I'm a little skeptical - the scan is really crappy, and it could easily be a fake. Seeing as there are no official pictures of the Pre-E crew yet, why do we get a glossy of a minor player?However, if the picture pans out, I would almost tend to like this outfit. I hope that it gets extended to the era's dress uniforms, too. I miss ties.

Not bad, looks like real Navy officer uniform.

I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

It HAS to be fake. Look at his left arm! It fades away from below his shoulder, and then we suddenly get his lower hand looking like it's coming from his stomach.

Upon closer examination, it really *does* look fake. The cut of the neckline is all wrong - either that, or Vaughn has a neck like a giraffe!

Also, why is this guy wearing a conventional tie? To stay strictly canonical, shouldn't he cut it in half, wrap it once around his neck and cross the symmetrical ends in the front without making a knot, like everybody in "Past Tense" did?

Granted, the military may be ultra-conservative and use attire that is several centuries out of date. Still, the photo looks really fake, so I'm keeping up hopes that the real version won't feature a conventional tie. I just hate it when TPTB miss a good chance to show something different.

Stop. Look closely. No closer. There.

The image isn't a scan, but a photo of the photo. You can see the reflection of the guy taking it just below the autograph. Probably with some incredibly uber-ass old digital camera, considering the awful dpi. It's the reflection on the gloss that makes the arm seem to disappear.

It's far less likely (IMHO) to be a fake than the crap turned out by trekzone.de...

Who's to say ties are out of date ? I mean most of the worlds Armies have kept the same "style" of dress uniform for centries , with occasional modernizations here and there. I dont doubt the possibility that ties are still in use by the time of Enterprise. Personally I like it.

I don't think having ties in the uniform is a problem, though I would definitely prefer to see some subtle changes (as has been noted above) along the lines of "Past Tense" DS9. I liked those ties so much that I made a couple for myself.

I think it would be a perfect combo of the more "close to home" feel they seem to be going for and a futuristic uniform.

The photo seems to be legit. The guy from EnterpriseTV.uk confirmed on the TrekBBS that it's a glossy 8x10 Vaughn Armstrong signed in an event for him. And another touchup like Wes gave the same result: the cameraman reflected on the photo gloss.

Personally, I REALLY like the uniform. The tie... the tie! And the cuffs. They say a lot. A merge between present and future. It's great.

Despite having never seen Lee's post, I'm going to call for a ban, because I've completely missed the point. Die!

"though I would definitely prefer to see some subtle changes (as has been noted above) along the lines of "Past Tense" DS9. I liked those ties so much that I made a couple for myself."

Oh dear god no.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
