We were killing time in the Denver Airport on the say to (or maybe from) Lauren’s parent’s 50th wedding anniversary when we saw this picture:
Our immediate thought was, “Oh man, that Indian is in trouble.”
(Lauren here: This was a very timely back up post. If you want to just jump straight to the red-shirt video, click here.)
Did you buy it? It was fifty percent off, for goodness sakes!
It wouldn’t fit in my tiny suitcase.
I only watched Star Trek sparingly so I didn’t notice the red shirt factor. Didn’t the woman working the radar or radio mainly wear red. She didn’t die. Plus didn’t Captain Kirk wear red occasionally?
I never knew this either! (hilarious video clip btw!)
I wonder at what point in the series a newly hired actor knew to fear ‘the red shirt’… and did he ever try to swap it out before his scene.
