I've just found a bunch of collector VHS tapes of the first season of TNG and decided to watch through them starting with encounter at farpoint. Should be good since the only trek I've seen in three years was VOY and one episode of ENT.

I didn't know O'Brian was in the first episode as an Ensign, and how long did it take to kill Diana's skirt as well as the skirts I saw some guys wearing?

I though they died in the first season of TNG?

The so-called "skant" didn't make it much beyond the pilot episode. Apparently it was a combination of the fact that anyone wearing one looked like an incredible dork and that the thought of a man in a "skirt" or a kilt in the pre-Braveheart days was considered too mindblowing for the theoretical average viewer.

A decent kilt would have been a better idea in any event.

You know, Scotty wore a kilt several times in TOS.

There were guys in skirts in TNG?

Makes you wonder if Starfleet is fruity, don't it?

No offence of homosexual people, but if I have offened you, I am sorry. I know how offenseive it must be to have Starfleet compared to you.

Well right now I'm watching an episode thats problem was caused by Away Team prodical stupidity and Medical not understanding the concept of a quarentine.
