[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Thats some messed up reasoning though. It ruins the whole shock value element the producers were using. By seeing the old clothes, your mind jumped through hoops trying to grasp the idea youve been watching an impostor for the past month of episodes. Exactly the kind of paranoid/fear shock value the producers were trying to convey would be the reaction if that were the situation. For a moment the audince was put squarely in the shoes of the 24th century denizen trying to cope with the fact that the guy theyve been watching was not who he looked like. I think a good explanation was that Bashir was napped wearing his old-style uniform, and the Changeling had a great deal of medical knowledge that enabled him to do what Bashir wouldve in 'Rapture'.. and that he didnt wreak any havoc because he was laying low waiting for his chance to blow up B'hava'el. Of course, the main factor that went into this whole fiasco is the fact that the DS9 producers were chomping at the bit to get the new uniforms and props from FC, but TPTB didnt want fans to see the new stuff on TV first, they wanted all the 'new stuff awe' to be focused on their movie, so they made DS9 wait til the film had been well circulated before giving the go ahead to grab that stuff. They would have been better off waiting one more episode though, since the aforementioned oddity with the Changeling performing the Rapture surgery. And the fact that they couldnt afford enough uniforms for everyone! not only was Sisko wearing an ill fitting and incorrectly pinned version, but all of the Starfleet extras in the conference scene were wearing TNG uniforms (like the old ones from season 3!!!) Thats some evidence that uniform changes take a while in Starfleet.. probably major bases get new ones first, then farther out starships perhaps (since we knew that the TNG and DS9 uniforms were worn concurrently)? Just like the pin design changes a couple years before the uniform catches up.. [/QB][/QUOTE]
