    Grandpa: "I'm an old man, no one listens to me."

    Lisa: "I'm a young girl, no one listens to me."

    Homer: "I'm a white male aged 18 to 49, everyone listens to me, no matter how dumb my suggestions are."

    He then goes to the cabinet and takes out a can of food titled, "Nuts and Gum: Together At Last"

    Episode: The one where Lisa invents an alternative to the talking stacy-malibu doll

    Paris. Much to the EMH's annoyance, IIRC.

    I know you weren't asking me per se.

    That's not a catsuit. It wasn't really all that sexy because it looked like she could still breathe while wearing it.

    Of course it was a catsuit. Don't be silly.

    He was about as white as Idris Elba.

    you know how sometimes you're reading a thread and you don't notice that they've sent you to a page behind every one else, so that when you think you're answering to something pertinent and in context, it's actually a comment targeted to what was said on the last page, and bares no actual relevance to the post directly above where you're typing?

    The board can be a dick some times.

    Paris actually had the job before Kes. But generally after Kes left, the Doctor normally worked without an assistant always at his side.

    Nah, calling that a catsuit is silly because you might as well say every woman in VOY wore a catsuit then.

    It's clearly a catsuit.

    A cat suit does not a vava voom make.

    Sevens "costume" was two sizes to small.

    3?

    Her ass and her boobs were both trying to escape from either end.

    What Jennifer is wearing I can imagine crawling in there with her like it were a sleeping bag made for two.

    It's a cat-suit. Lien just didn't have that gudunkgudunk that Ryan had.

    The drug-use rumours (whether true or not), set off by her bizarre public appearances were quite rampant at the time. Sure, only a tiny percentage of viewers actually attend conventions, but the negative publicity for the Star Trek brand was potentially just as wide-spreading in the media as the more positive one of Kim being named as one of 50 Beautiful People.

    Plus Jeri Ryan's catsuits had built in corsets.

    Jennifer Lien's catsuit didn't.

    Then every woman wore a catsuit between TNG and ENT then if a catsuit is any one-piece outfit.

    If you say so. Although we both know you're being silly.

    Nope, I'm being factual. Take a look at the standard female Starfleet uniforms beginning with the first episode of TNG to Nemesis. Have you ever noticed how tight all of them are? They're catsuits by your definition.

    Kes is still wearing a catsuit in that picture.

    You just need to face up to that fact.
