In opening sequences (and other scenes), an unimportant crew member frequently gets killed. Nearly always a security team member (red shirt). Moral? Don’t wear red.
Quite true, but it seems the red shirts seem to cross harm’s way a lot more often. But I think it all evens out in the end when they lose whole starships, like the Constellation, Exeter, Excalibur & Defiant.
Long ago and far away I had that quote set as the sound my computer made when Windows shut down and the comp turned off, and Scotty’s “Hello, computer” as the start sound.
