someone beam knowledge of the rest of voyager into my brain without me having to watch it. thanks

I saw a post talking about the starfleet pointy side burns and now I’m watching TNG and I CANT STOP SEEING THEM

you can never unsee the sideburns. also, when someone is a traitor or leaves starfleet (permanently or temporarily) the sideburns sometimes go away. tom paris didn't have pointy sideburns when he was in the penal colony and valeris very noticeably has no sideburns at all

I giggle every time I think of The Bible of how to apply the sideburns/facial hair, the seriousness of the instructions....its a gift that keeps on giving

there's...there's a sideburns bible???

Bibles. Plural

Michael Westmore aka the makeup artist for a swath of Star Trek productions, produced numerous Sideburn Bible, aka The Bible, instructing the makeup artsis about how to apply fake hairs, the type of hair to use (crepe wool for preference), how best to integrate with the performers natural hair, when to touch up, when to use makeup vs hairs (as little as possible and only in extremis)...he took this shit seriously.

I forgot the illustrations

THANK YOU FOR THIS I AM LOSING MY MIND

i can suspend my disbelief watching tos so easily. they’ll turn people into styrofoam polygons and i’ll be like woah what are the ethical ramifications of this and the impact on the characters

Obsessed with the idea of being a symbiont's first host. Gaining pretty much nothing from the process because the only memories it has is of swimming around in a cave. Go worm, give us nothing.

new star trek oc: ricky dornt, 18 yr old trill host and his fresh-outta-the-soup symbiont. fresh faced, empty headed, and about to get their shared dick kicked in by the universe

This is really funny, but I think another hilarious possibility is if those worms have completely full, dramatic lives in those pools. So the first host would be telling wild stories from their past life like any other joined trill, and people would be like “Woah that’s crazy where could something like that have even happened???” And they’d be like “Oh in the worm pool.”

oh my god, I never considered worm drama.

Ok. This sounds amazing!!! I now need a whole thing about work drama and a fresh faces trill getting a brand new symbiote!!!

Hell yeah, I want to hear the Worm Drama!

i saw this and decided that it is them low effort drawing though because they're just so hard to draw ?? odo is so visually bland, and then quark has so much happening, so they look a bit funny when you put them together

when i say “i wish ds9′s budget/tv cg at the time was better b/c they could have had odo do so much more” i mostly either mean “gratuitous body horror” or “what if odo turned into a tiny car and repeatedly crashed into quark’s ankles” and not like, anything cool or important to the plot

empok nor 1000 times nastier and more murder I’m talkin guts painting the walls. Also I wanna see nogs pores

you know what you're right
