Almost every episode, a Federation “red shirt” from the Enterprise would somehow be killed, and Bones (Dr. McCoy) would be kneeling by the guy, checking his pulse, then while looking up at Kirk, say the words: “He’s dead, Jim”. (It really was like clock work)
[I taught this phrase to Lailah more than a year ago, and she still says it to me, knowing i will laugh and laugh when she says it.]
