By the 25th century Starfleet personnel referred to Security and Tactical personnel as "redshirts", a slang term derived from the color of their uniforms since the 2380s. Operations and Engineering personnel were similarly "goldshirts", while Science and Medical were "blueshirts". (Bait and Switch)

  • Ein Redshirt (auch Rothemd oder Rotes Hemd) ist ein Seriencharakter in Film oder Fernsehen, der nicht die Hauptrolle spielt und dessen Zweck in der Handlung ist, dass er getötet wird. Redshirts sind vor allem in Science-Fiction Filmen allgemein üblich und die Bezeichnung stammt von der TV-Serie „Star Trek“ von 1966, in der Charaktere, die nie zuvor gezeigt wurden, als Sicherheits- oder Entwicklungsmitarbeiter (sie tragen rote Uniformen) eingesetzt werden und die fast immer kurz nachdem sie mit einem Hauptcharakter die Mission angetreten haben, sterben. Ihre Todesfälle zeigen die Gefahr, in die sich die Hauptcharaktere begeben, die natürlich nie in wirklicher Gefahr waren, aus der Serie zu verschwinden.
  • Un redshirt est un personnage fréquemment utilisé dans les films ou séries de fictions. Ce personnage est censé mourir assez violemment peu après avoir été présenté. Boone y fait allusion en déclarant : « Dans Star Trek, les types qui se font descendre, ils portent toujours du rouge et ils sont toujours tués. » Exemples : * dans le premier épisode, un personnage meurt aspiré par une des réacteurs de l'avion ; * dans l'épisode L'Exode (2/3) : Arzt est tué en manipulant des explosifs.

  • In the era regularly depicted in Star Trek: The Original Series, red uniforms were worn by members of the operations division. The duties they normally performed were in security, engineering, or other Support Services (such as communications officers, administrators and yeomen) aboard starships and starbases. In "The Apple," Kaplan, Marple, Hendorff, and Mallory were all on one security team, killed one-by-one by the dangers of Gamma Trianguli VI. TOS: "The Tholian Web" showed the USS Defiant crew dead, with much being redshirts, making it the only non-Enterprise ship to showcase redshirts.
  • A red shirt is one Unlucky Bastard; also known as Cannon Fodder, Acting Extra or, Damn, I wish I had gotten a better role, but my mommy couldn't pay my way through acting school. The UFP - Unbridled Fornication of the Poor - claims to oppose the death penalty. In reality, they merely strap a red shirt to their convicts and wait for the nearest passing alien to decide that he wants a snack. The ultimate irony? The actual red shirts themselves are indestructable. See also: Blueshirt
  • Um redshirt é um tipo de personagem de apoio em filmes ou televisão que não é apresentado como personagem, geralmente tem como propósito ser morto. O termo não se refere aos atores, somente aos personagens. Os atores que interpretam "redshirt" são geralmente creditados (ao contrário dos figurantes) como "atores convidados". Por isso, "redshirt" não deve ser confundido com um mero membro do Vôo 815, o que inclui os figurantes e os personagens com falas. O termo "redshirt" é às vezes usado como sinônimo de "figurante" ou "extra" por muitos sites de fãs de Lost (ex.: [1]), mas como se define corretamente, "redshirt" referem-se somente a personagens que tem o propósito primário de serem mortos na história por algo ou alguém .
  • Redshirt was a colloquialism among Starfleet personnel referring to expendable individuals who died in the line of duty. The term was derived from the mid-23rd century Starfleet uniform, which featured bold red shirts for members of Starfleet security. Despite 24th century Starfleet security personnel wearing yellow uniforms the term continued to be used. USS Enterprise security chief Greg Collier disliked being referred to as a "redshirt" (TOS novel: Death's Angel). Quark also notes, in comparing the lifespans of various lifeforms, that redshirts "rarely survive beyond the second act break".
  • A redshirt is a type of stock character in film or television that is a non-featured character, whose purpose to the plot, usually, is to be killed. The term does not refer to the actors, only to the characters. The actors that play "redshirt" characters are usually credited (opposite to uncredited in case of background cast) with the status of "guest actor". Therefore, "redshirt" should not be confused with mere membership on Flight 815, which includes background cast and speaking characters. The term "redshirt" is sometimes used synonymously with "background cast" or "extra" by many Lost fan resources (e.g., [1]), but as correctly defined, this use is incorrect, as "redshirt" refers only to a character type whose primary purpose is to be killed by a device in the plot.

  • Mit dem Begriff „Redshirt“ oder „Fähnrich Todgeweiht“ sind eher scherzhaft die oft namenlosen Sicherheitsoffiziere der USS Enterprise gemeint, die in den verschiedenen Außenmissionen und anderen Krisensituationen in der originalen Serie sehr oft und sehr schnell den Tod fanden, um zu zeigen, dass eine Situation gefährlich sei. Als mit [[]] neue Uniformfarben eingeführt wurden, mussten häufig Steuermänner ihr Leben lassen. Beispiele dafür sind Haskell, Monroe, Dern, Nell Chilton, Hawk und Branson. Auch bei [[]] starben Stadi und Cavit nach kurzer Zeit.
