Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x05 – “Series Acclimation Mil”

[Turtletrekker]

For the first time in the history of ever I'm sad that I don't have an Instagram account.

 

[Set Harth]

My days of never being sad that I don't have an Instagram account have come to a middle.

 

[Enterprise1701]

I spend little time on Instagram these days because I am too disappointed how Zuckerberg has destroyed so many useful features since the good old days.

 

[Nerys Myk]

SAM will probably adopt Sisko's last name.

And the middle name "Fran."

What makes TOS clothes futuristic?

Ill mention a civilian piece.


They heavily modified things they bought off the rack. So for instance the character of samuel t cogley is wearing what looks the a wool suit with bell bottom legs. The suit is modified to have no buttons or zippers. They pockets added as well as leather straps. The suit is meant to evoke a man who is more into old fashioned style(remember he liked books but not computers) but not so old fashioned where he wears an old suit. So hes wearing a futuristic classic suit. Brown and drab with a material that looks like wool but at the same time it evokes the future he lives in hence no buttons or zippers. But he still has pockets.

That one example is of the wardrobe department being aware that its the future so they modified the suit but not too much as we know cogley is old fashioned.

SAM will probably adopt Sisko's last name.

I get that reference. Lol

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

It wasn't intended as a reference - adopting a surname in honor of someone who inspired her and in her quest to be "Human".

And yet I can still see 60s fashion off the rack in the show too. So the rules, as noted are not properly followed.

"People in new Star Trek wear stupid clothes that make no sense hundreds of years from now!"

The People:

People in the future will not use slang as we do.


The people: Hey, brother.

Here's a useful tip: if you want to find episodes that break the rules, look for the bad ones.

 

[Eckauskas]

Feels like this episode is a bit like Indiana Jones, when you realise he's not integral to the plot in any way.

Doing an episode about the fate of Benjamin Sisko, only to end (essentially) with "fuck knows" feels like an enormous waste of time.

Are we still trying to say that TOS doesn't look like the Sixties? The show with miniskirts, beehive hairdos and calf length boots?

If that was actually what the episode was about, you might have a point. But it's not.

The Motion Picture.

 

[Eckauskas]

If that was actually what the episode was about, you might have a point. But it's not.

So the episode doesn't lean heavily on what happened to Sisko when he disappeared then?

The discomfort of many Trekkies with ambiguity is sometimes draining.

a bunch of good episodes have also broken the 'rules'.
