It also doesn't hurt that it's basically a sequel to The Inner Light.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

One of my favorite episodes of TNG for no reason other than the shot of Picard playing the flute with some other actors hands operating the instrument holes. When I realized they weren't his hands I couldn't un-see "Muppet Picard".
Not pictured: Bowie's hands.
Pictured: Bowie Bulge.
Michael Moschen was one of the early pioneers of contact juggling
This explains so much!
It always seriously stumped me as to how Bowie was so good at that. Like did he learn it for the movie? If so, was he practicing all the time, because the movements are seriously flawless. I can't believe I never thought of this.
You have solved one of the great mysteries that has followed me through my life, but apparently never thought to look up.
This is insane, I never realized how much of this is happening right before my eyes! The one I posted was the first I notice on my own because it was as obvious as the Swedish Chef. I didn't even get what Ummthatguy was pointing out until your post gave more context. Guess I was distracted by the bulge!
It is rather mesmerizing.
Tried to find a gif of that shot where Hoggle grabs Jareth's leg and is way too close to the danger-zone, but instead found a behind the scenes shot of both the juggling and the cod piece:
It makes so much sense that a Henson movie is one that flew under the radar for me. I never would have guessed they use the puppet effects on live actors. That's so cool how well simple practical effects work in movies. I wonder how many we still see in modern movies and just assume they are CGI. The Borg Queen was one I saw on here a while back that blew me away.
Dude does brilliant work.
The bulge is 100% Bowie.
I've seen the non picard hands in this gif you posted right here but I didn't realize until just now that the shot in the OP is also fake hands
I didn't even see that! I was just reminded of the other, more obvious shot. I might never be able to watch another movie again without being suspicious if the actors elbows are offscreen!
Please don't tell me the timestamp for that. LOL (or is it the image in the post?)
It is the image I posted. I might be misremembering, maybe it was the from the ~~other episode~~ Inner Light. After that point though, I was constantly on the lookout for more Muppet trek. There was one shot of Riker that was a bit suspicious. 😁
