So they have pages each for zips, velcro, laces and buttons. They need one for the poor bus seat that was massacred to make an outfit for jake sisko

Physical PADDs and tricorders? What happened to the Tricom?

 

[TRON JA307020]

Oh heavens, Starfleet included buttons, too! What is this, the goddamn dark ages?!

Talking zippers. Not buttons. Also talking the tv shows here as well.

 

[Turtletrekker]

I could have sworn those goal posts were here a minute ago.

Never mentioned buttons.

 

[Turtletrekker]

So, zippers should be obsolete but not buttons. Gotcha.

 

[Firebird]

We were expressly talking the 23rd and 24th centuries, not TV versus movies. Let's leave those goalposts where they're at, mm'kay?

Oh boy..

Illogical. Completely illogical as buttons predate zippers.

Glenn Hetrick gave interviews you know...

In that one he literally says "let's plant the flag" and then goes on to talking about how they were "cleaning up lines" and doing it the way "they" would have done it in the past if they had more time.

Even without him directly stating it though, we have the evidence of multiple "modern" productions to look at with Picard, Strange New Worlds, and Discovery. And those makeup "updates" only exist in the show who's makeups he is in charge of.

Like seriously, it's hilarious how different the Strange New World Orions were from the plastic faced Orion's of Discovery.

Okay, so where does he say it’s all ego-driven?

That was your original assertion.

Still waiting for a source on the DSC cast being in physical danger from on-set pyrotechnics. Any movement on that?

Right. They are going back to old technology from 900 years ago. But im sure the kurtzmsn fans will have an explanation. Lol

 

[ToddCam]

Can people not hint at spoilers here? I feel like I might have already been spoiled. Put your gags relating to spoilers behind spoiler tags too, please.

 

[Fateor]

They were pink instead of green? Or was it blue?

Make up must stand out differently to people hunting for it.

No, the Discovery Orions used full facial prosthetics.

And no, this one in particular was just easy to see because of how it effected the actors facial structures.

Physical PADDs and tricorders? What happened to the Tricom?

Probably an order from the network executives to stop wasting money on CGI when practical effects could do the same for a fraction of the cost.

I'm aware of how they did it.

I just didn't notice a problem with it.

Uh huh. What about the girl that's wearing a Letterman jacket. 1200 years from now theyll still be making those? Lol. Lazy costuming for sure.

What about it? Japan has used the kimono for over 1,200 years since the Heian period. Pants were first invented 3,000 years ago. Socks have been around 1,600 years.

Truly advanced civilizations will revert to using togas. That's just science.

 

[Guy Gardener]

They were blue in Lower Decks, because someone fucked up at Filmation in the 70s where they were also Blue, because one of the boys in charge was colour blind

Q said that clothing is redundant once you can control climate.
