The TAS-era Kzinti, relentless, refuse to concede their 1970s hot pink and purple to any Earther

What can I say, all that pink and purple just seems to be meant to be together.
Credit again to Trek Core for their excellent TAS BlueRay screencap library.
Editing to add: love Barbie, pleased to see the movie out earning most of the comic heroes, always glad that TAS and Prodigy make themselves appealing across genders.
I absolutely agree that it's fun that Niven sort of mixed "his world" with Star Trek. Why would writers have to keep their realities separate? Combining them is like expanding both with each other
Well, in bringing the Kzinti into Star Trek, Niven has enabled other writers ‘to play with his toys.’
Many novel writers aren’t really comfortable doing this, even if they get downstream royalties/residuals when their creations are used again. Niven by contrast seems to be fine.
