Yeah how did that translate across!?! Terry Farrel liked red? 1. She was Chief Science Officer. 2. I guess she does have some sort of Command position on DS9, before Worf and not including Kira, Dax was Sisko's 2nd in command. 3. Being in Engineering red on the Enterprise got her access to more areas than Science Blue?

OTOH, several scientists in TOS wore red...
The access issue may have been important, yes. Blueshirts had access to critical Engineering areas in "Alternate Factor", but not elsewhen. Unless Sisko's gang wanted to infiltrate Sickbay, they probably best dress in yellow or red. (And they already had Bashir for Sickbay recce if they needed.)

i believe that the costumer also stated that the red fabric they were using was superior in quality to the blue, therefore it was the only one of the three they thought they should use for the skirt
(this might've been their reasoning when they chose red for Historian Marla McGivers and Astrobiologist Ann Mulhall -- both of whom wore red despite their science careers).
besides, the redskirt uniform was an icon of TOS -- they probably thought it would be more nostalgic if they had a woman in a red skirt running around.
Besides, there are more than enough people who cross their department colors more than a few times throughout all the series -- its not impossible or improbable for a minor assignment change of personnel status change that could make an officer wear command instead of operations or science -- Spock, Uhura, Worf, etc -- and the few cases of captains, commodores and an admiral wearing non-command colors.

Besides, the DS9 crew had no position or rank at all in the TOS Starfleet, and no uniform could conceal the fact that they weren't actually crewmembers.

Yes. Although I am also assuming that 90% of viewers of Star Trek do not sit there with the Chronology on their lap shouting "there were probes called Nomad launched in the 90s" in a high pitched voice.
Also, "is so dumb". Irony.

Is "people" a singular or plural noun in English? In Spanish, the equivalent "gente" is a "collective singular", not a plural...

I'd like to have full access to her areas. WIN!

So which actress in the TOS mini is he referring to? Blalock or Farrell?
