Quote:If you look at the overall number of characters who wear red shirts in "The Original Series" and compare them to the ones who were killed off, redshirt characters actually have a higher survival rate than, say, characters wearing blue or gold shirts, who are much smaller in number.So apparently redshirts only die off in large numbers because there are a large number of redshirts.
