Richard Gadd as Ruben Pallister

This is what happens when you can't decide between "Gilded Age opulence" and "1970s stereo enthusiast." Someone looked at this beautifully carved Victorian cabinet, probably worth a small fortune and definitely worth preserving, and thought, "You know what this needs? A receiver and enough wine to forget the interior design crime we're about to commit." The ornate floral carvings and turned columns are now housing what I can only assume is an 8-track player and some very confused Merlot. It's like watching a museum piece get gently kidnapped by suburban dad energy. The yellow lamp and macramé-adjacent vibes in the corner are just along for the ride at this point.

Before she was dodging Batman in Gotham, Julie Newmar was busy being the high-maintenance queen of Capella IV. Here we see Captain Kirk practicing his favorite diplomatic maneuver: the "stare intensely at a point just off-camera while holding a woman's shoulder." Note the intricate lace on Kirk’s sleeves, nothing screams "intergalactic peacekeeping" quite like a delicate doily cuff. It’s a 1960s vision of the future where the hairspray is structural and the chest hair is always ready for its close-up.
