Killer costumes


Patrick Stewart said the original costumes caused you all lots of pain, is that true?

Picture Well the space suit is just an unnatural thing to wear. It was designed for human beings, but it turned out to be not so human user friendly. It was always uncomfortable. I mean spandex isn�t, you know, exactly a material that exists in nature.It didn�t breathe, it didn�t move. It was tough to wear.

Didn�t give you backache like Patrick?

No, but he�s a big whiner. We none of us liked it, but we didn�t whine like he did. No that�s not true, we all whined about our space suits. We all hated our space suits. I think he just whined the loudest.
