I never understood why the show designers thought we would believe that sleeping on a bedazzled pillow would be comfortable.

Some of the things about the future sure are weird. Bedazzled pillows, square pillows made of what appear to be cloth covered steel, forks that are either 3 huge thick prongs, or 4 needle like prongs that I'd be terrified to have coming at my face, and jumpsuits. Why does everyone wear a jumpsuit? Does no one have to pee in the future‽ And they're all made of spandex! The poor camera operators had to play hell when Wheaton was on the show, because one bad angle and suddenly the FBI would be knocking on the door for showing underage bulge. I love star trek to death, but I don't necessarily need to know exactly what each characters ass crack looks like, y'know?
Remember Picard's photo album from Generations? They put photos of (non-union stand-ins for) Robert and René in a crappy Sears photo album with rumpled pages, and then since it's a space photo album they sloppily glued the pictures to lenticular holofoil paper from a trapper keeper, using what I can only assume were the last four drops of Elmer's glue left in the bottle.
Oh... Oh dear, that's rough.
This is fantastically terrible!
It's a speed suit.
Go team Venture!
They should have stuck with putting all the male ensigns in mini-skirts.
Skorts, thank you. Actually, kilts would’ve been awesome.
Look up George Takei’s story about the jumpsuits from TMP. :)
My googlefu must be off tonight, I'm not finding it.
I can’t find it either. He has a whole a schtick about the “very organic creatures” trapped in a costume that took a half hour and two assistants to escape from. It’s hilarious when he talks about losing filming time because of how long it took people to go to the bathroom.
It's The Future.
You wouldn't understand, grandpa.
