Cheapo Chakotay
(Voyager Season 2)
While I was making notes on
Voyager Season 2 episodes I frequently found myself bitching
making snide comments about the costumes - the 'civilian clothes' in particular,
although that big bunch of cloth at the back of some of the uniforms look a bit
strange too. While I was watching the episode Persistence of Vision
I happened to notice something rather odd about Chakotay's pillowcase (shown in
B'Elanna's hallucination):
Classy. That extremely blurred shadow in

Is there anything significant
about it? I mean, except that it's somewhat ugly.
No?
It looks awfully familiar, no?
Examine exhibit B, from Resolutions:
So nice they used it twice!
At first I thought they were an
exact match, but having taken screenshots...well, the patterns are quite similar
but the colours aren't. My only conclusion is that Chakotay purposely
modelled this horrific waistcoat after his pillowcase. Maybe he just likes
that fresh, modern, diamond-patterned look.
Not that I have anything against diamond-patterned clothing. After all, Pringle
is from my home country and my grandads wore Pringle diamond-patterned golf
jumpers for as long as I can remember.
That said, when I was born both grandads were in their sixties. Hm.
