O Christmas Trek

The Needs of the Many” made the original Disturbing Ornaments list, and its scene of a beloved Star Trek character dying tragically while his best friend watches still seems decidedly un-Christmas-y to me. Meanwhile, Trek fans may remember “The Man Trap” as the very first (non-pilot) episode of the show, in which a salt vampire attempts to drain the salt from Kirk’s body. I couldn’t tell you if this ornament is a good representation of the scene, but the way it’s sculpted makes it seem like Kirk and the alien are about to tenderly embrace while Kirk is screaming. It freaks me out.
