The only Star Trek episode that has ever been remotely scary to me was TNG's The Most Toys. My dad was channel flipping, and I was around nine at the time. All I saw was a flashing image of the chair to be Data's display. That was enough.
It wasn't a nightmare, exactly, more a very unsettling dream. I was afraid it was messed with, rigged to explode. I didn't even know who did it, or who it was for. I didn't start watching any Star Trek until late 2016 or early 2017. I later watched the episode "again", and I was like, wait a second, I remember this...
I guess you could say I was destined to latch onto Data, to make sure we both made it through, to learn and grow as much as possible. To survive, as ourselves.
