Just another reason to love DS9
No catsuits
No captains, w/shirts off
No yeoman's w/skirts up their asses (
)
This is SO freaking true. If it were any more true, other things that are true would start complaining that this one thing is stealing all the true.
Which doesn't mean that there weren't people to drool after, but it felt a lot more natural and not as forced. (ENT was particularly bad in that regard, the decon scenes come to mind in particular. Not that I mind watching guys take off their shirts all the time, but it was a bit funny to see a show trying so hard to be 'sexy'.)
This, too. (Well, not the part about watching guys take off their shirts, but the rest
). I know I don't speak for everyone, but I find that active attempts to "be sexy" often have the opposite effect. I'm in the "Women in uniform are hot" camp. A cute girl in, say, a late DS9-era Starfleet uniform is FAR more attractive to me than the same girl would be in, say, a Seven-style catsuit.
And that ENT decon garbage was one of the most pathetic, sad things I've ever seen in a Trek show.
I don't think this show gets an appropriate amount of snaps for sexy uniforms done well. Jadzia and Kira's season six and seven uniforms were prime examples of how a sexy look could be pulled off without sacrificing utility. The fact that I could look at them and find them sexy while still buying into the idea that anybody would work in such a get-up is a major contributing factor to my liking of the female cast on DS9.
I agree with your general point here, but I'm not so sure on Kira's season 7 uniform. It was just a bit too... well, catsuit-ish. It wasn't
quite on the same level as the actual catsuits worn by Seven or T'Pol (or the crazy outfits Troi wore on seasons 1-5 of TNG), but it was definitely borderline
, I thought.
I do think what you are saying applies strongly to the late DS9/FC Starfleet uniform, though (one of the reasons it's my favorite one). On Jadzia, Ezri, and Kira (too bad her appearance in it was so brief!), it worked extremely well in a "functional yet sexy" way.
But the real sex appeal of the show was Weyoun. I don't understand how there's not more conversation about him.
Oh dear. I'm afraid you've lost me here.

That's reason to
dislike DS9
Well, there were, in
Trials & Tribble-ations.
Unfortunately. That ep was great fun, but gha, those hideous "uniforms"...
Sorry she has short hair and no curves. The other negative point for her is she showed up late and made part of season seven slightly less appealing.
If by "slightly less appealing", you mean "more appealing by several orders of magnitude", then I agree!
I'm with
Kegg on this one: Ezri is the cutest character in Trek, ever. Beauty (or "hotness", or what have you) is of course in the eye of the beholder. Case in point: apparently you don't, but I generally like short hair on women. It depends on the person, but it can look incredibly sexy.
Which brings me around to answering the OP's question (at the very end of my post, naturally): no. Just the opposite, in fact: Ezri, as I said, is the best-looking Trek character to me. But if I had to choose a number 2, 3, and 4 to follow her, it'd be Kira, Leeta, and Jadzia (though I'm not entirely sure on the order
within those three). There are some moderately attractive characters on some of the other shows, but no one can compete with the DS9 chicks.
I surely hope that's not the case...
She certainly had one of the best butts in Trek
- words cannot describe.
