So I have been seeing tos reruns and im just boggled by the skirts. Its like anime fan service as you get glimpses of starfleet standard issue panties. Im sitting here thinking. How did I not notice how short they were as a young boy growing up. Like I knew you saw a lot of leg and they were short but feels like wow seeing it now. My best guess is given broadcast resolution back in the day and having a tv under 20 inches and the fuzzyness of analogue rabit ears. Maybe it was not so noticable. Now im seeing it though on HD broadcast to a 90 inch screen and its like. yowzaa!! Seriously its like a live action anime.
Important to remember that allowing women to be sexy and own their own bodies and their own sexiness and wear miniskirts was still a sign of feminist liberation in the 1960s.
I am just mad we only see like one dude wearing it in TNG.
My fucking favorite part of the early tng seasons. More men need to rock the skant. Props to boims for trying to keep it alive (also great that lower decks made it canonical that it was still an option at that time)
Hey I have no problem with it. Its more that it dawned on my that low resolution and rabbit ears made it less obvious. Also that its so anime. I mean I love fan service.
I think it’d be more appropriate to call this phenomenon in anime “so Star Trek” considering this show came out 60 years ago.
good point.
Don’t worry I didn’t interpret it that way. I remember having the same jarring experience with the Blu Rays.
