At last! A "Redshirt" speaks out about his lot in life.
Yeah, he's pretty dead. From Star Trek: Mission's End #3 (May 2009).
And not to be missed by any Star Trek fan, 2001's Redshirt Blues by David O. Rogers. A fun look at what those poor security troops have to deal with on a day to day basis in the Trekoverse.
My son, who's never had any interest in Star Trek until the new movie, wanted one of the shirts they offer on the Cheezit boxes. I had to explain to him, in graphic detail, why there was no way I'd let him wear a red shirt.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! If you wear a gold shirt then you come off as some kind of creepy fan. But a red shirt is just asking for it.
