Great Sci-Fi Costumes...

I love Science Fiction.  Sometimes "alien" and "future" costumes are pretty spectacular.  I think I shall start documenting it...

In this edition I present the "Edo" from Star Trek TNG, Season 1, Episode 7 "Justice"

The Edo are a sensual and peaceful race that seem to only have time for leisure and calisthenics. Sadly they have a simplistic governmental justice system that results in all punishments being death.  The crew of the Star Ship Enterprise find that they cannot stay due to all their law breaking.

The Edo follow the George Lucas model of "no bras in space", and are creepily Eloi-like (a-la The Time Machine)in their identical blondness. The men's shorts show a little more information than most care to know and not in a sexy A&F sort of way.  Still I have to give credit for them pulling these 70's get-ups out in 1987.

I give this an
A for Gratuitous almost-nudity
D for "futuristic look"
B+ for humor
and a
C for creativity... They all have the same jumper? Even American Apparel sells the same stupid t-shirt in half a dozen colors.
B for function within their society

Overall grade; C+

Ouch.

When the sidewalk up and attacked me, I planted firmly onto the concrete, hands down.  Graceful. The first thing that went through my mind was "OUCH!" but then the second thing that went through my mind was... oh my gosh, my palm, it's turning blue!  The scientific excitement of watching my palm swell up and turn blue with little red specks instantly translated into "so this is what a fresh bruise looks like on the palm".  I cataloged this visual artifact for future theatre productions... bruises are very useful.  Sometimes it's a little disconcerting how much I know about trauma wounds and kill shots.  I wonder what other people think about their fresh bruises if they have no purpose for them other than use as decorations to garner sympathy with.
