I found Redshirts to be hysterically funny, completely off the wall, full of sarcastic wit and absolutely brilliant. Scalzi starts out spoofing science fiction shows that feature terrible science, but ends up faithfully honoring the spirit of those same shows while at the same time boldly going completely meta and self-aware.
