Trekkie? More like Babylon 5-ie.

British Judges abandon wigs for new "Star Trek" look."

Bah. This isn't Trekkie at all. It's a poor execution of a mediocre idea, but it's not Trekkie. If they really want the Star Trek look, they should go with the Q Judge's robes that we first see in "Encounter at Farpoint":


I maen, weren't those robes supposed to be from a court in the mid-to-late 21st century, or am I mis-remembering?

Indeed. But they did not say from where.

I thought from the context of the scene that it was from a war-torn Earth. Admittedly, it didn't give a country, but I could have sworn the outfits were Terran.

But are they British? There are hundreds on nations on the planet Earth today.

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Everyone had an American accent (not that that means much 50-60 years from now) so they probably aren't British. I'm just saying they're not Klingon; they're Terran, and have the potential to be British, or British-influenced. And if we're gonna get there, why not start with the most recognizable judicial regalia in the world?

As you will, but if Lichtenstein adopts the Q look, you'll be sorry you said that. ::grin, duck, runaway!::

Are you supposed to be linking to a story or something?

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Um...yeah. Link's been fixed.

c.2079, the post-atomic horror. Probably the Eastern Coalition, as the US seen in that era was impoverished but recovering, given the cease-fire in the 2050s.

(MemoryAlpha rocks.)

Oh good lord!

Looks more clergyish than trekish to me.

heh, but don't be knocking Babylon 5.
it's baberlicious to the fifth power!

I think the judges should go with the clothes they wore in the future, on the movie "Bill and Ted's Exellent Adventure"
;P
