Going Green, 24th Century Style

My company is going “green” crazy. It’s now part of our mission statement, part of our daily grind…even our e-mail signatures all have to have a “think before you print this” tagline. It’s a bit silly, but I know that their hearts are in the right place. Plus, I got a free water bottle and coffee mug out of the deal, so we’re all winners, right?

Seems that recycling is going to be around well into the 24th century. Don’t believe me? Check it:

The lovely Rutian with Commander Will Riker is Head of Security Alexana Devos, played by Kerrie Keane in the third season TNG episode “The High Ground.” Strikes quite a pose in her militaristic uniform, no?

Fast forward to Voyager’s fourth season episode “Random Thoughts,” and Chief Examiner Nimari of the Mari, played by Gwynyth Walsh:

Not only is Ms. Walsh a “Trekcyclable” actress (not recognizing her without her furrowed brow and excessive Kleavage? It’s B’Etor, byatches!), but that Mari uniform is so 2366 Rutian! They may not be the same costume, but someone went digging through patterns and revived this oldie but goodie with some subtle alterations.

And before you ask, yeah, I really am this geeky. Don’t mock it…you know you like it.
