    This is so weird, it must be a wardrobe test.

    Whitney is wearing the pilot yeoman uniform, but in production yellow and Shatner’s uniform is different from the production uniform as well (especially the rank stripes).

      Most certainly it is. The series never mixed OG and mark 2 uniform. With that said - yellow looks good on Whitney.

    I like the idea that they’d have a globe on a starship.

    Although it might be an antique used as a decoration

      That’s a celestial globe so a little more appropriate for decor on a starship but still useless in space unless you are in orbit at Earth.

        “The Road Not Taken” by Harry Turtledove.

        Super short story. The main idea is that FTL spaceflight is so easy that a Bronze Age society could invent it. So you’ve got Earth invaded by space ships that use candles and bows and arrows.

      it’s a missed opportunity to make a stealth Borges adaptation with Spock losing his shit over the concept of a globe and the accuracy of maps
