We didn’t do many mission-type patches in Star Trek: The Next Generation, mainly because I didn’t want to be in a position where we had to come up with a new badge every time we ran into a new ship. A few years later, when we did Star Trek: Enterprise, the producers wanted a more NASA-like vibe, so I did quite a few emblems for Bob Blackman, our costume designer. Wendy Drapanas, Geoff Mandel, and Alan Kobayashi also contributed some patches.
This listicle says it was Wendy Drapanas but there’s no further explanation.

There are sizeable number of people who don’t like all kinds of things but I don’t make it a habit of pointing it out when I see someone with those things permanently etched onto their skin.

I know it’s not what you’re asking but I think Okuda did the original design

lmao why on Earth would you phrase it like that?!?! Just say nice tattoo!

I agree, but the particular Maquis we saw tended to be reactionary and narrow minded. I think it could have been presented as a much better grey area situation like in Journey’s End.

I always felt like they did a pretty poor job of making the audience feel any significant level of sympathy for the Maquis (assuming that was the goal).

I’ve watched this before, it’s one of my favorites. Great selection of pieces and it flows really well. I would love to see something similar in person one day.

- Comment on Favorite Trek episode that's not in the usual top 57 lists? 2 weeks ago:
Looks like it was published before seasons 4 and 5 of Lower decks came out which imo is where most of the bangers are

Yeah, they also mentioned that it was difficult to capture it in photos:
The facial sculpt by Dean Tolliver features an enigmatic smile typical of the character, and like a lot of EXO’s sculpts, this one is hard to capture just in photographs.

Crazy that this was uploaded almost exactly one year after it went off the air. Also crazy that that was twenty years ago!

I’m going to complain about this until it happens and then enjoy it and then continue complaining for another ten years BUT after that I will pretend I always thought it was brilliant and beloved nugget of Trek lore.

Anytime someone anywhere on the political spectrum uses the word “woke” without also defining what the fuck it’s supposed to mean I just cannot take them seriously.

S-tier satire of the conservative “Trekkie” (please Gene, I hope you’re being satirical). I always think of Douglass Adam’s “rules” on growing old:
- Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
- Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
- Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
Anytime someone says Star Trek’s progressivism was never “hamfisted” I usual just point them to the after school special that is Let that be your Last Battlefield:
