Reviews and a design challenge

Quick review of the Hitchhiker's Guide movie:
You should probably go see it if you like any of the other versions, or you like SF comedy. Sure, they took a lot of stuff out. (Cutting 3 hours of radio play down to 90 minutes will do that.) Sure, they changed a lot of stuff. (This was a practice Douglas Adams himself was quite fond of.) But if you go with an open mind and don't insist on a copy of one of the other Hitchhiker's media, you ought to have a good time.
Quick review of last Friday's Enterprise:
Plot? Who cares? Space battle scenes with a certain class of starship... *happy sigh* (There's some other eye candy too, for het-male or compatible formats.)
In all seriousness... I wonder how a 21st-century costume designer would design a believable futuristic military uniform that would provide eye candy for het-females and compatible? Bill Theiss tried showing some leg in the men's "skant" uniforms for TNG, and the design died a quick, ignoble death. It's an interesting question.
