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.
Not as bad as Jolene Blalock.
I haven't watched ENT yet, but I indeed have heard things about T'Pol.
There were a lot of scenes where characters, generally including T'Pol, would get "decontaminated" which meant rubbing each other down in their underwear.
Don’t forget that Connor Trinneer had to spend one entire episode in their underwear.
There's only one episode where they stretch the scene for an uncomfortable amount of time and have her and Trip really rub each other (as far as I remember).
Edit: The scene https://youtu.be/O4J9UDw6oiA
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.
Right? Like not green skinned enough.
A forehead ridge hits the spot.
They made her wear a unique low-cut purple spandex suit for the first half of the series.
I wonder if any actresses were ever unaware of that role when they played it?
