/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.

That wasn't an attempt at sexiness, that was an attempt at making a movie while doing all the drugs.
Lol Zardoz was ahead of its time!
The sexiness was just a very happy accident.
Ugh, I hate it when the nuts overlap the seam...
That's called a moose knuckle. You're welcome.
That, my friend, is a moose knuckle.
Camel tail
He looks quite a bit like a young Martin Short, if you look up for a moment.
It was really pushing the limits at the time.
It really wasn't. You could turn on MTV any time of day and see sexier outfits than that.
Or even Soul Train.
This was broadcast tv rather than cable. That’s a more restrictive set of rules. Cable only channels could show more.
It was broadcast weirdly.. It and DS9 were some of the last major shows to be in 1st-run syndication, so every market had it on a different time slot and channel as opposed to network shows. Paramount made the show, and they didn't have a network and no network wanted to buy the sequel to an old 60s TV show that had been canceled early. It probably saved the franchise, since the first few seasons were God-awful, but it was up aired in time slots usually used for a movie-of-the-week or reruns of old programs.
But then Paramount launched their own broadcast network. Voyager's pilot was the first thing UPN aired, and the show franchise stayed with UPN throughout Voyager and Enterprise's runs. After Enterprise went off the air, so did UPN. They mentioned with the WB network to form the CW.
1st run syndication kinda went away with the explosion of cable in the 90s and 2000s. That's when TNT, Scifi, Comedy Central, and other basic cable channels started getting stronger original programs.
Then streaming came along.
Man, it takes balls to wear that outfit.
Or insanity, you can clearly see the nuts
He's doing some great acting, that shit must be uncomfortable as fuck.
I promise that she is even more uncomfortable. That shit is digging deep
The '80s were strange. But I remember watching this when it originally aired and the costumes in this episode were pretty extra even for the time.

One of many reasons the 2380s will look back upon this post with disdain.
Edit: Okay, apparently I was far too subtle trying to point out that a man can be trans. Just me being woke SJW in TenForward I guess 🤷
If that's what we have to look forward to in the future, there is no way I'm becoming a country singer who gets cryogenically frozen on a spaceship for 300 years.
Meanwhile, as the aliens slowly and painfully saw themselves in half vertically from the crotch up, Q looks on from the softness of knit.
Idk, I’m kinda into it.
My main issue with this is that the bottoms are too tight.
Far be it for me to judge an alien race's fashion, but that does not look comfortable.
The tops aren't particularly great either, though I like the "design" of the female version better than the one that guy is wearing.... "Like" is probably too strong of a term.
In every case, the first few seasons of TNG had it's problems. This episode was one of them. A society where the only punishment was death? What the actual fuck?
Good news, when they aren’t being executed they are free to jog and fuck all day long

Sci-Fi loves taking real world things to extremes. In the US cattle rustling (stealing) was punishable by hanging for a very long time.
Picard's actions were terribly written too. He kidnapped a woman from the planet and brought her up to the ship with her god on it to confirm she worshiped it and it terrified her.
I like to imagine what went down in the casting office for this episode.
"Yeah, yeah. She's fine, lets show off that belly button to prove she had a mom. But him... Let's give the world an anatomy lesson with him." Then the rest of the room erupts into wolf-whistles and lewd comments.
I genuinely worry about the people who find either of those outfits titillating.
Yeah, not enough neon and mesh for what we found attractive in the 80s.
None of those were "sexy" outfits though.
