it doesn't look like a trek uniform because it is a decent design for clothing a person might be willing to wear.

The collar looks impossibly uncomfortable.

What was that thing where trump could directly be related to jeri ryan being hired on trek?

Are you thinking of this post?

quote:

Star Trek: Voyager was not as well received as previous Star Trek series. In 1997, producers decided to add a new character in an attempt to boost ratings. Actress Jeri Ryan was brought in to play Seven of Nine.

Jeri's frequent separations from her husband, Jack Ryan, due to her acting schedule contributed to their decision to divorce in 1999.

In 2004, Jack Ryan became the Republican nominee for an open Senate seat in Illinois. During the campaign, the proceedings from Ryan's divorce became public, and contained details of his sex life that did not make him look good.

The scandal forced Ryan to drop out of the Senate race in July, leaving the GOP time to only find token opposition to Democratic nominee Barack Obama.

Obama's landslide victory in the Senate race helped launch him onto the national stage, allowing him to pull off an upset victory in the 2008 Democratic primary and win the presidential election.

TL;DR- The lackluster writing of Star Trek: Voyager helped pave the way for the Obama presidency.

Oh I figured they left once they solved the problem.

nah brian fuller was the one who set it in TOS and he was kicked off before the show started and tbh it's pretty obvious none of the other writers ever wanted to be in TOS so they just went 'gently caress it' and just moved the setting permanently to the 32nd century where they can blow up the federation all they want

I'm less offended by Discovery now that they are in the 32nd century, but the show isn't really any better.

everyone in tos was sweating like crazy because of the lighting. using large, intense and radiantly hot lights during all indoor scenes was just how the filming worked. with a few exceptions (gorn), the costumes weren't particularly heavy or restrictive.

I don't want to mock people for crying in their workplace because I've seen it enough IRL. But it's always been in the worst, most toxic workplaces. It's not to my knowledge something people want to be doing.

You can make your sci-fi characters human without them breaking into tears every episode. At some point it just becomes cheap pathos.

All that said, no one is visibly crying in that screenshot.

Or the time they got annoyed at the happy sitcom life the Doctor was enjoying and told him it needed to be more realistic before killing his daughter.

Right up there with the entire command staff just breaking in on Barclay's holodeck time using their security overrides when he is late for work instead of finding a replacement on a military ship with over a thousand people that has like four entire shifts worth of manpower.

Look, it's the frigging holodeck, if someone doesn't leave at their appointed time you probably need to send in a team to help them escape from the clutches of holosatan.

The Borg Queen's origin was in a deleted First Contact scene where Georgi accidentally asked the holodeck computer for a woman that could defeat Commander Riker

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



Sounds more likely that Riker asked the holodeck for a sexy robot who won't quit.

Got to the Voyager where they go to the Delta Quadrant's version of Risa and Janeway is unwilling to either gently caress the dude who's offering the tech to get them home OR make a deal with the other dude who only wants the Federation's library in exchange, basically forcing several senior staff members to go behind her back. First episode where I've seen the way-too-othodox Janeway people talk about.

Enterprise figured out exactly what would get them off broadcast TV with regards to how much of Jolene Blalock's naked body they could show, and then pulled the camera back 0.5° so they could air it.

Going to spoiler it even though this was on network TV. Enterprise had exactly no shame.
