One of my favorite things about xena is that when Lucy lawless got pregnant, by that point in the series it was so improbable for xena to have sex with a man that the writers were like “fuck it, immaculate conception by your former nemesis whose soul you saved”

TNG Original Costume Tests: Data

I don’t have the actual documentary, just the Trekcore caps, so forgive me if I miss anything, and feel free to add on if you have more info!

A central conflict in Data’s design is how to make him look like he’s definitely a robot, but also a robot designed to look like a human. It’s definitely an interesting uncanny valley balance to strike. In the costumes tests, differences from the Data we know and love are all over the place!

This Data has lighter hair and eyebrows, especially at the hairline; show!Data’s wig is a more consistent color. Also, the contacts are slightly less green, and I think the pupils are smaller. And check out that blush! 

His haircut is pretty similar, but it looks like the Sideburn Bible wasn’t solidified by this point, because the sideburns are a lot weaker. (This also could have something to do with the hair color.)

It also looks like the lip color was a question; I think the choice to just have his face all white was probably good, because it keeps his android-ness without making him feel super duper inhuman.

There also appears to have been a kinda cursed pink Data phase. Sorry for making you witness this. It’s in the name of journalism! (Hey, besides the cursedness, this picture is actually pretty cute.)

There are a bunch of these slightly spooky pictures with a yellow eye and an orange eye. Fairly sure this was not an intent of heterochromia, but rather just to test the look of two at the same time.

🎶Beware the phantom of the Datopera!🎶

Thank you for journeying with me on this frightful journey through the land of contact lenses.

I have a gripe about the Star Trek mugs...

Picard's teacup is a delicate, fragile little thing held by a strip of plastic and a dream. That thin glass will break if you look at it sideways. And where do they put that ridiculous tiny cup? On the Enterprise, which is always being dragged into conflict

The DS9 raktajino mugs are hefty, wide-based things that are meant to not tip over. They're called no-spill mugs. They have a foam piece on the bottom so they don't slip. They're incredibly sturdy – meant for ships and traveling! Where do they put them? At the station, which is arguably the most stable place they could be cause DS9 rarely gets knocked about.

Far as I'm concerned, Janeway's the only one doing practical space mugs correctly. Come on, a metal travel mug that's as strong as her coffee is black? Takes a beating through 70,000 light years of bridge shakes fighting off the Borg and the Hirogen and still holds a hot drink? Now that's a space mug

I just sat up out of bed in a cold sweat to write this:

A Vulcan musician named T’Pain.

He wasn’t overly successful back home, but he’s big on Earth.

i am obsessed with this moment from what we left behind. ira steven behr is basically like, "yeah so were they buddies? ^w^" and andrew robinson in a completely deadpan, 100% serious tone just says "they fucked." he doesn't hesitate, he doesn't miss a beat. he believes in garashir with his heart and soul and that is just so incredibly awesome
