I try to avoid even reading the ai summaries in google, meanwhile it seems like everyone else is out there listening to ai generated music and using chat-gpt to pick a new haircut or plan a vacation. Am I like the people 25 years ago who used to print out emails and refuse to buy anything online?

[spock-fucks]

#contemporary scifi costuming is going to look painfully 2020's in a few years

Already does. In Star Trek Picard S2 when they went back in time to 2024, none of the characters had to change their outfits because their 25th century fashion was just like, normal jackets t-shirts and trousers in a variety of black, grey and brown fabrics. A stark contrast to early TNG, where - while everything looked painfully 80's - the non-uniform attire was all fun shapes and textures that didn't actually resemble off the shelf clothes as far as I'm aware*

*(I say this because i missed the 80's by a couple of years)

I wrote my thesis in fashion school about scifi in the 60s (with 1/3rd being dedicated to TOS), and the amazing TOS outfits are thanks to William Theiss who managed to use the extremely limited budget they had to make amazing costumes, using things like cheap table decoration and tacky 60s decor to craft insanely cool scifi outfits

Even the uniforms are AMAZING from a tailor perspective!

They didn't want ugly zippers to show so the closures of the uniforms are in the seam of the raglan sleeve!!!!

In all the new adaptations they are lazy and don't do raglan and put the zippers in the back and it looks shit

Not even to mention the incredible lines of the womens uniforms!!!

Like look how smartly the lines for the pattern go, to not just have boring darts in places! These costumes STILL look futuristic!

You could not even see this on 1960s TVs!

I'm feral about this btw

[calendae-creations]

I don't have the dress or the book with me, but years ago I used the pattern in one of the early Starfleet Manual books to make a skant. At first, the weird retrofuturistic pattern piece shapes were kinda hard to wrap my mind around. But the more I worked on it, the more I came to appreciate not just the commitment to creating a fresh new aesthetic, but also the practicality of it! The way the pieces are shaped makes it pretty easy to adjust the pattern to fit different proportions as needed

I felt like such an old person when confronted with the digital menu at a drive-thru today. I didn’t see what I wanted and it kept changing so eventually I just said never mind and drove away 😕

I think homeownership is just constantly trying to keep nature from getting inside. Now that it’s spring, I’m dealing with ants, wasps and starlings who think that my home is their home.

[100pizzas]

actually, homeownership is just calling tradespeople and waiting for them to get back to you. then you wait for them to actually show up at your house at the appointed time.

May I have your attentions please!!

Jean-Luc Picard and his little outfits.

That’s all, thank you

[xchronicles]

Does anyone else feel like... that's it for Janeway and Chakotay. No new novels, no new shows, no more comics (than god cause what the fuck was that), no anything. The actors are getting older and older and Star Trek about to go dark soon thanks to the new evil overlords. Feels kinda sad man ngl

the more i watch star trek tos, the more it becomes abundantly clear that the reason why modern trek doesnt get kirk at all is because they dont utilise mccoy nearly as much anymore

in modern trek, they always present the idea of logic vs emotion, with spock being logic and kirk being emotion, but thats not how tos has it. in tos, the logic vs emption debate is spock vs mccoy. kirk is supposed to be the mediator between the two, sometimes siding with one side over the other, sometimes finding a middle ground between the two. thats why hes the captain, hes able to see all angles and pick the best course

when you make kirk the emotional one, it completely breaks the format, because 9 time out of 10, it means kirk has to be correct. theres no more balance

mccoy is just as important to tos as spock is, and while i do understand why spock is as popular as he is, without mccoy, the show doesnt work. you need them both. kirk spock and mccoy are the three leads of the show, and removing one requires you to change the others, which is whats happened to kirk

[trek-tracks]

I have been saying this for approximately 400 years, thank you.

When I teach rhetoric in my college essay writing/analysis course, it's always with the example of Kirk, Spock, AND McCoy. Ethos, Logos, Pathos--you need all three. Kirk isn't the counterweight to Spock; he's the fulcrum that balances Spock and McCoy.

Kirk isn't emotion. Kirk is ethos: credibility, authority. Spock and McCoy are there to stop him from damaging that credibility by falling back on an authority he doesn't actually have in the situation, to remind him of the logic or compassion that's lacking when an abuse of power would be the easy or basely satisfying thing to do.

What keeps Kirk credible is that he usually chooses the most ethical thing to do based on the information he has; what makes him a good leader, outside of his own innate abilities, is his understanding that he requires these two trusted advisors to keep him on an even keel. When Kirk says "I need you" to both Spock AND Bones, he means it.

here's everything i know and think about william shatner. bill is the worst, bill is amazing. he is supremely cunty. he can ride a horse at full gallop, he lived in a trailer park post-star trek, starred in the most unimaginably bad b-movies. he wears the shit out of a toupe, speaks his lines in iambic pentameter and stole wigs from sets. bill is capable of very sensitive insight, but far better enjoys being the bull in the china shop. he is a campy, sentimental, pulpy director when they let him have the camera. he loved leonard nimoy. in a single scene he can simultaneously be the best and worst actor in the room. he has starred in one of the only espranto films in existence. he has been feuding with george takei for over 50 years. he has a controversial twitter which apparently he doesn't run. he went to space and he hated it. he won't autograph shit unless you pay for it. he was greenpeace save-the-whales guy. bill recorded an entire spoken-word record wacked out of his mind on weed. he appears self-obsessed. bill is the most complicated man to ever exist. everyone hates him everyone loves him. i do not always understand william shatner and i do not always like him, but i treasure him.
