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.

I wonder if any actresses were ever unaware of that role when they played it?

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.

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.

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).

Not as bad as Jolene Blalock.

I don’t know, would you rather spend 4 entire years in bone tight fetish outfits too tight to sit down in and 4 inch heels, or 4 years in a relatively sensible jumpsuit or a jacket/pants ensemble but you have to peel to your undies and share a bottle of baby oil with a male castmate for 3 minutes?

Dude, T’Pol’s uniform was also a skintight catsuit. It’s like all the downsides of 7 plus the glitter oil.

At least Blalock didn’t faint because her costume prevented her from breathing

This is the outfit in question, which strikes me as more modest than any of Troi’s various jumpsuits. The neckline is less open, the material is more substantial, and it doesn’t really seem to fit much tighter than average women’s clothing. I don’t believe this outfit has a built-in corset the way Seven’s catsuits did. I’m speaking as a man, here: If you gave me the choice between Seven’s or T’Pol’s costume, I’d choose T’Pol’s. I’d look hilariously stupid in both but I think T’Pols suit would hurt less.

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.

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

Don’t forget that Connor Trinneer had to spend one entire episode in their underwear.

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