these are somethings i want to get off my chest..some random thoughts...things involving Trek..don't worry it won't take long....hell, this all out ranting..enjoy. btw, HUGE CONGRATS AND HUGS 4 KIMBA FOR MAKING COMMUNITY SPOT LIGHT. YOU DESERVE IT KIMBA, AND WE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D Now that Trek is offically barely breathing w/the help of life support, watching TNG re-runs not under the influence of "To much Trek drug", got me wanting to say some things... 1. I don't blame Jolene Blalock 4 letting her show have it...As insulting s 3 & 4 of ENT and last episode. I don't remember all wht she said, but she is called the last epi "appaling" & I think she said that seasons 3 & 4 were unorginal (don't totaly quote me on this). Yes, s3 WAS un-orginal. The Killa B's ripped off headlines straight from CNN and thinly disguised it as Trek proganda. Or as I called it, the "Trek News Network or TNN" re-feeding gov. proganda w/relgoius fanatics, killer bugs, WMD, dieases, mass deaths, etc. All ideas from straight CNN in the form of Trek. I liked s4. It was awesome..not overrated..truely some of the best Trek had. I'll admit some of the shouldent have been there, like the Romulans or the humanly Klingons...I didnot care..those were some great arcs and I was glad to be apart of that. So there. 2. Dressing the Trek woman in duck-tape and newspaper pisses me off. Look closely...theres a trend in the shows. TOS had Uhura and Nurse Chapel in short dresses, but that they were resceptable women you could like & not taunt or tease. -TNG/DS9/VGR. Crusher was dressed in full uniform and for 5 seasons (1-5) Troi was dressed in short-revealing uniforms until 6 & 7 and the movies. I did not like the way Troi was written though out TNG. As you can tell, I'm a fan of Trois. The both of them Lwaxana and Jr. There were so many times Deanna could have used her limited Betazoid powers, but instead they opted for cleavage shots, and one-liners...c'mon..Marina S. is pretty good actress and even admitted Troi was dressed that way to look "sexier"..huh? Troi had 5 uniforms..count...F I V E! The short purple dress, the long blue dress, the purple body suit, the blue body suit and finally the teal uniform...O__O. If I was ever cast in a Trek or in charge, I could not liked to be dressed as a sexpot or have my female leads running around the set dressed in duck-tape and newspaper..no way never. Not even 4 the ratings. If u want to truely watch and respect...you do it 4 the intelligence of the charater. Look at Farscape & SGA. Weir & Teyla are both respectable written woman that behave and act and dress in profesional ways and usually have good ideas to conbritue to the team. Farscape has Aeryon & Zotch who also respectable, wise, & intellgant women. Along with the whackyness of Chiana (shes mostly the comic realif) u have a show you can watch and not want to make fun of the chicks b/c of the way they are dressed. makes me mad when u have a good actress not really clothed. now, if it was a hot guy dressed to next to nothing, well then thats a diffrent story..espically when he looks like a chip n dale...*drool*. In DS9, Dax and Kira were cool and smart. No really, I need a sable role-model I can prolly look up to, and the sci-fi chicks (the ones i just mentioned, duh) make for a great start (IMO). Those 2 chicks were given great roles and the only ones reminist of the orion slave girls were the dabu girls..XD hearing "dabu girls" makes me laugh...or hearing "orion slave girl" also makes me want to laugh. then i usually start to off-key sing "naughty girls" by beyonce..."tonite i'll be your naughty girl/calling all the girls..." i love that song, and jkinly i'll say some thing like "love to love ya", both versions of "naughty girls" are the natl. anthums of Orion....XD or "touch me" by samantha fox is the natl. anthum of Betazed. see wht i mean? if u dont...i prolly dont know either. VGR & ENT- B'Ellena, Janeway had good charaters...then here comes 7 of 9 in all her Borg goodness...and boy did the sparks fly for all the fan boys. I saw Jeri Ryan on Boston Public b4 I saw her on VGR. She did a good job on lawyer-turned-teacher, and for a time she was one of my fav.charaters...infact, one of my old high school teachers looked like the fatter, older, mexican version of jeri ryan. i have seen a lil bit of VGR and everytime I saw 7 i wanted to say, "hush 7, u have the mentality of a toaster!" super mean..but hey, the way a charater is written either makes or breaks them it all a matter of opinion. Ex. Almost everyone loves Rodney from SGA. He is a witty, wise cracker u cant get enough of. While Zelenka is a nervous looking sciensist that mutters czeck everynow and then..classic. Then comes ENT. I love n miss u ENT! but goddam...T'Pol..would u belive there's actully more than sex, drugs, and rock n roll to T'Pol. Yes, folks, T'Pol...o.0. If u ever Wikipedia'ed Enterprise. They dragged that vulcan though the mud. sex, drugs & rock n roll for poor ol' T'Pol causing Jolene B. to speak out against the show..u cant blame her. 1st, T wears pink, then blue "out fits" outfits? yes...clothes for tarzan...tarzan see leaves..tarzan pick leaves for jane...jane wears leaves...or as us ENT fans call it, T's "uniform". I made cracks a/b T'Pol not knowing the color of her pregancy test thats why she wears both pink & blue..just in case..all b4 i saw s3. or stuff Trip should say to T'Pol..."No, T'Pol I'am NOT the father..." to my Trek-crazed neigbor. We'd laugh and laugh at T'Pol's charater..poor writing. She dident deserve all of that, and no actress/actor should have a bad charater all b.c the writers/producer/exsecs dont like the show. everytime i see T'Pol, 7, or early Troi...I wanna yell..."PUT SOME CLOTHES, DAMIT" So there...maybe more tomarrow? hahahahaa. :P
