So...women in the new Trek series.

I prefer to pretend that episode doesn't exist
.I believe it was written by the same person who scripted the abysmal "Tasha Yar on Planet Africa" episode in S1.
Past/present/future tense aside, you got my point.
I think all women should wear nun robes while men should wear nothing but their underwear.
We are for equality after all.

^ Yes I do. I've had to endure women in catsuits and gratuitous underwear scenes, it's about time men were treated as nothing more than eye candy.

Well, when the majority of your audience are males, there's going to be more women wearing revealing clothes than men.
Besides, you gals got episodes like this!
Hell, I can't even complain. They're fine looking fellas.
And that's not even mentioning the other 50 episodes where Kirk gets his shirt torn just where he can show off his pecs
I think it would be very nice if one of the new main cast is a Muslim woman who wears a hijab (hair-covering scarf).
Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov were on that bridge for a very good reason, and we should all remember that.

I think this topic is very important. I believe there is nothing wrong with making women look attractive, but the caveats that some of you have mentioned should hold, e.g, the other characters should treat women the same and the eye-candy should not be over the top.
I would like to remind people of how TNG tried to skirt the issue during its first season. The idea of unisex uniforms being in two varieties: overall and skirt uniform. If the next Star Trek show wanted to do something brave and get noticed it may need to revisit some of those idea.
A girl I know is a big fan of the 2009 reboot, but she did mention Zoe Saldana's uniform as being a little sexist. She was surprised when I told her about the uniforms William Ware Theiss created for TNG. She quickly find some pictures of men wearing the skirt uniform on the internet.
Some have commented just how much they hated the sight of men wearing those skirt uniforms in TNG. I don't get that opinion. To me those men were a necessary part of the shows setting. I felt it was entirely plausible that those men would wear clothing that was more revealing. It embodied choice, even if would not be my own personally.
I think the next Star Trek TV should keep that in mind. I wonder if the rumors are true that the show won't be set in J.J. Abrams reboot universe because they can then dodge the issue of women wearing 60s style mini-skirt and by extension the experiment TNG conducted. I hope that Alex Kurtzman will in this matter and many others regarding the shows settings make some bold choices.

^ The thing that bothers me most about the NuTrek films is that men don't have the sleeveless option, it seems to imply that women will never attain a sufficiently important enough rank to warrant displaying it--that's the impression I'm always left with anyway.
When you look at all of the TNG-ENT uniforms, they have never been unflattering, in that they are tailored to fit well, so they show male and female characters off as being fit without being gratuitous, which is what's needed for the next series.
As for the unisex skant, I would love to see it return, it does make a statement--one that would mean a little more if the main male cast wore them at times.

There should be a mix--some women in trousers, some in skirts.
Well, if it's equality you want, how about everybody just walks around the ship like they're going to a Betazoid wedding?
THAT should solve the catsuit/miniskirt "problem" right there.
Would the PTB ever consider having a female Captain and First Officer?
And some of those writers will be women. I also hope they can do whatever the heck they want.
Okay. Now I really want to see Uzo Aduba as the new captain.
And maybe actually make them unisex. I think it was Marina who said in an interview that, once they changed the uniforms, it was only the men who got the (more comfortable) two-piece uniforms, while the women continued to wear spandex.
