Thats the reason why I don't own a single article of red clothing.[/q

Please elaborate. I've never heard of this before....


There was a great explanation of the 'red shirts' in Wednesday's episode of Lost, but here goes: every time Kirk and co. went down to a planet's surface to investigate, among the away team would be @ least one anonymous crew member wearing a red Starfleet shirt. This guy was most likely to get killed during the away team's mission, and eventually it became so predictable during the series' 79 episode run that the phenomenon became known as "The Red Shirt Curse." The only crew member to beat the curse was Scotty, and that was because he was a regular cast member.
