Oh I should add - the short skirt uniform in this presentation was tweaked a bit, it is far more revealing in the original, with lots of cleveage and all of Nichelle Nichols curves revealed.
Also, you may or may not already know this - but there was an episode in the original where Kirk and Uruha have a wild romance and he kisses her on screen. This was highly controversial at the time. And the network told the writers to pull it - that they could not allow that on screen. William Shatner fought the network and insisted they do the scene. The way he did it, was he snuck it in and refused to do reshoots. Or something like that. As a result it was on screen and listed amongst the first interracial kisses seen on tv. Back then - the big deal was interracial relationships. And the reaction against them is not that different than what we currently see with gay relationships. The Kirk-Uruha kiss was considered hot and ground-breaking.
