    That’s cute, but it will bug me FOREVER that they made sure Data is wearing the season 1-2 uniform to match the episode this is riffing on, but gave Yar a season 3 uniform that she never wore!

    I guess they tore a hole in the space-time continuum and brought her over from a different dimension just to dunk on Maddox.

      It does feel like a deliberately wrong choice…

      But to say that she never wore it…! She had at least… 2 guest appearances where she wrote a collared uniform? Did she appear in the one where Worf jumps around the multiverse, or is that just Wesley I’m thinking of?

        The Yesterday’s Enterprise uniform was slightly different from the standard S3 uniform. The neck doesn’t have the notch around the throat, it’s closer to a turtleneck.

          Yeah, the only times Denise Crosby returned in a Starfleet uniform, it was in her season 1 jumpsuit or this alternate uniform. The collar is closed, the sleeves have black cuffs, and everyone is wearing silver belts with a phaser holster and a delta shield beltbuckle.

          Captain Picard on the bridge of the Enterprise-D in an alternate timeline, looking over his shoulder to the Security station and seeing Tasha Yar standing in Worf's place.

          (Those belts are so cool! Why didn’t they ever reuse them?!)

            A little too Buck Rogers, perhaps? Not that I disagree, but it seems more to separate and make their existence less plausible and more fantastical.

              Maybe they stole them from another wardrobe, and had to give them back? I think it made sense for that timeline. Like something to make it easy for Starfleet officers to find each other on the battlefield if it’s dark or there’s lots of smoke.

              The oversized and completely pointless delta shields feels much more like something that belongs in the current run of Star Trek shows. That you only ever see it in a darker alternate timeline makes their inclusion somewhat prescient.

                For battlefield practicality, it makes sense. As for the blatancy of the brand, it definitely tracks with Lower Decks.

                Can’t say I wouldn’t want a pair.

                  Those at least look marketable (to these 21st century eyes).

                  Much better than the moon shoes from season 1 of Discovery.

    Gonna conveniently tuck these hands behind my back so no one has to draw them…

    I do like the art style though!
