And the design students wondered why everyone took the piss…
As an extreme counter-example I’ve an old Bristol advert somewhere that has a picture of the car and a single line of text:
“Express transport for four six foot passengers and their luggage.”
No shitty, insipid, breathy bastardisations of classic songs there. No sir.
But in seriousness, the costumes do look like something you’d see an extra wearing in Blake’s 7 or classic Who.

and with shoehorned culture war bullshit in the, er, script.
Why is Spock activating the transporter from the wrong piece of hardware? It's Scotty's job and he's stood at his station. Why not just do it right?
I've noticed a lot of these AI vomit videos make these kinds of errors. Characters interacting wrongly with each other and with their environment (as well as doing physical actions at odds with the dialogues, like walking into a room before being invited in, or interacting with a character who, according to the dialogue, should not be in the same scene). Makes me wonder how the technology will progress when it's being trained by brainwashed idiots who clearly do not give a single shit about quality, continuity, or things making any sense.
Yes I'm a nerd, okay?

What with it being a post capitalism, post scarcity, scientocratic communist utopia.

Treating them like they're important cultural artifacts is a bad idea

Every idea in that ad has bindun for at least 40 years, from not showing the product to using fashionistas to flog cars. And yet it's still not old fashioned enough for them.
