[up][up] What I think he means is... That you're trying to find meaning where there is none or should not be one. All we really need for the image to work'' is someone is an alternate, out-of-place costume standing next to someone in the regular costume to show the difference between the two.

More importantly, being an Aspie myself, one who is a Christian and... who I think is pretty imaginative, if I do say so myself... would be asking the very same questions you are if, I weren't so sleepy and cared to think too hard about a picture that I just thought was "pretty neat". smile

[up] I explained myself and she does wonder why your mental state and religion have any bearing on the argument. Anyway, said my piece.

[up] Oh sorry about that, I had finished that after you had just posted, and, I think, based on someone addressing you as "Sir", I believed you to be a "He.

As for that last part, as "The imaginative Christian Asperger" is in Karjam P's description, if that much is true, then I can feel I may completely understand his/her dilemma as I used to engage in obsessive compulsive, hyper-critical over anaylzation on even the most mundane of homework assignments.

Have I offended you?

Not that much but on-topic though to avoid a thumping, we should be considering what we're picking here a little closer as right now, we're not demonstrating what a costumer looks like opposed to what is normal for a show's standard costume.

If you were to read the post before Leela telling me that I'm ovethinking it, you'd realize that I thought of having two pictures showing the same character in different period clothing while I was editing the post.

And now I know I'm not the only Christian Asperger around here. smile

[up][up] Well you already have my choice for now. I wont delay a consensus any further with excess suggestions.

And now I realise I didn't read your post properly. (but I'm calmer now that there's a person who's trying to understand where I'm coming from).

I'll suggest again to have two images alongside with each other with Q in different costumes (one of which could be the already suggested pic to show it's in a sci fi setting).

In other words, that pic alongside another just to get the idea across.

Like this.

[up] That's a good idea, a simple contrast to show the extent of the trope in effect.

It was nice meeting you too Karjam P. smile

Perhaps combine these two with the one we selected?

I am on your side here guys and I feel if anything Q actually introduces issues with this as he goes through a lot more period costumes than anyone else given his screentime. Easiest way through that is to use the main cast, show them in standard uniform and then in costumer garb.

One thing to keep in mind on this is that pretty much any pic we use is going to hang down into the examples; doing something that's much more than one pic is going to make it that much more unwieldy on the page. A good caption can get the point across with a single pic just as easily as multiple pics and not clutter up the page.

"Jean-Luc, do you not recognize me? I'm Christopher Columbus! We can explore the universe together!"
"Q, explore the airlock, now."

[up] Which is exactly why I still stand by 6.3...

Now I just have to scour the episode transcripts for the proper relevent punchline. evil grin

@36 seems fine for me.
