What IS That?

Sigh

Lieutenant
Red Shirt
I was minding my own business watching ST: The Motion Picture when THIS came out of nowhere...

I guess he wears neither to the left nor to the right.

There is something wrong with either the link or the image you hosted. Please correct it so we will know what you are talking about. If not, I will have to close the thread.

Thanks.
 
Consequence of TMP jumpsuits, they were extremely restrictive, IIRC, George Takei stated that "It took the assitance of two people just to get out of them"

Likewise as they were so skin tight, you probably wouldn't be able to wear underwear with the jumpsuits, thus as a result, in male cast members cases, their genitals would be bunched up against the material, creating embarassing scenes like the one posted

However, late in the film Stephen Collins (Decker) gets a two piece constume like the rest of the senior staff
 
Would body paint not have been easier?

As for the original question, ask your parents. I'd say they need to sit you down for a long talk :guffaw::guffaw::guffaw:

Oh my. I thought this was going to be some sort of "did you see the thingy they put on the wall" or "look at the visual effects goof" thread. I had no idea it was going to be a peepee post. :rommie:

And no matter how many times I see this scene my eyes always go to the same place, Collin's wonky right eye. I swear it looks like he is trying to see the end of his nose.

Better yet, I'll ask my husband ;)

The image made me laugh, I thought I'd share lol

It's trying to find something else to stare at besides Shatner's 'fourth wall' >.>

They should have sewn in unnoticeable cups or little baggies or something.

...You know, if they got rid of that silly biometer device on the stomach, added some color to the insignia as on the epaulets on the shoulders, and let the sleeves end more abruptly, TNG style, it wouldn't be as bad. Collins may have needed to work on his skinny legs a bit more but...the uniform isn't that bad. You just have to keep looking at it for 20 years.
 
All that uniform needed was a proper support undergarment. I know those uniforms were later modified and reused as the enlisted uniforms for TWOK...
 
^ Nothing to snag? I guess they were so busy worrying about snagging stuff on the outside they forgot the stuff they would snag on the inside. :rommie:


But I have to agree. The TMP uniforms are horrible. The unitard is salvageable but I believe the two piece has possibilities if they were made from different materials and colors. A dark charcoal grey or navy gabardine would completely changed the style and look from pajamas to work suit. I would also add an undershirt similar to Spock's, box the sleeve cuffs and change the belt monitor to something with a lower profile. And the "burlap" used for the EV coats has to go.

^I like how the eva coats harkened back to the original pilot. Which in turn were echo'd in the WOK uniforms.
