Cinescape (extremely slow ASP server.. grab a cup of coffee first!) has got some new publicity shots out! Good quality pics of the crewmembers.
One thing that surprised me where the radiant blue eyes of Dr. Phlox. That tunes down his Neelix-ness just a bit, which is good.

The divisions seem to be roughly the same as TOS:
Gold for Command, Red (a bit more bordeaux-ish than in TOS and the 24th century series) for Operations and Blue for Science (and Medical, probably). Communications is part of the Science division, instead of Ops like in TOS.

Oh, yes, and it seems like T'Pol is a bit underfed in her ridiculously tight uniform. Vulcans really shouldn't go down the sexy lane.

Hey, there's at least a couple notably attractive female Vulcans from DS9, to say nothing of Dr. Selar (mrowrr!). I agree with you though, T'Pol's outfit shows a bit too much of Blalock's supermodel trim, which is a bit on the waify side.

I'm gonna have to say Linda Park is much more attractive than Jolene Blalock, who looks like nothing more than a Seven of Nine clone.

I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

Dont get me wrong, Jolene Blalock in that Maxim shoot was beautiful. As a Vulcan, she's rather dull. Even in the tight suit.

Linda Park as Sato is fine. I agree with hobbes. She's the shows babe in my eyes.... i love those asians...

IIRC, Park is a Korean surname. But being a common English word probably throws off a lot of Americans.

OTOH, what is it with TV producers and the letter X? "Hey, we have an alien, figure out some name with an X in it." Why not something like (okay, I'm dating myself here) DC Comics character J'onn J'onzz, pronounced John Jones? There's nothing wrong with an alien whose name sounds like perfectly normal English.

Yo, drooling over beatiful woman is one thing, drooling over a woman because she dress like vulcan is.....rather questionable for my taste.

But that's my opinion anyway, and everyone deserve different opinions.

That sounds incredibly ethnocentric and narrow-minded. The Park example should have taught you that Americans don't have a monopoly on English-sounding names.

A sci-fi clich� is that some alien either has a simple name like Spock, Worf, Dax, Neelix, Kes or Phlox or has a long, unpronounceable name so some ostensibly American character comes up with an Americanized nickname. Like the ship nicknamed Max in "Flight of the Navigator."

So, not only should aliens talk like Americans, act like Americans, and look like Americans, but they should also have American names as well? Right.

Yes, I agree. Contrary to what that dumbass Richard Arnold said, and also contary to Berman's response to Arnold, there's still no way around it: T'Pol is a 7 of 9 clone. However, it just doesn't work with Blalock. In that "Vulcan military uniform" as Berman calls it, her body has about as much sultryness as Ally McBeal's. I hope that after a few episodes, TPTB change their minds about catsuits.

Granted, I haven't seen any episodes yet, so I don't know how Blalock will actually turn out on screen. But if the pics are any indication, the Vulcan High Command should take a lesson from the Earth Starfleet: Baggy is good.

I bet Linda Park has received lots of unwelcome comments from narrowminded people with this attitude. "Gee, you don't look like a Park. You look like a Chan or a Mitsubishi or something. Everyone knows Park is a name for white people, like Bert Parks." It's like saying an ET can't be named Jimm because he's not American. It might be a perfectly good name in his language, but it roils your ethnocentric sensitivities.

Let's kill two birds with one stone. Bring in Alan Rickman as Dr. Lazarus. He doesn't act or talk like an American and he has a real name, not something artificially alien like Splox or Feklar.

Wow, T'Pol looks so awkward in that uniform. It's as if she has some disability that dislocates her hips or something. Maybe it's just the third picture in the gallery, I haven't even looked at the rest yet. But it looks weird.

Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.
