StrangeNewWorlds showrunner Henry Alonso Myers explains how the show subverts the classic redshirt trope by making its secondary characters important to the show's narrative.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds showrunner Henry Alonso Myers discusses how the show challenges Star Trek's redshirt trope. The latest entry in the popular science-fiction franchise follows Captain Christopher Pike and his capable crew on the USS Enterprise five years before Captain James T. Kirk takes command of the Federation flagship. Strange New Worlds is the sixth show introduced following CBS' rebranding of the multi-generational series beginning with Star Trek: Discovery in 2017.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Although the redshirt trope can be applied all throughout television and film, it originated with Star Trek: The Original Series as the show frequently featured expendable characters who would accompany the main cast on their expeditions. These characters would be dressed in red shirts and would generally find their demise by the end of the episode.
"A death like that has to matter. You want it to feel real. This is a universe where people die. It’s become a joke when a redshirt dies that it doesn’t mean anything. Part of our goal was to remind the audience what it does mean when a redshirt dies. That it has some resonance, that there’s drama that comes out of it…the core of what we’re trying to do on Strange New Worlds is tell character stories through genre.
Myers explained that the show does not intend to take the death of a character lightly, including those in red shirts. However, Hemmer surpassed the redshirt trope as he was a well-established character with emotional connections to other lead characters on board the USS Enterprise. The redshirt trope generally referred to characters who would be introduced in the episode of their death.
However, the episode did feature two characters who fit the classic redshirt trope mold. In the Alien-inspired episode, two brand-new characters were part of the landing party on the desolate planet, Ensign Chia and Lieutenant Duke . Both were introduced in the episode and killed in the episode, but the two characters were treated with care by the show's writers as they were immediately developed in the show's first scene set at their promotion ceremonies.
