CONFESSION:
So recently I had to watch a lot of 70s and early 80s science fiction movies and tv shows for a project and I have come to fully believe that the tight outfits Miranda wore were inspired from what the Wilma Deering character wore in the late 70s/early 80s Buck Rogers show. I think some of the dresses the humans and asari wore were somewhat inspired from that era as well.

wild going back to tng s1 when they fully believed that a commbadge could contain an always-on instantaneous automatic long range communications node, but not like, a camera
digital cameras weren't even a dream yet, that's how stuck in the 1980s tng was at first, they had portable devices that could scan for lifeforms and do metallurgical analysis on the fly and they could teleport from place to place and had cars that could achieve orbital velocity and travel at warp speed, but picard could only communicate with riker down on the planet via RADIO
bc the whole premise of live feed video conferencing required dedicated hardware with either a landline hard wired data connection, or a starship with a warp core powering the antennae
they didnt have satellite photography either, nobody on the enterprise could even point a camera down at the planet and see what was happening from above, which is even wilder bc we put space probes in orbit of the outer planets in the 70s! but still, nah, the enterprise can't even do grainy black and white imagery like v'ger
but then jump ahead a couple seasons and everyone has kindles and ipads bc tng INVENTED THEM
