Starfleet Analytics — looking at the issue of Red-Shirt fatalities on Star Trek, complete with a PowerPoint presentation.
(A very amusing article, only marred by misrepresenting the colors — yellow is Command, and red is Support; Engineering and Security are both red-shirt professions.)

Yes, the friday GM showed us all that, and yes geeks that we are noticed the mistake right away. 🙂
Though this was my Favourite bit:
One of my favorite episodes of TOS (for a variety of reasons) is “The Apple,” where they planned to have so many redshirt casualties, the landing party had to actually beam down in two groups.
All those typos in the bar graph episode titles are rather disturbing, too. Still, I suppose that doesn’t affect the stats.
