I noticed a common trend in Star trek... (Hopes this belongs in media section)

Anybody with even a passing interest in Star Trek should know this one rule: Never, ever, ever wear a red shirt- not under any circumstance. Don't do it. Pick any episode. Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, a series regular like Uhura and some guy you've never seen before are standing on the transporter pad. If the guy is wearing a red shirt, he will not live past the first commercial. Somewhere on the planet below certain death awaits. I've watched these guys be shot, be blown up, be disintigrated, have all their blood drained, have every cell in their body explode and otherwise the most painful and horible deaths imaginable. The endings aren't even especially heroic. First a guy beams down, then he's dead. At least it's usually quick. Nine times out of ten, the poor fellow doesn't have a clue what hit him. Within seconds, Bones examines the fallen crewman with a tricorder, turns to the captain and says, "He's dead, Jim." By the next scene it's as if the guy never existed. There's no wake, no funeral, and most of the time his name is never spoken again.

I wasn't thinking one day, and I bought a red bathing suit, and I went diving somewhere in the Cayman islands, and my regulator(For non-divers, that's the thing you breath with) broke apart ninety-five feet underwater. I managed my way back up to the surface, then I went back to my hotel room, and threw it away..

Another time, I was taking a driving test, and I wore a red shirt. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY a drunk driver slammed into the side of the car I was driving, and put me in the hospital for two days.

This most recent time, I wore a red shirt to school, and someone riding a bicycle(badly), ran into me with it, and I fell straight into a puddle, first thing in the morning before school. My ride already left.

Wear red if you want to, but I won't.

Thoughts?

Please don't tell me I'm crazy, I already know that.

 

I wore a red shirt once and found $5 in my pocket. Fuck your theory.

Plus Simon Pegg wore a red uniform during the ST movie and never died, but then again he survived a zombie apocalypse and a town of angry people so I guess he could survive anything.

 

*rolls eyes*
Of course he didn't die! Did you even read my reasoning? I said someone you've never seen before. Scotty is definately a series regular.

 

I didn't read most of the post. I just like to argue.
