Ah yes, my favorite character ensign 1-9
They don't last long, so make sure to grab another one every chance you get.

It’s Guy Ensign 1, Guy Ensign 2, Guy Ensign 3, Guy Ensign 4, etc.

Umm, acktually being a red shirt is not the most statistically dangerous role in a TOS crew.
Infynis@midwest.social 1 year ago
That makes sense, but it kind of ignores the spirit of the joke, which is that red shirts are cannon fodder brought on away missions to die. There being way more of them on the ship fits perfectly with that impression
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It ignores the spirit, but not the technicality, which makes it technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct.
Also, you’d like the book Redshirts, by John Scazli. The away teams become self aware of the writing tropes.

By that statical approach, I bet the biggest risk is going on away missions alongside bridge crew.
The survival odds for non-bridge crew who beam down alongside bridge crew seem terrible.
The only exceotion I can think of is Wesley and I’m not sure he counts since he did technically die the usual number of times.

The backbone of the fleet, no question.

And just like Worf’s backbone, it’s dramatic when it breaks, but it’ll be good as new by next episode.
