I really like how in SNW the redshirts get names and funerals. Makes it feel more real and meaningful when they die

“You’re not gonna die on the planet, Guy.”

“Oh really? Then what’s my last name?”

“Uh… I… Uh… I don’t know.”

“Nobody knows! Do you know why? Because my character isn’t important enough for a last name, because I’m gonna die five minutes in!”

“Guy, you have a last name.”

“DO I? DO I?! For all you know, I’m ‘Crewman Number Six!’”

They’re not important enough to get multiple graves

This is a play on the IRL tomb of the unknown soldier, singular, which honors unidentified fallen soldiers

I could have asked him his name, I just didn’t want to

I think at least in TOS (where red shirts originated, perhaps statistically unfairly) all of the red shirts would get a name tagged to them before things went wrong. That seemed to be more of a "red" flag to me, get the regulars in a landing party, oh, and Mr. Johnson too. Yeah, he's toast.

Certainly by now someone has done a breakdown comparison of the many series - which series was more deadly to the "new" guy in the group? I don't think TOS was the worst, and no, whole ships don't count like Wolf 359.
