If everyone on Star Trek: TNG wore the same uniform as Counselor Troi

I heard once that boxers have to agree if their opponent can have a beard - just in case it offers some protection.

I have absolutely no idea of this is true. But I like to believe it is.

Wait a minute…

These inflatable trousers are weird and cool

It can always be worse. Would you like to look like something found in the dog park? [Screenshot_20200226-120835_Samsung Internet]

Yah, Berman being the absolute worst seems to be the most plausible reason

arg. the cognitive dissonance i had when reading your post leads me to wonder… is “michael burnham” a portmanteau of producers michael piller and rick berman?

And Dwarven women have beards.

[Brainspore]

Yeah, but we never actually got to see Dwarven women on film. And people STILL made a big deal about the beards.

I want to see:

1. A Star Trek planet where women are conventionally attractive by modern human standards of beauty with the one exception of having prominent facial hair
2. Nobody calls attention to this during the course of the episode
3. Riker (or whoever) must make out with at least one mustachioed alien babe during the course of the episode

NOTE: I will settle for a “Mirror Universe” episode.

It’s something about Bryan Singer and pricking isn’t it

@Brainspore

women were supposed to be the physically larger/more “masculine” sex

And yet, somehow their hairstyles were all gender appropriate to late twentieth century North American Earth. Odd.

I believe an episode of Sliders had that.

Not to mention “black rubber onesie that recycles moisture from poo.”

Knowing that the suit is powered by airbladders in the boots makes that sound even more disgusting.

squish, squish.

“Hey baby, I’ve spent months traversing a desert in a rubber suit filled with my own bodily waste on a planet with no showers. Really locks in the freshness.”

I don’t think so, no. The show runner apparently likes to give women masculine names…

Thinking of the pregnant Fremen experience sure puts another spin on “water of life!”

[RickMycroft]

And the place when they finally open those suits is called a stench, right?

[Mangochin]

This is cute!

[Brainspore]

The real test of Fremen water discipline is who can keep their eyes from tearing up when their brethren unzip those things.

If I’m remembering correctly, Gates McFadden was changing her hairstyle so frequently in real life that it was giving the continuity folks serious grief.

I heard that they wrote a wig into her contract for a few seasons…
