That's pretty cool - I'm a huge fan of the series, although it really shows the age of the special effects. The space jellyfish porn scene ends up looking a bit like a couple of bad wigs going at it . . .

Yes, by the standards of the latter half of the series, the pilot was pretty sad.

I can't help but LOL as soon as the vaunted "undocking sequence" begins and the totally inappropriate use of the main theme begins.




The Jedi Master

"Encounter at Farpoint" is a pretty solid tv show pilot. I didn't like the overly-sappy ending thoughy with the space jellyfish action. Oh, and thank god they changed Troi's hairstyle and outfit. She looked pretty atrocious in the pilot.

The new outfit and hairstyle in later seasons really changed my perception of her hotness factor. She was easily overlooked in the pilot.


Wheels

Frankly it wasn't till she put the regular uniform on that I thought she was good. The flowy/billowy thing that replaced the one-piece wasn't a major improvement, just minor.



The Jedi Master

I'd like to see a hi-def blu-ray release of the X-Files (if at all possible).

Believe me, I'd be ecstatic about that as well but I doubt it will happen. I check periodically on any news concerning that and there's nothing so far.

Gates McFadden and Mirina Sirtis in HD?


Where do I sign up?!

+1

I never understood the attraction to Gates McFadden. At best she was an average looking woman and that was back in 1987! Mirina Sirtis though still looks great even today.

A horrible quality picture:

Let's get physical, physical!




Gates is beautiful in her own way.

There's serious pixelation on the original dvd releases!

Yes and add that to the fact that the early seasons used a cheaper film stock and also used 16mm film so those early seasons have episodes that look very grainy and dark. The later seasons looked much better due to having a higher budget and a better cinematographer.

Troi was filmed in the "Mini Skirt" first, but they changed it to the Body Suit later... oy...

Ultimate TNG babe:

Ensign Ro Laren

She looked even better as Admiral Cain in BSG. Damn she was frakking great in that role.

Good now how about Voyager in HD. Jeri Ryan would dazzle in HD.

Jenny Agutter should of got the Dr Crusher role when she auditioned.

Oh wow. I had no idea she auditioned for that role.

There are lots of those "could have beens" in ST as well as other shows. We'll never know of course.


The Jedi Master

Really???

I never cared for her at all.

Yeah I never cared for her either. I think if were going to go ST:TNG I would go with Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) .

Man, Troi sure did have a TON of hair huh?

Actually, I am afraid of HD version.. Why? In HD, those imperfections such as blemish and wrinkles can appear as plain as day then they ain't hot anymore.. Ruins my perfect fantasies. :P

Now give me Jadzia and Ezri Dax in HD, yummmm

Her hair is one of the reasons she is so attractive. Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) was beautiful. Ezri Dax (Nicole de Boer) looked a bit too young I thought. Overall I still think Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) was the best looking. Commander T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) defiantly had nice "assets". My least favorite was probably Kira Nerys (Nana Vistor) which is odd because I really like redheads.

So here is my top five Star Trek Babes (main cast)
1. Jeri Ryan
2. Marina Sirtis
3. Jennifer Lien
4. Jolene Blalock
5. Linda Park

My favorite out of the secondary recurring characters
Chase Masterson (Leeta)

My favorite out of the secondary non recurring characters
Cyia Batten as Irina (The middle one)



Lets not forget some of the other actresses that lent their talent and beauty to Star Trek

Kate Mulgrew ( Captain Kathryn Janeway)
Roxann Dawson (B'Elanna Torres)
Nichelle Nichols (Nyota Uhura)
Linda Park (Hoshi Sato)
Penny Johnson (Kasidy Danielle Yates)
Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar)
Jeri Ryan (7 of 9)
Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi)
Jennifer Lien (Kes)
Jolene Blalock (Commander T'Pol)
Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher)
Diana Muldaur (Dr. Pulaski, Dr. Ann Mulhall)
Rosalind Chao (Keiko O'Brien)
Zoe Saldana (Nyota Uhura)
Majel Barrett (Christine Chapel, Lwaxana Troi, Number One (pilot), Computer Voice)
Martha Hackett (Seska)
Michelle Forbes (Ro Laren)
Chase Masterson (Leeta)
Cyia Batten (Tora Ziyal, Irina, Navaar)
Louise Fletcher (Winn Adami)
Camille Saviola (Opaka Sulan)
Whoopi Goldberg (Guinan)
Barbara March (Lursa)
Gwynyth Walsh (B'Etor)
Patti Yasutake (Alyssa Ogawa)
Molly Brink (Talas)
Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney)
Ashley Judd (Robin Lefler)
Jennifer Hetrick (Vash)
Nancy Hower (Samantha Wildman)
Christine Delgado (Susan Nicoletti)
Alice Krige (Borg Queen)
Susanna Thompson (Borg Queen)


Did I forget anyone?

You see Jennifer Lien lately? Imagine Sinead O Connor not bald or tat'd up.

For many on that list, I'll agree on "talent" but not "beauty." Dr Pulaski? No. Kai Winn? No no.

One name I know you left off was Famke Jansen and her guest spot on TNG. Also Michelle Phillips in We'll Always Have Paris on TNG. Kate Vernon on Voyager.

Frankly, with 28 seasons of episodes, you can easily leave off a LOT.



The Jedi Master

Troi had normal flat ironed hair from First Contact onward.

Yes, when she started having Marina's hair again!



The Jedi Master

I think that is what I liked the most about her.


Wheels

not to mention a butt-tight outfit..

First off I thought her character Kes was gorgeous with long hair. She had a sultry silky voice as well. That being said I don't care about her NOW I care about her THEN. Obviously all the actors and actresses are going to age. Why would I care what she looks like NOW? She is not on Star Trek NOW.

I was bound to miss a few. But those are one shot one episode characters so I don't feel too bad. Thank you for bringing them up.

Also, I was taught you never comment negatively on a females weight, age, teeth, hair, or looks. Kinda rude ya know.
