It's amazing what padding will do for some actresses......

it has launched a number of carriers that otherwise would have gone bust

I never have understood her [Denise Crosby] popularity that way, her or really ANY of the "big name" female Trek characters other than T'Pol and Hoshi. The series has had much more attractive women in much less recurrent roles. Lt. Marlena, Natira, and Xarabeth from TOS, Robin Lefler, Leah Brahms, and Commander Shelby from TNG, Leeta from DS9, and Ensign Cutler and T'Pau from Enterprise - all much better looking than Uhura, Troi, Yar, Crusher, Kira, Dax, etc.

That and she was a bit of a "frost B

" at a local convention one time... Even Shatner acted pretty decently at this one little con he was at.... even going so far as to "joke" a bit on someone's cell phone because a fan was talking to someone during his talk... We got the "It's Bill Shatner", "YES, it's really Bill Shatner you're talking to!". By this time we were rolling... Then had to leave early to go to a friend's wedding. Bill was already dressed for the wedding, I had to go home and change... Damned if I was wearing a

ing dress to a con!!!!

But most actors/actresses I've met have been cool. Had fun one time freaking out Gwyneth Walsh (one of the "Duras Sisters") with a Worf figure I'd put a pink bathrobe on and put it into a box for a different figure and had it sitting on the floor in the front row.... She kept looking down several times, trying to figure out what the hell....? The I had her sign the box for funsies!

A friend and I got Tony Todd to sign a cartoon he (the friend) did of Worf in the bathrobe with a rolled up newspaper, coffee mug and one pissed-off look on his face.... Tony laughed his butt off with that one! (too bad the friend lost the pic... )

And the same lack of actiung ability!!

Don't hold her looks against her. T'Pol and Seven are both supposed to be characters with contained emotions, so it is harder to see, but Blalock can act. I was very moved by her performance when she went to see Porthos after they thought Archer was dead. And she does a lot with her eyes - the sort of thing Jeri Ryan should have been doing, but was either incapable or didn't care enough.

Yowch!

What a way to get all the sailors to "come to attention", eh?

I'm not judsging them soleing on these roles. I've seen each in other roles and characters aas well and I was not impressed at all.

Sorry, was never in the Navy....

Sorry, was never in the Navy....

Neither could I. Couldn't get in due to medical reasons.

I have several friends, including my ex-boyfriend, who were in the Navy.

I guess Jeri Ryan was wanting/hoping that her "physical attributes" woulda carried her thru the show.... :\ It did for those lonely fanboys who couldn't look at a female otherwise....

I almiost went but the recruiters were to much like used car salesmen, they refused to give a straight and accurate answer.

 

[Darth K'Trava]

Yes it did, I have the episodes that prove it

So do I. On the same tapes as DS9... Which makes me not want to watch them as Voyager just got more and more stupid as the years went on.
