the futuristic universal-uniform shows you speak of are usually engaging in either a form of techno-utopian communism (star trek) or military fascism (starship troopers). Shows with more individualistic clothing (Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape) are usually more culturally contemporary (a balance of social support and capitalism). At least, that's how it seems, I'm not sure which shows you're referencing.
- rsynnott 10y agoEven in Star Trek, the civilians wear fairly varied clothes. The Starfleet crew all wear the same clothes because _it's a uniform_ (except for Deanna Troi, for some reason).
- beaconstudios 10y agoit was the only show I could think of when GP said "[uniform clothing] seems to work for every sci-fi / futuristic TV show or movie I can think of."
