I didn't actually recall the scene, but I am confident I understand the reference and usage.sysprog said:It was Data on Next Generation, and it was "out", not "off" (I cheated and googled it, but how different is that from asking Data?)
Subsequent Googling confirms my suspicion: a blow out.

Call it the Capital Trucker Festival running last week of January to February.Keith_McClary said:
Nothing like a festival in the winter to turn the cold blues away.
( quebec city has its Bonhoome winter carnival )
Ottawa could charge admission and make it an annual thing attracting tourist dollars.
They have barbeques, bouncy houses for the kids, saunas, good music, dancing.
they even put up a kitchen house in about 2 days.
Instead, Ottawa wants to retain it's boring town personna and would like the festival dang down.

Yup. A ship full of redshirts got drunk on recycled plot from the original series, said "hold m'beer" and opened an airlock. Riker comments (for the benefit of the audience) that they were all sucked out into space and Data (for the benefit of pedants) corrects him.DaveC426913 said:
Props to the writers for acknowledging from where the episode got its main plot device by directly referencing the events of the older one.

One of the first things I learned from my neighbor's color TV was if you're on Star Trek, don't wear a red shirt.Ibix said:

I have read, but have not confirmed, that actually a red shirt is the safest colour. It's true that the majority of extras who bought it were redshirts, but the vast majority of away team extras were redshirts - so their survival probability isn't too bad. I gather that gold is actually the worst colour. Few of them beam down, but when they do they don't come back...sysprog said:

Yep. Some guy tallied the deaths in every ep.Ibix said:
Ultimately, red shirts win in the numbers game. There's, like, 350 of them.
The takeway is:
You're safest as red shirt crew; but woe betide the few who are tapped for away missions.

My recollection is that red-shirt security guys were especially expendable.

The point was that they only beamed down gold shirts when they needed an extra to do something other than stand guard. Main characters would normally do all of that, so they only used a minor character when they were going to be killed.sysprog said:
A lot of redshirts died. But percentage-wise, you really didn't want to leave the ship in a gold shirt, because you were just there to be killed in place of a regular.

No, I think you're just an egghead, like most of us in this siteberkeman said:*Facepalm*
At first I thought it was about boiling water to sterilize it (I'm a skimmer, not a reader). So of course I didn't get the joke. Let me "read" it about 5 times so I can get the joke...

Either that, or hunters should have to go into the woods unarmed and naked.fresh_42 said:

For flat-earthers, it would be "You're one of those guys that believe in metrics".WWGD said:
(That would require a flat-earther who knows what a metric is.)
