#Trek stuff

[cappuccinoandglitter]

Star Trek fashion really peaked on DS9. Everyone since has been trying to make fashion 'cool' or whatever but we need more leftover upholstery fabric shirts in clashing patterns. And more of that Bajoran crochet stuff. And the shiny blankets from TNG.

I didn't think I'd post this but it was too funny not to, so have some Trek with unnecessary censorship (I'm gonna do more later lol).

Yo, was anyone going to tell me Prodigy not only was returning Roberts Picardo and Beltran alongside Kate Mulgrew, but had fuckin' Daveed Diggs and Jameela Jamil doing voices too?!?!?

one more opinion about star trek fashion

it actually shouldn’t look like stuff you would wear (or at least a lot of it shouldn’t)

i’ve seen a lot of praise for modern trek fashion being better than classic trek because ‘people would actually wear that’

look at what people wore as everyday fashion 200-300 years ago, would you wear it? probably not, maybe for the novelty of it, but definitely not every day.

like, yeah this stuff looks crazy

it’s 300 years in the future. some of them are aliens, makes perfect sense to me that they would wear ridiculous extravagant clothes that look strange to my 21st century eye

similar to how if you showed modern fashion (especially alternative fashion/runway fashion) to someone dressed like this,

they would probably think we’re crazy.

yet for some reason modern trek wants us to believe that hundreds of years into the future people still just wear zip up hoodies?

(idk if the spock fit actually is a hoodie or not but come on man, the zipper? nothing more futuristic than a zipper?)

or this dress that looks like i could buy it in a 21st century target?

(not to hate on chapel, she’s just the only one i can find decent pictures of out of uniform)

also why is everything so grey now? when was it decided that people don’t wear colors in the future? i can not find out of uniform pictures where any of these people wear color, all black, white, grey, and maybe a bit of muted green.

tldr

clothing design in star trek should be just as important as clothing design in a period piece. i don’t think a screencap from any star trek should look like it could just as easily take place in the 21st century, i should see some crazy outfits. the clothes can do a lot of the heavy lifting to remind us that this is supposed to be far in the future.

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

Okay but this is exactly what Benjamin Lafayette Sisko's retirement project would be!

He comes back in time for the birth of his second child, with Kasidy (not over 20 years later - remember that Ira Behr has lots of very dumb ideas, and that's definitely near the top); Starfleet has no idea what to do with him, and Sisko's not really interested in running the station again - and definitely not interested in leaving for another assignment - but they can't just not reinstate him, right?

(You come back from the dead, you automatically get reinstated and get to pick your assignment - I'm pretty sure that's in the Starfleet regulations somewhere)

So they give him a promotion and put him in charge of the sector. Sisko doesn't want to overshadow Kira by staying on the station and possibly undermining her authority, so he puts his headquarters on Bajor - lives in his house in Kendra Province, transports to the capital for work.

And with a fair amount of downtime and no holosuites, what is Ben Sisko going to do for fun?

That's absolutely right - he's going to play baseball.

He goes full Field of Dreams and builds a baseball field at his house, and he talks the capital parks authority into making a diamond in one of the city parks near his office, so he can get a few cuts in at lunch.

At first, he's just got a robo-pitch machine throwing to him, though a few times a week, Jake comes by the house and they have a catch and some BP.

But then one day one of the younger kids playing at the park comes over and asks the Emissary if they can try hitting the "bean" (because it kind of looks like a big katterpod bean).

And Benjamin Sisko, Dad Extraordinaire and Baseball Lover Supreme, gives that big gleaming smile, says "You absolutely can", and gives that kid the best batting lesson he could possibly get.

It all goes quickly after that - more kids start showing up to play, a youth league develops in the capital; within a few years, there are youth leagues throughout the province, and in Kendra (playing at the Emissary's house is the highest goal of every kid on the planet).

The first adults to start playing organized games are the vedeks (baseball keeps popping up in orb visions, so they roll with it). The different orders start arranging games against each other.

By 2425, there's a worldwide professional league - the first commissioner, the retired Admiral Sisko, the Emissary, gives it its official name: Bajor League Baseball.

The beginning scenes of Star Trek Into Darkness are so Lower Decks coded I'm not even kidding. The shenanigans, the chaos, the near-incompetence...

This is my least favorite of the Kelvin films. In fact I have only seen it the one time in theatres. I just put it on because I remembered the best part was Aisha Hinds' role.

tng is always like Data doesnt have emotions but its literally infuriating because HE DOES like the fact he wants and seeks out friendship and connection and cares for spot and for his friends and colleagues and is always learning as much as he can and making art... im not articulating this well but its like. Why do people keep telling him he doesnt have emotions. He literally obviously does

turning off reblogs now, i am not informed enough on TNG or star trek for this to have notes, i am an extremely casual watcher who has seen very few episodes and this was a personal post honestly did not intend for anyone to actually see or share it

[freepassbound]

Instead of engaging in Trek discourse with the most "online leftist word salad" post I have ever seen, I have decided to watch all of the new Prodigy.

[thegeminisage]

i'm just going to go ahead and make this its own post. when kirk teases spock he is SO GENTLE. "why mister spock are you feeling emotion?" and he lets spock do the vulcan equivalent of giggling and kicking his feet and going "haha nooo silly i'm a VULCAN i don't do that!!" and kirk's like "oh my apologies mister spock of COURSE not" and then they make consensual loving eyecontact with one another while smiling. when BONES senses blood in the water (spock having an emotion) he will grab spock by the scruff of his fucking neck and shake until dead. like a dog with a squirrel.

One of my friends suggested they go to Barbie’s dream house. Hope this is satisfactory.
