For reasons, here's the 101 on Bajoran nose wrinkles. 😅
In "Ensign Ro"↖️↗️ and very early #StarTrekDS9 episodes↙️↘️, the Bajoran make-up was still a little more complicated and featured additional brow ridges. Keeve Falor, the Bajoran girl, Tahna Los and Zayna all have them.
None of the later #StarTrekDS9 (Vedek Winn ↖️, Shakaar ↗️) and #StarTrekVOY (Gerron ↙️, Tal Celes ↘️) Bajorans have these brow ridges, however. The make-up was simplified very early on DS9, maybe to speed up the make-up application with so many Bajoran extras.
After it had been modified during early #StarTrekDS9, this simplified Bajoran make-up was also seen in two #StarTrekTNG season 6/7 episodes, worn by a Bajoran security officer (played by @VaunWilmott) in "Descent I"↖️↗️ and by uncercover Riker in "Preemptive Strike"↙️↘️.
The change came right in the middle of filming "Emissary"↖️ and was completed by the time "Past Prologue"↗️ was shot, explaining Kira's different appearance. That also explains why Sito Jaxa and Ro Laren had different nose wrinkles in their season 5 ⬅️↙️ and 7 ➡️↘️ appearances.
Ro's Bajoran wrinkles in #StarTrekPicard's "Imposters"↖️ properly match the later and established Bajoran look and closely matches the way she looked in her last appearance in "Preemptive Strike"↗️ and not her early season 5 ("Ensign Ro"↙️) and 6 ("Rascals"↘️) Bajoran wrinkles.👌
I hope you enjoyed this little excursion as much as I did putting this together on a Sunday afternoon. This is an appreciation of the work the make-up artists put into designing and applying this make-up and of the actors wearing the prosthetics during the last 30+ years. 🖖

In #StarTrekTOS' "Amok Time", plomeek soup is purple. It is purple in its characteristic metallic bowl and it is purple on the corridor wall. More than 50 years should pass until we finally would see original, purple plomeek soup again. Find out more about the visual history of this Vulcan classic!🧵 1/8Image
Plomeek soup appears in three #StarTrekDS9 episodes ("The Maquis I"⬆️, "The House of Quark"↙️, "The Die is Cast"↘️). In each appearance, it appears more like a chunky, yellow stew. In "The House of Quark" (ordered by Bashirwith a touch of basil), it appears orange-brown. 2/8 Image
Image
#StarTrekVOY's "Faces" features "plomeek soup à la Neelix". The conction is rather "piquant" (Tuvok) or "zesty" (Neelix) and thus does not taste like the "time-honoured recipe" requires. This interpretation of the soup is red. The recipes in the two #StarTrek cookbooks are the same colour. 3/8Image

At the end of #StarTrekSNW's "Through the Lens of Time", the same display in sickbay is briefly seen in English and in the alien language seen on Vadia IX. Using this section of the display, I was able to decipher the language and find nearly all of the letters. The translation here is straightforward. 🧵 1/5Image
Things get a little bit more complicated on the right side of the screen and words show additional and missing letters but the English text is mostly still identical to the alien text (which uses a never-before seen alien font/language). The letters Y and H share the same alien letter. 2/5Image
Uhura is wrong about the meaning of the alien text inside the building (1st pic). It's actually just the same text seen in Chinese earlier in the episode (2nd pic) with two small differences (3rd pic): "stands" becomes "stand" and "eternal" becomes "internal". ;-) 3/5 Image

Originally, the ready room couch was supposed to be a daybed that could be pulled out of the wall when Captain Picard wanted to take a nap. This is confirmed by the set blueprints (courtesy of ). In the end, this feature was never seen on screen, however. 🧵 1/5archive.frogland.co.ukImage
Image
The only time we see Picard actually taking a nap on his ready room couch is on the USS Enterprise-E in #StarTrekFirstContact. In all of season 1 and only once, we only see one person ever sitting on the couch (Dr. Crusher), but more about that tomorrow. 2/5 Image
The fact that the original ready room daybed ⬆️ could actually be pulled out of the wall is revealed in #StarTrekTNG season 3's "The Ensigns of Command"⬇️ when the new couch is not in place for a shot and you can see the hole in the wall ↙️ fitting the original daybed - it was never covered! 3/5Image

Here's what I normally do here:
When new episodes of #StarTrek (#StarTrekSNW will be next in 6 weeks) are airing, I go through the episodes and point out Easter eggs, callbacks, bloopers, visual connections, starships, languages - stuff I like. I start posting spoilery stuff on Fridays usually.Image
In the weeks/months without new #StarTrek episodes, I continue going through #StarTrekTNG, episode by episode. Currently, I'm working on season 4's "Identity Crisis". I update the observations articles I wrote years ago and look for new fun "stuff". :-)

ex-astris-scientia.org/observations.h…
I usually have one daily topic I write about for some weeks/months. I do this so I have one small research task even on days where I'm really busy with work and come home late, I love doing this research, doing a little #StarTrek research each day makes me happy! Recently, I've covered Livingston's fish tank, #StarTrekTOS bridge overhead displays and right-handed phasers.Image

In the first three episodes of #StarTrekTNG ("Encounter at Farpoint"↖️, "The Naked Now"↗️, "Code of Honor"⬇️), the light right above the ready room door wasn't working. I merely assumed it was broken and then was fixed for "Haven" but I did some more investigating. 🧵 1/6 Image
Patrick Stewart also looks strangely at the light when he leaves the ready room in #StarTrekTNG's "Encounter at Farpoint", right before the Imzadi encounter. Maybe he acknowledges that it's broken or he's waiting for a sign to enter the bridge from the director. 2/6 Image
Anyhow, the neon light was fixed for "Haven"↗️ and is functioning properly in all later episodes ("Lonely Among Us"➡️, "The Battle"↘️). But notice how the whole light has changed, there's a "light-box" now, protruding into the room. Maybe the light wasn't broken in the first episodes after all...3/6Image

This is how I interpret the 765874 - Unification film by @OTOY / @Archive_X_IO - a thread:
At some point in the 25th century, Kirk's body ⬆️, stored at Daystrom Station (#StarTrekPicard's "The Bounty"➡️), is revived/cloned ↘️ after his death in "Star Trek: Generations"↙️. 1/5 Image
In a park, revived Kirk meets descendants of people he has a connection with. He also meets an old Saavik and Sorak ↘️, the son she had with Spock after they had pon-farr on Genesis in "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock"↗️. 2/5 Image
Image
With the help of time/dimensional traveller ⬇️ and time soldier Yor, a Betelgeusian we first got to know in #StarTrekDiscovery's "Terra Firma, part I"⬆️, Kirk is transported into the past and into the Kelvin universe. 3/5 Image
