    Sexist? Sure, I guess if you're some sort of a useless Sensitive Sally it would probably be sexist.

    I keep seeing comments in TBBS from fans who want a series on HBO/SHO/MAX so they can do nudity, among other things.

    Surely it's not the same group of fans who are complaining about Alice in Underpants ... :lol:

    Still, in its original run, what did we talk about? A romantic relationship with Chakotay. Kate Mulgrew's hair. The audience hasn't helped even when it shows characters in power positions. It's no different than keeping Deanna Troi in a catsuit that shows off her breasts and chest every episode. She may be a terrific counselor, and she is in a nurturing role, but she is there for men to be distracted by her beauty as well. And every episode where she is featured, she is either pregnant, in a relationship with the wrong man, or she's highly emotional.

    It's interesting that in other sci-fi women had more prominent command roles. Starship Troopers comes to mind - women in combat dressed the same as the men. Women in command did the same.

    Who can forget the shower seen in Troopers?
