You’re familiar with Tim Gunn telling designers to “make it work” on Project Runway but you may not yet be familiar with him telling us what doesn’t work i superhero and sci-fi costumes on Crazy Sexy Geeks. We’re here to fix that.

In this latest episode, comic book historian Alan Kistler and geeky actress Jennifer Ewing sit down with everyone’s favorite dapper man to discuss the fashion of Star Trek. Hit the jump to watch even more Gunn/Trek fashion talk plus gender issues of the Original Series.

Kistler has a column on Newsarama entitled, Agent of S.T.Y.L.E. where he dissects superhero fashion regularly, and in the interest of full-disclosure (and shameless self-promotion), he also co-hosts Crazy Sexy Geeks: The Podcast! with yours truly.
