I am (was?) a big fan of The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, but this is just plain anal:

Here are the statistics:
Red Shirt Death episodes = 18
Episodes with fights = 55
Probability of a fight breaking out = 70%
Kirk "conquest" episodes = 24
Kirk "conquest" + fights = 16
Kirk "conquest" + red shirt casualty= 4
Red shirt death + fight + Kirk "conquest" = 3

I liked the Next Gen and DS9, too. The compulsion to catalog/live in fantasy worlds is not geekdom, it is escapism.

As much as I enjoyed the fantasy world Rodenberry designed, I have not been compelled to try to escape into it. I am however a terrible science/tech geek...
