea could inevitably pop back up with her girlfriend at some point.

Despite Fear the Walking Dead season 8 presenting plenty of opportunities for Althea's return, it seems a comeback is being saved for further down the line. Given her connection to Morgan, who has been trying to reunite with Rick, Althea could materialize at Alexandria or the Commonwealth. Morgan would welcome her with open arms, while she could bond with Rick and Michonne over their mutual hatred for the CRM.

6 Sarah Rabinowitz (Mo Collins)

Sarah was one of the better characters introduced as part of Fear the Walking Dead 's season 4 reboot under new showrunners. Armed with killer wit and the street smarts to outmaneuver the most cunning enemies, Sarah brought levity to some of Fear the Walking Dead 's most somber storylines . Unfortunately, she was written out between seasons 7 and 8, leaving her arc unresolved and countless questions about what happened to her.

While it's hard to imagine there ever being a full-fledged Sarah spinoff, her best future is probably in The Walking Dead: Dead City . It would be interesting to see her talking about Dwight and Sherry in front of Negan to make the reformed villain uncomfortable. It would also give Maggie a new ally because Sarah wouldn't willingly work with Negan because of the harm he brought to her friends.

The Walking Dead has been a huge success, spawning six spinoffs. The franchise has produced over 300 episodes, but some stand out more than others.

5 Hope Bennett (Alexa Mansour)

Hope Bennett was dubbed "the asset" by the CRM because of her intelligence , which sent her storyline in an exciting direction because it confirmed that the villainous forces were using her and her family. At the end of The Walking Dead: World Beyond , she continued tests on zombies and got some positive results. Despite her storyline seemingly being set up to continue in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live , there was no resolution, leading to questions about what became of Hope and the other scientists.

Rick and Michonne's heroic efforts have changed the CRM forever, theoretically setting up the character's return because it's no longer necessary for her to hide out at an abandoned mall. Given her love of science, Hope would be an asset to any community across the franchise, assuming the CRM didn't capture her between the series finale of The Walking Dead: World Beyond and the beginning of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live .

4 Victor Strand (Colman Domingo)

Victor Strand wasn't originally a part of the main cast of Fear the Walking Dead but became one of the spinoff's finest characters. After his mean streak concluded, Fear the Walking Dead season 8 started redeeming the character in ways that would allow him to be more immersed in the more expansive Walking Dead universe. Fear the Walking Dead 's ending saw him getting close to getting the life he always wanted, but he didn't reunite with Alicia, which was a surprise given their history.

Given the changes in Victor as a character, it's hard to imagine him straying from being a good person for the foreseeable future. The series finale sent him on a new path with his husband and adopted son. The CRM may be gone, but many Walking Dead villains are still peppered throughout this undead franchise . Victor had connections with countless characters, making it easier for him to have a purpose in another show.

3 Luciana Galvez (Danay García)

Luciana was underutilized for much of her time on Fear the Walking Dead after Nick's death. In fact, Fear the Walking Dead didn't seem to know what to do with Danay García's character and didn't bother developing a three-dimensional personality for such a great character. Due to her surviving the series finale, Luciana seems destined to continue her plight to improve the world, meaning it would be a good idea to bring her back for one of the other shows. She'd thrive on The Walking Dead: Dead City if she was forced to work with Maggie or Negan.

It would be interesting to learn more about Luciana because she brought a lot to Fear the Walking Dead . It's a shame the writers sidelined her after her boyfriend's demise. She could have become a leader as the show continually lost familiar faces. With some time away from the screen, it would be nice to meet a more hardened iteration of Luciana and see what she brings to the table.

2 June Dorie (Jenna Elfman)

Anyone with medical expertise is crucial to the success of communities, and June Dorie had proven time and time again that she was an asset. J une got plenty of great storylines in Fear the Walking Dead , but her ending was pretty open-ended as she became Odessa's mother. The pair carved out a strong bond at a time when they trusted few people. Due to the time between Fear the Walking Dead season 8 and The Walking Dead: Dead City , the Maggie and Negan-led spinoff would be the best way to bring June back.

June's skills could be in demand by everyone, more so ten years into the apocalypse. Hearing June talk about characters like Morgan, with whom Maggie and Negan already share a history, would be intriguing. Alternatively, it would be fun seeing her work with one of them as they were against each other because those two are always on the outs.

1 Daniel Salazar (Rubén Blades)

Daniel was a casualty of lousy writing throughout his time on Fear the Walking Dead . He started as a family man forced to adapt to the new world order as the apocalypse began in Los Angeles. As the series progressed, he got random plots that didn't fit his character. There are many ways to bring Daniel back and give him something more befitting of such an iconic character.

Under the right showrunners, plenty of storylines can be mined from his past. Daniel is one of those people who could be placed anywhere in The Walking Dead universe and thrive with some good material. He could be one of the few Fear the Walking Dead characters to show up in France in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon because everything that happens to him has been so unpredictable.
