The Babes of Trek
I gave it a solid 8. I had pretty much given up on Enterprise. My wife loves it. I was reading a book while she was watching it (Mission Gamma : Book I....good book!) and found myself pulled in by the story. Wow, this is why I loved Trek! A glimmer of hope in the Enterprise franchise! I hope the guys continue on in this tradition. And, I am looking forward to the upcoming episode with the Andorians. They've never looked so cool. Jeffry Combs makes such a good Andorian. He is an asset to the Trek universe as a character actor. He is so memorable, as Weyoun, Brundt, and now his new character in Enterprise.
Now, somebody said something about T'Pol's outfit. What is up with Trek and dressing their women in catsuits and such? It goes way back as a Trek tradition. In TOS, we had the mini-skirts that were standard issue for all the ladies onboard the Enterprise. Then, in TNG we had Troi in all sorts of outfits. However, wouldn't you agree she looked sexiest in the actual uniforme? I think Troi made the Starfleet uniform look better than anybody else did.
I guess we have to give DS9 some credit. Of course, I am prejudiced when it comes to this one, it is my fav. However, I don't recall any regular characters gallavanting around in skin tight suits or short skirts. However....mirror universe Kira always looked tintilating in that black leather. Ahem...now moving right along.
Of course in Voyager we have the 7 of 9 catsuit. What's up with that? Well, I guess the boys in charge feel the need for a sex symbol in the shows to draw in more audience? I don't know about you, but the best looking ladies in trek were Marina Sirtis and Terry Farrell when they had on their standard issue Starfleet uniforms.
