Kirk had a cup as well. Sulu was drinking tea on the Excelsior when it got hit by the Praxis wave. I’ve seen them with drinks in other scenes. The bridge isn’t a restricted area for refreshments during duty.
Lifer’s juice, as my grandfather called it after his Navy career
True, but with Sulu, that was supposed to be seen, it’s part of his character, but this? Looks more like she didn’t think she was in view of the camera or figured no one would notice. Funny bit of trivia with TNG, the cups had to coloured that way because they kept turning up where they weren’t supposed to be, so had to make them blend in.
we frequently see crew members drinking (often coffee) in scenes in TOS. props were often a typical styrofoam cup painted a bluish-grey.
We might be able to see it better if it was in the original aspect ratio instead of this absurd portrait format.
She took a drink from a cup that may or may not have been part of the scene.
Future people need to hydrate? Preposterous!
Earl grey, dry.
Dehydrated water is so much easier to carry
Why not buy Freeze dried water instead?
It’s not the coffee, she smiled when she saw Spock’s backside. She leaned back to check him out.
Everyone is focusing on the drink, but what’s also going on is that Nichelle Nichols is completely aware of where the camera is and then repositioning herself so her face is fully in frame.
The coffee drinking, or the leaning over to be visible in the shot?
Both, but particularly the coffee
Hydration is important! Other crew members should take note. (Surely the consoles are waterproof.)
