a fucking nerd...
i share Jason's hatred of TNG season 7 and shitty TNG era eps in general, but until i see a few more "good" ENT eps, i'm going to have to not condemn TNG on that basis. The shitty holodeck/shitty altered reality/budget savers/whiny guest star episodes are still in the minority, especially if you are willing to bring s3 through s6 into consideration..
what i'm wondering is if Spiner wears his yellow TNG uniform, his red TNG uniform from "Chain of Command," his Generations uniform or his First Contact uniform. OR if he actually has an ENT uniform.
This is what I am wondering.

Would it be nerdy to point out that he actually wore two different "regular" TNG uniforms? And that it was more mustardy-gold than yellow?

"It wasn't the production or writing... or even the directing. It was the lousy editing and the scheduled release date."
The writing sure didn't help it, though.

and on that, we would wonder: the correct, more common "lieutenant commander" insignia or the accidental, rare costume screwup that occasionally made him "lieutenant junior grade."
This would be like the fucking nerdiness reaching some type of climactic "nerdgasm" if, after all that, we recall the half-season transition running several episodes after the end of the season 1-2 uniform, the season 3 uniforms having two seams up the front until altered sometime in the middle of that year.

So to sum up the uniforms Spiner wore... regardless of ranks pips, communicator pins, duplications, different fabrics or color brightness... 1. Season 1 uniform in gold 2. 1st half season 3 uniform in gold (collar design as in later TNG series uniform, two seams along front on left and right sides, form fitting like season 1 uniform, no belt) 3. 2nd half season 3 uniform in gold (used in rest of series) 4. Yesterday's Enterprise alternate uniform in gold 5. Season 3 dress uniform in gold (design used in rest of series and different from seasons 1 and 2 dress uniform design) 6. 2nd half season 3 uniform in red 7. DS9 season 1 jumpsuit in gold 8. FC uniform in gold 9. Insurrection dress uniform in gold (though he didn't get the uniform until Nemesis)

I seem to recall Spiner saying some years ago that he was never a Star Trek fan. For him to go from that and barely tolerating fan obsession to this comment seems very out of character.

"Engineering work uniform" is another uniform worn sporadically throughout the series. Lore wore it in "Datalore" - I'm pretty sure Data wore it on a few other occasions.
Seriously - I wonder if they were given a uniform at the end of the series? I know Marina Sirtis said at a convention that she stole a few of the dresses. Like the Lilac Season 4 dress.

My guess is that most of the uniforms are kept for extras use (see the occasional infuriating appearance of TNG uniforms on DS9), but the main cast most likely got some authorized and unauthorized mementos.

It strikes me that he was taking the piss, if anything.
