Star Trek: The Motion Picture/Nightmare Fuel

• The first Trek movie was relatively tame, except for a delightful scene where two crewmembers get pulverized by a malfunctioning transporter beam. While screaming in agony. And if that isn't bad enough, this is the message they get from the other transporter room:

"Enterprise, what we got back... didn't live long. Fortunately."

• • The reading of that line reeeeeeeally didn't help. Gah.
    • The book is actually WORSE. The crew members actually materialised inside out and were alive to feel it. But not for very long. Fortunately.
• And then we find out what V'ger does to the "information" it collects. Poor Ilia!
• And if that's not bad, try being kidnapped by V'Ger: surrounded by an incredibly strong electromagnetic /lightning type force that shocks you and anyone who tries to help you. And there's no time to cry out or to say goodbye to anyone you might care about...
• "That unit no longer functions." Brrr.
