Of course not. She's not submissive enough.
Can you imagine a submissive BORG?
Might as well imagine a laughing Vulcan.
(To be fair, that's ^ a laughing Romulan!
)
You guys have been busy while I've been gone.
But fighting over the Craft services? Ladies, surely we haven't steeped so low to abandon our positions on which Janeway hairdo rates the most respect for the silliness of donuts and big macs?
Makes me think of a poem I learned in high school.
Richard Cory
By 1869–1935 Edwin Arlington Robinson
Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.
They have a tough enough life, the men and women who give voice to our heroes and heroines. Lets not begrudge them a donut or two.
As for Jen Lein... lets leave the poor woman alone. She left the show (forced off, yes Lynx, I am aware of the difference) over 17 years ago, her weight is her business. I'm sad to think how OitNB is celebrated for showing women of all shapes, sizes, colors, orientations and yet we pummel an actress for gaining weight.
As for the idea that "aging women are like milk"... that's a load of horse hockey, to use Colonel Potter's term.
Have you seen
Sophia Loren lately? I feel sorry for Sasha Alexander (DR Maura Isles of Rizzoli & Isles) who has to compete with THAT icon every day of her married life. (Sophia is her Mother in Law
)
One of the most beautiful women in Hollywood in the 1930's was
still one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood in the 1980's... and Kate Hepburn did it without botox or face lifts.
Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, which is why threads like this go on and on because we all see what
we want, what we
will, and what we are unfortunately sometimes
programmed to see.
Its my job to remind visitors to this thread to fight against their programming that says size zero 19 year olds are the standard of beauty to which society should aspire, and instead say....
WHAT THE F 
K???
But what about
KATE! 
I'm one those annoying people who feels the need to correct the inaccuracies of others.
