He might not be the family favorite since they gave him Wesley Crusher’s outfit. However, Captain Picard and Lieutenant Riker also wore it too so he could still be loved. They at least gave him a communicator, more than I can say for dad.
Not a fan of the newer Star Treks, but the red shirts always died in the original series with Capt Kirk and Spock…
and not gonna lie – Nurse Chapel might have been the only woman to be able to pull off the shiny spandex disco dress…
I’m going to go one step further and wear my Starfleet uniform WITH Vulcan ears for this year’s holiday card. I’ll have to get my husband to wear command gold.
Greatest and funniest pic. I wonder if after all of these years are they still Trekkies? Have the kids since married and raise their children to also be Trekkies? I certainly hope so.
Wow… two engineers, a doctor, and oh..sorry for the loss of your one son (red shirt of doom) on what ever planet he beamed down to and was immediately destroyed.
I have never dressed as a Trek character, but this is a great picture. I love the show, grew up watching it. I hope the Trekkie has been passed down succeeding generations.
Since this was probably taken in the 80s, the kids may have spawned their own “Next Generation” by now (yeah, that was a groaner). It would be really cool if this “original cast” got together and posed in reboot/alternate reality costumes (if you saw the movie, you’ll know what I’m talking about) and posted it here! Dad probably looks a lot like Spock Prime by now!
this may be one of the most classic photographs on the planet! usually in a situation like this the kids would be dragged into it but it honestly looks like they are as happy to be doing this as their proud pappa is.
Ok..the mom looks JUST like that doctor that took over for Crusher when she left the Enterprise for a while… Doctor Pulaski…weird yet the coolest thing ever!
I LOVE THIS, I would’ve died from joy if my family had done this when I was a kid…(this from the 27 year old mother of a 3 year old who recently scored two pairs of Vulcan ears at a yard sale LOL of course I have no idea what I’ll ever do with them…now I have an idea hehehe)
I LOVE this photo! Hey, I graduated from college in my original series Star Trek uniform, and had my driver’s license picture taken in my next gen uniform. It makes for good conversation when I get pulled over, or getting ID’d at bars. SO FUN!

Most kick-ass family photo EVER.
THAT IS THE MOST TRU STATEMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD
the one with the red shirt always dies… you can see who”s not the family favourite…
Damn you trekkies! Star wars would be 10 times cooler!!

Captian Picard wore a red shirt… knucklehead

actually, that Next Generation command officer maroon, so he might be the Chosen One of the family.
I am completely not comfortable with that girl wearing that.
agreed.
A family that “Treks” together, stays together!
why isn’t Dad wearing his pointy ears?
Basically, this is the best thing I’ve ever seen.
I’m going to go one step further and wear my Starfleet uniform WITH Vulcan ears for this year’s holiday card. I’ll have to get my husband to wear command gold.
I LOVE this picture!!! I want to marry into this family!!!
That was exactly my first thought.
So strange, but so great!
I wish we had a cool themed family picture when growing. Jealous!

I’m so jelly right now….
Dad is so proud!
I want to be a part of this family too! Weird we all feel the same way. I wonder if it was as great as we assume it to be.
Wow… two engineers, a doctor, and oh..sorry for the loss of your one son (red shirt of doom) on what ever planet he beamed down to and was immediately destroyed.
This is the best comment! As soon as I saw in the new movie how 3 people would be going to the plant I knew the one in red wouldn’t be coming back.
actually at this stage of starfleet uniforms, red is for command and gold is for security and engineering ^_^
but that was funny anyway :p
Thanks, Ina, that’s exactly what I was going to post. The “red-shirt-guy-always-dies” thing is SOOOO “Original Series.”
(Yes, I am a nerd, clearly.)
Yeah, i was going to say something like, “Ouch. We know who ISN’T the favored son!”
I have never dressed as a Trek character, but this is a great picture. I love the show, grew up watching it. I hope the Trekkie has been passed down succeeding generations.

Can’t wait till the daughter is old enough to vote! She’s the only one that I “rooted” for haha.
AWESOME!!!
Pure awesomeness!
Anyone else thinking “the one in the red always dies?” o.O
Dad is no dummy… he’s not wearing a Comm Badge. He won’t have to listen to the kids’ “Beam me up” or “Are we there yet?”
this photo has inspired me to make Star Trek costumes for my entire family, our christmas card this year is going to rock.
you’d better post it for us to enjoy!!!
Almost as cool as TOS uniforms. Just saying.
What’s cool is that they’re either all into Trek, which is, of course, awesome, or they’re all humouring dear old dad, which is also very cool.
why couldn’t they be humoring dear old mom? Maybe she’s the Trekkie of the family.
I doubt it…
The dad looks so proud, while the mom looks a little concerned.
this may be one of the most classic photographs on the planet! usually in a situation like this the kids would be dragged into it but it honestly looks like they are as happy to be doing this as their proud pappa is.
I’m jealous that I don’t have my own outfit and communicator to wear. Best family photo EVER!
Holy CRAP, I know them!!!! The guy on the ground went to high school with me!
Yeah, I went to high school with him too! Had the exact same reaction
.
I know the man in the front. That is Keith
dude this is hilariousss nd wayy epicc.
Ok..the mom looks JUST like that doctor that took over for Crusher when she left the Enterprise for a while… Doctor Pulaski…weird yet the coolest thing ever!
Inspiring! I feel better about life . . .
Mr. Zulu, set phasers to tickle!
Best. Picture. Ever.
Those are ST:TNG uniforms – the women have Counselor Troi’s dress. This is the family portrait of my dreams!! Beautiful!
A family that phasers together, stays together
Um this is awesome not awkward. Very awesome. I wish my family was this awesome.
I don’t get it??.
I LOVE THIS, I would’ve died from joy if my family had done this when I was a kid…(this from the 27 year old mother of a 3 year old who recently scored two pairs of Vulcan ears at a yard sale LOL of course I have no idea what I’ll ever do with them…now I have an idea hehehe)

This would have been PERFECT if Dad had worn a Jordi LaForge visor!
