How Carol Kane’s Star Trek Costume Made Series History
By DANIELLE RYAN
Carol Kane joined “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” as the new chief engineer of the U.S.S. Enterprise, Pelia. An accessory on her uniform made “Star Trek” history.
While joining host Wil Wheaton on “The Ready Room,” a web series that delves into the world of “Star Trek,” Kane shared with Wheaton that she received a fanny pack.
Kane shared, “I even have this fanny pack type of thing [...] that's so unique. And I just love it because nobody else has ever worn [a] purse around their waist in the show.”
Starfleet uniforms, lacking sufficient pockets, present a problem for engineers or anyone using tools. Kane should consider Pelia fortunate to have made history with a fanny pack.
