/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

So in the same context it would be like meeting a modern day psychiatrist or professional negotiator dressed in medieval dress wear
It'd be like a modern day executive wearing cufflinks.
We've had buttons for a long time, some people are just hipsters.
But also, Star Trek has a long history of justifying contemporary-looking people as a fashion choice. I've always remembered this one thing from one of the novels where they imply that they can easily keep everybody thin and fit indefinitely, but admirals like to get a bit pudgy on purpose because it makes them look stately.
And also makes casting and wardrobe choices a lot simpler, but I don't think the book said that.
Great point ... this is what I love about Trek and all the intricate details that so many people know
There are quite a few examples of this actually happening. I've already mentioned neckties, but perhaps a better equivalent would be high-heels. Once worn by men as functional riding shoes, they've now entirely lost that use and are worn by women solely as a fashion item.
Someone needs to put this show idea into production immediately!
