considerably less obvious
News Brent Spiner Returned for "Picard" (and you could do the CGI better in 15 minutes, we get it)
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
And the TNG and First Contact uniforms in Picard look a little bit like uniforms you see at conventions. They are not accurate and don't fit very well.
On the other hand I'm glad that they did not redesign them. The "visual canon" of TNG is still alive. Ten Forward looks great btw. they even used identical chairs.

Let's see how the rest of the VFX are before we judge them
I think most of the VFX will look great.

I have to agree, the Uniform's look a bit on the Cosplay side. at the end of the day, as a fan though, regardless of what doesn't look quite right, it is definitely a thrill to see Brent back in makeup as Data, and onscreen with Patrick/Picard.
Is there a better version of this somewhere?
I like the faint audio from Blue Skies playing in the background. "Never saw the sun..."
[Edit: Okay, in the longer scene it's not remotely subtle.]
But I don't like that Data looks like Steven Seagal at a Star Trek convention. All that digital tinkering and no one thought to slim down his neck a bit? The close-ups look good, but the hairline in the wide shots is very distracting.

I think the first close up looks the best.
They look accurate to me.
Accurate-ish. It seems to be made from a different material, which is maybe why it looks a little baggier. The material is less stiff.
I think it's more likely to help hide Brent's 70 year old neck, and if his neck isn't onscreen, they done have to worry about smoothing the skin on it, or turkey neck reduction,
Let's maybe not be too harsh about the First Contact style uniform here. After all:

I remember the moment I first saw this... experiment. What were they thinking? To differenciate the Sisko from his crew? Was it supposed to look more formal? I dunno but thanks to the prophets it was a one timer.
He had it like that for two eps.
Oh, is that right? But consecutive episodes or in s6 or 7? I did not remember that.
