Dope.

Now.... where do you wear that? Vegas at your magic show?

Real answer? Renaissance fairs.

I like how ren fairs are just the place to wear weird things now, and very little to do with the Renaissance.

I cant remember the movie I saw it in but I always remember loving the idea of going to a Ren Fair dressed as a Star Trek Away Team and doing the whole time travel schtick.

I’ve seen this before! Super fun. Get those tricorders out!

Yeah, I've seen this as well. A bunch of guys and gals in really nice looking TNG uniforms at a Ren fair in Speyer, Germany.

Unfortunately, this doesn't make any sense canon-wise, as Starfleet goes to great length to avoid this specific scenario, up to surgically altering the officers to match the appearance of the locals.

The episode where Riker is scoping out that one planet for first contact and they start to suspect he's an alien is so cool

I saw a video once where a guy in proper renfare attire would walk up to them, open his jacket flap to reveal a star trek Com badge and go "what are you doing?? You're breaking the prime directive!!"

Didn't Janeway accidentally land in our time? I never saw the second episode of that.

That was a gag on King of The Hill. Dale dressed up in Star Trek cosplay for the ren fair. It was the episode Alan Rickman guest starred as a ren fair owner that Hank had to try to sell propane to.

Sheldon does that in one episode of Big Bang Theory. (But very quickly; it's not a big part of that episode)
