Oh the pain when Ilia said, "Not Decker unit."

I thihnk zooba might make his own movie, "The Battle of the Buldges".


I expect next will be Bowie buldge via "Labyrinth", unless this is strictly Trek buldges.

I much prefer this to the Christmas sweater outfits they ushered in afterward.

To be perfectly honest, the hinted-at manhood seems much more egalitarian. Women get to (or have little choice but to) show off their assets via wardrobe. Why not men too?

It also doesn't seem likely that humanity would be more covered up two centuries from now. It's more likely that, for temperate climates at least, mankind will have ditched clothing altogether!

I don't particularly like either. TOS uniforms were the best.

Yes. Unlike all other figures, including super heroes, it enables children to be in their ST-pajamas and still look the original.
Wherever they went, they only wore that indoor outfit. No jacket, that was only for the Cage episode, just a sweater, pants and boots.

D.S.

I don't know if it's just me, but I tend to think the TMP costumes blended in with the set design. It was basically a shirtsleeve environment, except for the scenes outside the Enterprise and even then, Ilia maintained the TOS aspect of 60s minimalist glam-fashion. In fact, given that Wise was the director, it is interesting to gauge his choices in the film's overall look, which is indicative of a certain temperament.

Roddenberry wanted clothing that looked seamless and "sprayed on". The color pallet changed drastically for TMP because they thought the bright yellow, blues, and reds from the television series would be over powering on the big screen. Thus the reason for pastel hues and greyer sets. I never particular liked those changes and thankfully Nicholas Meyer brought a lot of color back into the fold with Wrath of Khan. Though here they opted for the opposite of pastels, and made the colors a darker hue.

To give credit where it's due, it was Robert Fletcher who did the costumes on ST:TMP.

He also re-designed them (in some cases simply soaking fabrics in a different color) for the second movie.


Blackman did do several Next Generation movies and a lot of modern Trek TV costumes.
