I liked the velour Original Trek outfits. When I'm a god in the far future, you'll know it by virtue of the fashion trends returning to futuristic 60s styles.
What kills me is the DS9 episode "Trials and Tribblations" where they firmly establish that yes, in fact, Star Fleet went through a period where that's what the outfits looked like, rather than try and wank it out like it never happened.
And now that Enterprise features very functional, militaristic outfits, you really have to wonder what that particular period in Federation fashion history was all about.
Note to self: Never put Nutty in charge of your ragtag fleet. It brings out her worst dictatorial urges.
You will be glad for my dictatorial urges come the revolution, boy.
In general, I would call velour a fashion no-no, except on young children. But, my flatmate (a TNG trekker) reports that spandex is out too -- apparently the TNG outfits got "loosened" after about a season because the men were all paranoid about how they looked in tight pants.
Let us all have a moment of thanks that original Trek was 1966, not 1958; thus it was yellow, red, and blue instead of orange, sky blue, and brown. I think those colors do not send the proper diplomatic message into the broader universe.

After you institute a forced breeding program? I'm thinking no.
DRAGO MUSSOWHATEVERTH FUCKVINI IS AT LEAST A LITTLE BLACK!!!
I'm sorry, I'm really hung up on this, so much that I'm going to be watching the rest of Andromeda, to show how the son of this man can look like this????
Not to mention -- how those two can have identical DNA, plus the former have Beka's DNA????

All the more reason for you to get cracking on successful human cloning. I will have nobody to boss around if we all die out within a generation.
I vote we clone me first, a whole bunch of times.
I have some theories I'd like to play with.
I think you should save your forced breeding for once they get to "Earth". I mean, they've got 10s of thousands of people on those ships, and you really don't need more than a couple thousand. Until they get to that point, I think they have more important things to worry about (including not putting undue stress on supplies).
And now I have done way more thinking than was necesary.

Cleraly you have not noticed that they kill off at least one person per episode. I am thinking, before Season 5 the gene pool will be a tiny shallow puddle. I mean, it will be a shallow puddle of the prettiest people, because those are the ones with contracts, but one exciting new space disease and it's curtains for that version of the human race.
But adding more people will only make it more likely that there will be some kind of disease, what with additional over-crowding.
Killing people saves resources. I'm all for the killing.
