My assessment did include those, actually. They look like they're part of some Holiday décor, or some shit. But I hate everything Elaan wore, save for the blue dress, when she was on the bridge, with the necklace, and the orange one she wore in sickbay. Petri's outfits were pure shite. If over-the-top is what they wanted in the costuming for this show, they hit the mark on it, that's for sure. But it really looked like they trotted out the cheapest, cheesiest costumes they had in the back ... I felt bad for the actors, really.Do you mean those funky orange plastic 'body armor' thingees?
Oh, I didn't know you were female -- hello, there, chickie! You can bet your sweet bippy that Petri was plenty pissed at Elaan, alright ... personally, I would've just laughed at her shit. But most people do take things to heart much easier than we expect they might, don't they? And you bring up a very good point about not knowing his strength. I mean ... his people and hers were, in fact warring with eachother, with neither side assured of victory. Which is how her mission on the Enterprise even came to be, in the first place, of course. In short ... Petri might've been more of a Man than he initially came across to me. Either way ... as I've noted previously, he's still a hoot.Yes, my money would have been on Elaan as being able to hold her own physically against Petri, but none of us know what Petri might have been capable of either. Just because someone is perceived as weak doesn't mean that s/he truly is. It was just the image of him getting the ruby slipper in there even for a few seconds before she continued her combat against him that tickled my funny bone. Something tells me we wouldn't want to imagine where the hapless slipper finally ended up!
... A Space Hoot!
(Hey, somebody had to say it.)
