This was a lot of fun.
As fans of Star Trek know, "redshirts" are the crew members on the show that provide the illusion of drama by, well, dying. Whereas the main characters, as everyone knows, always return in subsequent episodes. But what if the redshirts figured this out and attempted to change their seemingly predestined fates?
A funny, entertaining, and deconstructive look at an old formula.
I could have done without the three epilogues, but your tastes may vary.

Fun though might appeal most to Star Trek fans. Codas feel unnecessary.
