Might as well make Mankind's Mr. Socko its own species

You can tell the difference between the 50 species by their hats.

Or face tattoos.

that's not what Janeway said.
ummthatguy@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 184d
The Janeway doesn't discriminate. She's open to murder of all types.

except that one time, when it would have actually been appropriate.

Or one very minor prosthetic on their face

Chakotay wasn't an alien though..

Just an excuse to post that gif is all.

The Ornithoids may have been lazy pipe cleaner puppets, but I really like them and how alien their design is
ummthatguy@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 184d
They get points for actual creativity in the face of a micro budget.

Don't forget the Cardassians. Whomever designed them never had to look over their shoulder to change lanes on the 405.

Or Tim Burton's Batman costume. Keaton can't turn his head, he have to pivot at the waist

Can’t remember which film but doesn’t Bale complain to Fox about the lack of mobility at some point?

Tbh the simplistic props and extremely basic CGI is arguably what gives TOS its charm, it feels almost like a play with hand crafted props that are clearly props. It makes the series feel more lighthearted and silly (in a good way).
ummthatguy@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 184d
Absolutely. I'm just taking the piss out of the series. We're here to love and celebrate (and have semantic arguments about) Trek... warts and all.

I NEED this for the season 4 muppet episode!
negativenull@piefed.world · 4 pts · 184d
Yep Yep Yep!!!!
That's would be awesome!

All the "aliens of the week" in Voyager

The episode "Harry Kim Gets Some"
Janeway puts the kibosh on that shit quick.

Whoopi was an alien? Damn I just thought she was some wise lady...
ummthatguy@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 183d
She's El-Aurian, a species that lives for several centuries with some mystical timey-whimey perception that's never really explained.

How about the tng episode when the "aliens" were just black people?
ummthatguy@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 183d
Um, yeah... We generally try to forget such an episode ever made it through production. As well as planet Ireland and the last episodes of both TOS and ENT.

I call foul 3 of 4 examples are from TOS when they had a shoestring budget 😆
