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?)

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:
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:
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:

Wow, if I was a conspiracy theorist. My post number was 11,969. Apollo 11, 1969. ( There are much thinner premises behind some conspiracies).WWGD said:
