    Sorry, for the quality. It was the only screenshot I’ve found. In this shot from “Man of the People”, you can clearly see the dress/nightgown Marina Sirtis is wearing is highlighting her nipples.

    FYI, Sirtis has stated in interview(s?) that she was aware that she was the sex symbol for the show.

      Poor woman I remember in one interview she mentioned the outfit they gave her (up until Jellico made Troi start wearing a uniform) was so fitted that she couldn’t gain a single pound.

        I feel like what they did with Jerri Ryan was worse. At least for Deanna, it was in character.

        Seven was a well-written character, but the wardrobe choices still infuriated me. That is probably one thing PIC got right.

              There were a lot of scenes where characters, generally including T’Pol, would get “decontaminated” which meant rubbing each other down in their underwear.

                  I saw an early screening of that episode at a post-con event at a Star Trek pub in London.

                  When that scene came on a ripple of ‘FFS - really‽’ laughter went round the room, just because of how blatant it was.

          Yeah from Both Drone to Socially Awkward Catsuit Lady seemed silly. Especially in a show with powerful women (e.g. as captain and as chief engineer).

        Once again: Jellico was the hero the Enterprise needed, not the one it wanted.

      She was in a couple Cannon company explotation films in her early career. She has thanked the show for getting her out of that explicitly abusive part of the industry.

      I’ll be honest, I never saw the appeal. I enjoyed her character interactions, but she was not my thing.
