Having grown up with hearing this trope from my dad (also a big Trekkie), and only going back to TOS in my 20's, I don't even know how it got so exaggerated. There wasn't nearly as many red shirt deaths as I expected. I even watched it on Spike, when they had trivia and a literal red shirt death counter overlay.

I think the opening scene for the 2009 movie had more visual deaths in it than all the series combined. And one of the shockers of WoK was how we finally saw first hand what "casualties" looks like when you're right there.
