I think by the time she put on that uniform, everyone had noticed that she was gaining too much weight so instead they blew up her hair. I seriously found no point in her getting pregnant during season2 episode 1 for 1 damned episode. After that she and everyone else on the ship forgot she had an alien inside her.

I thought she had the kid and it grew up extremely fast, then left or died or something.

But yeah, the normal starfleet type uniform sucked, i think that was only the last couple of seasons at least.

I believe it was a weight issue that caused them to switch her to the standard Starfleet Uniform, but it was explained in canon as it happened during Chain of Command when Jellico took over and demanded she wear it.

Of course, it was always suspect that a Starfleet Officer wouldn't wear a uniform while on duty. Never mind having a counselor on board (which was a regret of the production staff later on, claiming it was "too 80s"). That whole position is fairly weird anyway. The 2nd version of Dax was a counselor, but no counselor was present before her IIRC, and Voyager understandably didn't have one, and that was canon as Janeway stated in one season 1 episode she wishes they had a counselor on-board, but it wasn't necessary on the type of ship they were on.

I always figured a counselor was necessary with the Enterprise being a Flagship with so many missions with different cultures, especially when first contact could occur at anytime.

Anyhow, I think Mirina Sirtis looked better when she was older and a little heavier.

Anyone notice, 1 counselor for 1000+ people! NO SUPPORT STAFF!!


How the hell does she have time to sit on the bridge with those many people in her appointment book?

You know when I was just entering puberty and hormones getting all fired up, I wondered if I was in the turbo lift and Troi entered the lift wearing season's 3 blue outfit, if she could sense I was getting a hard one

I would imagine that most people are well adjusted in the 24th century and that some counseling for lesser issue could be done via subspace. I'd liken Troi as a morale officer more than anything. Also, the fact she is an empath would probably make it much easier for her to deal with people than a human counselor.

Barkley seems to have been her only regular patient, he was nuts anyway. Honestly, i think her being empathic made her more important than a human counselor would have been.

I think "The Child" and (much later) "Devil's Due" were both episodes that were holdovers from New Star Trek (or whatever it was going to be called) -- the series that was proposed after ST: The Motion Picture but never got off the ground.

Both episodes turned out weird because they shoehorned Next Generation characters into roles that were envisioned for other characters.

It could just be that Marina Sirtis herself asked for a change in the character. Troi was one of the more aimless characters, and "Troi episodes" were usually horrid. [*] I forget if "Face of the Enemy" was before or after the uniform change [checks -- it was after, but not by much], but that could have pointed to new directions for her character.
[*] One of my favorite moments in the otherwise awful "The Loss", where planar aliens incapacitate the ship and remove Troi's powers, is when Troi exclaims to Data "we have to get two-dimensional!"

You're thinking Star Trek: Phase II.

The Child, The Loss, Night Terrors, Eye of the beholder were god awful Troi Episodes. Oh yea, and that episode where that alien dude passed something to her and she got all sexed up and then got old. Same with that Mind Rape episode.

Anyone remember Tasha's sister? After she had that operation and was wearing that blue skin tight outfit I was like It would have been intresting if she came on board shortly after but before season 2 and took over for her.

seeing how this is a sulu titled thread...

but poor captain kirk isn't invited

I've heard that Shatner and Takei don't get along very well.

I posted this over in the June Pickup post, but I figured I could also post it here. I recently bought these on ebay.

You know I have heard about problems between Shatner and Takei and you know what? Those two need to ing grow up! Unless Shatner did something super horrible to Takei, then they need to shake hands and make peace and act like starfleet officers damn it!

A few years ago I saw these in a nice display case in a model shop. When I asked the store employee how much for those (since others were tagged) they
said they are not for sale as one of our employees made them herself. I was ready to say BULLSHIT, but just left after I placed an order for the Republic cruiser model which they claim they could order. Then of course weeks later I get a call saying that they can't order it because it's banned from being imported into the US. A freaking model of a star wars star ship is BANNED from importing in to the US!?!?!? WTF!!!?!?!?!?!

That doesn't sound like a shop you should do business with.


Actually the Star Trek ships are from Japanese claw machines, if you want to buy some search for Furuta Star Trek on ebay. Most of them only cost a few dollars, though there are a few rare ones that cost more (like the Defiant, it's about $50 on ebay. The Enterprise E I bought was about $12).

I also have some more that I bought a few years ago, the Enterprise D, Deep Space Nine, the Rio Grande, the Enterprise A, a Klingon Bird of Prey, a Cardassian Warship, and a Borg Cube.

Data as Sherlock on now on Sci-Fi. One of the better season two episodes IMO.

Well I am starting to think that they are showing several episodes of each season every monday. So basically if this holds true, next week will be season 3.

the egg scene

First appearance of the borg! *nedrgasm*

Man, I wish Sonya Gomez had been a more permanent character on TNG.
