Red Shirts at Risk
May 17th, 2009
We made a family outing to go see the new Star Trek movie which was great. While pondering the fate of poor Olsen (who was wearing the red space suit) I thought I would search for some info on the survival of the Red Shirts in general on ST. I found this:
It’s a tragic tale that plays out countless times every day on re-runs of classic Star Trek. Captain Kirk & Co. beam down to an alien planet. They come under attack by some malevolent energy being or dudes in rubber suits. Security crewmen wearing red shirts get vaporized, stabbed and poisoned by booby-trapped flowers.
Being a “Red Shirt” on the USS Enterprise is one of the most dangerous jobs in any (imaginary) military. Don’t believe me? SiteLogic founder Matt Bailey crunched the numbers: 13.7% of Kirk’s crew died during their three-year televised mission. 73% of the deaths were Red Shirts.
What might save Red Shirts’ lives?
Besides not getting involved in fights, which usually proved fatal, the crewmen could avoid beaming down to the planet’s surface, which is inherent to their end. However, that could result in a court-martial for failure to obey orders.
Besides not beaming down, another factor that showed to increase the survival rate of the Red Shirts was the nature of the relationship between the alien life and Captain Kirk. When Captain Kirk meets an alien woman and “makes contact” the survival rate of the red-shirted crewmen increases by 84%. In fact, out of Captain Kirk’s 24 “relationships” there were only three instances of Red-Shirt vaporization.
