TOS s3e9 “The Tholian Web”
Since my first time seeing those EV suits (which was in the 1080p remaster of TOS), I have wondered about the visor portion of the costume, which is obviously made of a very fine mesh instead of a solid sheet of plastic or something. Was that just for production reasons (making breathing easier for the actors, less glare for the cameras, better sound quality of the actors dialog, things like that), and the only reason I can even tell in the first place that it is actually mesh is just because I am watching it fifty years later in a quality that was unheard of at the time of filming? Or is it actually supposed to be a fancy futuristic mesh-like material that just has properties far beyond what we have now (like the mesh masks worn by surgeons in Babylon 5)?
I’m pretty sure they were counting on the low resolution of TV of the time. I’m a big fan of this exo suit, BTW.
I’m positive it’s this (think: over-the-air broadcast was never perfect) combined with the problems of fogging a glass/plastic visor, and keeping things breathable. I don’t recall if they over-dubbed in post or not, but something acoustically transparent (mesh) would make the audio guys happy too.
Uncertain, but it’s funny you bring up the quality of the suits as I’ve already prepped a meme addressing that. Might hold off 'til tomorrow though. I’m already 4 deep today.
Go onto a standing shower with a good door seal and let it rip. It’s the worst thing in the world
No matter what you see or hear, it’s all just a dream…

Do most people actually find their own farts disgusting?
I certainly do, though they generally don’t seem as repulsive as those belonging to others.
‘Cal, I just farted’
