BLATHER REVIEW

My favorite has always been the young lady in "The Empath" episode, who could heal others by taking their pain to herself. I think her name was Mira(?). Good looks, and great fringe benefits if you got sick !!

The Indian girl who Jim falls for. What was her name? Oh yeah. Miramanee!!!!!

Hands down, it was Kirk's drill Thrall "Shahna", played by Angelique Pettijohn.

FriendlyFFF, McCoy named her "Gem". Miri was the adolescent girl in the episode Miri. The "grups" n' all...

Arlene Martel, the chick who played T'Pring, Spock's betrothed in the episode "Amoke Time." Aside from having that exotic Vulcan look, she was viciously logical. What more could a man want?

Excellent nominee, AZ. And I like yer reasons. I think I'll finally have to figure out how do a legitimate poll and have a finals. That could be fun. :)

Second for Dr. Noel (though I thought I was the only one). Too bad she ended up married to Fredo.

No, no, no--though they're all excellent choices. The gang did get to "take their boots off" a bit, didn't they. However, you may all be forgetting the blonde from the planet with too many people (can't think of her name--little help out there?)

Try using Mr. Poll.

Deela from "Wink of an Eye"
aka Kathie Browne aka Mrs. Darren McGavin

That was Odona of Gideon from the episode The Mark of Gideon. Yeah, I googled, what of it...? ;P

If this is open to more than the Original Series, I have to go with Chase Masterson, Leeta the Dabo Girl from DS 9.

bb, Wink of an Eye was a different episode. I, er... Promise. ;)

They never showed Uhura's (was that her name? The black chick) ass enough. She had a great, but seldom seen, ass.

Ooops, sorry bb, I misunderstood yer post. Deela was a real wicked fast beauty.

Greg, we're stickin' the TOS for this. Otherwise it could get out of hand pretty quickly. :o

Susan Oliver (Vina) as a green Orion Slave Girl in The Menagerie (Part Two).

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to nominate our lovely Vina. (Though I thought she was even sexier as the picnic girl...)

Spork - thanks for the correction - I did mean Gem. :-)

Marianna (schwatzkopf is her birth name) Hill (cousin to Norman Schwatzkpf, btw) was also great as Callie in High Plains Drifter, and did a cult surrealistic zombie film as well called Messiah of Evil.!!

Drop dead gorgeous (no pun intended)

What about the "Charming Nigress"

Who?

I think i took Yarnek home from the bar last weekend, but anyway.

as for best trek babes, it would be hard to beat the dr. crusher-deanna-tasha yar trio.

the half-borg lady with the huge rack never did much for me unless you caught her out of costume.

she's babraham lincoln in civvies, but really, who wants to roll w/a chick who's got an optical sensor array glued to her forehead?

not me. you'd have to go with the piano player on Qualor 2, Lor Famigal before you go
borg-implant on the forehead.

the firecracker Irish daughter was hot too.

terri garr must be mentioned.

all of mudd's women were hot.

so too was the genetically-engineered peace bride, the one the whole crew, klingons and
capt picard included, fell in love with.

stephanie beacham as moriarty's lady in "ship in a bottle" must be given her due.

all the roman babes in "plato's stepchildren"

honorable mention to all the babes hanging out with david soul in "the apple"

i will accept "chekov's drill thrall" as an answer as well.

cant forget joan collins.

and, call me nutty but i always had a thing for rishon uxbridge. if that chick didnt know her planet had been blown up except for her own house, then i want to party with her.

of course the babes in "plato's stepchildren" would be greek, not roman.

management regrets the error.

I have 2 nominees:

Marta the Orion slave girl from "Whom Gods Destroy." She was played by the scrumtious Yvonne Craig (Batgirl!!!) and Garth of Izar blows her up real good.

But the most beautiful woman was the smokin' hot Yeoman Barrows from "Shore Leave." She's the hottie that McCoy takes a liking to, who dresses like a princess after Don Juan tears her uniform.

Click on the "Leonard McCoy/Tonia Barrows story linklist" link (bottom half of page - I can't post the direct url for some reason.)

Lt. Marlena Moreau, the Captian's Woman of the Mirror-Universe Kirk.

Played by Barbara Luna.

Wow! More goodies. Keep 'em coming!!! :)

You have all made excellent choices, but you have somehow missed the hottest beauty of them all: Nona, the medicine woman, and wife of Tyree in "A Private Little War". She heals Kirk of a bad wound using a mako root. Nona was of course played by the delectable Nancy Kovack. Nancy was an absolute goddess who is probably more famous for playing Medea in "Jason And The Argonauts". In real life, Nancy married Zubin Mehta, the conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra (lucky guy!) Check her out at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Kovack

Yvonne Craig wins my vote, hands down.

1. The female Romulan commander from "The Enterprise Incident." Played by Joanne Linville.

2. Uhura, no question.

3. Yeah, Marlena Moreau was pretty smokin' too.

ELT

Sorry. Yvonne's green Orion slavegirl would have been eaten alive by Vina.

I love Batgirl n' all, but Yvonne's Orion gal is not up to snuff.

She sure was pretty, though. :)

Speaking from a heterosexual female perspective, any votes for Julie Newmar? (Can't remember the episode). I've just always been a fan of hers since she played Catwoman. How about Leslie Parrish in "Who Mourns for Adonis"?

In no particular order:

1. The leader of the Scalosians in "Wink of an Eye" (one of the only women with whom we know fer sher that Jimmy Boy gets it on with!).

2. The classicist from the Apollo episode.

3. The android chick built by Mr. "I am Brahms".

4. The chick officer who gets powered up in "Where No man has Gone Before".

5. The JAG officer who prosecutes Kirk in "The Court-Martial".

6. ...And of course, who could forget the scrumptious Randy Yeoman, err, Yeoman Rand (heinous beehive 'do notwithstanding)?!?

Hm. Very odd: I normally prefer brunettes. Yet I believe every woman I've selected is a blonde! Go figure...

Mariette Hartley, playing "Zarabeth" in the episode "All Our Yesterdays".

http://www.sherylfranklin.com/trekwomen_zarabeth.html

My vote's for Kara (Tania Lemani), the belly dancer from "Wolf In the Fold". (Too bad she didn't survive the teaser...)

Andrea, from "What are Little Girls Made of", played by Sherry Jackson. Best...costume...ever....

Geordi's wife the warp-tech chick???

the klingon coup plotter-babes Ursa and Bator have a dirty biker-chick thing going.

Picard's anthro-dig buddy, Vash.
forgot about her. Sch-wing.

wes crusher's little friend in the freaky headset-toy episode. she was hot in a junior college science geek sort of way. or not.

um...er...

Sophie Marceau in "Braveheart" oh wait.
never mind.

Chekov's russian ex in "Way to Eden",
yeay tovarich.

Jojo Kracko had a hot blond gun moll in "Piece of the Action"

Oh. what about what's her name, the blond ice cave woman who nursed Spock back to health in the one episode in a cave where spock and kirk go at it. was it a Mr. Atos episode or some shit? help me out. she was a recongizable actress outside of star trek.

throw me a bone here.

what is her name???

I have often enjoyed pondering this question. My favorites:

1) Lt. Marla McGivers (the late Madlyn Rhue) who fell for Khan in Space Seed.

2) Rayna Kapec (Louise Sorel) the android created by the near immortal Flint in Requiem for Methuselah. A wonderful performance.

Mudd's Women, take your pic, it is a three way tie for first

Mudd's women have got to be at the top of the list.

Just FYI, the girl that played "Miri" in the episode of the same name later went on and starred opposite John Wayne in the classic "True Grit", and played John Kusack's ditzy mother in the hilarious movie "Better Off Dead".

I see that someone already nominated my choice of Susan Oliver from The Menagerie. You wouldn't go wrong with either the picnic girl or the green slave dancer.

The federation commissioner woman from the episode with Zephram Cochrane and the Companion is the best looking woman on TOS. Bit of a pill though.

The "genetically engineered peace bride" was none other than Famke Janssen (Jean Grey in the X-men movies). I fell in love with her the moment she came on screen. Her character's name was Kamala and the Next Generation episode was "The Perfect Mate".

What?!?!

Not one nomination for Joan Collins???

Shame.

Fear not, Ted. i busted out the Joan Collins reference earlier.

Jim...Edith Keeler must die. Oh yeah, and John Barleycorn too.

My votes go to
Madlyn Rhue (Lieutenant Marla McGivers) from Space Seed. She is the youg lovely who so adores Napoleon and Alexander the great that she is a pushover for Khan Noonian Singh when he is thawed out.

Julie Newmar (Eleen of Capella) from Friday's Child. I mean, c'mon, its Catwoman. Six feet of curvaeous beauty. She defines 'glamazon.'

Lt. Uhura, but only on the episode Mirror, Mirror, where she shows her well-sculpted torso and threatens Sulu with a knife. Gotta love those dangerous barbarian babes.

Leslie Parrish (Lieutenant Carolyn Palamas) in Who Mourns For Adonis. Oh my goodness, that dress ... that dress ... Richard Bach is a lucky, lucky man.

Me again: I notice Polly, heterosexual female in an earlier comment, picked my two favorites, Julie Newmar and Leslie Parrish.

To return the favor, and introduce gender balance, let me send along my wife's heterosexual female recommendation for her favorite handsome guy character: that was William Campbell, who Trelane in The Squire of Gothos. His plusses: dresses in lace and cravat, handsome, elegant sneering, spoilt, superhuman control of matter and energy.

(I have no idea why my wife likes sneering, spoilt guys, but, honestly, considering my own character flaws, I am not complaining. )

/Oh. what about what's her name, the blond ice cave woman who nursed Spock back to health in the one episode in a cave where spock and kirk go at it. was it a Mr. Atos episode or some shit? help me out. she was a recongizable actress outside of star trek./

Googling now ... working .... working .... bing!

Mariette Hartley as Zarabeth in the episode ALL OUR YESTERDAYS.

John C. Wright - How thoughtful to think of us ladies. Before I give my top men, let me add Lee Meriwhether in "That Which Survives". Oddly enough, she also played Catwoman. And Sally Kellerman in "Where No Man Has Gone Before". I have to add that Richard Bach may have been lucky to land Leslie Parrish, but he wasn't smart enough to hang on to her. They divorced and now he's married to some girl 30 years his junior. He always struck me as a bit smarmy and the type who needed someone to adore him..... a narcissist.

To answer some questions above, the actress who played Miri is Kim Darby. The actress who played Wes Crusher's friend on the episode with the addictive game is Ashley Judd. The actress with whom Zephram Cochran fell in love is Elinor Donahue from "Family Knows Best".

Okay, as for the men, there is only one. James T. Kirk. My two runner-ups are Jeffrey Hunter as Christopher Pike, and Gary Lockwood as Gary Mitchell in "Where No Man Has Gone Before". (As for the newer shows, Capt Archer, Scot Bakula, floats my boat.) Most of the male guest stars, in all of the Star Trek incarnations, always struck me as a bit wimpy.

"Most of the male guest stars, in all of the Star Trek incarnations, always struck me as a bit wimpy."

He had a small part, but Finigan (Bruce Mars) Kirk's nemesis from "Shore Leave" was a man's man through and through. Those altercations between Kirk and Finigan are just plain old-fashioned brawling. Not a wimp in sight.

Vertex11- I'll give you Finigan. That was a good fight. I'm sure there are other exceptions, but they were exceptions. Too many weird costumes and diplomacy.

Ok, you want to vote? Here's a poll:

Sorry if I left anyone's favorite out, but I think this should pretty much cover it.
