What is Expendable Crew Member?
1.
The one that will definitely not survive. Taken from the TV series "Star Trek", which frequently introduces a new character (often wearing a red shirt), who dies early on, showing the power of that episode's enemy force. This is character is killed so that the regulars, Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Uhura, Chekov, and Scotty, can all remain unharmed.
Good thing James wore his red shirt, because if we have to throw someone to the wolves tonight, it's gonna be our expendable crew member.
