	Redshirt - Lostpedia
		A redshirt is a type of stock character in film or television that is a non-featured character, whose purpose to the plot is to be killed.
		Redshirts are especially common in the science-fiction genre, and the term is derived from the 1966 television series Star Trek, where never-before-seen characters depicting ensigns from the Security or Engineering departments (wearing red uniforms) almost universally met their demise soon after joining the main characters on any mission away from their starship.
		In Lost, the term redshirt is used in a slightly different way, as the term does not refer to a character who will die by the end of the episode to illustrate the danger of a plot device to the main characters.

	Redshirt (character) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A redshirt is a stock character, used frequently in science fiction but also other genres, whose sole purpose is to die violently soon after being introduced.
		The redshirt distinction was made more prominent by the fact that the only main characters who wore red were Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott and Communications Officer Lt. Uhura; since there were no regular characters in the security department, the appearance of any such character in an episode was strongly suggestive.
		The Redshirts in question are sold for use as cannon-fodder and expendable manpower in situations too dangerous for your average crew member.

		The fictional universes depicted in movies like the Star Wars or Star Trek series tend to get very complex (for beginners: the former features Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, the latter Captain Kirk, the Enterprise, and a loyal crew made up of people like engineer Scotty; if you get them mixed up, you are worthless).
		In normal movie parlance, a continuity error means one of those embarrassing moments when, say, the bandage on an actor moves from the right hand to the left hand between scenes due to a mistake by the makeup department.

		Which of the two primary science fiction firearms do you all prefer- the M41A pulse rifle (used by the Colonial Marines and the Company’s white armoured biotech troops in Aliens and Alien 3 respectively) or the Blastech E-11 (the blaster rifle used by Stormtroopers in Star Wars)?
		Maybe becoz I like semi-realistic science fiction that has SOME similarities to real life than totally fantastic concepts, although I love Star Wars too.
		Comparing them to other rifle style weapons is welcome, like the blaster rifles with NV scopes that the human survivors use in the future scenes of The Terminator.

		I am reminded of the words of Philip K. Dick, who said something to the effect of, "Our knowledge of science is, at best, limited and unofficial," writers like Asaro, Benford, and Brin not withstanding.

	Okay, I wrote it. - Ex Isle Forums
		We were making a hugely ambitious science fiction show with heavy mandatory action elements for a miniscule budget with a crew that had never done it before.
		And while the Kalderans' onscreen lameness still kind of stings a bit (I created them when I was writing the timeline and was really proud of their culture and history as written in the All Systems materials), I don't see "Broken Hammer" as being some shark-jumping moment because of it.
		Yup, covered that in my other post, even when you guys were rocking the show had problems but the quality always, ALWAYS outshone the budget problems until the second season.
