Fashion It So: First Contact - 4.15 →
scelerific:
This might be confusing for a second, but this post is not about the Star Trek movie subtitled “First Contact,” but rather an episode in the fourth season, about a planet that is right on the verge of warp technology, which means they’re almost ready to join the Federation! If they want to, that…
The single most disappointing thing about this particular blog entry is that there...
The Outcast - 5.17
**NOTE: IF FOR SOME REASON YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT ME SPOILING THE EPISODE, GO WATCH IT FIRST AND THEN COME BACK, BECAUSE I SPOIL IT IN THE VERY NEXT SENTENCE (I don’t know why you’d be here if you were worried about that, but I’m a spoilerphobe, and want to make sure I cover my bases).**
The summary from Star Trek wiki Memory Alpha for this episode reads like this:...

Haven - 1.11
From a chat dated 12/27/11:
Charlie: so that episode that is in your TNG zine, Haven, i was gonna do that one, but then i saw it’s the first Luxwana ep, and i didn’t know if you, like, wanted it Anna: oooOOOOooohhhh Charlie: since you and luxwana have a thing together Anna: you can do it if you want but spell her name right THAT’S ALL I’M SAYING Charlie: i mean ...
welcome to The Wardrobe Room
thewardroberoom:
Inspired by the amazing Fashion it So, we’re here to bring you the very finest in ridiculous shit people wear in the future. And the past, and everywhere in between. Up first: Castrovalva!
I imagine some of you fashionable Trekkers are also fashionable Whovians, so check out The Wardrobe Room (which I assume is a Doctor Who reference that I don’t understand because...
The High Ground - 3.12
Another week, another non-federation world that’s having some sort of internal conflict that the Enterprise shouldn’t-but-can’t-help-but get involved in. I’ve actually spent the last couple of minutes before I began this post trying to figure out how the title of this episode fits in, and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t. Literally no one in this episode has the high...
Masks - 7.17
I’ve been having a bit of a poor streak with TNG eps here. “Masks” was so close to the end of the series that I thought we’d have to have a nice mixture of sophisticated plot and a couple of interesting (if not totally bananas) fashions, but WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS. As we’ve said before, for plot points you can’t go wrong with Zach Handlen’s extensive review...

Samaritan Snare - 2.17
Listen, we’re all here because we know and love the beauty and wonder that is Star Trek: TNG. But not every at-bat is a home run (oh wait, using a sports metaphor here might be like trying to let musical theater fans know that a show they might be interested in will be premiering the monday after the super bowl… anyway). Maybe better I quote Scully in the X-Files episode where Peter...
Journey's End - 7.20
This seventh-season espisode serves as a bookend for this first-season one, so you might want to brush up real quick on that. We can wait.
Okay, so we’ve got two things going on in this episode: first, the Cardassians are taking control of some planets, one of which is inhabited by some Native Americans. (That is the term that Starfleet uses. They never mention a tribe.) The Native...

Tim Gunn on Star Trek Fashion! →

sttngfashion:
On the famous uniform miniskirts: “The equivalent would be to put all the guys in thongs. Let’s just seduce each other during space travel.”
Wait, is that not what everyone was already doing?
Yeah, I don’t think Tim Gunn has actually watched this show.
Or seen the guys in miniskirts in TNG.
For real. Those male miniskirts basically negate...

Manhunt - 2.19
Many moons ago, we covered a little episode called Half A Life, featuring Lwaxana Troi and also Cogsworth. In that episode, Lwaxana held up a dress as an option for a date and decided against it. What I said at the time was:
The fact that she holds this dress up to see if she wants to wear it but DOES NOT IN FACT WEAR IT is one of the great disappointments of my life. If ONLY we had gotten to see...
Attached – 7.02
Man, it feels like the ENTIRE seventh season is devoted to the Enterprise visiting non-Federation worlds with the most boring fashion sense in the Alpha Quadrant. I’d give them a hard time, but then I have to remember that I now live in a place where the nearest Urban Outfitters is 2.5 hours away in a city that’s named after a President who served both terms with two bullets lodged in...

Who Watches the Watchers? - 3.04
Who watches them… INDEED?! Fortunately (or sadly, if you’re into that sort of thing) this ended up NOT being some sort of Watchmen inspired episode (if you want to really have your mind blown, try considering the fact that this episode aired not two years after the last issue of The Watchmen hit the stands), but rather, another feather in the Prime Directive’s hat. Can we just...
Happy 45th Birthday, Star Trek!
Holy Isolinear Chips! How did I not know that Star Trek: TOS premiered ON MY BIRTHDAY in 1966??? Thanks to Space.com for putting together this fashionable infographic (and to thedailywh.at for finding it for us):

Booby Trap - 3.6
This episode opens with Geordi on a date. Aw, Geordi. Your lack of prowess with the ladies is well-documented. And it’s not like you don’t try. I mean, just look at this holodeck program!
Also, look at that sassy knee pop
Geordi, it seems, is on a date with the lady from Doc Hollywood (which also features David Ogden Stiers, who was ALSO on an episode of TNG. TNG IS EVERYTHING, YOU...

Datalore - 1.12
I was inspired by Anna’s goldmine of unearthed season one episodes that I delved into an episode that introduces one of the characters that actually terrified me as a child: Data’s twin brother Lore. What I wasn’t prepared for was that there was a whole fucking backstory that I had never known about, probably because it’s terrible and doesn’t actually make sense. I...

3.22 - The Most Toys
I don’t know if we have a policy about log-rolling, but real quick before we dive in, this post is dedicated to my beloved co-blogger Anna Marquardt and her merry band of theater peeps who are THIS VERY EVEN’ opening a show in the New York International Fringe Festival, The Bobbed-Haired Bandit. If you’re in NYC, you should DEFINITELY check it out! Dates, times, locales, and more...

Angel One - 1.14
Oh, first season. I literally do not understand how you got made at all, much less were allowed to stay on television. I mean, THANK GOD you did, but let’s be real: YOU CRAZY. In this bananas episode, the crew goes searching for some lost guys on a planet run by women. Spoiler alert: there’s boning, and I don’t mean the kind in a corset.
But first, let’s address...

Welcome, Welcome!
We have had a great influx of new readers lately and while we’ll have something new up for you soon, I (Anna) wanted to give you a Greatest Hits-type post in case you were like “OH MAN there is so much TNG fashion I don’t know where to start!!!” These are some of my personal favorites.
The Inner Light: this episode is legit amazing regardless of the fashions but OMG SO...
