You do realize that it was actually Nichelle Nichols and Grace Lee Whitney who pushed for the Starfleet mini skirt uniforms, right?
Originally they were all going to be wearing pants like they did in the original pilot episode of The Cage.

So apparently Carol Kane's claiming that Pelia is thousands of years old: https://trekmovie.com/2023/06/21/ca...ner-on-lanthanites-and-just-how-old-pelia-is/
I don't think we've had lifespans this absurd since Bele claimed he chased Lokai for 50,000 Earth years in 'Let that be your last battlefield' (admittedly if we put Pelia at 2,000 it's still better)
Of coure everyone's wondering if there's a Flint connection. Maybe Pelia will claim to be Helen of Troy and Cleopatra

We've saw both men and women wearing the skirt uniform in Season 1. There were episodes where a character wore the skirt, and episodes where they didn't. Seems to be a personal choice what they want to wear that day.

"She's a beauty. With a good crew."
Expression of what? Random nonsense? Racism? Telling people they're wrong for liking a certain color? Wasting resources on unnecessary items to keep up appearances? Nothing about that sounds enlightened.
Basically. It's all about projecting a narrow minded body image, not to mention the waste and other problematic social implications.
True but women are choosing to do that now in civilian situations, not being forced to by a space-based military-like force.
Whut???
It's just valden trying to control women's bodies again. No different from when he said Celia Rose Gooding is insufficiently feminine and needed to grow longer hair. Valden wants to enforce his idea of gender roles on women.
It would make sense, anyways, for younger Uhura fresh out of the Academy to have a different haircut. It shouldn't BE Nichelle Nichols' hairstyle from 1967 or 1968. Uhura is barely twenty and a different person without all the experiences she's going to have with Pike and Kirk. Her appearance should reflect that.
Wow this thread is getting ugly, especially with the accusations flying of -isms or other. And I certainly would not venture to accuse someone of trying to "control women's bodies" unless I had like 300% evidence because if you're wrong that's literally defamation on a public website.
Some people may not find Uhura's hairstyle personally attractive. Tons of women have made it clear in my real life they don't find my wimpy physique attractive, and I accept that and acknowledge I should do better (admittedly various health issues outside of my job don't make it that easy but I acknowledge that people find my looks as a shortcoming). I do not accuse these women of trying to control my body, and would rightfully be called out as being defamatory and out of line if I said such a thing.

Someone complaining about outfits not being 'feminine' enough sounds controlling or perhaps more accurately stereotyping.
also if people are body shaming you that's not ok for them to do either. Doesn't mean these actresses need to be a certain type.
You forget Flint from TOS S3 Requiem For MethuselahSo apparently Carol Kane's claiming that Pelia is thousands of years old: https://trekmovie.com/2023/06/21/ca...ner-on-lanthanites-and-just-how-old-pelia-is/

There was also the sentient energy-being psychopath from TOS S2 Wolf In The Fold, that claimed it had existed before the dawn of time, and would exist beyond Time's end. (Who was ultimately killed by Kirk & Co after being dispersed by the Transporter.)
I'm a little skeptical of yet another alien race which looks exactly like a human. Q is a highly advanced entity whose real form is unknowable (IIRC) so that's fine but then we had a few in TOS, the Betazoids, the El-Aurians, and the Illyrians, and now this one. I realize this is probably necessary but still, it's a bit disappointing.
that said, I'm curious to see the lore of Pelia's species.

Oh, I got used to that half-way through the first year of TOS.
I mean, it's not like gluing a few pieces of rubber on someone's face makes them look like they're from another planet.
I'm not big on overusing basic rubber forehead alien designs (despite liking Bajorans and Trills) but at least it's something more than whatever the heck Betazoids are. I need stuff like Cardassians, Jem'hadar, Ferengi, Bolians, etc., actual aliens.
Indeed. I actually preferred the random human colonies to the random forehead humanoid configuration of the week.
to be fair, Betazoid didn't look exactly like humans, they look like humans with black contact lenses
