They’re foreshadowing the styles and colors of the TOS uniforms. ---

She’s still wearing pants though. ---

She probably wouldn’t mind the miniskirts, given the kind of pajamas she (barely) wears. ---

You know the outfit I really like? The white away team suit. _That_ needs to be her new uniform. Hoshi shouldn’t wear one at all. ---

[Spock. Help me, Spock.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=205272) I’ve decided to try linking to new threads instead of blatantly hijacking Trek threads (even tho all real Trek Dopers expect, even welcome, the hijicks). :dubious: ---

Hey y’all. Would have posted earlier but I was spending a much-deserved week-long vacation in Chicago with my lovely wife. Forgive me for dragging this thread back to the original subject (not that I don’t enjoy _Quantum Leap_), but I’ve got a couple of nitpicks: > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by NoClueBoy \* > **The Xindi, figured that Humans wipe them out in the future, so they atttack Earth and kill Tripp’s sister.** …And, uh, several million other people as well. It’s not like the Xindi came all the way to Earth just to kill Trip’s sister. That would be silly. It strains credibility for a mysterious ultra-powerful force to obsessively focus their efforts on one insignificant human… uh… never mind. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dalovindj \* > **…Shatner goes ballistic on a bunch of fans asking him really specific questions. Questions like "In episode 134, what was the combination to the safe?"** What-what- **what**? What kind of Trekker are you? Every good _Enterprise_-lovin’ fanboy knows that Shatner’s original series only lasted seventy-… uh… seventy… well, seventy-something. I _do_ know at least it weren’t no one hundred and thirty four! 😉 Oh, and y’know what that clip of T’Pol’s new outfit makes me think of? …_Galaxy Quest._ The laughably cheap original show whose flashback clips began the movie. Needless to say, that is _not_ a good comparison. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do about the upcoming season. I’ll probably tune in for the premiere, but I’m not feeling very generous. I’ve found watching the show to be rather enervating, and occasionally infuriating, because what’s wrong with it is so obvious, and I don’t enjoy seeing so much money and talent being wasted on such a pointless… well, enterprise. I think I’ll keep them on a short leash, and if it looks like more of the same, I’m outtahere. Well, not _here_, exactly, because these threads are so entertaining; I just wouldn’t be watching the show. I admit, it’d be weird reading about shows I haven’t seen, with nothing to contribute except the occasional, “I _told_ you so! Didn’t I tell you so? And guess what _I_ did with my free Wednesday! I went _rollerblading!_ And then I got a hooker and spread marmalade all over her Hoshis.” I know we all hope it doesn’t come to that. ---

Seventy-nine. Even as a hater of all things TOS, I knew that. Give us your pointed ears… you’re a disgrace. ---

I don’t know **Aes** Even those of us who feel that TOS had some pretty good points generally also acknowledge that some of the episodes toward the end of the last season were _so_ abysmal that they make [_Automan_](http://www.imdb.com/Title?0084978) look like classic sci-fi in comparison (remember that one, kids?). I believe that some Trekkers have tried to deny their very exestance. I think that’s where the confusion as to the total number comes in. ---
