when did TOS take place, 23rd century or 22nd century
- Thread starter Gabriel
- Start date
Huh? You are not the only person who might be reading. I don't assume anything about readers' knowledge, but it does no harm to include a little extra detail that might be of benefit to someone.
But the jumpsuits could be worn by officers, see lieutenants Uhura, Kyle and Singh.
Yep, what I was thinking.
...It's rather frustrating that those don't work as "what you pull over your working clothes for dirty jobs". The apparent black t-shirt beneath has too low a collar, in every case of the coveralls we see, to be the shirt that is apparently worn beneath the usual tunics or pullovers. Changing into those thus means taking off everything but your briefs and socks!
(BTW, I can't help but chuckle at the way my screen truncates the thread title. "When did TOS take place" / "14 minutes ago"... Or "53 minutes ago" or whatever - that bit keeps changing just about as much as the actual dating of TOS has done, over the years.)

I was always confused by the black T-shirt under their yellow or blue uniforms on the show that we rarely glimpsed on the show! I used to think that the black collar was the T-shirt and without it they'd have a lower neckline!

Well we did get this:

Uhura is wearing a blue jumpsuit over her regular uniform while working on her control panel.

Thank goodness they never used THAT design.

Or maybe four. Because there is this broken stripe, which doesn't look the same as Jose's broken one:In the CAGE, they had three ranks (1 solid stripe, 1 broken (lacy) stripe, no stripe). Skipper. Gilligan. "And the Rest".

Sorry, but I can't see it. You must have good eyesight, BK.
Great research and analysis. If a time chart with a bar for each item is lined up by production number, one below each other, would we see any trends?
Well you were replying to a comment i made so I thought it was directed towards me. So I apologize for jumping to conclusions
yeah me too. I think only the first one is like a half stripeSorry, but I can't see it. You must have good eyesight, BK.
On the sleeve of the crewman grabbing the printout, there is a "railroad track" pattern to the stripe with bars and blanks, and two thin borders bounding the bars and blanks. And you can see the uniform color through the blanks.Sorry, but I can't see it. You must have good eyesight, BK.
On the sleeve of Jose Tyler's injured hand, I see a longer gold bar and shorter blank with the same thin borders and the uniform color showing through on the blanks.
What?! There are four ranks strips? Next thing you'll be telling me there are actually four division symbols with the fourth looking like a squared letter "C".
Tylers stripe is the same as the other officers, it's just kind of puckered up in that shot.
Agree! McCoy had one on at least once.
Well it's not "puckered up" in this shot:

As I said, starting at the top of his arm, I see gold, the green of his uniform, gold, the green of his uniform and gold. And that pattern remains consistent as he moves his arm to work the controls.
I see what you're seeing. But I don't see the same pattern on his other sleeve. Nor do I see the same pattern in this shot at the end of the episode:

Did he get promoted by Pike right before the end of the episode?
If you watch it in motion, you can see that those metallic high- and low-lights shift around with the position of the sleeve and its folds. But there are other shots where you can see his stripe is like that of the other officers.
But does everybody agree that the teletype operator has a broken stripe? I'd never noticed that before.
