Well thankfully all of this is just shit they made up. I wonder how many people will actually accept this even as headcanon and not some silly joke. Also aren't there at least some civil war reenactments that are pretty close to accurate?

iirc there's some crews that specifically need you to do your stuff either with legit vintage stuff or gear made using the stuff of the day

...These are the insane lengths people have to reach in order to rationalize the canonical departures made by the likes of Strange New Worlds.

I find it fascinating, because when I talk to such people (and there are quite a few), it seems like they're desperate to SELL Strange New Worlds to me. I say it's boring to me and that I don't like their constant need to not only take legacy characters, but to clown them up, and that I feel it would've been less exhausting if they had just made up their own characters or xenomorph aliens. Hell, I'd probably watch every episode at least once if they did their own thing, unshackled by legacy.

Then I get the list of rationalizations, or snarky retorts like "The Metrons call it a Gorn; it clearly wasn't one Kirk was familiar with, so there!". It's kind of like the Elder Scrolls. Release a broken game, but don't worry, the "fans" will fix everything.

Oh to have actual sci-fi writers again...

I have no idea who that is or what they're advertising, so I went to YouTube for context. The video is just the guy standing up and leering at the camera; if there was a voiceover, they didn't bother captioning it so I don't know what was said. The YouTube comments are about 60% "who" and 10% outright rejection.
 
Yesterday I rewatch "Our Man Bashir" and I cracked up the whole time. From Garak's comments on the whole Bond-esque adventure to Rom's being an idiot savant when it comes to engineering...
...and I want a trad Bajoran wife even more now.

A shame that Ro Laren's nose in Picard season 3 doesn't look that Bajoran compared to TNG and DS9.

Everytime I see Star Trek cosplayers at conventions, I approach them asking about their favourite Captain, and when I hear their classic "Kirk" "Picard", I reply with "Sisko", like this.

Would it be more offensive if I went to a con as Sisko in blackface, or as "White Sisko"?

On that note I eagerly await the inevitable freakout when some white guy says their favorite captain is sisko and then cosplays as him at a convention, complete with blackface, and when accused of being racist response 'racist? he's black. are you saying I should whitewash star treks first black captain that was a main character?! you're the racist!' and watch them trying to twist that around in their head to come up with a response that doesn't make them sound racist
 
Can you even claim Sisko is black? He has a job, hasn't abandoned his kids, only had children with women he married, and doesn't have a criminal record. In the words of the most popular president in US history, "he ain't black!"

If you got access to people who know to do at least semi-professional makeup and prosthetics. For the the love of Gene Roddenberry unholy testicles, get them to make you look legitimately black so you can seriously fuck with them before and after the reveal. Beginning of this Babylon 5 clip is what I kinda what I have in mind.
