    An Ode to Star Trek’s Undershirt Moments

    An Ode to Star Trek’s Undershirt Moments

    This week, Star Trek: Prodigy dropped the primary trailer for its second season, and it’s stuffed with all of the kind of good Star Trek motion you’d need—much more so if, like me, you’re a Voyager fan. But as a Voyager fan, there was one shot particularly that known as to me: Admiral Janeway, her uniform jacket eliminated, down to her high-waisted pants and a gray, Starfleet-issue tank prime.

    This is a ridiculous factor to have your consideration drawn to, however being a Star Trek fan typically entails having reactions and feelings about ludicrous issues. And but, right here I used to be: tank prime Janeway? Oh man, shit’s about to go down. To me, that’s “Macrocosm” Janeway, Ripley-ing her means by means of big virus bugs on the compromised Voyager. It’s “Year of Hell” Janeway, hobbling by means of Krenim house as her ship and crew are picked aside round her.

    Sometimes the conditions surrounding stripped-down Star Trek moments aren’t dire in any respect; we’ve seen individuals rocking the look casually, on sizzling planets, whereas engaged on one thing significantly strenuous. What, precisely, Starfleet officers wore below their black and division-color-accented uniforms from TNG onwards has at all times been in flux—there’s long-sleeved undershirts, vests like Janeway’s, t-shirts, all with various design variations—however no matter what was below them, whatever the Trek present or the character, each time you noticed them, it felt such as you had been witnessing one thing weak, one thing revealing.

    We’re so used to the best way the Starfleet uniforms look—and the conditions they’re virtually at all times worn in—that they grow to be this image of professionalism-under-pressure that encapsulates Star Trek’s love of competence porn. You’re sporting that uniform on the bridge, you’re sporting it below fireplace, you’re sporting it on the bar, you’re sporting it on away missions, you’re sporting it knee-deep in isolinear chips engaged on some panel within the ass finish of a Jeffries tube. No matter the scenario, arguably irrespective of how impractical, a Starfleet officer does their job in that uniform, trying like a Starfleet officer. So while you strip away layers of that uniform, out of necessity or out of informal circumstance, you’re stripping away the layers of that mythos round it and revealing one thing concerning the particular person beneath.

    Think concerning the dishevelled look Sisko has by the top of “In the Pale Moonlight”, the place, within the interstitial scenes set within the current, he more and more undresses layers of his uniform till he’s in an unbuttoned vest and his command undershirt is zipped down to reveal his chest, embodying his reflection of the ethical sacrifices he’s remodeled the course of the episode. Or how Picard in First Contact, the direr the scenario will get, strips down additional till he’s in nothing in his vest and trousers by the point he’s squaring off with the Borg Queen. The uncommon instances we really noticed one among our heroes both in a scenario informal sufficient to not warrant their full uniform, or anxious sufficient that they felt like they had to strip away elements of it, are someway burned into your minds as vital—like they’re for me after I see Janeway in that tank prime, prefer it’s a special mode or type of her.

    It’s such a small, however intelligent little bit of visible storytelling in Star Trek that doesn’t typically come up all that a lot—however when it does, it hits one thing primal in your Trek-loving mind to draw consideration to its significance.
