Mr_Scabbs Posted July 23, 2006 Author Posted July 23, 2006 It’s supposed to be a throwback to the old 1960s Star Trek series where the ensigns wearing the “red shirts” would always get killed for no apparent reason. Doomed from the start, they would try to battle bravely--but they’d simply die because they weren’t a main character. This is a common theme in a lot of movies / TV shows. In piracy, the closest to the ensign I can imagine is that hapless dill-hole who wears a striped shirt. (Ahhh…Poor, poor stripe shirts. They never see it coming.) So, whether you thought it was funny or not, that’s your own thing. We just have fun making our movies… "I like nachos. Mermaid nachos."

Captain Jim Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 And the moral of the story is: never wear a striped shirt, blue check is much more period correct. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Capn_Enigma Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I love Star Trek, but this was just... uggh! "The floggings will continue until morale improves!"
