Claudia, that's true from it's perspective but look at who dies on the away missions. They're mostly Redshirts. The stereotype isn't about percentages but more appearances.

Also, when the away team consisted of Kirk, Spock, Bones, and some nameless ensign in a red shirt, you knew exactly who wouldn't survive. :)

Right, Kristen. Whenever nameless red shirt went along we automatically said, "Oh,oh. He's gonna' get it. Cute puzzle.

Death is even-handed. Resurrection on the other hand ... All the main characters "die" at some point, but *poof* back they come via some deus ex machina or other.

"He's dead, Jim."
