21: By the Hand of Gertrude

The Red Shirt Diaries.


Everyone knows that, in the 23rd century, if your name is called
for away mission duty you don't want to be wearing red. Many
unfortunate crewmen lost their lives while donning the crimson
threads. But there were a lot of other people aboard the
Enterprise who managed to survive the five-year mission despite
their attire. What was life like for these men and women?


In this episode of Continuing Mission we're joined by Ashley
Robinson and Jason Inman to talk about their new web series, The
Red Shirt Diaries, which aims to answer that question through the
eyes of one Ensign Williams. We discuss how the series came to
be, how it was shot, favorite moments from production, why it's
important to check each and every Home Depot carefully, and what
we can expect to find when we peer into the private life of the
Ensign in Red.
