How about the tng episode when the “aliens” were just black people?
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.
Whoopi was an alien? Damn I just thought she was some wise lady…
She’s El-Aurian, a species that lives for several centuries with some mystical timey-whimey perception that’s never really explained.
Tribbles…
I call foul 3 of 4 examples are from TOS when they had a shoestring budget 😆
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).
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!
Yep Yep Yep!!!
That’s would be awesome!
The Ornithoids may have been lazy pipe cleaner puppets, but I really like them and how alien their design is
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?
You can tell the difference between the 50 species by their hats.
Or face tattoos.
Chakotay wasn’t an alien though…
Just an excuse to post that gif is all.
Fair enough
that’s not what Janeway said.
The Janeway doesn’t discriminate. She’s open to murder of all types.
except that one time, when it would have actually been appropriate.
All the “aliens of the week” in Voyager
The episode “Harry Kim Gets Some”
Janeway puts the kibosh on that shit quick.
