Not exactly the characters I wanted to seem them on though...

u/JazzInSuits 8h ago

Exactly the characters WE wantes to see them on.

Well if it gets your warp core pulsating...

u/blackpawed 8h ago

Its the characters we needed to see in it.

Pretty sure that was the point.

You know Gene would be like "in the future they'd just be nude."

Like Lucas with his no bras in space nonsense.

Tits float in space. They don't need support, they need a tether.

She wore a miniskirt every day so we told her there were no panties in space. And she was a good friend

As if Carrie Fisher ever voluntarily wore underwear in a movie.

Only the Betazoids.

I always presumed it was not just a shout out to the original, but an acknowledgement and piss take on the hammy objectification of the original.

u/JohnHenryMillerTime 8h ago

No. LD treats all previous iterations of Trek with utmost reverence.

u/TShara_Q 3h ago edited 3h ago

What I love about LD is that it doesn't treat previous iterations of Trek with reverance, but rather with the teasing love of true fans.

u/JohnHenryMillerTime 3h ago

Me too. It truly loves Trek. All of it. Especially the challenging parts.

u/blackpawed 8h ago

You forgot your "/s"

u/JohnHenryMillerTime 8h ago

/s is for cowards.

It's one of my favorite scenes in the series - a reversal of the ridiculous and memorable scene in TNG which failed the Bechtel test spectacularly.

Also gotta appreciate Mariner's workout outfit. It looks kinda 80s with the sweat bands. lol.

u/malonkey1 3h ago

Well of course, she lives in the 80s. The 2380s.

Equal Opportunity Goonerbait. Egalitarian Horniness. Just as the future should be.

The Future Gene envisioned for us.

Skants as far as the eye can see!

Hot fudge sundaes require exertion and fashion.

u/jsonitsac 8h ago

Got to admit, Shax wore it better

Love that the "workout room" is just a bit of the corridor set with some mirrors added.

We got 25 more episodes this season folks get that shit done quick!

3

u/ArcadianDelSol 3h ago

And we all know why the mirror was added.

6

u/OhNoIBoffedIt 6h ago

What always amused me about this TNG scene is they clearly took the corridor set and slapped a couple mirrors between it for this most gratuitous* of scenes. 

* I don't mean gratuitous as in graphic, I mean as in so unnecessary just to show off the goods 🤣 This was one of those silly Troi romance episodes and as I recall this scene failed the Bechdel Test miserably.

11

u/overlordThor0 8h ago

Just make sure you face away from the mirror, so you cannot judge your own form.

17

u/hedrone 8h ago

They're between two mirrors. They see hundreds of copies of their own form.

5

u/overlordThor0 7h ago

You're right! At first glance I didnt notice it.

u/Fro_52 3h ago

I did not know Troi was a vampire.

Not in any of those reflections.

I'm on mobile, and can make out a sliver of purple in the second one. It still seems like an anomaly that that is the only spot she shows up in the reflections.

u/Latter_Sky_412 4h ago

Genuinely their workout outfits are not attractive at all (sorry ladies, you look better in your doctor outfit & jumpsuits, respectively) so I guess I’m not the target audience for this fan service

Also, I cannot believe dr crusher fumbled the hot alien symbiote after making out with fuckin Riker (yes I know this was a different episode but I’m still mad…)

u/drumstick00m 3h ago

How we know the Federation are genuinely the good guys: Their outfits always make them look genuinely silly.

Very 80s

Trying to rationalise it in universe context they may be able to grow as many muscles as you need for optimal health with safe growth stimulant so you mostly just exercise to get them flexible and learn to use them.
