You could avoid away teams but then you miss out on all the Alien girls...
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Well, interesting alien women do come on board sometimes. Some are a bit freaky, but for every Princess who turns into a Wookie when she's angry, theres an empathic concubine born and raised for no other purpose then to please men.

One thing about the redshirts, at least, they were mounred. Kirk remembered your name, beat himself up over your death...

Yeah, I think the only funeral I remember since TOS was Tasha Yar's funeral, and she was hardly a redshirt.

Erm, actually she was a "redshirt", she was chief of security.

Thus the "redshirt", the TOS redshirts in question were security, and so was she.

Eh, true.

Okay, so aside from the commander of the redshirts, have we ever seen a funeral for one?

There was Munitz in DS9 - a vigil rather than a funeral, but good enough to count I reckon.

This survey had me cracking up.
