Space patriarchy, clearly.
Jason Reyes
Dressing in miniskirts in the '60s was a sign of empowerment, not oppression.
Ryder Barnes
because it was before all of the postgender bullshit in TNG and the shows that followed it
>no sexy outfits
>women are called "sir"
>Where No Man Has Gone Before is changed to Where No One Has Gone Before

What's the pic from?
Luke Barnes
TOS episode "Shore Leave"
Camden Miller
Because Roddenberry was king of the casting couch back then. You can still see in the first couple seasons of TNG when he was involved still how sex crazed and perverted the man was. He eventually married one of those actresses (Majel Barret, Troi's mom and voice of the TNG/DS9/VOY computers) after she was a slutty extra in an episode of TOS.

>patriarchy propaganda.
Connor Wilson

>Wear clothes so men don't look at you and get rapey
>Time passes
>Hey we're people too and men are civilized we can show our thighs if we want
>Time passes
>Don't show your thighs men will look at you and get rapey cover up
Really sets you a-ponderin'
Nathan Martin
Majel Barret wasn't an extra. She was with the show from the beginning. They did an entire episode featuring her character. I'm willing to bet she was in more episodes of TOS than George Takei.
Sebastian Turner
I was joking. They did it for ratings, and that was it. Flash some tits and thighs and pray the network renewed your show for another season.
Daniel Lopez
Space babes are half the appeal of sci-fi

>after she was a slutty extra in an episode of TOS.
Majel was many things in TOS, but she was never a "slutty extra".
Jonathan Martin
Majel was supposed to be a regular, but the network balked at Gene (who was still married to another woman) casting his own mistress as a main character.
Of course Gene naturally then spun this as "the network wouldn't accept a female first officer" for the next 25 years.
Christian Brooks
you guys didnt know he was waxing uhura?
even my mom knew that
Logan Turner
The opening credits were kino.
Anthony Gomez
why the fuck did they get rid of skirts in the other series, fgts
Jaxson Peterson
because it is a portrayal of the future. havent you seen how as the years go by girls dress sluttier and sluttier? i mean at my university girls will wear the skimpiest outfits imaginable as normal day cloths/ and it is far sluttier than any of the female outfits in TOS.
John Allen
appropriate name.
Josiah Adams
Agreed.
It's a shame it only got 2 seasons. Incredibly comfy show.
Jace Garcia
Ask your step-father's wife.
Henry Sanchez
because space nerds don't care about your puritanical values
Oliver Jones
Nothing wrong with fanservice.
Landon Green
...
Angel Wood
poor girl had to kiss shatner
Austin Nguyen
Not really into remakes but hope one is eventually done for Buck Rogers. But they need to wait until the social climate changes.
Jason Ramirez
It's cyclical. Look at how women dressed in the 70s versus the 80s.
Jeremiah Hill
I want to smell Yeoman Colt's hair.
Caleb Stewart
Best yeoman.
Nicholas Morris
Kirk literally raped her on the show. I can't believe it was allowed.
Jonathan Johnson
Colt was better.
Jacob Torres
that is fucking nauseating
Michael Perry
No he didn't. He tried to, but was stopped before he could get very far.
Dominic Morales
Not into women, user?
Luke White
...
Matthew Lewis
You're kidding right?
Connor Howard
No.
Lincoln Mitchell
Poor Shatner had to kiss her, you mean.
Asher Torres
Bullshit. Colt literally looked like a baby.
Mason Hall
That show is set in a small conservative town where the climate is cold.
Matthew Gray
Nah she's my least favorite. Her face really bothers me. She looks like a cross eyed bird. Theres another blonde Yeoman who looks way better.
Joseph Lopez
Not to mention it's also set in David Lynch's fantasy land where American culture never left the 1950's
Ryan Wood
This one
Lincoln Collins
But her body is wonderful.
Brandon Williams
>tfw real is not set in that fantasy land
>or at least a 1980's fantasy land
Thomas Williams
Also superior
Josiah Nelson
It's also set in the 90. and Best girl wore mini skirts all the time.
Evan Green
Dress code for working on a Desi Arnaz production.
Tyler Davis
wow you can be super gay
Daniel Sanchez
Because Gene liked his women loose and easy access.
Anthony Lee
Yes. And?
Do you know where you are?
Jose Cooper
yep. free sex, free live.
