[QUOTE]Originally posted by crobato: [QB] Boy do you happen to have Okuda's encyclopedia? It was a dialog from McCoy that mentioned in effect that humanity met the Klingons met 50 years before, setting a date---2218. Go check it out. As for alien cliques, what you don't think this viking stuff, forehead makeup and pointy ears doesn't wear thin do you? How about blue aliens? All TV series are practically built on unknowns, but this is the first time Star Trek has gone to using a major lead star from another TV series, and probably paying record fee for it. You don't think they picked Bakula because he's got a command presence in screen do you? Is it the name? The Quantum Leap fandom? Buffy's contemporary atmosphere and sense of irrelevance allows room for sexiness to be displayed in a natural way. In any case they don't flaunt it. But Trek's atmosphere is built on a lot more more dignity and reverence. That's what people expect from it. Jeri Ryan does not act badly, so the hell does she need to go flaunting around in a tight jumpsuit? What is wrong with a standard Federation uniform? It's decisions like that made that demeaned the series. Small infractions like these build up in time, and in a TV series *lasting* impressions count. As for TOS, displaying women like that doesn't make it right. Because TOS used it sound right still doesn't make it right. But then that's the sixties and things tend to be campier and very sexually liberated. One of the best things TNG did was to extrude a sense of dignity and seriousness TOS lacked. And they kept that sense of dignity till they had to make Ryan wear that jumpsuit. Yeah, I can't wait till the Rock would guest star in Enterprise. [/QB][/QUOTE]
