Star Trek Costume Guide - Obsessive Costuming Dude

The TNG-era Uniform Paradigm

Default image

  • January 15, 2022
  • General Star Trek costumes , TNG , TWOK

As an additional preface to my updated TNG costuming resources, I thought it would be interesting to discuss the broader paradigm of the TNG-era uniforms, as conceived and established by William Ware Theiss.

With today’s relatively wide cultural awareness of TNG – decades after its original televised run and numerous spinoffs later – I think there’s much we might now take for granted about these uniforms (and their successors) that at the time, required very calculated and intentional decisions.

This isn’t an examination of any one specific uniform, but more about why things were they way they were, conceptually – the ideology behind the TNG-era uniforms.

And from my outsider’s perspective, what I believe may have been going on in the minds of Gene Roddenberry and William Ware Theiss at the time.

THE ORIGINAL SERIES PARADIGM

“In the beginning, there was William Ware Theiss …”

– Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann

Star Trek Costumes: Five Decades of Fashion from the Final Frontier

Star Trek Costumes: Five Decades of Fashion from the Final Frontier

Twenty-odd years before The Next Generation , William Ware Theiss was the costume designer on The Original Series and the aborted Phase II .

Star Trek uniforms - The Original Series

From the precious little we’ve seen of Phase II , it seems clear that moving forward, Theiss had intended to closely adhere to the original uniforms and wardrobe paradigm he’d previously established.

Star Trek uniforms - The Lost Era

Between Phase II ’s abandonment and The Next Generation ’s launch, however, there had been four feature films starring the original cast, for which Robert Fletcher was the costume designer and Gene Roddenberry had had limited involvement.

Star Trek uniforms - Robert Fletcher

The conception and rocky initial production of TNG has been well-documented, which you can learn about via the TNG Blu-Ray special features and William Shatner’s Chaos on the Bridge , among other sources.

The gist of it is that Gene Roddenberry is said to have been unhappy with certain aspects of the TOS movies (and his lack of creative involvement with them) and had become notoriously protective of his franchise vision of the future.

Star Trek uniforms - Gene Roddenberry

Being back at the helm for the spinoff series – obsessed with what he believed Star Trek was and wasn’t, and with more creative control – it’s hardly surprising that he’d want to “round up” as much of the original team as possible, including William Ware Theiss.

Star Trek uniforms - Gene Roddenberry

For this new series, there would again be new Starfleet uniforms, and Theiss’ overall approach seems to have basically been to “pick up where he left off” with The Original Series and Phase II , almost entirely disregarding Robert Fletcher’s work on the movies.

(We’ll look at some of Fletcher’s costumes shortly, as well as some movie-era design elements Theiss decided to discard or incorporate into his TNG-era uniforms. I’ll also discuss why I believe Theiss chose the approach he did.)

The Starfleet uniform paradigm, as established by Theiss in The Original Series , included three division colors.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

For the movies, Robert Fletcher had considerably widened the palette of division colors and changed their associations.

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

For The Next Generation , Theiss disregarded Fletcher’s division colors and instead returned to his original three colors (albeit with the red and gold associations swapped).

Star Trek TNG uniforms

The TOS uniforms underwent considerable evolution over the show, but in all their incarnations Theiss had established the crew wearing a Starfleet emblem on their left chest.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

Robert Fletcher had adapted and modified this design element for the movie-era uniforms, and Theiss incorporated this idea into his TNG-era uniforms as well.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

In The Original Series , Theiss had also established several Starfleet uniform variants for specific crew members and occasions.

For example, the captain would have the option of wearing a more relaxed, semi-casual uniform that was distinctive from everyone else’s standard duty uniform.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

Although Theiss himself never explored this possibility with his initial TNG-era uniforms, costume designer Robert Blackman would later follow up on Theiss’ concept.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

Theiss also established that the ship’s doctor(s) would have an optional uniform variant.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

In The Next Generation , Theiss gave Dr. Crusher an optional lab coat to complement her standard duty uniform, and his immediate successor Durinda Rice Wood dressed Dr. Pulaski in her own series of medical smock variants.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

The Original Series also had the crew wearing formal uniforms for special occasions, and Theiss incorporated this concept into his TNG-era paradigm as well.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

Another of Theiss’ wardrobe choices was to often have background extras and “worker bees” dressed in coveralls, rather than standard duty uniforms.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

He integrated this idea into his TNG-era wardrobe too.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

THE MOVIE-ERA PARADIGM ... DISCARDED

Although Robert Fletcher created outstanding uniforms for the movies – several of which would go on to become fan-favorites, like the “monster maroons” – in doing so, he had largely disregarded William Ware Theiss’ work on The Original Series .

Color palette notwithstanding, one of the major ways Fletcher diverged from Theiss’ TOS paradigm was by significantly expanding the Starfleet uniform family to include more classes and variants.

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

This wider variety of uniform styles added more depth to the Star Trek universe, as well as more visual interest – something arguably needed after the bland and muted uniform colors from The Motion Picture .

One major uniform distinction Fletcher made was between commissioned officers and enlisted crew.

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

This was something we hadn’t seen in The Original Series .

Indeed, the very existence of enlisted crew members was a departure from the show.

Until I’d taken a closer look at TOS-era uniforms, my personal interpretation was that officers wore the standard duty uniforms and enlisted crew wore the aforementioned coveralls, but “Captain John Chase” of Starfleet.ca addressed the issue in this excellent blog post:

https://starfleet.ca/library/uniforms/enlisted_men/

Coveralls notwithstanding, in Theiss’ paradigm, you were either in Starfleet and wore the standard uniform, or you weren’t – very simple.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

Despite the existence of enlisted Starfleet personnel having been firmly established and enlisted crew having visually distinctive uniforms in the movies, Theiss returned to his original “uniform or nothing” paradigm for The Next Generation .

Star Trek TNG uniforms

Fletcher also dressed engineering crew members in heavy protective suits – visually implying how powerful and hazardous Starfleet engines could be, how committed Starfleet was to the safety of its crew, and perhaps how intense it could be to work next to a matter/anti-matter reactor that powered a starship.

Star Trek TMP uniforms

Theiss disregarded the protective engineering suits for TNG as well; engineers simply wore the standard duty uniforms.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

Hell, crew members regularly wore the “skants” within a stone’s throw of the warp core, so perhaps we can surmise that Starfleet had made great strides forward with the safety of its engineering sections over “The Lost Era.”

Star Trek TNG uniforms

Nor would Theiss ever dress a TNG-era Starfleet engineer in a vest akin to the one Fletcher designed for Scotty.

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

For the movie-era uniforms, Fletcher also gave medical personnel a specific uniform style that bore little resemblance to the standard duty uniforms, and which seemed to be less of a “variant” and more of a “class.”

Star Trek TMP uniforms

(Although Theiss had established possible medical variants for medical personnel in The Original Series , his medical uniform variants were stylistically much closer to the standard duty uniforms.)

Again though, Theiss returned to his tighter uniform paradigm for TNG; other than Dr. Crusher’s distinctive lab coat, medical personnel just wore standard Starfleet uniforms.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

Fletcher gave the movie-era Starfleet security helmets and armor …

Star Trek TMP uniforms

… which again, Theiss discarded.

Starfleet security officers marched right into God-knows-what with naught but a phaser and the spandex jumpsuits on their backs.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

In the movies, we also saw the crew members don various styles of “field uniforms,” including both jackets and vests.

Star Trek TMP uniforms

Even though Theiss himself had designed “landing party jackets” in the original TOS pilot, “The Cage,” he didn’t pursue the concept for TNG.

Characters would just go on away missions in the standard uniform; the most they’d ever bother to do would be to grab a tricorder and/or phaser, just like in TOS …

Star Trek TNG uniforms

… including some situations in which it would’ve been really handy to have some field supplies like food, water, first aid, basic tools, and other emergency supplies.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

And finally, Fletcher had introduced another semi-casual uniform option, in the form of a 23 rd -century “bomber jacket.”

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

Obviously Theiss chose to discard that idea as well.

I mean, I don’t really see this guy wearing a “bomber jacket” over his skant, do you?

Star Trek TNG uniforms

Why did Theiss so thoroughly discard Fletcher’s work for The Next Generation ?

Well, we can only speculate.

Personally, I believe there may have been several major factors.

First may be the purely practical issues of television vs. movie budget, and television vs. movie needs.

Movies have larger budgets, which allow for more elaborate costumes, and more of them. There are more extras, all of whom need to be costumed.

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

With more characters over a longer span of time on a giant theater screen, more visual interest is arguably needed … yet the costumes still have to bear scrutiny since they’ll be seen on such a huge screen.

On the other hand, one could argue that – at least in an era long before DVD, Blu-Ray, and streaming – TV costumes should be fairly homogenous and instantly-recognizable so the viewer and/or channel surfer immediately know what show is on.

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

And at the time TNG launched, the costumes only needed to withstand the scrutiny of real-time VHS quality on an 80s-era TV.

1980s TV

Not that Theiss or his successors ever “phoned it in” – it’s actually amazing just how well the TNG-era costumes hold up in remastered HD!

(From what little we saw in What We Left Behind , DS9’s costumes looked phenomenal in remastered HD!)

But today’s 4k binge-watching is an entirely different production and viewing experience, and the TNG uniforms didn’t need to be as ornate and intricately detailed as Fletcher’s movie-era uniforms.

Even if Roddenberry and/or Theiss wanted to (which I doubt), having an entire TV series’ worth of Fletcher’s uniforms may have been utterly impractical for budgetary reasons.

Second, Gene Roddenberry is said to have been displeased with the apparent militarization of Starfleet in the movies, which was reflected in the movie-era uniforms.

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

I believe one reason the TNG-era uniforms were so different from their movie-era predecessors was an attempt by Roddenberry to visually distance – or even disassociate – The Next Generation from the TOS movies as far as possible.

And third, it is my personal belief that Theiss may have felt slighted by Fletcher’s radically-different uniform designs and, after Phase II never made it off the ground, the success of the movies was salt in his wound …

After all, how would you feel if:

  • You were the original costume designer
  • Your show was cancelled, but then became enormously popular afterward and your uniform designs became iconic …
  • You were to be the costume designer on the new show, which was abandoned
  • The cast went on to do four movies without you, but with another costume designer who had largely disregarded your now-iconic work, and those movies were well-received and successful
  • The original producer (for whom the movies were also a sore spot) invited you back to design costumes on the new spinoff series

I know how I’d feel!

Artistic and budgetary differences aside, I believe these circumstances may have been a driving force in the mind of William Ware Theiss when conceptualizing his TNG-era uniforms.

In a nutshell, I believe Roddenberry’s apparent obsession with “recapturing” the essence of Star Trek , Theiss’ own design style being so different from Fletcher’s and his subsequent (possibly bitter) experience about the movies, and the simple budgetary limitations all shaped the decision-making process for TNG’s costume design.

MOVIE-ERA ELEMENTS INCORPORATED

Although William Ware Theiss almost entirely disregarded Robert Fletcher’s movie-era costume paradigm and designs, there were a few elements of Fletcher’s work that he kept and incorporated into TNG.

One tenant of the underlying philosophy for the TNG-era uniforms seems to be a better representation of gender equality than had been presented in The Original Series .

While perhaps progressive for its time, TOS showed us that women didn’t wear pants, told us women weren’t allowed to be starship captains, and generally had (what today might be regarded as) sexist overtones.

Despite being a flawed product of its time, I think most fans would probably agree that, at its best, Star Trek has always presented (or at least attempted to present) an optimistic future for humanity: free of racism, sexism, and bigotry of any kind, populated by people who respect each other, work for the common good of everyone, and accomplish great things together.

At its heart, Star Trek tried to show us a future in which all humans can simply “get along” without our current and historical preconceptions and biases against each other inhibiting us from reaching our full potential.

The issue of gender equality manifested in Roddenberry’s conceptions of The Next Generation .

Rather than populating the show with shallow women obsessed over physical beauty and mindlessly swooning over men – and dismissing ideas such as women not being allowed to be Starfleet captains – he created three female lead characters, all of whom were senior officers and two of them department chiefs.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

Theiss may have already been moving in that direction with the aborted Star Trek: Phase II ; it seems that by that time, female crew were finally permitted to wear pants with their Starfleet uniforms, as evidenced by the uniform trousers below (presumably for wear by Janice Rand):

Star Trek Phase II uniforms

I believe this was perhaps the first notable shift in the psychology of Theiss’ Starfleet uniform design.

(Women wearing pants to work may be a laughable given today, but at the time, this could be considered a significant step – however small – toward gender equality.)

Despite the Phase II uniforms having never made it on-screen and Theiss’ lack of involvement with the movies, Robert Fletcher’s uniform designs were generally unisex.

Star Trek uniforms - The Motion Picture

Furthermore, this psychology may have influenced Roddenberry and/or Theiss to create the now-infamous unisex “TNG skant” uniforms – but more on those shortly.

Unfortunately, the Starfleet insignia situation as seen in The Original Series had been something of a mess.

One could easily be forgiven for assuming that the triangular “arrowhead” emblem we now associate with Starfleet was unique to the Enterprise crew, and the wide variety of assignment patches seemed to indicate unique insignia for each ship, base, institute, etc.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

There appears to have even been confusion among the production team as to the original intent, as evidenced by this memo from producer Robert Justman to William Ware Theiss:

https://www.startrek.com/article/starfleet-insignia-explained

Star Trek TOS uniforms

In The Motion Picture , a circle was added behind the previous Enterprise emblem, and the patch color indicated the wearer’s division.

Star Trek TMP uniforms

The Motion Picture also introduced the notion of the Starfleet emblem being a separate metal (or metal-looking) pin attached to the garment.

Star Trek TMP uniforms

Although the design of the emblem was modified again, it was standardized for all Starfleet uniforms in The Wrath of Khan , and the notion of the badge being a separate metal pin (as opposed to a sew-on patch) was fully realized across the cast.

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

After Fletcher’s standardization of the chest badge and with a second chance at independently establishing consistency, it should be no surprise that Theiss incorporated a standardized metal Starfleet insignia onto his TNG-era uniforms.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

For the TWOK-era uniforms, Fletcher placed the wearer’s rank on the upper right shoulder strap.

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

Although for The Original Series uniforms Theiss had previously established the wearer’s rank with braid on the sleeves, for The Next Generation he adopted metal rank insignia and affixed it to the upper right area of the uniform.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

In The Motion Picture , Fletcher introduced a Starfleet uniform that was a skin-tight, jumbo spandex jumpsuit.

Star Trek TMP uniforms

Gene Roddenberry is said to have both favored the “sprayed on clothing” aesthetic and abhorred wrinkly costumes, and Theiss favored unstructured garments made with synthetic knit fabrics, so either one or both of them seem to have really latched onto this uniform concept.

The standard TNG-era uniforms were also skin-tight jumpsuits made of heavy jumbo spandex, although thankfully with the more modest areas blacked out.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

Theiss’ original Klingon costumes had usually included a baldric, which he gave to Worf for The Next Generation .

Star Trek TOS costumes - Klingon baldric

(Some believe it may have even been the same one.)

However, the Klingons had been given significant makeup and costume redesigns in the movies.

Star Trek costumes - movie Klingons

It was decided to maintain their movie-era “look” – including Fletcher’s Klingon costumes.

Star Trek costumes - TNG Klingons

I think this was a great call; reverting back to the TOS-era Klingon costumes and make-up would’ve been jarring and off-putting after what we’d seen in three of the four movies at that point.

(And in fact, Fletcher’s Klingon costumes would continue to be used throughout The Next Generation , Deep Space Nine , and Voyager , amassing far more screen time over their numerous television appearances than the movies for which he originally designed them.)

THEISS' AESTHETIC and DESIGN MOTIFS

Now that we’ve discussed the overall paradigm and possible psychological factors behind Theiss’ TNG-era costume designs, in this final section we’ll take a look at some specific ideas and influences that may have played a part in the conception of the show’s wardrobe.

For the third season of The Original Series , Theiss changed the standard uniforms to a double-knit fabric.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

The previous (woven) uniforms had proven problematic due to “shrinkage” over time and some members of the cast struggled with their weight, causing additional fitting issues.

This may have intensified Theiss’ aversion to structured uniforms and woven fabrics, and switching to the double-knit seems to have solved – or at least reduced – these issues.

I mention it as possible evidence that Theiss was already moving in the direction of knit fabrics for his Starfleet uniforms … hence all of his TNG-era uniforms being made with nylon jumbo spandex.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

Theiss had a singular style, and he seems to have revisited several of his design motifs from The Original Series .

He definitely seems to have enjoyed experimenting with asymmetry, which strongly manifested in his TNG-era uniforms.

Here are a couple examples from TOS, alongside his TNG-era admiral uniform:

Star Trek TOS costumes

Speaking of his admiral uniform designs, in The Original Series he’d consistently established that flag officers wore a distinctive metal accent on their uniforms.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

Likewise, his TNG-era admiral uniform would include a unique metal “brooch.”

Star Trek TNG uniforms

The TOS-era tunic necklines varied considerably, but by season three, Theiss definitely seems to have favored the V-shaped neckline.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

His TNG-era uniforms would have similarly wide, V-shaped necklines (albeit without the collar).

Star Trek uniform necklines

A subtle design motif that Theiss favored right from the beginning with “The Cage” and “Where No Man Has Gone Before” was small openings (which I call “slits”) at the ends of garment limbs.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

He used this motif on other costumes as well, including these two asymmetrically-paneled jumpsuits.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

Theiss incorporated a (pleated) variation of these “slits” on the bottom of his Phase II uniform trousers.

Star Trek Phase II uniforms

He would return to this idea for his TNG-era uniforms as well.

Star Trek TNG uniforms

Again on the topic of gender equality, in The Original Series the standard uniform for female crew members had been the “skant” mini-dress, most notably worn by Lieutenant Uhura.

Star Trek TOS uniforms

I already mentioned how Fletcher’s movie-uniforms were essentially unisex, and how Theiss may have already been moving in that direction with his Phase II costume designs.

The Next Generation took things a step further by demonstrating that in the future, not only was it acceptable for women to wear the same uniforms the men wore, but that men could wear the same ones women wore!

Star Trek TNG uniforms

(While perhaps a brave attempt to portray true gender equality in the future, ultimately whether or not it was successful is a matter of personal opinion.)  

Some may attribute the overall concept of Theiss’ TNG-era formal uniforms as a subtle nod to Fletcher’s TWOK-era uniforms, for obvious reasons.

Star Trek TWOK uniforms

However, I find it far more likely that Theiss was revisiting his costume design for Ambassador Robert Fox.

Star Trek uniforms

In The Original Series , Theiss established the “look” of the Romulan uniforms: grayish textured fabrics with dark belts and contrasting sashes over the right shoulder.  

Star Trek TOS costumes - Romulans

And in his final episode as costume designer, he followed up on his original design when introducing the TNG-era Romulans.

Star Trek TNG costumes - Romulans

IN CONCLUSION

William Ware Theiss so thoroughly established a paradigm and aesthetic with his TNG-era uniforms that not only would his costume designs set the precedent for the following spinoffs, but decades later his TNG-era uniforms are still instantly recognizable to almost anyone with even a modicum of nerdom and/or pop-culture awareness.

His TNG-era uniform designs were a direct evolution of those he’d designed for The Original Series , and (as we saw with the trousers) the aborted Phase II .

They were perhaps a culmination of design elements he’d introduced and experimented with on the original show, then revisited when conceptualizing what the Star Trek universe might look like a hundred years or so after his 23 nd -century uniforms.

Theiss had already begun favoring knit fabrics for Starfleet uniforms in The Original Series , and may have been moving toward more unisex uniforms for Phase II .

It takes no great eye to see that William Ware Theiss and Robert Fletcher, while both gifted costume designers who made great contributions to Star Trek , had radically different – practically incompatible – artistic visions for the future.

For any combination of the reasons I mentioned earlier, or for other reasons entirely, Theiss established a uniform paradigm for The Next Generation that, while unique (and even striking), was an obvious follow-up to his work on The Original Series .

While some of his more niche ideas (like men wearing “skants” and his season 1 admiral uniform) would be short-lived, other facets of his paradigm (such as the three division colors and rank placement) would continue to be adhered to through the end of Enterprise .

Although Theiss himself was only directly involved with the costumes for a single season and the design of the uniforms would evolve after his departure, the paradigm and “look” of TNG would become – in my opinion – every bit as iconic as his uniforms for The Original Series .

TNG Jumpsuit Analysis, Part 2

The switched division colors between TOS and TNG may have been a deliberate change, but to a certain degree, it was a change Fletcher made when engineering changed to gold and command to white in TWOK. A white undershirt doesn't really look like a division color, especially given the ubiquity of white undershirts worn as a base layer and white collared shirts worn under suit jackets, so the red jacket was somewhat of a de facto command division color. So, with red as the de facto command division color and gold (or yellow sweat stain as it looked on VHS) for division, Theiss's division colors are more of a continuation of what Fletcher did.

Also, no mention of the side cutouts Theiss considered? ( https://forgottentrek.com/redesigning-starfleets-uniforms/ )

I can perhaps see a loose connection between Theiss' and Fletcher's division colors, but I really think it was both of them just operating independently of the other.

And yes, Theiss' concept drawings for TNG are wild! Probably the only thing stranger than what we wound up with were the earlier concept illustrations. Truly bizarre stuff. 🙂

Have you ever gotten the chance to inspect any of the trousers that were paired with things like the 1st season dress uniform or admiral jacket? It's clear the cuffs were treated the same as the jumpsuit cuffs, but what about the rest? Were they just the bottom half of a duty uniform, finished with a waistband or were they constructed differently?

There were multiple styles of trousers over TNG, paired with different uniform jackets (etc.).

I'll be posting more about them in my upcoming TNG trousers analysis. 🙂

‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Showrunner Explains Why They Reopened A TNG Mystery To Start Season 5

Too bad we can’t have a behind-the-scenes book of only the third season of Picard.

I would so love that too!

These “Digital” Pops are a kick in the nuggets to collectors who’ve been trying to get Trek Pops on their shelves since the first stubby-legged TOS and TNG releases ages ago.

Ok, I’ll bite, what’s that blue stripe about on the Constitution class neck?

Amazingly, the blue is present (but very subtle) on the filming model.

Seeing that original Constitution design, it’s so sad what John Eaves has done to it (and, well, every other Starfleet ship). I miss the days of clean lines and simple shapes.

How nostalgic.

How elegantly snarky.

After seeing Playmates Toys once again blow it as far as delivering on a successful Star Trek Action Figure Line, I would really love it if Trekmovie could get us the low down on Hiya Toys plans. Are they going to delve into any other parts of Star Trek’s extensive legacy? Will we get any ships, play-sets(diorama pieces)or role-play items? How about also getting the scoop from Super7 Star Trek Ultimates and Reaction Figures as well?

ugh kinda regretting spending all that money on a painted 3d printed commission of the Titan-A from Etsy. it looks great but it wasn’t cheap

I’m happy that you’re covering the ‘Art of Picard’ release but this site’s coverage of non-fiction Trek books has been very spotty in the past. The ‘These Are The Voyages’ series is an example; a couple of the TOS books were covered but the third season volume was ignored as welll as the 3-volume set covering the 70’s, including The Motion Picture. Those books are the most comprehensive look at the TOS era and should have been covered as other books have been.

I can offer to cover them … in a layer of something rather smelly.

Kev, you should swallow your pride and pick up the Motion Picture book. I know you’re a fan of the film and the book is very good!

Between owning two copies of Preston Neal Jones’ RETURN TO TOMORROW and interviewing a couple dozen TMP alum over the years, I have a reliably deep understanding and appreciation of TMP that doesn’t rely on misleading statements and outright fabrication, which seem to be what passes for journalism in the examples I’ve seen cited of Cushman’s past trek work.

If he had simply reproduced the memos he sourced instead of using them as a dubious basis for creating his own fill-in-the-blanks Trek history, even on trivial matters such as production dates, I would no doubt have been on board with buying them and relying upon them. But his inventions of facts (like suggesting the existence of a paperback original of ARENA, to name just one that was discussed and debunked thoroughly years back) are pure malarkey and put proof to the charges levied by honest journalist/researcher types, such as the Fact Trek folk, who aren’t fastbuck artists. Sherilynn Connelly’s THE FIRST STAR TREK MOVIE is a recent release — one that also wasn’t covered on this site, so far as I know — that seems very well researched, even if for me it isn’t the most compelling of reads.

Not saying there aren’t a few TMP-rleated bits I’d still like solved (like Walter and De having an idea for solving the film’s ending that Koenig has apparently forgotten entirely after mentioning it in his CHEKOV’S ENTERPRISE diary), but I’d have trouble accepting the veracity of Cushman’s accounts given his spotty, or perhaps splotchy is a better word, track record.

OK, we’ll remain at loggerheads over this issue.

  • Trivia Almost everyone in the cast became life-long friends. At LeVar Burton 's 1992 wedding, Brent Spiner served as best man, and Sir Patrick Stewart , Jonathan Frakes , and Michael Dorn all served as ushers. Man of the People (1992) (#6.3) aired on that day.
  • Goofs It is claimed that Data can't use contractions (Can't, Isn't, Don't, etc) yet there are several instances throughout the series where he does. One of the first such examples is heard in Encounter at Farpoint (1987) , where Data uses the word "Can't" while the Enterprise is being chased by Q's "ship".

  • Alternate versions The first and last episodes were originally broadcast as two-hour TV movies, and were later re-edited into two one-hour episodes each. Both edits involved removing some scenes from each episode.

Summary [ ]

You are a cadet at Starfleet Academy and must spend time in the Academy's starship combat simulator. In place of Jean-Luc Picard , cadets take the role of captain of the USS Enterprise -D and then must turn to different crew members to access different functions of the ship, as well as take direct control of maneuvering and weapons fire for combat, to complete a series of missions.

Gameplay [ ]

Star Trek - The Next Generation (NES) navigation screen

An example of the screen in which you consult one of your officers (NES)

Gameplay is divided into missions. Players must thwart invasions, battle craft ranging from Talarian warships to Borg cubes , and defend space stations from destruction by asteroids. Although Starfleet regulation requires a diplomatic solution be attempted prior to engaging in combat, this appears to be purely a battle simulator as no ship-to-ship communication seems to be possible.

Players must call on different crew members to accomplish certain actions; Data for navigation and operations, Worf for tactical, La Forge for engineering, O'Brien for transporter systems, and Riker for mission status.

Once systems are ready and the ship is at battle stations, the player takes control of the ship and must navigate a virtual 3D space to battle the enemy and complete the mission assigned. Phasers and photon torpedoes are fired and aimed manually. As can be imagined, photon torpedoes are more destructive

Star Trek - The Next Generation (NES) power diverting

Screen shot showing the mini-game used to divert power to different systems (NES)

Mini-games are used to make certain ship functions more challenging to modify of employ. For example, re-routing power to different systems is accomplished by diverting power (represented by blips of light) through tangled power relays. Transporting is done by hovering a cursor over the object to be beamed. You achieving orbit by navigating the ship through a series of squares.

Star Trek Just Addressed One of Deep Space Nine’s Biggest Unanswered Questions

The Star Trek: Discovery episode "Mirrors" includes a HUGE reveal about the Breen, an odd alien species from Deep Space Nine.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers.

“I wonder what the Breen look like under those helmets?” asks Ezri Dax in the Deep Space Nine season seven episode “‘Till Death Do Us Part.” That’s a strange question, given that Ezri and Worf had been captured by the Breen and interrogated for some time. But despite their close and uncomfortable contact with the hostile alien species, neither hostage learned much about them.

“They say no one has ever seen one and lived to speak of it,” Worf answers.

Ezri continues in her usual lighthearted manner. “Maybe they’re all furry. It’s supposed to be very cold on Breen.”

Ad – content continues below

“One thing is certain.”

“They’re horrible cooks?”

“They are dangerous,” responds Worf, with even greater gravity than the Klingon usually assumes. “They do not tolerate incursions into their space. During the Second Empire, Chancellor Mow’ga sent a fleet of Klingon ships to conquer their homeworld, and they were never heard from again.”

Until today, that bit of dialogue encapsulated everything that Trekkies knew about the Breen. First mentioned in The Next Generation, the Breen appeared most prominently in the final season of Deep Space Nine , in which the Breen presented a threat that undid whatever gains the Federation had made in the Dominion War.

When the Dominion first entered the Alpha Quadrant through a wormhole from the Gamma Quadrant, they threatened to immediately overwhelm the Federation. As a result, the Federation had to align with longtime antagonists the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire. That confederation was more than a match for the Dominion/Cardassian alliance, but then the Dominion upped its hand by enlisting the terrifying Breen. It would take a miracle for the Alpha Quadrant forces to win. Fortunately, the Federation had a miracle on its side in the form of the Prophets (and the morally flexible Section 31 ) and won the war.

The Breen rarely appeared after Deep Space Nine concluded, and it’s easy to see why. They felt like they came from another universe, even moreso than the alien oddities that often appeared on Star Trek . With their monocular helmets and gravelly, indistinguishable voices, they felt like something out of Star Wars — specifically, they felt like riffs on Princess Leia’s bounty hunter disguise at the start of Return of the Jedi . Although they get a couple of nods in Voyager and, of course, Lower Decks , the Breen were largely relegated to a handful of non-canon novels.

That is, until the Star Trek: Discovery season five episode “ Mirrors .” In that episode, we finally learn that L’ak, a courier who has been chasing past Discovery in a search for Progenitor tech with his partner Moll, is a Breen who doesn’t wear helmet that hides his face, showing us for the first time what the species actually looks like under the armor. That’s a surprise because L’ak appeared to be just a regular green-skinned alien, a little lizard-esque in appearance, almost like a Reptilian Xindi from Enterprise .

Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox!

In fact, “Mirrors” does a lot more than just show us the face of the Breen. We also learn more about their culture, getting a sense of why they refuse to use a Universal Translator in conversation with other races and of their political system. In a move that recalls another Star Wars property, The Mandalorian , the Breen consider their helmets their true faces, and in fact have a transparent look when they remove that helmet.

But as L’ak makes clear, the Breen have the capacity to change, something hinted by the warmth and softness performer Elias Toufexis brings to his imposing character. Not only has L’ak made his skin non-translucent, but he’s adopted Federation Standard (aka English) and moved beyond his hierarchical culture.

Those changes are a good thing, because the Breen have always created problems for Star Trek canon. As many fans have noted, although Worf insisted that no one had seen the Breen under their costumes, Kira and others stole Breen uniforms to move behind enemy lines at one point on the series. They must have gotten a glimpse of the Breen then, right?

For Ronald D. Moore , one of the key creatives during the ’90s Star Trek era, that’s not necessarily the case. “There’s nothing in those helmets. I don’t think there’s a guy in there, which is something we never got around to saying,” Moore said in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion . “Or maybe there’s a little slug, some tiny little creature in there. I never wanted them to be humanoid in any way.”

“Mirrors” goes against Moore’s wishes then, but that shouldn’t be too much of a surprise. Discovery started its life by radically altering the Klingons. Looks like it will be ending its life by radically altering the Breen. But this time, it’s for the better.

Star Trek: Discovery is streaming now on Paramount+.

Star trek’s paramount plus movies must keep canceled tv shows alive.

Star Trek on Paramount+'s potential series of made-for-streaming movies can keep canceled shows like Picard, Discovery, and Lower Decks alive.

  • Paramount+ can revive canceled Star Trek shows through feature-length streaming films.
  • Characters from Discovery, Picard, and Lower Decks can continue their stories in movies.
  • The success of Star Trek legacy characters in films could pave the way for more spin-offs.

Paramount+ can keep canceled Star Trek shows alive by continuing the characters' adventures in feature-length made-for-streaming films. Although the Star Trek franchise began on television, Star Trek 's 13 theatrical movies provided more adventures with characters from Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation . Not only has the Star Trek franchise often moved from television to film, but Paramount+ has also set this precedent. The upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 starring Michelle Yeoh originally began as a concept for a television series.

Star Trek: Discovery comes to an end with season 5, and Paramount recently announced that the upcoming Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 would also be its last. Star Trek: Picard was always meant to be 3 seasons, but after the success of Picard season 3, fans began clamoring for a spin-off. While Star Trek: Picard season 3 ended with the perfect setup for the fan-desired Star Trek: Legacy , it remains little more than a hope. But made-for-streaming, feature-length films on Paramount+ could bring back the characters from these canceled Star Trek shows, allowing their stories to continue.

Every Star Trek Movie Ranked (From Worst To Best)

Star trek’s paramount plus movies can continue canceled tv shows, the characters of canceled star trek could live on in streaming films..

Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek: Lower Decks all introduced compelling new characters to the Star Trek universe, and it would be a shame never to see those characters again. Michelle Yeoh's Emperor Phillipa Georgiou left Discovery in season 3, but will be the lead in Star Trek: Section 31 , which brings back at least one Star Trek legacy character, a younger version of future USS Enterprise-C Captain Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl). If Section 31 proves to be successful, hopefully, Paramount+ will continue this trend with other Star Trek shows and characters.

Star Trek: Section 31 has wrapped filming, and there is talk of a sequel if the streaming movie is successful on Paramount+.

The return of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast helped make Star Trek: Picard season 3 a resounding success, but the season also introduced several storylines that should continue. With the introduction of Picard's son, Ensign Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), and Seven of Nine's (Jeri Ryan) promotion to Captain of the USS Enterprise-G, Star Trek: Legacy already has a compelling premise. If Paramount+ does not have the budget for another Star Trek television show, a streaming film could provide the chance to continue the story that began in Star Trek: Picard season 3.

Terry Matalas, the showrunner of Star Trek: Picard season 3, has expressed an interest in continuing the story, and many of the cast members would also love to return.

Why Star Trek On Paramount Plus Shouldn’t Abandon Discovery, Picard, & Lower Decks

Paramount+ should find a way to incorporate these characters into new stories..

Star Trek: Discovery's premiere in 2017 ushered in a new era of Star Trek on Paramount+. Discovery and the series that followed, such as Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Lower Decks , introduced numerous new characters that fans have embraced. S tar Trek streaming movies on Paramount+ offer an ideal venue to continue the stories from the concluded Star Trek series in a more cost-effective way than an ongoing series, given the changing streaming business model. Audiences will follow characters they've already invested in to streaming movies that continue their stories,

The Strange New Worlds/Star Trek: Lower Decks crossover also proved that characters can jump from one show to another, and Paramount+ will hopefully find new ways to continue this trend. Jack Quaid's Brad Boimler and Tawny Newsome's Beckett Mariner are great characters who should continue to be a part of Star Trek . The fan demand for Star Trek: Picard spin-off Star Trek: Legacy proves that fans want more Star Trek , especially when it connects to past Trek shows and characters. Whether with crossovers or mini-series or made-for-streaming movies, Paramount+ shouldn't abandon beloved characters of their canceled Star Trek shows.

Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek: Lower Decks are available to stream on Paramount+.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5, Episode 5 Review: The Crew Solves Two of the Series’ Biggest Mysteries

While on the hunt for Star Trek: Discovery Season 5's powerful alien technology, Captain Michael Burnham solves two decades-old franchise mysteries.

The following contains spoilers from Star Trek: Discovery, Season 5, Episode 5, "Mirrors."

One thing about Star Trek: Discovery fans is they are very observant. The big surprise in Season 5, Episode 5, "Mirrors," was slightly spoiled by the trailers, particularly when these eagle-eyed fans captured and examined screenshots. While the return of the ISS Enterprise after 58 years is a big deal, there is more that happens in the episode than solving an old mystery from Star Trek: The Original Series . However, the answer that Captain Michael Burnham and Cleveland Booker uncover is a great one, and fans finally get a long-awaited first look at a mysterious alien species.

After dealing with the Time-Bug in the previous episode , the crew of the USS Discovery tries to figure out where Moll and L'ak disappeared to. While the space criminals have been very capable villains (almost too capable), they're not doing very well in the race. "Mirrors" marks the first time that Moll and L'ak put their hands onto one of the pieces of the Progenitors' puzzle before the Discovery crew. Of course, they aren't able to hold onto it for long after L'ak suffered a serious injury. Still, for the first time, both Burnham and Booker talk to their rivals, approaching them with the kind of compassion that Starfleet is known for. However, they still have to accomplish their mission, and L'ak's determination to be there for Moll gets in the way of any common ground they could've found. Thanks to flashbacks, viewers finally learn why the two are so eager to find this treasure, and where L'ak is coming from.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Continues To Put the USS Discovery in Classic Star Trek Situations

“mirrors” shows the crew rising to meet the challenge in classic star trek fashion, star trek: discovery's callum keith rennie shows a new side of starfleet.

From the lack of galaxy-ending stakes and major interpersonal drama among the crew, Season 5 is Stark Trek: Discovery at its most fun. This episode, in particular, is full of classic Star Trek moments, from forcing enemies to work together to sci-fi technobabble that provides a dramatic resolution to a major problem. The impetus for this race for the Progenitors' technology stems from Star Trek: The Next Generation's "The Chase (Season 6, Episode 20)," but there are major connections to all eras of Gene Roddenberry's universe throughout the season.

While they don't get a lot of screentime, the USS Discovery's crew under Commander Rayner's authority is an equally interesting part of the episode. The recently-demoted captain is hesitant to take full command of the ship in a crisis. In "Jinaal (Season 5, Episode 3)," he took command while Burnham and the away team were down on the surface of Trill. Yet, as far as he knew, their lives and that of the crew weren't in serious danger. His focus was on finding Moll and L'ak, and personally connecting with the crew in 20 words or less. That's not to say that the stoic commander was above some of the series' most emotional beats.

An early scene in the episode, where Captain Burnham tells her new Number One that she believes in him, was subtle but touching . After Rayner showed that he studied Earth customs and sayings, such as "breaking the ice," Burnham returns the favor and cites a historical epic from the Kellerun people. This comes into play when she's able to reference that story later on as a distress call for herself and Book. Instead of badgering the crew, Rayner uses his newfound personal connections (and a friendly offer of Kellerun Citrus Mash) to inspire the crew to solve the problem. This was as classic a Star Trek moment as any, and one longtime franchise fans will surely love.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Reveals the Face of the Breen Imperium Through Moll and L'ak

Star trek fans have wondered what the breen looked like under their armor for decades, star trek: discovery's mary wiseman, wilson cruz and blu del barrio hype finale.

First introduced in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , the Breen Imperium was a galactic seat of power outside of Federation space who allied with the Dominion. The armored aliens look like something out of Star Wars , particularly their helmets, which were reminiscent of Princess Leia's Boussh disguise in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi . The Breen's appearance and who they really were was one of the most enduring mysteries in Star Trek canon. Even the Dominion didn't know what their Breen allies looked like under the armor. Star Trek: Discovery finally reveals the armor keeps their bodies in a translucent, almost liquid-like state. L'ak, as viewers have seen them, are what the Breen call their "other face."

Moll originally teamed up with L'ak to cheat the Imperium out of some faulty dilithium, a commodity that became scarce because of the Burn . They soon fell in love and when L'ak's uncle, the Primarch of the Sixth Fleet, found out, he ordered L'ak to kill Moll. He instead killed his uncle's guards, but spared the Primarch because, as L'ak said, "he raised me." This defiance earned him an "Erigah," a Breen bounty that is impossible to lift. He now hopes that bringing the Progenitors' technology to the Primarch will lift this death sentence.

Moll also bonded with her quasi-brother Cleveland Booker, though he's the fourth to use that name. Her father was the third Booker, which made him desperate to "save" Moll. Knowing that all she really wants is to live a quiet life, "Mirrors" could be the start of Moll and L'ak eventually joining forces with the USS Discovery crew. Captain Burnham is, after all, a big fan of second chances and redemption . If Season 5 is to have a big villainous threat, it will clearly be the Breen trying to collect on L'ak's Erigah, not two petty criminals.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Reveals What Happened to the Mirror Universe Enterprise

The iss enterprise was introduced in star trek: the original series “mirror, mirror (season 2, episode 4)”, star trek: discovery actors doug jones & david ajala prepare for their last adventure.

"Mirrors" also reveals another, older Star Trek secret, specifically the ultimate fate of the ISS Enterprise, formerly under the command of Tiberius Kirk . Previously, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Crossover (Season 2, Episode 23)" revealed what happened to the Mirror Spock and the Terran Empire. He started the revolution that Kirk suggested and was successful in conquering the Terran Empire to usher in galactic peace. Unfortunately, an alliance of Klingons and Cardassians attacked their weakened forces and took over the galaxy -- or at least the sector containing the Cardassian and Bajoran territory. The fate of Spock himself and his flagship was left open for other storytellers to explore.

Star Trek: Discovery still leaves Spock's ultimate fate an open question, though it seems unlikely that he would have fled his universe. His ship, however, became a refugee vessel for Terran reformers who fled, either in the face of Klingon-Cardassian attacks or a resurgence of the Terran Empire's xenophobic and warlike ways . Their goal was to cross over to the Prime Universe, where they knew the universe they hoped to build already existed. Along with Doctor Cho, the Federation scientist who hid the clue, the Mirror version of Saru (who also became a revolutionary) came with them. This placed the crossover sometime in the Kelpien lifespan, but close enough for Doctor Cho to still be alive. The use of the ship at all is mostly fan service, but it doesn't take away from the story's importance.

In Star Trek: Disocovery Season 3, a holographic interrogator told Philippa Georgiou, the former Terran Empress, that there was a subatomic "chimeric strain on the Terran stem cell" which explained their "evil" natures. Georgiou doubted this, and the ISS Enterprise's refugees are more evidence that the Empress was right. The ideal of Star Trek is that anyone welcomed into this utopian society would discover the logic and practicality of Federation morality, and thus abandon their more outdated worldviews. It obviously worked on Dr. Cho, who hid the clue to the Progenitors' technology instead of using it like a Terran out to reshape an ordered universe in their vainglorious image .

Moll & L'ak Are Bigger Wildcards Than Starfleet's 'New' Enterprise

Star trek: discovery season 5 suggests the uss discovery is headed for a confrontation with the breen imperium, star trek: discovery's sonequa martin-green embarks on one final voyage.

Thanks to the crew of the USS Discovery, the Federation is now in possession of a 23rd Century Constitution-class Terran warship. That said, its value is likely little more than that of an ancient relic from the Terran dimension. If anything, the dilithium left in the ship's stores is worth more than the rest of the ship's parts put together. However, one piece of it -- a warp-capable Terran life-support and escape vessel called a warpod -- disappeared with Moll and L'ak inside of it. The Breen's fate is an open question, but Moll will certainly return for the final piece of the puzzle. She doesn't have to solve the clues; she just has to follow Booker.

This episode is the middle point of Star Trek: Discovery 's final season , and the crew are just two pieces away from the full clue device. The race against Moll and L'ak will probably end in three episodes at most, leaving two for a different, more difficult mission. Whether or not L'ak survives, the Erigah placed on his head means that the Breen and the USS Discovery are headed for conflict. It's looking more likely that Star Trek: Discovery is going to go out with a big space battle. Star Trek is a sci-fi action-adventure story, too, which makes episodes like these even more special.

Star Trek: Discovery examines the kinds of big questions that Star Trek is supposed to. A happy ending for some of the "good" Terrans is reminiscent of how Picard brought the Borg into the Federation . In this universe, the heroes don't defeat their enemies; they convince them to become their allies. As Commander Hugh Culber and

Sylvia Tilly discussed in the lounge at the end of "Mirrors," the characters of this universe are essentially going to meet God, and not that phony one on Sha'Ka Ree. The fights ahead will be fun, but the biggest challenge facing Star Trek: Discovery from this episode onwards is making the discovery of the Progenitors' "prize" as meaningful as it needs to be.

Star Trek: Discovery debuts new episodes Thursdays on Paramount+.

Star Trek: Discovery

  • Moll and L'ak get overdue screentime to tell their side of the story.
  • Commander Rayner begins to find his place as a true member of the USS Discovery crew.
  • The fate of Mirror Saru and the other Terrans is good Star Trek storytelling.
  • Moll and L'ak's escape feels convenient, continuing the 'cards-down' approach to their telling story.
  • The use of the ISS Enterprise could reasonably be called 'fan service' because the ship itself means nothing to the characters.
  • The choice to keep the sequences on the ISS Enterprise so dark might be visually unappealing to some viewers.
