    Red Shirt Casualty Conclusion: Hope Kirk Makes "Contact"

    From The Analytics of Captain Kirk

    Q: What factors could increase/decrease the survival rate of red-shirted crewmen?
    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 Kirks' 24 "relationships" there were only three instances of red-shirt vaporization.

    The caveat to this is when Captain Kirk not only meets the local alien women, but also starts a fight among alien locals. The combination of these events has led to the elimination of 4 crewmembers (3 red-shirts).

    Here are the statistics:
    Red Shirt Death episodes = 18
    Episodes with fights = 55
    Probability of a fight breaking out = 70%
    Kirk "conquest" episodes = 24
    Kirk "conquest" + fights = 16
    Kirk "conquest" + red shirt casualty= 4
    Red shirt death + fight + Kirk "conquest" = 3

    Interesting, but it sounds like someone thinks too much!

        Either that or they need to do like that one Red Shirt did on Robot Chicken's second season. Make sure they're the only one in the landing party with a phaser.

                  I think red shirt engineers are safe. Its the security red shirts that get killed.


                  Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

                    Sucks to be a red shirt - not only do you have to multi-task and do the heavy lifting, but you got that big ol' bullseye on you all the time!!
