Changing uniforms: Regular Trek stars who changed the color of their regular uniform and why.   - Spock in the 'Shatner' pilot had a yellow uniform before changing to the iconic blue.   - Sulu in the mirror universe wears red: did that mean they were gonna kill him??   - Chief O'Brien had a red uniform in the TNG pilot.   - Geordi and Worf switched uniform in the TNG second season when they changed ship jobs. But was Worf gonna be killed off in season 1 had Tasha not been killed as rumoured?? Curse of the red shirt!!   - Data got a red shirt when he was promoted to First Officer by Captain Jellico and Troi had to go back to wearing a standard blue uniform in the 6th season 2 part episode 'Chain Of Command'.   - Picard had a blue uniform in 'Tapestry'.   - Thomas Riker had a yellow uniform, a big change from Commander  Rik ers  iconic Red. - Worf went back to wear...

- Season 2 Dr Crusher was replaced by Dr Pulaski in an attempt to   create another 'Dr McCoy' type of character. She left after 1 season but what would it have been like had she stayed on the series?? I actually like the character of Pulaski, maybe even more than that of Doctor Crusher. At first they made her just a little too ignorant and the Writers attempt to have her be the Doctor McCoy of this series just didn't work.

I think the show would have been fine with her, but from what I understand she was not happy with the role so if she had stayed for another season she may have eventually wanted to leave the series anyway.       - What would Trek have been like if  Majel   Barrets  character 'Number One' had remained the First Officer and not Spock? ...

- In the original draft idea for Trek Spock was to have been red and from Mars... how would that have affected the franchise?? This would have drastically altered everything for Spock and viewers. Being red and from Mars may seem silly by  today's  standards but you have to remember that back in the 60's not much was known about Mars. There were no photos, no probes, just what could be seen by telescope and educated guesses. But Roddenberry was known for consulting with scientists about science stuff for Trek and he was probably advised to not have  Spock be from mars because the odds are against there being humanoid life on Mars. but by  today's  standards had they gone with that notion of being red and from Mars there is no doubt that Star Trek would be mocked and probably would never have been taken seriously, especially after NASA all but proved there not to be life on Mars.         - Originally Marina  Sirtis  audit...
