Ooh, that's brutal.

El Barto · « **Reply #1821 on:** February 03, 2015, 08:33:37 PM »

In all fairness the woman retired from acting and went into Mom mode, so public appearance isn't a huge concern. Furthermore, she never does conventions and also left the show early so she doesn't have the same camaraderie with the rest of the cast. There are plenty of pictures from that convention and she looks like she hates being there. Add to that she probably only gets asked one question at any convention she goes to, which is "uh. . . so were you and Neelix supposed to be getting it on?"

Still, she must constantly feel like she's being stalked by a Jeri Ryan terminator.

I would ask her about the hairdo. Like, whoever thought those were a good idea.
There's one episode where she is Kes Zimmerman and they gave her straight hair for that role, and goddamn she gets a solid +1 on the 0-10 scale.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1823 on:** February 03, 2015, 09:57:21 PM »

I cannot for the life of me tell who that first pic is of. By that last post I assume it's Kes? Damn. She turned into a blob.

She looked better once they gave her the longer hair later on. They just chose an unfortunate episode to make her hair a foot longer, since it was at the end of a screwy time travel episode (one of the best episodes), and at the end I thought her hair was a sign that the timeline was still supposed to be messed up.

Jeri Ryan still looks good.

Damn picked two random TNG episodes to watch and they're both "lurve" heavy episodes

Oh well.

Kinda fun to think about, to rank TNG characters by the quality of their relationship episodes:

Picard is probably top for me. Vash, Crusher, his wife in The Inner Light... all good episodes.
Riker I guess was never meant to be taken seriously in his escapades. The only serious attempt I can think of (the androgynous race) was a stinker though.
Data: Yeaaah. The episode where he is the rebound guy for that ensign is like nails on a chalkboard.
Geordi, he should have just given up. Even though, I guess he kinda personified the standard Trekkie.
Wesley, the one I can think of (The Game) is actually not too bad.
Worf's love affairs were kinda weird overall. Keylar, then Troi, dunno, it kinda was all over the place.
Crusher, two words: Sub Rosa. Nothing can overcome that.

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #1826 on:** February 21, 2015, 05:12:48 PM »

Worf got Dax.

He wins.

Not on TNG he didn't

El Barto · « **Reply #1828 on:** February 21, 2015, 05:34:46 PM »

He was definitely going to bang that jailbait Klingon chick until he noticed the ears. And Riker also had Minuet, which definitely qualifies. There was also the on/off thing with Troi, although I guess that was more movie related. Crusher had some other equally terrible episodes where she was hot for some alien patient and a Trill.

I guess the moral of the story is that anytime TNG tried to do romance it always sucked balls.

You only specified TNG characters not that it had to happen on TNG.

jammindude · « **Reply #1830 on:** February 21, 2015, 08:04:40 PM »

You guys are all just cynics..

I loved most of the romance episodes. Except maybe the one with that DAHM CAHNDLE!!

And even that one is good for laughs...

And Geordi got the hottest woman in the entire ST universe...even though it was only her simulation and not the real thing. Leah Brahms

rumborak · « **Reply #1831 on:** February 21, 2015, 08:19:22 PM »

Really? You like her? Didn't do much for me.
Whereas, Picard scoring on Famke Jannsen, dang.

Orbert · « **Reply #1832 on:** February 21, 2015, 08:24:54 PM »

Wesley didn't get to groove on her, but Ensign Lefler was a young Ashley Judd, and she was adorable.

Data was rebound guy for Lt. D'Sora, played by Michele Scarabelli, who I always thought was really pretty.

Leah Brahms was a babe, but her character turned out to be a real bitch, and that kinda ruined her for me.

I completely forgot about Famke as Kamala. That's a serious contender for winner right there.

So hot... want to touch the hiney. Apparently, she almost got to be Janeway.

Orbert · « **Reply #1834 on:** February 22, 2015, 06:58:57 AM »

She was also up for the part of 7 of 9.

jammindude · « **Reply #1835 on:** February 22, 2015, 09:25:14 AM »

Personally don't like that pic as well. It's weird, I've looked up several pictures of her, and I think she's just hotter in that role for some reason.

Maybe it was the "Dr Quinne Medicine Woman" hair and the fake beauty mark...

Wtf dude

I was gonna reply that the pic above makes her look way hotter than in the episode. Yeah, you must have a thing for that Victorian-style woman

Nefarius · « **Reply #1839 on:** February 23, 2015, 05:10:05 AM »

Definitely Worf. And definitely not Worf. His par'Mach'kai tend to die much too soon.
K'Ehleyr and Jadzia... still missing both of them.

Awesome characters.

Not Victorian style woman per se. I *DO* absolutely have a thing for LONG HAIR. (Crystal Gayle has the greatest hair in the universe) This has been disappointing in the ST universe, because I've often become disappointed in discovering that most of the actresses are wearing a hairpiece to give them more hair. Marina Sirtis did this often. Really a bummer because I LOVE it when she has the really long hair in the episodes, but it's not real.

The Victorian hairstyle (that big poofy thing) is usually the result of having *really long hair* that you have to put up. Leah Brahms had really long hair. Probably not real though...bummer.

Guess the TOS episode by the Japanese title:

https://www.sporcle.com/games/JimmyJames/japanese_star_trek

I got 17/25. Knew another but ran out of time typing it in (longest episode title ever!). Another was the easiest one of the lot (and one of my favorites), but the title slipped my mind. Some of the others just don't make any damn sense.

There's also one of these for TNG episodes, but I couldn't name most of those things in English.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1846 on:** March 05, 2015, 11:06:24 PM »

Now Harve Bennett joins Nimoy. tbh, I had it in my mind he'd already passed. I hope the rule of 3's doesn't have a vendetta against Trek this time.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1847 on:** March 06, 2015, 07:09:47 AM »

The one positive about Nimoy's passing is that they probably won't try to write an X Men style old Kirk and Spock vs Young Kirk and Spock team up.

I don't know why anyone would want 83 year old Bill Shatner as Kirk.

Because there needs to be at least something legitimate Star Trek in the next movie.

I wish that STXI was Nimoy/Spock's last appearance. It would have been a nice passing the torch moment, and a better finish for the character than Into Darkness.
I wouldn't be surprised if the next movie mentions Spock Prime dying.

I'm surprised you're even giving any thought to the next movie. Hell, even Kowtowboy thinks it's gonna suck.

rumborak · « **Reply #1850 on:** March 13, 2015, 06:30:47 PM »

You know, I always thought that Star Trek missed a chance to *not* place Starfleet Headquarters in the US. I think some currently obscure place like, say, Godthab, would have been cool.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1851 on:** March 14, 2015, 12:27:57 AM »

One of many US-centric ideas in the Star Trek universe. When was the first time they mentioned the location of Starfleet? Was TMP the first time, or was it established in TOS? I can't say it surprises me that an American show tries to appeal more to Americans, but it would be nice to see an attempt to be more global.

I was thinking it was TWoK. Not sure if they mention it in TMP.

There's that shot in TMP of Kirk taking the shuttle right past the Golden Gate bridge to Starfleet.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1854 on:** March 14, 2015, 07:19:34 PM »

Still find the blocking on TNG hilarious. How everyone on the bridge will be in shot whatever the angle.

Sometimes a camera angle will change and someone will just nonchalantly step into shot
