[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] And they appeared to be much the same costumes as the ones worn by the future Kim and Chakotay in "Timeless" - except that Odo and Quark had theirs cut-and-resewn. As for rain gear, I'd *love* to see the "life support belts" of TAS being used in this role. I imagine it would be relatively easy to use a combination of fake rain on the set foreground/background plus some CGI to create an otherwise invisible or perhaps slightly glowing forcefield "bubble" that surrounds the actors and deflects the rain... I don't think we have yet seen our heroes in heavy rain, at least not when they were otherwise properly equipped. This sort of futuristic "umbrella" would be a really nice touch, and an �bercool visual effect. Plus it would be a TAS referece, however obscure... As for why we haven't seen this tech before: one could say that this is the future equivalent of an umbrella and not of a raincoat. Those tough military types don't use umbrellas, except when they are acting un-tough and sensible for a change. I could easily see Archer's crew being a bit more "civilian" and stooping to using the forecefield umbrellas. Then again, TAS belts might be a bit anachronistic for ENT. What I'd REALLY like to see would be these umbrellas in action in a TOS or TNG movie, with the heavy implication that they are NOT new supertech but rather standard 23rd or 24th century consumer gadgets.
