    6. Your weapon has somehow materialized thirty feet from you, your tricorder ten feet in the other direction, and your combadge at your feet. Worse of all, you beamed in right in front of some mean mother.

    You've beamed onto a new planet, aren't a major character, and the opening credits haven't played yet.

    9. You just recently told a member of the crew that you could use some excitement.

    10. You are the romantic / professional rival of a main character and are not a main character yourself.

    11. You're supposed to be a badass in combat.

    12. When someone says "what was that?", you respond with "I'll check it out."

    LTS after beta is actually a good sign. Them originally pulling the plug on them with CO before beta was over was a sign of weakness in that game and that NOBODY in their right mind would buy one after seeing it's post launch condition as it stood.

    16. You've been beamed into space without protective gear.

    17. You transport into an area that was supposed to be an empty cargo bay. Instead, it's full of enemy mooks.

    18. The ship you're assigned to is named anything but Enterprise, Defiant, or Voyager.

    19. You have to travel a fair distance by shuttle at any point...

    - It's a diplomatic mission. The Ambassador you were supposed to meet and escort is mysteriously not there.

    - It's a diplomatic mission. You arrive just in time to hear the Ambassador you're supposed to escort say "Nonsense, why would I need any extra security?"

    - Your CO has sent you on this mission "To take a break from these high-stress missions you've been on. This one will be quick and easy, don't worry about it."

    - When you arrive all you can hear are sirens.

    - When you arrive, everything is in pitch black darkness but you're standing under a bright white spotlight. A smug voice from the darkness says "We have been expecting you," or, worse, "Prepare to be judged!"

    21. You're part of a security detail. Period.

    Not in the films (and DS9 did do a lot to blunt the abuse the character suffered in TNG). The point I was trying to make is that if you're a Klingon character in a Star Trek film, the chances are likely that you will not survive (the Klingons in STV are a notable exception, as is Worf).

    The character is portrayed by Paul Winfield. (did he survive in any movie he was in because he sure didn't in ST 2 nor in Terminator even having a desk job)
