It was hilarious the first 500 times. I know some fairs have soured on it and want people to stop
Understandable. Plus, the landing team would usually dress incognito so as not to violate the prime directive anyway, right?
So what are they doing dressed in their usual uniforms?
Maybe they got thrown back in time against their will, versus being a normal away mission?
Depends on the situation. Sometimes they only find out that the planet they’re beaming down to is actually a 1920’s mafia planet or a Nazi Germany planet after the fact once they get there, and then it’s like, “Bones, Spock, and also random Crewman, we’ve just beamed down to a mafia planet, we need to get some proper clothes before we’re spotted. Oh no, we’ve been spotted, beat these mafia guys up and steal their clothes quick before we’re spotted again.”
Although to be fair those sorts of episodes actually didn’t involve time travel, since they were other planets that for some reason or another became entire planets of mafiosos and Nazis, but the prime directive still applied.
